He’s back! Pixelated Audio’s Gene Dreyband has infiltrated Outer VGMbassy to deliver a payload of tunes from Metal Gear side-stories. Together, he and Ed discover the wackier, less-canonical side of Konami’s flagship action series. Gene also hosts a hilarious quiz for Ed, with some surprising results. And to round it all up, some conversation about series director Hideo Kojima’s departure from Konami and what they’re looking forward to experiencing in his new game, Death Stranding. Tune your Codec to The VGMbassy, and try not to get spotted!
