Four Haiku about The Death Stranding Trailer

Thursday, June 16, 2016


A lot of people seem to be very excited about Death Stranding, the new game from Kojima, announced at E3. All we have is a trailer. A trailer without context or narration that features a naked Norman Reedus cradling an infant attached to him by an umbilicus. I don't know how to be excited about this. I can't even interpret it at all. So instead, we've all chipped in and written some haiku about the trailer. We hope you enjoy them, they are about as informative as the trailer itself.

Dead crabs on a beach
Norman Reedus, nude, holds child
Five guys in sky. Why?

Fallen brilliance.
Just say yes, he signs the checks.
What did we just make?

Wesley Hammond

Bad publicity.
There is none. Make weird trailer,
perplex E3, profit.

Are crabs unworthy
of inky umbilici?
Yes. They aren't mammals.
