How Joseph Anderson fell in love with a Bike in Death Stranding

[@retinas2001]

I don't control the ads on this video. It got claimed because of the songs in the game. I'm sorry if the ads affects your viewing experience. Use adblock if you can. If you want to support me for editing these videos, I have a Ko-fi: ko-fi.com/retinas2001 I am not Joseph Anderson - I just edit these videos. This is not my job, and I don't need this money to survive. If you want to support Joe, the best way is by subscribing to his Twitch channel: www.twitch.tv/andersonjph This will be my last upload this year. I didn't expect that I would become a youtuber at the start of this year, but I guess I just really felt like making that jedi survivor video all of a sudden back in May, and now here we are. These death stranding streams are important to me because these are the first Joe streams I watched - not live, I just went through all the vods back in early 2020. So I'm glad I got to make this.

I heard a lot about Bike-chan. And I’m very excited to know what happened. Definitely looking forward to discovering some “new techs” as well.

[@dudeskeela]

"is there a new pokemon called akira?" Edit: I gotta say, and i mean this with the most positive intention, your videos are ridiculously impressive for just being stream edits at the end of the day. Your work has really woken me up to this form of creativity being a beautiful expression of art. There is clearly so much love for Joe, the community and creative editing poured into these videos. This, trolley-chan, star wars and starfield all took me on such a ride. One minute im belly laughing, the next im pogging so hard i wake up my family. And right now im writing this with tears in my eyes having just finished the video. I normally watch youtube on my phone, but every time i run another one of your edits i find myself using the biggest screen i have available. Taking in your work has been an experience that im super grateful for - thank you.

[@cycy8699]

Retinas edits would sell more tickets than wolverine x deadpool

[@MarikBentusi]

"Trucks don't get the song" :D :D :D Very nice compilation, cool that you kept track of all the different bikes. Makes me excited for DS2 because there's nooo way that New And Improved Joe would let the bike count get that far. Not in a post-Trolley world.

[@retinas2001]

You can thank Chipped Chap for that. He kept count in his comments under the first 4 vods, which I used extensively in the making of this video. Although my numbering of the bikes is slightly different, because he didn't include the one that Joe immediately drove into a river and destroyed, because he then reloaded to before he ever fabricated it, making Chipped Chap's count total to 10 rather than 11.

[@mustard9933]

Great fan art

[@MarikBentusi]

@@mustard9933 thank you! :)

[@buttonasas]

The "one trip" bit _carried_ the whole stream, IMO. Bike chan was just an addition that also had to be carried throughout the whole game - or else it wouldn't be one trip!

You make the best joe edits Death stranding was one of the first series I actually caught live and the bike chan saga was amazing to behold. I wasn't planning on watching the live streams, but that did it for me. You always get to the core of these stream arcs and tell them beautifully. Great job
