Last of us HBO

Surprised no one had discussed this, it’s so hot right now. Anyone watching? I’m finding it ok, but it’s like playing the game with less action so far.  Like the cold opens though, the first one with the talk show was great.

played both games and im loving the show so far. last week's episode with the clickers was great. they seem to be hitting all the major things while at the same time adding a bit more context and background to the story.

Forgot about the time jump and when Pedro Pascal said he was 36 in the prologue, I def yelled “fuck you” out loud haha (I’m 37)

I would definitely laugh if someone added “push triangle to talk” in some of those scenes in ep 2, but I think it’s def walking that tight rope of adapting a source material whilst doing your own thing.

Never played the game.
I’ve heard the reviews and how people I know kept saying, “it plays like just a movie!” So it’s funny to see it as a show and following up with breakdown videos where people call out how the show is true to the game and incorporates Easter eggs from the games.
Nothing I do deserves more than an iphone camera.

For those of you who haven’t played it, you really should.  You can get the ps4 version for 9.99 at this point and it’s one of the best stories in gaming, and fun.  I wouldn’t want to ruin that story with the show honnestly.

Last of Us really is one of those must play games on the playstation console.  I have part 2, but won't get around to playing it until summer.
