So sayeth the paragon of the vocal arts, who has never made a silly mispronunciation before, ever, and thus is unable to have compassion for humans making stress-based mistakes.

My working theory: he started reading, saw the entire title and just...shut down. understandable!

I mean, yes, it would be easier if you knew the game, but it’s not like Valhalla is a concept invented by Ubisoft. Anyone with even a cursory knowledge of Norse mythology has probably heard of it. And even if you didn’t get that in grade school European history like I did, it’s hardly obscure knowledge, since it’s…

(400+ people in a confined space with studio lighting? Awful),

I mean, their story is only tragic in the sense that we all die when we’re old is tragic. Realistically it’s a very happy story, they live a long life together and die on their own terms.

TLoU 2 is a fantastic game and is worth playing. I’ve beating it twice already. The large majority of negativity comes from either bigots, or people who think Joel deserved a peaceful, happy end (he doesn’t btw).

Sure, although dealing with that is kind of what the plot is about.

Personally I couldn’t get into the second one nearly as much. I got maybe 5 hours in before dropping it.

So far, the show’s main changes from the games seem to come from a really genuine attempt to bring more humanity to the story (and to better leverage a medium where it is less important to have the player interacting with everything that is going on). I’d say they’ve done a great job, and this episode is a testament…

There’s not a shadow of a doubt in my mind that, even if Forspoken had turned out to be a really solid game all the way through, it’d have been completely brigaded by the GamerGate crowd literally just because black woman.

Please don’t listen to anything anyone says about TLOU2 and experience it wholly on your own terms. It’s worth going in as blind as possible.

I hope you get whatever your happy chapters are, too.

I’m 36, by the way. It’s been one heck of a ride so far.

Anti-vaccination is not G-D politics, I wish people would quit saying and equating that. Having an anti-vaccination stance is anti-science, anti-reason, pro-death, and it GETS PEOPLE KILLED.
Politics is stuff like deciding what to spend your taxes on, not deciding whether the immunocompromised in your communities…

Being anti-vax is unforgivable in my view. It is effectively anti-modernity and shows you really do not want to be part of our culture. It also guarantees a huge level of hypocrisy, since invariably you completely depend the advantages that modern life gives you (like being able to post your idiotic ideas on the World…

Is it really controversial for him to have opinions that are shared by a fairly sizeable portion of America?

I guess I have to watch this now.

My one and only dream is that my wife and I get to grow old together. Faces lined with smiles and laughter and time and hair gray and withered. Fat and old and surrounded by cats and the people we love.

That’s all I want.

It’s cool how in adapting Last of Us they are turning what were action levels in the game into emotional ones.

This episode had me crying at multiple points as I was watching. It was a beautiful portrayal. Being a straight man I might not be able to relate on a personal level but what I experienced was a couple blossoming and surviving in an apocalypse and going out on their terms. No matter your orientation it was a heartfelt…

this was better and more hopeful than anything in the game. this is the first time we’ve seen people in the show *living* and not surviving. I cried for a good portion of it, what an incredible change from how nihilistic Bill and Frank’s relationship was in the game
