This is wholesome as all heck. Everybody involved, give yourself a pat on the back.

Agree with this (IMHO). Whatever the show creators intend, Ramsey’s performance is layered and shaded, and ‘activated’ is a term that can itself have a broad range of implications, frankly.

How is Joel less sympathetic in the show? I actually thought they were intentionally dialing him way down to make the ending a more shocking contrast.

i think what a lot of people are missing is that just because the creators say they want to make ellie a certain way doesn’t mean they were 100% successful. to me she came across as mostly traumatized, but the context changes once you hear what they intended for it to come across as. and it’s especially interesting…

Everyone seems primed to react to these articles defensively or whatever, but honestly, in this case, it’s something I picked up on as well during my first watch of the show. They’re definitely treating Ellie differently and trying to push that she is more innately violent than in the game. To me it seems clear to be…

Wanted: Dead  has the actor for Quiet of MGS5 fame? Neat.

Except Vamp can go screw himself.

Why bother competing if they didn’t have to?

You can't say that. It is copyrighted. Mere mortals can only say "The BIG GAME"...

You literally cannot compete with it so why bother 

the boss fights in the first three MGS games are just absolutely perfect! They’re equal parts Bonkers, tense and fun

i laughed when they revealed it was an old man who was the sniper. i played a lot of mgs3 growing up so i could only think of joel vs the end

I have been enjoying this show... greatly.

Why is she full of Kellogs Corn Pops?

* checks online * yes, turns out Sonic is a Sega property

One day, I’d like to see “casual genitals” as a feature on the back of a game box that’s not inherently a sex game.

Look, we’re just getting to the point where nipples are regularly being shown in games and animation, so society is gonna need a little more time to get used to casual genitals.

I’m not in it for the titillation, sometimes it bugs me that otherwise realistic games just kinda... pretend this stuff doesn’t exist. People have genitals! All the time! Even when they’re not being used for sexy stuff! Can’t we just accept that?

Unintended Vaginas sounds like some sort of really weird avant garde punk band

This whole thing is so silly. The game is already rated for nudity, so why is this a deal at all? Am I missing something? Like who’s the person who bought Witcher being shocked that a naked person has genitals?
