Sad that a classic game was destroyed? Yes.

Worth $4000? Definitely not.
Worth $3950 to for the WATA games ‘graded level’? Abso-fucking-lutely NOT.

I suppose we see what we want to see. I still feel like she was a badass and that what they have been doing is trying to up the level of fear felt for the infected over certain scenes in the show (both Joel and Tess seem MUCH more apprehensive about running into infected than in the game). The way she handled herself…

Yes... The *horrific* imagery in this *horror* show was, in fact, quite *horrific*.

Where in the PlayStation games she was a confident, dynamic character, HBO makes Tess an example

Oh boy. Open up Kotaku to find the first two latest stories containing spoilers in their headlines!  Thanks a bunch Kotaku.

This is the actor born to play that role, just put a blond whig on his head. It also takes the Game of Thrones connection with the other protagonists full circle.

You’d think they’d want Kosinski back, given his most recent stab at bringing back an iconic 80s story to teach us a lesson about the passage of time. 

It’s not brainwashing, it’s gut-level cowardice. By tying the pandemic to their political beliefs, now if they admit the pandemic is wrong, they have to acknowledge at least some of their political beliefs might be wrong. In the worst case they might have to own up to their carelessness getting a friend or family…

It should be a tough, relevant watch. We probably need more stories that hammer this point home. I work with ppl that still say “I don’t believe in the vaccine”, and that’s in the face of other co-workers getting sick 3-4 times over now. It’s both infuriating and exhausting, but they are brainwashed, plain and simple.

If you were to make a movie with the American Government’s actual response to Covid, without having lived through it, everyone would say the writing was far-fetched and wildly unbelievable.

There are two. There’s a live action emo one and a very funny animated one.

This show looks amazing and has the potential to be iconic.

Ugh. 

Also the intro credit remind me of a mushroom game of thrones

Well what else is a guy supposed to do when his girlfriend doesn’t appreciate the air jordans he gave her but build a digital wife and then regift them???

This just screams Krieger from Archer...

Having just spent ten years making my horrible starter home worth living in, then selling it, I can attest that the line between fixing up a house and performing Sisyphean labors in hell does blur after a while.

In states like New York, you can expect your name to be released to the media —meaning everyone in the world now knows you’re a multi-billionaire.

I don’t have traditional cable and don’t subscribe to AMC+ so I had no idea it was a thing.  I must not have paid attention to the coverage here.  It’s one of the downfalls of segmented streaming options. 

It’s a pretty long standing issue in tech that testing for this type of thing has GIGANTIC blindspots when it comes to potentially bigoted comments.
