We take a bit of a detour this week to spend some time with Joel’s acquaintance, Bill. He’s a prepper… excuse me, a “survivalist”, whose subterranean bunker is buried only slightly deeper than his heart. Join us for the instant take to hear our first impressions of The Last of Us – S01E03 – Long Long Time.
Jim and A.Ron have harvested organic, free-range fungal feedback for you to consume. Are the trailers telling too much? Is Ellie the only immune human? Is someone out there eating raw flour? What is the rest of the world up to? On top of the questions we have a documentary recommendation and an article for you to check out.
Only two episodes in and the show is capturing the soul of the game in the action, the frightening zombies, and the tense emotional moments that build the characters. Joel, Ellie, and Tess pick their way through Boston, not a creme doughnut in sight, and face off against some savage clickers. Sacrifices must be made in order to survive.
