As a Pittsburgh resident, I remember the day Last of Us came out. I prowled through the ruins of Grant Street, weaving stealthily between makeshift military checkpoints, quietly slaughtering any gunmen too stupid or stubborn to get out of my way, before finally reaching the cracked and crumbling Fort Pitt Bridge. Then I went home and downloaded the game.

I have played it and enjoyed the opening but quickly got bored once the charm of the gorgeous visuals and art direction and the paralel universe quirks wore off, leaving a hollow game revealed unto me. It feels empty and kind of vacuous. I feel it needed boss battles to break up the areas, and to be less linear. A game set in a floating city should let you explore that floating city.

In the proper order of importance: 1) This was a great video essay, review, ABN moving image, whatever you want to call it. I could not get myself to really care enough for the FFVII Remake to watch more than half of the other one so far but that was pretty much down to me not having played any Final Fantasy game ever - so my loss, I guess?! I rectified this situation by playing "The Last of Us" for the first time just this last week and had a good time with it actually. So thank you for keeping on getting me interested in games I did not really have on my radar or at least did not consider to play anytime soon. And thank you for producing video game "content" that does not make me want to quit playing video/computer games every other day. Since I am a lifelong home computer game liker (I'm just a 1980's European, not a console hater) and only occasionally happen to own a current gen console to play any kind of "prestige" video games I was pleasently surprised with TLOS seven years "after the fact". My actual question, because I could not stop thinking of it and you, Tim, have not mentioned it in your video at all: has this game ever been properly/critically compared to Half Life 2? To me there seems to be a fairly direct design and storytelling lineage between the Naughty Dog formula and Valve's first person flavour of environmental storytelling, character building, combatless traversal, setpieces and so on? Every other hour of playing TLOS and going on this road trip through a dystopian landscape and society made me think of my various playthroughs of HL2 during the last 16 years. Down to the Zombie and survival elements of Ravenholm and beyond (scarcity of ammo, switch between more predictable "infected" and highly tactical enemies and so on), the Babychild-Bigfriend is probably not as defined since Alyx seems fairly capable from the beginning and Gordon is such a blank slate guy but still we are dealing with large segments of "escort missions" that actually do not suck and you miss Alyx quite a bit in the moments when she's gone or the two are somehow separated. Also getting into new areas and scanning all the signifiers for possible combat engagements before they actually happen reminded me strongly of HL2. Not trying to stress this too much, I just found it interesting to find such vivid similarities in my play experience and feelings between "the biggest thing" in PC gaming of the mid-2000s and "the biggest thing" on consoles in 2013, which is even more interesting today where PC gaming came back with a vengeance commercially while at the same time PC and console gaming seem closer to each other than ever before in many regards one could argue. 2) It made me very happy that my name has been fixed in the credits of VIDEOBALL, I was not aware of that fact before (had my silly facebook handle in it in an earlier version). I somehow did not even notice that Eric Chahi's and my name are so close to each other in the same credit sequence, I'm flattered (and should get some people to play VIDEOBALL with me again). 3) Some technical issues I'm sure you are aware of already or are actually intentional: Some of these pie chart pieces are disproportionate in size to their stated percental value. Nobody cares, I just could not stop noticing. And is your camera set to autofocus? I even like the shallow image of your tasteful shirt and T-shirt combination somehow, it's just such a stark contrast to the razor-sharp in-game footage and the even sharper superimposed images on top of the footage of yourself. It seems like the lens does not have anything in focus that is actually in the picture. Again, not that I care all that much, it just reminded me of what happens when the AF of a camera is too dumb to correct itself properly. Thanks again. Very much looking forward to watching the DOOM video, finally a game I have played enough for the last 25 years to really have shaped my own opinion and thoughts going in!

Now that I've played both of the games repeatedly and written about them as a hobby throughout the past 2 years it brings me so much joy to just turn on this video and kick back to where I was introduced to the series. Tim, thank you for remastering this review! Your original "glue wet gun" review was fantastic but getting to see your ideas be drawn out to the fullest extent is wonderful to experience.

This is a really good video that actually made me want to play The Last Of Us for the first time, but more importantly, I was utterly enthralled everytime bibby babbus was on screen.

Your exactly right about Cormac McCarthy having a sense of humor. I mean, look at Suttree and the iconic scene of flowing prose serving as a back-drop to a man having sex with a watermelon.

ah yes i could have talked about suttree alone for a couple hours. that and (for example) all the pretty horses have some much more overt examples of the man’s humor. i guess what i was (poorly) trying to say was that something tells me that even as he writes his darkest, morbidest, most jokeless passages he’s amusing himself on some personal private-comical level the reader can never understand. a monster-thick comedy sleeps there in that grimness!

Do people still think McCarthy is humorless? THE COUNSELOR and his final novel dyad have a ton of ultra-dry jokes… whether the jokes are “ha ha” funny or “typed-out ‘lol’” funny may be a different question. (COUNSELOR has a laugh-out-loud dialogue about dog food that didn’t even make it into the theatrical cut of the film.)

It’s strange that my AirPods died and video paused right at this spot with the text on the screen - I was like ‘wth’ when I picked up my phone to press play again

I have rewatched each current instalment of season 1 in the same way I used to reread old Action Button reviews and secret blogposts: repeatedly and eagerly. I’m also really loving the emergent connective tissue between each review in the season that reveals itself upon reflection!

In the thread of "player as actor" I think any/all of the Platinum-style games titles delve into this. If you don't SSS every mission on Dante Must Die you're not performing the "canon" Dante, also see Viewtiful Joe, where upon death the scene is 'cut' by the director and played over again until you, the player, act it out correctly according to the script.

8:25 WRONG. My dad worked for Boeing and had to go to Japan a few times. One time he brought back a copy of N64 Goldeneye , not realizing that it would all be in Japanese and the cartridge wouldn't fit. Most quintessential Dad Move of all time. Hardly slowed me and my brother down though, and didn't dampen the joy of owning Goldeneye for N64 at all. Bro had the idea to file down the corners of the cartridge and make it fit (albeit just a _bit_ loose), and I had already played it at friends' houses enough to navigate the menu blindfolded, so we were set. Really wish my 13 y/o self had the foresight to treasure that cartridge forever, but alas I don't know what became of it.
