The Last Of Us Part 2

-


Sony's E3 games last week have been insane, but the one game that stood out, to me at least, was and still is Naughty Dog's The Last of Us Part 2. This game has been enigmatic. The gameplay shows us a much older Ellie, killing her way through a very detailed and realistic level.

My favorite part has to be when Ellie stabs the cult member in the head from under the car. Insane! Definitely a new way to use stealth and to interact with the environment, and I'm liking that.

In The Last of Us Part 2 trailer, there's still a lot more questions than answers. Like, no release date, really? Also there's no Joel, come on. What happened with Ellie's mom? And who exactly are the coat wearing cult Ellie's fighting? Those people are nuts, they sure like to hang and disembowel people. Plus we've yet to see a clicker, what the hell?


Naughty Dog last left us with Joel basically dooming humanity when he stopped the Fireflies from performing a lethal operation on Ellie that could have produced a cure for the Cordyceps Brain Infection. Sure, he saved his surrogate daughter's life, but he also went against her wishes, damning humanity to generations of scratching out an existence against the backdrop of the zombie apocalypse.

Whether or not Ellie bought Joel's lie is still currently unknown, but what we do know is that she seems return pissed. In the game's first trailer, Ellie states an intent to "Kill every last one of them." Wow, don't f*ck with Ellie. While the E3 2018 trailer intercuts moments of tender friendships and romance with revenge and violence.


In a recent interview at E3 it was confirmed that The Last of Us Part 2 is set in Seattle with the return of Factions, the multiplayer mode from the original game. I guess that's cool for the ones who like multiplayer. For me though, it's just not my thing. I prefer the story but that's just me.


My overall review of this this game is 5 🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕 f*ck yeahs. Tell me what you think, your thoughts, or fan theories that you might have as we sit here and wait impatiently for another clue.

Developer: Naughty Dog
Title: The Last of Us Part 2
Release Date: 2019???

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia Season 13

On Thursday, FX finally announced the premiere date for season 13 of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia . The show comes back this fall but sadly, it sounds like they won't all be back together scheming at Paddy's Pub. What we know for the upcoming season is that Charlie hopes to have a child with The Waitress, Mac sets out to understand his newfound sexuality, Dee takes feminism to new heights, and Frank goes to great lengths for the Gang to experience the greatest moment in Philadelphia sports history...an Eagles Super Bowl victory! It all sounds great as Kitten Mittens , but what about the inventor of the D.E.N.N.I.S system , our favorite sociopath, Dennis Reynolds? Dennis left at the end of season 12 by stepping up to be a father, so it is unclear on how big or small Dennis' role will be in the new season. But we are talking about Dennis Reynolds here. Come on, he's bound to get bored, right? He can't do the right thing forever, can he? It would be ni

Shadow of the Tomb Raider

Are you excited for Lara's new adventure? I am . Shadow of the Tomb Raider is the third installment of the rebooted Tomb Raider series. In this game, Lara is agile as ever, climbing trees and getting the drop on enemies remains a solid approach as seen at E3. When a Trinity soldier gets too close, you can use a stealth kill that has Lara fire a rope arrow at the soldier, drop from the tree, and string him up. The stealth is so insane that you could covered Lara in mud. Too f*cking cool! Let's get to the plot of this game. We know that Lara Croft will stop at nothing in order to prevent the Maya Apocalypse. She must master a deadly jungle, overcome terrifying tombs, and persevere through her darkest hour as she races to defeat Trinity once and for all. Jonah also returns as Lara's loyal friend to help her and he’s needed more than ever. At times he acts as a moral compass, other times he may question Lara’s motives. He’s always Lara’s friend, but this time you’l

Batman #50

Okay, today is the day, Batman and Catwoman get married? Writer Tom King urge fans to avoid the articles for potential spoilers and if the worst had already happened, just give the comic a chance anyway. I did. If you haven't read Batman #50 then STOP HERE and get it because SPOILERS are ahead... Batman #50 begins with Bruce and Selina deciding that they should really just elope (all while beating up Kite Man). Pretty bad-ass to be talking about wedding plans while kicking ass, right? Bruce can find a judge, they’ll each bring a witness, and they’ll meet at dawn on the rooftop where Bruce proposed, about a year ago, to pledge their vows. Alright, long story short...Selina writes a letter confessing that, in her mind, marrying Bruce is an act that would destroy Batman. "I wish I could give my life, but I can’t," she concludes. "I have to give more. My sacrifice is my love. It’s you. With all my love, Cat." Selina basically leaves Bruce waiting on
