Would have been so much better if I’d actually have posted the video the first time around…

I see that The Last of Us has started and it is on ShowMax.
I’m interested in seeing how they do it. I know people make fun of the game, saying it’s more of a movie than a video game.
I’ve always disagreed with that, and feel that the game used subtle (but important) player interaction to become an effective narrative and interactive experience. This is especially true of the 2nd game.
So I am curious as to how it adapts to a passive format.

It is a zombie genre, I detest zombie anything but… I will give the first episode a watch. I will see if the story/actors are of a quality to overcome my innate dislike of zombies.
Jonathan Stroud! Wow. The other day my brother and I were talking about Harry Potter, and how many other good fantasy authors should get movie adaptations. Stroud, and his Bartimaeus books was one we both loved.
I’ve not read Lockwood, but I’m now keen on this show.
I cannot wait! The cliffhanger from this season was too much for me, the whole of season 6 was unique. Still upset that these guys don’t get nominated, cos holy crap, AJ Buckley as Sonny was beyond this season. He stole the show for me.
