 Latest Update    ---The Game--- Winner of literally some awards, The Last of Us is an acclaimed story/character-based Third-Person Shooter from Naughty Dog, fresh off the heels of their Uncharted series. We take the role of Joel, an old Texan grizzly bear, right as the apocalypse hits. People have become infected with a mind and body-warping fungus, effectively turning into rage zombies and sending the country into military lockdown chaos. After 20 years of hell, Joel is tasked with delivering a young teenager, Ellie, to a group across the country. They must face the mindless infected, the indiscriminate military, and the cutthroat outlaws that roam the landscape on their long journey towards character development. ---The LP--- This LP is headed by Travis (BigTUnit1). It's a standard playthrough - as much of the game will be shown as possible, but Travis isn't too hung up on missing things. Because the game is so dialogue intensive, there will be two versions of each video: one with all of our commentary, and one completely without (RAW). ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------                    Our ill-fated first take        (Ashmonsterr, Tumblr)   (By MassRafTer)

That watch description had me in tears. What a start to this serious, dark LP.

I look forward to you making a completely irreverent mockery of this beautifully crafted game with stellar atmosphere  (I am completely serious, by the way. This is going to be loving awesome) e: I'm a terrible person because when the game cut to the title screen, the first thing to run through my head was this ManlyGrunting fucked around with this message at 00:01 on Nov 22, 2014 |

It's more like "Austin -is- Travis County", plus parts of a few other municipalities that it's swallowed up". Considering the opening location (somewhere between San Marcos and Austin), it might have actually started in Kyle or Buda. As for the tone y'all are taking, I'm with ManlyGrunting. This game was given a serious treatment by Geop, it's time for it to get a wedgie. As an aside, you mentioned that people respect Tess. They do. But they're scared -shitless- of Joel. citybeatnik fucked around with this message at 04:04 on Nov 22, 2014 |

Oh, this is going to be fun to see how this LP compares to Geop's. Also, the QZ you start at is actually in Boston. Takes a while before you reach Pennsylvania.

This is the actual watch, she kind of hoped he wouldn't want it and that she'd be able to keep it.

Impossibly lovely watch may be my favourite original character that you guys have made. I like to think that the numbers are all different languages somehow, except for nine which is just a question mark and three is the cantonese symbol for "house". e: and the winding knob is red hot to the touch. Christ, I'm writing watch fanfiction. ManlyGrunting fucked around with this message at 21:37 on Nov 28, 2014 |

So, now we're saying the watch sounds like it's possessed by Satan. This is amazing. The Watch is the true hero of this game. Or the villain. Take your pick.

I know this isn't exactly a 100% run, but goddamn leaving that shiv door behind drove me nuts. The watch should totally have a hundred things about swimming that it only says if you're in the water. They're all in Swahili.

I seem to remember watching Geop's playthrough of this game and seeing him "stealth kill" clickers with a brick somehow. This memory makes me cry every time you pass up a brick. Then you guys bring up the watch and all is forgiven. That loving watch, man.

The entire time the Runners were fighting in the museum I just sat there in awe of the fact that Ellie is essentially invisible to the infected. It drove me insane when I first played through because Ellie would seriously dart across a room full of Clickers and somehow not alert them, it's like Skyrim's stealth system. I hope the watch gets its own spinoff series.

See these prior two posts? This is something TheStrawhatNO! has a bit of a problem with. King is by far the worst example for taking up most of the latter half of the Sleeping Dogs LP's commentary (possibly an overstatement, but not by much) and getting used so often since then, but yeah. Just because the commentators still think a joke is funny doesn't mean the audience does. Ultimately, this may not be the LP group for you if you don't like running gags. I personally tend to enjoy this group's LPs, but I would gladly go the rest of my life without hearing "By the way, Wei" again. With that said; TheStrawhatNO!, just keep on keeping on.

Way I see it, running gags are okay but they can still be overused and just end up getting old. There's nothing wrong with a bit of critique like that I think. I'm not saying "you guys are shits, shut up about the watch," it's more like "the watch schtick is already starting to run a bit thin in my opinion, maybe be careful with it."

I find it hard to judge the use of the watch joke too harshly after laughing along to the brick jokes in Geop's LP.

Running jokes are sort of this group's "thing". I remember Pi-Bot was a big running gag in the Bomberman Heroes LP, although I feel that nobody got more amusement out of that gag than the one's making it. I generally think it's kind of endearing for LPers to laugh at their own jokes.

I guess it's a matter of taste, yeah, it'd just be nice if there were more to it than "haha the watch is bad." There's plenty going for the LP though, so it's not like I'm completely trashing it.

I have a feeling that the watch will kind of wind down (I'm sorry) as the game progresses. I don't think it has the life that the brick did in Geop's LP

I personally don't find it stale at the moment, but most anything will if its waters are tested enough. Still loving the LP so far regardless, watch jokes or not. That being said, this group has a particularly high tolerance of running jokes, as previously stated.

Personally, I came here for King jokes, and I'm staying for the watch jokes. Mostly I'm just waiting for him to write a song based on what the watch has whispered in his ear while sleeping inside Wei's trunk and/or backseat.

In a reference to the running gag comments, allow me to give you guys a peak behind the curtain. More often than not, we record these videos in bunches, so more often than not a running gag is still fresh in our minds at that point, hence us laughing at it throughout episodes. Now as time progresses, or when we find something that distracts from it, we'll usually move on, and occasionally reference it later. Maybe not as passionately, but sometimes you just think of something else stupid to add onto it. Also, from anyone who has made a let's play before, you know that filling in time with things to say can be difficult, especially if the videos is particularly long. I come from a radio and podcast background, so dead air is the worst thing to me, and I do what I can to fix that. Neither Yoshi or Thorn have played The Last of Us, so any reference points of subjects to talk about come from their perspective on my video or something that they notice. With us being such silly assholes, we often find the humor in a lot of things, and with an hour to fill per episode? Yeah, you might hear us laugh at a gag for a while, but we eventually move on. I will do what I can to keep the guys on track here in the future though, but seeing as we tend to pull stuff out of our rear end as we watch (no pun intended), I can't make any promises.

man this LP is going to remind how goddamn LONG this game is. Don't get me wrong, sometimes having a linear game that is about as long as any other grindy rpg is fine but sometimes you just want to sit down and blow through a game in an hour or two.
