Video Game I Can't Wait For:

Welcome to our newest series... Video Game I/We Can't Wait For. Reese is being totally lazy, sooo here's another post from me. Basically it's just going to be video games that Reese and I can't wait for. We need them now. Particularly me, I'm not patient at all. Hopefully The Last Of Us is not disappointing, like Dead Island was (which I still enjoyed). However, that's a subject for another post. Enjoy the trailer below.

The Last Of Us:


Summary:
"The main characters in the game, Ellie and Joel, are played by Ashley Johnson and Troy Baker, respectively. Joel is a "ruthless" survivor with few moral lines left to cross, and Ellie is a 14-year-old girl who is wise beyond her years. However, Ellie, as opposed to Joel, was born after the fungal pandemic spread, and has no knowledge of the world prior to the incident.

The Last of Us begins in a Boston quarantine zone 20 years after a fungal plague called Cordyceps unilateralis mutated to become contagious to humans and decimated modern civilization. Ellie, a 14-year-old orphan, resides in a strict boarding house, and Joel, who is a black market dealer within the quarantine zone, sells weapons and drugs. An unknown traumatic event occurs where Joel makes a promise to a dying friend that he will take care of Ellie and help her escape. As Ellie and Joel make their way out of the quarantine zone, the game begins to play throughout areas across the United States, including a now post-apocalyptic Pittsburgh and other locations being reclaimed by nature. After a nearby safe haven fails to work out, Joel and Ellie continue their venture west across a ravaged United States. Along the way, the two must learn to work together in order to survive their brutal journey, and overcome countless hostiles, ranging from infected enemies to hunters and unfriendly survivors. It is also suggested that survival will involve both killing and scavenging."

and also, bonus, a link to the Creepypasta story it reminds me of: http://www.creepypasta.com/up/
Just read it. Do it. Now. Or forever wonder, "what was it?"


Hmm, this is kinda random, but doesn't the girl remind you of Ellen Page?
