We have no emotional connection to Issac whatsoever. It’s like asking us to feel sorry for a brick because its brick children have all left home and never write it letters

Give me more!!!
The Last of Us, enough is enough i’ve had it with all of these same old pictures seeing the same thing reblogged day after day after day. hit me with a new trailer or gameplay footage or i’ll prolly switch around my priorities a bit :/
Hypocrisy much?
Amman claims to hate benders. yet he is an energybender. he bends people’s energies to take bending away like Aang did to Ozai. But he wants to eradicate all benders. Hypocrite! I say hypocrite!
No, I’m not racist, you knee-jerk, lemon-scented pussy wipes. Believe me, anyone who pulls their pants down around their knees, blows all their money on jamming diamonds into their teeth while living in a slum, and treats women like dogs you can put your knob in, they’re just a ridiculous, poisonous fuckhead whether they’re black or white. It’s very depressing when you can’t make honest cultural commentary without having to disavow the assumption that your feelings are motivated by an irrational hate-trigger response to different levels of melanin. You know what? A society where anyone can make jokes about anyone else and everyone laughs is a truly tolerant society. Political correctness-charged censorship only serves to engender resentment and distance between social groups. Besides, gangster rappers don’t need defending. They’ve got guns for that!

That is a creeper on top, for scale
The Ballad of Pillock
At this point, the game designer’s boss says, “Okay, that’s the combat. What other gameplay mechanics will there be?”
“Well!” replies the game designer…whom I will name Pillock. “How about, on some of the levels, everything goes all red and black and cel-shaded?”
“Er, no,” says Pillock’s boss, nobody’s fool but his own, “that’s just the same gameplay mechanic in pretentious arty bullshit-o-vision.”
“Oh, right! I misunderstood you at first,” replies Pillock. “There’s also some Prince of Persia-style platforming sections, but you know how in Prince of Persia it was always clear where you were supposed to go and what was a ledge and what wasn’t? Well, I think we should do the exact opposite of that and occasionally plunge important platforms in total darkness so you have to make leaps of faith like it’s The Last Crusade.”
“That sounds good,” says Pillock’s boss. “Actually, no, that sounds awful. And why is your head bandaged?”
“Also,” continues Pillock, “every now and again, during a cutscene, a button will flash up and if you don’t press it fast enough you have to start the cutscene all over again because of global flobal wobbly bits.”
“Those are called Quick Time Events,” says Pillock’s boss with increasing concern, “and they’re the worst idea in the world.”
“I know it’s the best idea in the world!” says Pillock. “So I’m just going to make a load of those instead of boss fights, and the final climactic level will just be an extra-long sequence of them because trying to be creative makes blood come out of my nose.”
“I’d better go now,” says Pillock’s boss, making motions towards the exit and eventually a phone to call the police.
“Wait!” yells Pillock, banging his head against the desk for attention. “What about special challenge modes where you have to get around a training course in a certain time?”
“That’s actually not a bad idea,” says his boss, stopping at the door.
“I know!” says Pillock. “That’s why I’m going to occasionally force the player to complete one during Story Mode for no apparent reason except to appease the octopus that lives in my head.”
Then Pillock’s boss goes away and throws himself in front of a train, although it was stopping at the station so he pretty much just makes a fool of himself.
