I Never Saw Any Pacing Issues With TLOU HBO, Like The Thought Literally Never Crossed My Mind. I Talked

I never saw any pacing issues with TLOU HBO, like the thought literally never crossed my mind. I talked to other people who’ve watched it without/before playing the video game, no one said anything about pacing issues. In fact basically the only people who complain about pacing issues are the people who played the games.

At first I took this as the rose tinted glasses toward the games like I have for the show, where the thing you experience first you’re probably going to like more, and people were just annoyed that it was different. Then I saw this post that made so much sense to me that it just changed my whole perspective on it.

I’m not sure how to find it now, but it basically said that it made sense people who played the games would feel like the pacing is off or that they were rushing through it, because when they played the game there were these long breaks in between the important scenes for gameplay. In the show there weren’t long breaks for fights or item collecting, so of course it feels rushed for the people who played the games.

For some reason I hadn’t thought of that, and it totally floored me.

Oh hell yeah I love questions and statements! Please question and statementize me

bring back tumblr ask culture let me. bother you with questions and statements

If I had a nickel for every time there was an honestly really good darkly comedic show starring a young, naive woman who learns about the darkness of the world but doesn’t let it change her, her loser boyfriend who’s desperate to feel some control in the world, which also featured a manipulative, chaotic, charming, awesome man with an accent and featured a scene where someone reluctantly cuts a dead guys body part off, that’s really a satire about corporate greed by fucking AMAZON, I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice.

*chanting* GHOSTS GHOSTS GHOSTS

It’s… well, believe it or not it’s sorta angsty, actually. Basically the synopsis is that back in Jackson, Ellie starts to see hallucinations of the people who she’s killed, directly or indirectly (that she blames herself for).

Can I just—

LOOK AT THIS GUY!! LOOK AT HIM!!

I LOVE THIS ZOMBIE SO MUCH!!! He’s like… gorgeous, in this scary way. The cordyceps growing out of him, the way he moves, it’s just amazing.

Not to mention the prosthetics, makeup and effects that went into this. Seriously I cannot express my love for this big guy.

i just rewatched the first twenty or so minute of tlou a couple days ago and something hit me. when the soldier finds joel and sarah, the first thing joel says is “my daughter’s hurt. her ankle.” he doesn’t say she twisted her ankle or broke it or that they had a car accident. no. he says she’s hurt. right after the soldier shot the infected running after them.

joel’s words are the ones the soldier repeats to his superior. the ones that leads whoever it is to give the order to shoot them both. so i guess what i’m saying is that in a way—
