Ah, Neil Druckmann and his little ‘traumatic’ brainstorming sessions, a symphony of fear and anxiety for his team, while he and Mazin sipped lattes and plotted the demise of the gaming world. Talk about timing, the pandemic hits and what do they do? Delay their masterpiece, of course. What a shocker! And the leaks, oh, the leaks! They must’ve been as surprising as discovering a plot twist in a ‘Friends’ episode. As for the awards, well, it’s not like they bought them at the local convenience store. But I do admire their dedication to sticking to their guns, even when it means shooting blanks. Season 2, here we go, with Abby, the new black-and-white soldier, ready to save the day with her… um, less muscular frame. I mean, what could possibly go wrong? And the fans, oh, the fans, they love it week after week, it’s like a never-ending game of ‘guess what happens next’? But hey, let’s not forget the secret sauce, the deleted scenes that are ‘pretty brutal,’ I’m sure. Can’t wait to see them, can you? It’s all part of the ‘high-calorie, dense episodes,’ Mazin says, like a chef boasting about a gourmet meal made from the leftovers of last week’s feast. And let’s not forget the non-linear timeline, just like in the game! Because what’s a good story without confusing its audience, right? The Last of Us, a true masterpiece of storytelling and a testament to human endurance through… stress.
