Episode 35 - The Eldritch Truth About Yellow - The Last of Us

Once we're done with this whole thing, I'm gonna teach you how to
podcast. Yeah, I reckon you'd really like that. Welcome to NOCLIP
this week, and this time we're talking about The Last of Us. One of
the most popular games to release on the PS3, Naughty Dog's take on
the zombie apocalypse got a lot of people talking about the
narrative elements of games, including a lot of people who seldom
considered games to be a great storytelling medium beforehand. We
break down that story, as well as the game it's attached to, in
what ends up being a surprisingly divisive discussion on what
elements live up to the hype, surpass it and sometimes even fall
short. We talk about the evolving perspective on the narrative
throughout a playthrough, crafting and dissonance, and what kind of
belt buckle or trailer hitch decoration Joel is most representative
of. Thanks again for listening, and join us next time when we talk
about Earthbound. There's been enough time since we covered
Undertale, right?
