 Ga> Anyone watching The Last of Us? Did you play the game(s)? What do you
 Ga> think?

My wife and I are watching it. We haven't played the game but I would really like to...I'm waiting for the PC version but also am not sure how it'll work out since I'm watching the series first hehe.

We watch The Walking Dead, which I was sick of after like season three, but we watched until the bitter end (which was crap btw) and then starting this show naturally we drew some parallels. However, I like that there's the backstory up front, they lay down the science, and we know there's a "point" or a desired endstate here. TWD, by comparison, was just a silly syndicated drama with zombies as a backdrop, but I digress.

 Ga> I've played the games and have seen the first two episodes. So far so
 Ga> good! I think it should be a good watch for people unfamiliar with the
 Ga> games too, it does not require any knowledge of them.

I really like the show so far. I like how dark and gritty it is. The lack of plot armor for certain characters is very compelling so far.
