Another Look at The Last of Us Season 2
The second season of The Last of Us is only one month away! April is gonna be a great month for television, between TLOU and Andor. I can’t wait! But I have to wait. And while waiting, I can watch this new trailer we got recently, and share it with all of you.
Looks good to me! I loved The Last of Us 2 the game, and I can’t wait for that drama to make its way into the show. I have full faith that the showrunners will do right by all that good character stuff, and we get hints of it in this trailer. So great trailer, I say!
The second season of The Last of Us comes to MAX on April 13.

Our First Look at The Last of Us Season 2
The Last of Us was a huge hit as a TV show, and I agree it was pretty awesome — even if I felt that the emotional impact was lessened by having already played the game and seen the story. But that’s just on me. It was an awesome show! And season 2 is coming next year.
Unlike all those chuds on the internet, I loved the second game and can’t wait to see it play out on the show. It was an awesome game with an awesome story and awesome characters, and we get to see some of them teased in this new trailer. It all looks great to me! I heard somewhere that the second game is being split into two seasons, which makes sense if they want to draw out the success of the show. And that’s fine by me. I like having good shows and good video games.
The Last of Us returns to HBO sometime next year.

6 Thoughts on The Last of Us Part II
I don’t review very many video games on this blog because I don’t consider myself a video game reviewer at all. I’m a pretty bad comic book and movie reviewer, why would I subject anyone to my thoughts on video games? I usually either like them or don’t. I also usually take forever to play a game. I’m not about to cram through an entire video game in a weekend to get my review up on time. That’s not this kind of blog.
But The Last of Us Part 2 is such a self-contained game that I’ve decided to share my thoughts with the world now that I’ve finished — roughly two and a half weeks after it came out.
Video game rating: 10/10 – Fantastic!
The Last of Us Part 2 is the subject of a lot of controversy on the internet, because deep down, the internet sucks and brings out the worst in people. This game also deals with a lot of sensitive topics, and people have thoughts on those. Some people also just don’t like the game and want to talk about that. So it’s really only to benefit me that I feel the need to share my thoughts with the world. What’s one more voice among the masses?
I don’t know. All I know is that I played a video game and loved every second of it. Join me after the jump for my thoughts. Expect FULL SPOILERS for both The Last of Us Part 2 and the first game.

Sorry folks, no comic book reviews this week. Both Marvel and DC essentially took the week off on new releases, and anything that did come out was not on my read list. And as much fun as it probably would have been, I just didn’t feel like scrambling through all six issues of Hawkeye: FreeFall.
I’m also sitting pretty on a 4-day weekend this American holiday and just didn’t feel like tracking down anything else to read and review. So I got nothing on this fine Saturday!
I did discover Girlfriend Reviews on YouTube last night and they’ve been pretty fun to watch. In fact, their latest issue sums up rather nicely everything I loved about The Last of Us Part 2. MAJOR SPOILERS IN THIS VIDEO!
I’m going to have my review/thoughts on The Last of Us Part 2 next Wednesday, so stay tuned for that! And I should have some new Gamer Girl & Vixen content in the week ahead. So next week should be pretty fun for everybody!
It’s just that today isn’t going to be all that great. But hey, Happy Fourth of July!

There Are New Video Games Coming Out After All!
We have not been completely abandoned! There will be new video games coming out in the near future, so at least that’s something to get excited about. I still haven’t bought that Nintendo Switch, but new games for some of the consoles I do own will be great!
Like The Last of Us II! I have avoided all of the leaked plot details, so I’m still excited about this one.
That video is called an “official story trailer”, but I don’t think it tells us the story at all. Other than Ellie is up against some more trouble in the fungus zombie apocalypse.
The Last of Us II comes out on June 19.
Meanwhile, Mortal Kombat 11 is apparently going to drop some new story DLC. Has Mortal Kombat ever done that before?
I could be interested in that. I usually only play the new Mortal Kombat games for the characters and the story. They’ve been adding new firefighters right along for the past year, which amazes me. Is the Mortal Kombat gaming community so strong that people are still excited about random new character additions all these months and months later?
Perhaps that’s why they’re going with full story DLC this time, to entice people like me back. The addition of Sheeva doesn’t hurt. I’ve always liked her as a character. But Fujin is a weird choice to add. And I could care less about Robocop. I have never been interested in the non-MK characters in the game.
Either way, the new Mortal Kombat 11 expansion will arrive on May 26.
