![]() The artwork, while very stylized, is gorgeous and definitely suits the feelings and impact The Last of Us had on those who've played it. The album will be available for purchase online for $75 on Mondo's website on June 22nd, but the retailer is refraining from announcing the exact time, and recommends that potential buyers watch their Twitter feed for more information. The collection will include four vinyl records, and a heavy-duty slipcase featuring artwork inspired by The Last of Us, created by Olly Moss and Jay Shaw. The soundtrack is set to include both the original soundtrack from the base game, as well as the soundtrack to the prequel DLC, The Last of Us: Left Behind. The vinyl version of The Last of Us soundtrack, entitled The Last of Us 4XLP OST, was announced on the Mondo Twitter feed, as a release exclusive to them. Fans of this recording method and The Last of Us will be happy to know that the game is also getting the vinyl treatment. Whether or not the average gamer has a record player capable of playing back the records, some are happy to see these records produced, if only for the large, detailed box art. All in all a brilliant series: absolutely entertaining, engaging, compelling viewing.Game soundtracks are generally made available for sale in digital, downloadable formats as well as on CD, so fans can re-experience the music that made the most action-packed and dramatic sequences in games even more intense. In rare cases, game OSTs are also released in another format, like Grand Theft Auto V's vinyl record boxset, though this is fairly rare. The series also seems set up for a second season while I was hoping this would be a mini-series. The only negative is that the final episode feels rushed and goes down a path that is a bit disappointing. ![]() Action scenes are fantastic (which you'd hope, as the series is based on a video game). Quite unpredictable to the point of sometimes teasing you into thinking it is going to follow a clichéd path but then going in a different direction. The sub-plots are excellent too while not detracting from the central plot. The central plot - Joel and Ellie's odyssey - provides the spine to the series and provides the series-wide intrigue. On the subject of characters, the dynamic between Joel and Ellie and how this and their relationship changes is one of the highlights of the series and makes for a great story arc. Almost every episode provides a highly engaging character backstory and introduces some very interesting characters. However, in Episode 3 it kicks into top gear and becomes absolutely riveting. However, at this point it's still not entirely compelling as it still resembles a plain zombie/survival-odyssey drama. It starts interestingly enough, sketching the background and the current state of the world, introducing us to the main characters and a broad indication of the main plot. Eventually I gave it a watch and I am very glad I did. I was initially sceptical about this series as it seemed like just another zombie drama. She may hold the key to ending the pandemic. The leader of the local Fireflies offers him an opportunity to find his brother in Wyoming if he helps a teenaged girl, Ellie, get to a Firefly group outside the city. He helps out the resistance, the Fireflies, whenever there's something in for him. Living in Boston is one such survivor, Joel Miller. Survivors cluster together in quarantine centres, which are as much a prison run by the fascist government as a safe haven from the infected. Fast forward to 2023 and the world is in ruins. In 2003 a fungus infects a large proportion of the world's population, turning them into zombies. ![]() Lastly, while insects do gain some level of aggression when infected, they normally do not attack other insects. All 600 species of Cordyceps which seize control of insect bodies do so to force the host into a humid place where the fungus can feed on the body and spread its spores, so if an evolved cordyceps infected a human and over the course of many days transformed the body into a shambling host, the fungus' end goal would be much the same. Even if it did, fungal infections are slow, taking a matter of weeks, and nothing like the near-instant transformation depicted new filaments take some time and energy to produce. Human brains contain hundreds of thousands of times more neurons compared to an ant brain, and it would be an extraordinarily rapid evolution for cordyceps to gain the ability to infect and take over one. Overall, the probability of a fungus of this type evolving the need and capability to infect humans is astronomically small. As with the game, the series' depiction of the cordyceps fungus has some inaccuracies.
