via IGN Like many gamers out there, I have a soft spot for The Last of Us . It's a game I've referenced several times here on the blog, even dedicating an entire post to the giraffe scene — and with good reason. Its storytelling is masterful and its characters are so compelling. It's hard not to fall in love with Joel and Ellie and become invested in their surrogate father-daughter relationship as they travel cross-country amid a zombie-ruled wasteland with the fate of the wo

It can be such a punch in the gut when a Found Family falls apart.

Outside of writing, one of my greatest loves is video games—as you can probably tell from many posts on the blog. While I have played some recent titles upon their release, my main focus as of late has been playing games I missed out on when they came out because I didn't have the console needed.
