Last of Us

Well I finished the Last of Us and I gotta say it was as good as they say. Initially it wasn't as 10/10 as everyone said but it grew out and played perfectly.

I'm gonna keep this spoiler free so don't worry to anyone that wants to play the game in the future.

When I spent the 80 for the game I was unsure. Not into those post apocalyptic Shooter games but this was different. This wasn't so much about the setting but the relationship between a man who has been living in a torn world where he has nothing to do but survive and a girl who's been forced into experiences a 14 y.o should never go through. It's an emotional story right from the first scene and had many moments that had me speechless and emotionally involved.

You become so attached to the two main characters that you forgive them for what they do, as you begin to realize there isn't such thing as morality, you just do what you have to in order to survive.

The ending is abrupt and you question the last few moments of gameplay greatly and you wonder if ... Okay won't say anything else in case of mild spoilers.

If you have a ps3 you must play this game. But be warned. It's got serious themes that are very confronting. If you want to borrow it off me just shoot me a FB inbox , there may be a waiting list though. I probably won't play the New Game+ mode until the emotions of my first play through wear off which is going to be a long time, that's how good it was.


On a different note, going to Girra tomorrow to a special F1 in schools promotion event that's happening in the MPC on a request from my teacher last year. It's good to know you aren't forgotten. In fact last time I went to Girra it sounded like my teachers genuinely missed me. Or maybe I'm just saying that to make myself feel good.

Anyway take care readers. Now with the last of us ending in my head I'll probably struggle to sleep. And now that I've finished it, I've got over a month of holidays with no new game to play aha. :(

return of the king

okay so lets see

first of all, I finished my last semester 1 exam today. it wasn't as bad as I thought and touchwood I don't have to repeat any subjects again.

so after the exam, we went to nandos. my goodness that is the good stuff yeah ? but my mates are hardcore and took the hot base, hot sauce. my mouth was burning but it was still good. it was cooled done with a nice taro moochi :D

exams at unsw are bad for multiple reasons but the worst is, junk food is so readily avaialabe after the test so you cant help but indulge in them. not good at your health for all! also, they mean that I have to wake up at 5am for a morning exam. I juts had 3 exams in a row as well but now its all over

today, I purchased the game Last of Us. It's been made by one of my favourite develops, naughty dog. they always to manage to make epic games, like uncharted, crash bandicoot and jak and dexter
all the reviews give it 10/10 or minimum 9 and mots call it the best game on the playstation yet. after this blog post I will go start playing it :)

speaking of video games, I never got to blog about e3. so xbox one v playstation 4. no doubt that it was always highly likely I was going to get the ps4 no matter what microsoft dished out for the new xbox. but jeez they really shot themself in the foot with this one. ps4 dominates this generation and my decision couldnt be easier really. + I want to complete my playstation main console collection, had them all since the ps1 :,)

also the revelation; kingdom hearts 3. I will never forget the original kingdom hearts games. It was my first playstation 2 game and ill never forget it. it didnt take long for kingdom hearts 2 which was also godly.  I remember buying the game and playing it for like 16 hours each for 2 days straight the weekend I got it.

this time, disney has acquired lucasfilm, pixar, marvel so the game has the scope to go massive. but hopefully it stays to its roots. but the producer said the trailer was premature, and that it was still a long way to go.  I hope this isnt the same as Final Fantasy Versus 13 where the trailer was shown in 2006? and now its being confirmed to come out as Final Fantasy 15 soon, like next year. so an 8 year gap. please dont bring my hopes up and crush me like this

oh well, until then, on the 12th of september the HD remake of kingdom hearts 1 and chain of memories will release.

also i realised I never blogged about state of origin 1. well lets see; it was a pretty epic day. first of all, I came to uni for a one hour tute only cause lectures were off. secondly, I scabbed loads of free food at the cookbook launch event at the roundhouse. so that was good.

then pre game, we went to coles and loaded up on food. just randomly, we decided to buy Yakults and just down em like shots. omg theyre so good aha

then during the game . MY WORD. the game was insane, people going NUTS. when gallen punched myles all of NSW: GALLEN! GALLEN! GALLEN! even KILL! KILL ! KILL! ahaha it was so funny.

the pre game entertainment was hilarious as well, the comedian guy, forgot his name took the piss out off queensland, it was so so so funny. then after the game, stayed back for oportos and ran into an ORIGIN LEGEND! got a photo with him and everything, ceebs uploading here, its on my facebook if you wanna see. but its petero civoniceva if anyone didnt know.

also me and my friend are cursed. last time we were at ANZ , we ate so left late and got stranded at olympic park station cause some bulldogs fans got arrested for carrying drugs at lidcombe so trains stopped.

at origin, train before us broke down ad we had to wait 30 minutes for it to fix as well. just a curse. but still maddest night (Y)

on another note, nba finals. wow its such a seesaw and rightfully it will end in game 7. couple of the boys should be gathering at my house, if you wanna come then inbox me on facebook aha.

okay that is uni done for the first semester other than finals which I am utterly screwed for. well yolo

thoughts of uni:

- more lax
- more time to do thing
- not as tight friendships
- too much freedom = people going down the wrong path in life
- gonna fail and belong at TAFE

overall, when I went to visit girra last week, I could truthfully tell all my teachers that I preferred high school. it just seemed more friendly and you had a place there whereas you think in uni, well I contribute jack to this place and if I left someone would replace me lelelel

I only have one semester left till I have full time work so I must enjoy it ye?
