@Dice: Thing is that the priorities of the The Last of Us as a game are turn upside down. Is too busy with its dense narrative that it almost forgets that it has to be entertaining, and at no point the game is truly fun, it just works because of the production values and the hunger there was for executing the story they wanted to tell so badly.

That's not to say I don't like long-winded narratives or seeing interaction between characters with some level of chemistry, no, is just that when the game is shoving such a dense narrative down my throat without trying to be subtle or clever, it bothers me because it tells me more about the development of the project than actually make me care what they want to show with the game.

But like I said before, I appreciate the effort put into it and don't hate it, is just stuck in an awkward grey area.

I was more amused the fact it DID sound like it was written by an English Major (i.e.; a lot of the stuff I read in school) than the content of the review itself (which, with all the buzz about the game this past year, I feel like I've heard it all at some point).

I do remember Adam Sessler (the reviewer in the video) saying once that he is an English Major, or something like that.

True, and they're not my favorite in the animal kingdom.

But there is a little known fact that "cute" is defined differently in girl-mind.
Cute = small. Not just adorable. The burrito is just as cute as that hamster. That and the way he takes one giant bite kills me. And the whole mini-restaurant set up.

I enjoyed it, but I'm not sure how that means I lost any manliness...

Mostly joking, but I do giggle at the thought of (say) a body builder going 'aww'.

Gee I'm regretting posting this now. :p
...(and if it helps counter whatever: I think the phrase "man up" is stupid)

Actual thing I wrote earlier today (this is completely true, honest): "Man up and gets some sparkles."

Another video: I miss the show "The Critic" and think it would be awesomely relevant now as ever.
Here's a clip, called Tom Cruise.... the last line always kills me.
http://youtu.be/IH1PJTY9AVA Their portrayal of Orson Welles was also pretty wonderful

While the actors, directors, film critics may come and go, mockably bad movies will never die.
