After a long seven year wait we've finally got our hands on one of the most anticipated game sequels of all-time - the follow up to 2013's smash hit survival game, The Last of Us. The game sees us catch up with Joel and Ellie some 4 or 5 years after the events of the first game still navigating a world plagued by infected people but now with the added danger of further groups of survivors threatening their way of life. Along with those familiar faces we now have some new characters including Dina, Jesse and a new main antogonist called Abby.
Join us as we dissect one of the best games of the year and of this entire gaming generation in our longest ever episode. Of course it goes without saying that this episode will contain SPOILERS so please get yourself comfy, listen and then hit up our Twitter (https://twitter.com/FamousLastNerd) page to let us know what you think about the game, your favourite moments, any gripes you may have and all that good stuff!

The Snyder Cut and Toxic Fandom
Ever since the quite indifferent response to it's release in 2017, Justice League has been plagued by one question... WHERE IS THE SNYDER CUT?? The fabled version lauded by original director, Zack Snyder, who unfortunately had to leave the project due to a family emergency and many fans on various social media platforms since Zack himself has spent a lot of time telling people what his version contained, what was cut from the cinematic release and how much better his version would have been.
This has led to a very toxic surge of fans - especially on Twitter - led by Zack himself pushing the #ReleaseTheSnyderCut hashtag for years in order to pressure Warner Bros/DC into releasing this version.
Well that time has come as HBO have confirmed that in 2021 they will be screening this version. Now renamed as "Zack Snyder's Justice League", it's set to be screened a 4 hour miniseries rather than an actual film and they're putting up to $30M in to complete the editing... even though Zack has stated many times that the film was completely finished. Hmmmm.
Well with this being such a huge talking area in our arena we had to talk about this didn't we? Not just the release itself but the movement behind it and the possibily ramifications going forward. Is this a good step for loyal fans or a really bad step for entitled people who aren't getting exactly what they want?
