A follow-up to 2013’s somber, story-focused The Last of Us, developer Naughty Dog’s The Last of Us 2 let players take control of Ellie and new character Abby as they face new threats in what’s left of post-apocalyptic Seattle. While The Last of Us 2 received near-universal praise from critics, fan response to the sequel was decidedly mixed. The introduction of new protagonist Abby, combined with a visceral dislike for the sequel’s reframing of elements of The Last of Us Part 1’s ending, led some disgruntled players to review bomb The Last of Us 2 before the game was even released....

The first is that Joel’s death is raw and unsettling, and it comes as torture both for the characters involved and the players alike, who have to watch a character they learned to love throughout the first game being beaten to death. The second detail is that Joel is killed by Abby, who then lives on to be the deuteragonist of The Last of Us Part 2, which hits harder because Joel saved Abby’s life moments before his death....

When adapting a game for screens, the creators often take some creative liberties with the plot and script. While The Last of Us showrunners have promised that the adaptation will be enough to please fans of the franchise, there will be some deviations. An important one will include Nick Offerman’s Bill, a fan-favorite character from the game, and occur early in the season.

The Last of Us fans have recreated Joel and Ellie in many styles over the years. One fan has made Joel and Ellie plush dolls, another has sketched the two characters playing guitar together, and some artists have even painted older versions of Ellie. The love for Joel and Ellie has been made clear time and time again, and with Naughty Dog delivering so much content within The Last of Us universe, the developer has ensured they are never forgotten for long....

The Last of Us 2’s delay stung. With so little to be excited about during the pandemic, and a calendar that will likely see many other games pushed back before the year is done, The Last of Us 2’s coronavirus-fueled delay seemed like a final middle-finger to the millions of people around the world that can do nothing other than remain at home and hope for the best right now....

12:10 p.m. Players consider teams’ reluctance to sign free agents last offseason “a direct attack” on their rights, according to union head Tony Clark.

10 p.m. The first tight end drafted was taken by one of the greatest tight ends in NFL history. The Baltimore Ravens and general manager Ozzie Newsome took Hayden Hurst from South Carolina with the 25th pick in the first round.

11:40 p.m. Kyle Lowry’s 3-pointer at the buzzer was well off, and the Golden State Warriors rallied from a six-point deficit in the final three minutes to beat the Toronto Raptors 106-105 in Game 5 of the NBA Finals on Monday night.

One system stands out among the rest, though not for the reasons a person might think. Cooking is a vitally important part of challenging Breath of the Wild’s harder areas, as it can help Link navigate the environment better and survive longer. It’s also fun to experiment with, considering how many dishes can be prepared from the many ingredients Link finds. However, those different dishes are just fancy names and images pasted onto statistics, and it takes more than just a favorite recipe to get the most out of Hyrule’s food....

Speaking in the East Room of the White House in the early hours of Wednesday, President Donald Trump said that in his opinion he had won the election already—despite the ongoing counts across the nation. Vice President Mike Pence appeared to immediately temper these comments, suggesting they were on “the road to victory” but stopping short of outwardly declaring triumph. The comments from Trump sparked a backlash from opponents, with a swift rebuke from Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden’s campaign....

In the original Instagram post, the makeup artist was seen showing off a Matrix themed coat, seemingly gifted to her by director Lana Wachowski and producer James McTeigue for her work on the film. However, this gift also contained a thoughtful card, which thanked the artist for her work “in the making of Matrix Resurrections”.

Television isn’t new ground for Marvel, as they’ve had successful shows like Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Netflix Marvel shows (such as Daredevil and Jessica Jones) in the past. However, the Disney Plus shows are an attempt to merge the production levels of MCU movies with the medium of television, specifically to give the audience time to sit with and explore the characters in ways the movies simply don’t have time for....

The “language” is taking over the Unaited Esteits–that’s how it is spelled in Spanglish according to Ilan Stavans, its main advocate and author of the new book, “Spanglish: The Making of A New American Language” (288 pages. HarperCollins Rayo. $24.95). The book combines a serious academic essay–perhaps too serious–about the origins and importance of Spanglish, a compilation of more than 4,500 terms and a delightful translation of “Don Quixote’s” first chapter into Spanglish as proof that this mutt of a language exists....

Most people do not trust doctors—even before the pandemic—due to administrative and insurance-related factors. The quality of care in the U.S. health care system has radically deteriorated. When health care workers make it a point to note that their place of work is the “McDonald’s of Medicine” and when there’s a growing exodus to leave medicine as a whole, all resistance toward vaccinations should worry us. In a system that is already so weakened, there are simply too many negative factors to warrant optimism for the future of health care....
