The Big Pinecast

We discuss the Last of Us and discuss why it took so long to finally get a good TV show (or movie) based on a video game. Perhaps this is the start of something new? Also, we judge Cadel's spending habits and make our poor editor put in too much work bleeping things out.   The following music was used for this media project: Music: Happy Calm Intro 44 by TaigaSoundProd Free download: https://filmmusic.io/song/10013-happy...License (CC BY 4.0): https://filmmusic.io/standard-license

We go over recent Halo news, The Last of Us on HBO (mild spoilers ahead until 11 minutes) and then run through why LAN parties are such an integral, and positive, part of gaming culture.

We follow up the best games of last year with what (we hope) are the best games of this one. As it turns subdivisions of episodes do not exist, ignore the bits about this being part two.

We discuss Battlefield 6 rumors, the new Resident Evil game, and how soundtracks change how we experience video games.

Topics:  Creation of Lucasarts Games  State of COD as a franchise  Halo - the only competitor to COD?

Valorant is a great game, but does it distingush itself strongly enough not to get lost in the flood of competitive shooters?

We go over the agents and prattle about xBox more than makes sense.
