Simpsons Fan Reveals Secret Joke In 31-Year-Old Episode
24.4.2023
Die-hard Simpsons fans have a near encyclopedic memory of every joke and reference throughout the animated series’ decades-long run. Except for one. A punchline in the third season was basically impossible to hear until someone recently used audio software to decode it over 30 years later.Read more
Here’s What Happens in Ash’s Final Pokémon Episode
24.3.2023
After announcing in December that it was coming, the Pokémon anime finally aired its last Ash and Pikachu episode in Japan. The episode won’t be airing in English for some time as the anime is tied to a Netflix deal that releases batches of episodes periodically, so if you’re curious to see...
Resident Evil 4's Official Little Anime Rules
20.3.2023
With Resident Evil 4's remake due out this week, Capcom’s marketing for the title is swinging into high gear, and while that would not normally move any of my needles, this little anime they had made for the game is just too good.Read more

13.3.2023
Last night’s The Last of Us finale on HBO Max ushered in the inevitable, the thing so many of us have feared for a decade: Major publications, the same ones who refer to video games as if they’re all still like Pac-Man, are weighing in on its controversial ending.Read more
The Last Of Us Episode 9 Recap: A Powerful, Haunting Finale
13.3.2023
Well, friends. We’ve come to the end of the road, at least for now. Episode nine of HBO’s The Last of Us is the season finale, bringing us to the end of the story told in the first game. Even the episode’s title, “Look for the Light,” neatly closes the loop opened by that of the first episode...
The Last Of Us Episode 8 Recap: Joel And Ellie's Most Desperate Hour
6.3.2023
With just one episode to go, we’re nearing the end of Joel and Ellie’s long journey together. This week’s entry, “When We Are in Need,” corresponds with the game’s winter section, though the HBO adaptation isn’t using the same seasonal structure of the game, and here in TV land, it’s been winter...
Former Half-Life Writer Now Regrets Releasing 'Epistle 3' Summary
2.3.2023
Six years ago, former Valve and Half-Life writer Marc Laidlaw posted a fictional letter on his website that sure read a lot like an outline for the never-likely-to-be-released Half-Life 2: Episode Three. Now, looking back years later, he regrets the decision, and says he was “deranged” when...
Ash And Pikachu’s Final Pokémon Episode Will Bring Back Gary (And Your Tears)
2.3.2023
The Pokémon anime is wrapping up Ash and Pikachu’s 25-year-long story with a series of farewell episodes, and in each of them, the duo has been revisiting old friends from across the Pokémon world. However, it sounds like the final episode before the show hands off the torch to new protagonists...
The Last Of Us Episode 7 Recap: Just Like Heaven
27.2.2023
The release of The Last of Us in 2013 already marked a remarkable shift in narrative tone for big-budget, so-called “AAA” games. However, for some of us, 2014’s DLC chapter, The Last of Us: Left Behind, proved to be even more remarkable. It took mechanics that, in the game proper, had been used...

The Last Of Us Show Made One Of The Best Game Moments Worse
27.2.2023
In retrospect, it was pretty clear HBO’s take on The Last of Us was going to do away with one of the source material’s best moments. Back in episode three, Joel and Ellie find a defunct Mortal Kombat II arcade cabinet, prompting the young girl to excitedly tell her grumpy guardian about Mileena’s...
The Last Of Us Fans Better Brace Themselves For The Left Behind Episode
21.2.2023
Every episode of HBO’s The Last of Us has had something emotionally devastating (some good and bad) to sit with, but episode seven, “Left Behind” is probably going to be one of the hardest to deal with of the show’s nine-episode run. That’s because, as the title suggests, it looks like we’re going...
The Last Of Us Episode 6 Recap: Ellie The Goodbye Girl
20.2.2023
Last week’s episode of The Last of Us was perhaps the show at its most bleak and devastating. Thankfully, episode six, entitled “Kin,” offers us a bit of a tonal reprieve, with enough scenes of hope and possibility for life in the post-cordyceps world to remind us that it is still possible to carve...
The Last Of Us Episode 5 Recap: The Saga Of Henry And Sam
11.2.2023
Episode five of HBO’s The Last of Us marks the midpoint of our nine-episode journey. That’s right, we’re halfway there, and Ellie and Joel are definitely living on a prayer. Look, I’m sorry for the bad Bon Jovi reference but man, this episode is The Last of Us at its most relentlessly bleak....
HBO’s The Last Of Us Show Just Nailed One Of The Game’s Best Moments
11.2.2023
It seems I was too quick to judge HBO’s The Last of Us. While the first four episodes certainly kept my attention as well-written and delightfully-shot prestige television, I had been a little let down as the adaptive process of turning the game into a show has, so far, left out the recreation...
What Was That Giant Infected In The Last Of Us Episode 5?
11.2.2023
If you just finished watching episode five of HBO’s The Last of Us, you might be wondering just what that giant infected was that the show made a big deal about but didn’t actually bother to explain. Well friends, what you saw is colloquially called a bloater by characters like Joel and Ellie,...
The Last Of Us Episode 4 Recap: A Return To The Familiar
6.2.2023
After last week’s knockout episode of HBO’s The Last of Us boldly adapted the game’s source material into something wholly new and remarkable, this week’s episode returns to more conventional adaptation, giving viewers a number of moments lifted directly from the game, though the action has been...
