This month I'll be covering The Last of Us, both part 1 and 2. Among other things, we're going to be drawing some parallels with Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment, discuss the controversial story structure of Part 2, and explore the potential for and (current) limitations of video games as high art. For those who are not familiar with the games; I will fully present (i.e. spoil) the main story beats to make sure it is accessible to all. And for those who are not really interested in video games at all, the focus will ultimately be on the story and on storytelling in general, and as far as stories go; The Last of Us is definitely one that's worth discussing :)

I've been hoping you'd do these games for a while now and I cannot wait to see your take on them. You always give me a whole new perspective on stories I already love.

Awesome, now I have a reason to replay The Last of Us. But I have a question, how do you choose the topics that you examine?

Like Stories of Old

It's pretty random really, I usually have a couple of ideas in my head and go with whatever grabs me the most or seems most feasible to produce in the time I have for it
