Can't wait.

Saw an ad going up for the show this afternoon downtown Toronto. Excited for a high quality show on what’s probably my fave game story. Must feel like how GoT readers must’ve felt before the premiere.

 

[DenchDeckard]

Can't ducking wait! Hyped to finish work tomorrow and watch.

It's gonna be a good one, I can feel it. Just wish I could hold out to binge it but there's no way I can wait that long.

 

[dorkimoe]

This is going to be fucking awesome and I can't wait. I really dont give 2 shits if there are difference between the game and show. (I know some will cry)

 

[RJMacready73]

Big banner up in Dublin according to the wife, hopefully this is the next big thing but how in the fuck are they going to avoid the GOT problem with the show outstripping the games...

 

[Jaybe]

Just bought a sub to Crave for this and to catch up on some HBO. Glad all the episodes will be released within two months.

I mean they'll probably plan 3 seasons based on 3 games. I don't think anyone expects this show is going to go for 8 years.

Money makes anything happen..

 

[kyliethicc]

is this supposed to be an OT for all of season 1 or just episode 1?

way the title says part 1 could mean either one

btw, endure & survive seems to be the name of episode 5

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Let's go you son of bitches

 

[EverydayBeast]

Last of Us the game was unbelievable, I got to give this a view.

 

[kyliethicc]

I mean they'll probably plan 3 seasons based on 3 games. I don't think anyone expects this show is going to go for 8 years.

Maizin says Part 2 will require more than 1 season to adapt.

After that, it will simply end unless/until a Part 3 game releases.

They said they will only adapt a Part 3 if the game has already shipped.

3rd game won’t be out by season 3.
They should just make it a one season limited series. HBO don’t need more Westworld S2 disasters.

People keep anticipating that season 2 comes out next year. That probably won't be the case.

You're not wrong, but most HBO shows don't really go that long.

Maizin says Part 2 will require more than 1 season to adapt.

After that, it will simply end unless/until a Part 3 game releases.

They said they will only adapt a Part 3 if the game has already shipped.

Where did he say that?

 

[SuperBabyMethod]

Might actually subscribe to HBO just to watch this.

 

[Kabelly]

Need more Anna Torv in my life. Mindhunter being cancelled (les be real) made me sad cuz of that.

 

[ManaByte]

It’s on the Xbox dash.

 

[Katajx]

I wasn’t excited about this, but since all I saw were promo stills I’m gonna give it a shot.

 

[VN1X]

Wrong forum?

 

[Pelta88]

When you live in the UK and can't watch because the premiere airs too late in the morning. But you've been waiting for the greatness since 2013

Raisin over chocolate chip, lady deserves what’s coming to her

Shaun of the Dead vibes with this build up

 

[BadBurger]

OMG this banter is so damned good

 

[Ghost of Caelid]

Watching now...writing seems on point so far...love that they are expanding more on the pre codecype world. Thandie Newtons daughter is her twin.

 

[reinking]

Damn good so far. Very much going along with the game. Looking at a few comments I might be a tiny bit ahead of some. That is the thing about streaming. Never exactly the same time as the live feed.

I miss when shows aired at a specific time and we all would watch on twitter at once. Good times.

 

[BadBurger]

Holy crap this is insane in live action

 

[remember_spinal]

 

[ManaByte]

They nailed it.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

This shit's really good so far. Damn.

 

[aclar00]

They could get 5 or 6....theres lots of story to tell after 1 finished but before 2 started.

 

[Ghost of Caelid]

Pedro Pascal might be a better actor than Troy Baker /s...but his delivery is superb.

 

[Chiggs]

Too many cut scenes.

 

[Madflavor]

Wife fell asleep halfway through (she's just super tired), but we got passed the prologue. Pretty good so far.

 

[Ghost of Caelid]

"That" scene is even more devastating in live action...sheesh.

 

[Joshmyersbv]

Fuck I was hoping this would fucking suck but it doesn't. Damn
