07/09/2013 - The Last of Us Multiplayer & One Piece 609

Well it's almost over, I'm now on Week 12, Day 2 of my Hunter journey and I actually had fun playing today. I'm still slightly irritated by the facemelting ability of the Flamethrower, but so few people check the forums for updates that not many people are using it.

I actually adjusted my main loadout slightly as well. By switching the Silenced SAR to the standard one and setting the Shotgun as a purchasable weapon, my scores have improved dramatically and I actually have a use for the eight 'cheaper purchased weapon' boosters that I have accumulated over the past few weeks.

As I stated in the first paragraph, today was my first enjoyable experience on this multiplayer in the last week or so. There were a few moments that got me midly annoyed. All of those moments involved either rushers, poorly matchmade teams or ludicrous amounts of molotovs and nail bombs flying through the air.

If you've ever paid The Last of Us forums a visit (and you should, they're hilarious), you will have noticed that pretty much one in five posts consists entirely of bitching about how overpowered Molotovs with Explosive Expert 2 are. Don't get me wrong, the nerf on the aforementioned perk has reduced them slightly, but it still covers an obtuse area when thrown.

Also, lag makes players pixel incarnations of God. I was involved in a 1v1 on Bill's Town in the early afternoon and ended up being smokebombed, luckily I was quite far away from the player who threw it, so I recovered and fired 4 point-blank shotgun shells in to his chest, only to be stabbed in the front and lose the game. Now please, my dear readers, if you can find evidence of a man surviving even two shotgun shells to the chest, let me know. For you One Piece fans, Devil Fruit users don't count! ;)


Warning: Spoilers ahead!

The other part of today was taken up watching One Piece (and fixing a bathroom faucet after it blew up in my face, but we'll gloss over that). Episode 609 seemed to flow incredibly slowly. It was a bit strange seeing Law get his heart crushed (literally, not metaphorically) but we barely saw Luffy fight at all. The next episode looks like it will be good though, with the upcoming fight between Smoker and Vergo! I'm looking forward to the Zoro vs. Monet scene as well, but I believe that will air in episode 612, not 610.

Overall, not a bad episode, but it could have been better. Yibis fansubs always make the series more enjoyable.

That's all for today! There be as many as three posts tomorrow so look forward to that! Goodnight!
