In this episode we talk about Season 1 and Season 2 of the HBO Show, The Last of Us. While the show isn't over, we talk a little about the game, but work to ensure that we do not spoil it as we have two guests on the show. My wife and Carter's Fiancée. We also talk about the Halo TV Show for a bit.

Summary
In this episode we talk about Season 1 and Season 2 of the HBO Show, The Last of Us. While the show isn't over, we talk a little about the game, but work to ensure that we do not spoil it as we have two guests on the show. My wife and Carter's Fiancée. We also talk about the Halo TV Show for a bit.
There will be another episode that talks about Season 3 and then the two games and how the story shifted after it is released.
I want to start off by apologizing for the echo. We had to add an extra mic, and it picked up a lot of the surrounding voices for a bit. Ok, most of it. We will work on that in the future.
