re: The Last of Us S1 EP3 Thread - “Long Long Time” - NO GAMER SPOILERS

I laughed a bit at that as well. But I give them credit for at least trying to address those kinds of details - also when Bill is at Home Depot, the power goes out, and he says “huh, that was quick.”

That said, I do think it’s possible that simply opening a valve could provide them with gas for a long time if he’s only using it to cook (e.g. if he’s using a gasoline or diesel generator). You could probably live off of the residual pipeline pressure for a fair amount of time. I don’t know about 20 years, though.

Based on how much prepping he did, I'd assume he already had gas stored and was just setting up to use whatever other resources he could for as long as possible before eating into his stores.

That's all I ask with shite like that. I remember an episode one time of TWD where the wasting of ammo was so blatant I posted in the thread that if they'd only have thrown in a single line of dialogue about how "We need to make more rounds.." or something like that, it would've made it make much more sense (and I was eventually relieved to see them address that with Eugene later).

Do I think he could've just coasted for two decades siphoning gas (liquid and gaseous)? Nah. But at least they addressed it and tried to give an explanation for it. Because had they not, we'd all be sitting here blasting it for how unrealistic it is that he still has fuel.

And I do agree that the worst part of the episode was raiding of the town scene, and that should've been the most interesting.

Are we not allowed to discuss it once we are totally past any spoilers?

i would have taken an 80 minute episode of bill setting up his fortress and supplies and it would have been a better episode in my view

Those weren't spoilers.

But he is right. That shite was cringe AF and not necessary at all. I wouldn't mind if they left out all sex in the show - especially that. It was disgusting.

It’s Dick in arse shite shoving sodomy.

Holy shite

Touche.

I am so sorry that shirtless men disgust you so much. You must come home with PTSD after an afternoon at the beach or the pool.

Maybe I just somehow watched a censored version of the episode. I missed all the booty sex and flopping dicks that a few posters keep bringing up.

His point makes sense. How is it still a "spoiler," after it has already happened in the show? Illogical.

I think the general idea is that this thread is for no game talk at all, only show talk.

Not "differences between the show and game" or anything having to do with the game.

Because this show is based on a widely-consumed source material, it will go the same route as things like TWD and GoT did, where the "readers/players" are discussing the show on a different plane than those who have not consumed the materials. And you'll have game players in here "guiding" the rest of us just like the fricking a-hole readers did with GoT.

People literally fall into two categories: ones that have played the game and are familiar with the source materials, and ones who have not. Seems simple enough to post in whichever thread you fall into, but I am in the minority with that line of thinking.

And for the record, I'm not saying any gamer has spoiled anything big in here yet. But it's almost inevitable when you have the foresight of the source material. It won't be long before people are "predicting" huge plot points, for example. Personally, I don't need someone in here like fricking OML used to do in non-reader GoT thread, where he'd try to hype us up for big plot events and guide us through them.

Not to mention the obvious of: if this isn't the last we've seen of Bill and Frank (i.e. flashbacks in future episodes), then discussing what "already happened" in the game could potentially ruin something in the future as well.

That's just my $0.02 though.

We also don't know what all he obtained by bartering with Tess/Joel (which they obviously did after their initial lunch meeting in 2007).

Might've been much easier to come by in the earlier years through abandoned houses, cars, other stations in the proximity, etc. When Joel was making the sell to barter, he had a lot of access to things he doesn't have now.

I just assumed what he didn't have to utilize on the property he bartered for with them over the years. And developed that relationship with them.
