I'm so glad you picked up the parallel between Joel and Ellie's behavior: Ellie was basically raised by Joel so she has the same ways of dealing with hard stuff. Top-tier writing. 👌
never comment on any vids but I’ve been obsessed with ur tlou commentary. Literally makes my week. Keep it up you’re so fun to watch you’re going places for sure
You appreciating and praising the writing at the end >>>>> SO glad I stumbled across your channel, the absolute only downside is waiting between episodes 😂 can’t wait to watch the rest of your playthrough!
This flashback is much deeper than it seems. 14:34 panorama - moose and wolves, one wolf bites a moose on the leg - this is a reference to Joel's murder. 16:17 Joel covers himself with the letter "S" (liar) for a moment
definitely consider playing more stealthy, you’ll find you have a lot more resources if you get a few free knife kills in first 😭 love these videos though man, you’re appreciation of the story is amazing!!!
notice how she getting joels negative traits when dina clearly has something on her mind but ellie is just telling her to shut it away. its interesting
Joel was from Texas, so he knew about Houston - we already know the lengths he'd go to for her, the hard part would be going from Jackson to the Space Center without getting killed and then locating archives where recordings of Apollo missions would have been stored.
hey man found you recently, but i gotta say i love your vibe. Your commentary is everything and makes me feel like im living tlou experience for the first time again. Keep up the work
I mean tbh alot of the parts I don't find interesting or are super important to the story I might cut out for example in hillcrest it was just a lot of fighting which is great but I even as a viewer wouldn't wanna watch me kill npc’s for a whole hour straight 😭 I’ll let the next episode roll a bit longer just to see how y'all like it but that's the reason mainly for this episode
@@MassiveBunns yeah I 100% have i just wanna built this community up a bit more b4 I really commit streaming, plus id wanna turn the streams to vids and idk how to do that😭
Marathoning all your tlou videos bc I love your commentary- the amount of things you correctly predict about the characters, worldbuilding and storyline is unreal. Not many ppl play this game have the critical thinking to understand the message this story is telling. Everyone will have a different opinion of Joel, Ellie, and Abby, but it doesn’t matter bc they are fully fleshed out characters that make decisions for themselves, not the player. Joel was ALWAYS going to save Ellie, doesn’t matter if it’s wrong or selfish or sacrificing humanity, he’s always going to save his daughter. It’s the same reason he lies to her in part 1; he can’t bear to lose her.
Really enjoying seeing you play this game like a pro, cuz Hillcrest always murders me to death and I play on easy or normal cuz I'm old and suck at video games. Had I been at the resource amount you had I would never make it through that. Pretty awesome.
Dude I need to see your reactions to the notes, artifacts, and Ellie’s journal. So much of the storytelling is through the physical objects you find. They’re notes about Ellie’s ex girlfriend in the second flashback, Cat kisses her and Ellie freaks out that she’ll turn (that’s how she knows she can’t infect people, otherwise she’d never have had sex w Dina). Also LOVE the trading cards she collects, the superheroes are so cool and Ellie’s interests are fun to explore.
I really like this game. I was lowkey hating Ellie a bit while playing it because she became someone she’s not. Revenge did that to her. It’s like Joel’s song: ‘If I ever were to lose you, I surely lost myself.’
clicker can HEAR you, in this game the clicker is even more sensitive to sound, hence why you gotta walk slower behind them when you wanted to flank a clicker also, you kept getting surprised by how the ppl/infected came from bcs i noticed you rarely checked your 6 and only focused on your front. so yeah, maybe start doing that for the next gameplay if you dont wanna keep getting flanked
Ellie was jealous of Jessy? of course. why not? He is just a father, nothing else and Dina is her woman. Why wouldn't she be jealous? He is basically just a donor and Dina is focusing on him for some weird reason

Keep up the work
I hate that he keeps the flashlight on 24/7 😑😅 and when he's in the dark it's off 😢
Lmaoo my fault gang
Just a fun little visual around 16:20 , the closer Joel moves to Ellie he cuts of the 's', leaving the word Liar visible :^)
“…and I know Ellie stinks” lmao
You might be over-editing the videos, mate. Cuz 1hr for the Museum Flashback + ALL OF HILLCREST AND the Motel Flashback is kinda crazy lol

@SteeleStrife
Thought about streaming? That way you can get real time reactions from ur community, and then you get clips from it 🤙
@@MassiveBunns yeah I 100% have i just wanna built this community up a bit more b4 I really commit streaming, plus id wanna turn the streams to vids and idk how to do that😭
@@SteeleStrifeDon't worry, we would watch it even if the video was three hours long.
@@SteeleStrife that wld be very nice
Enamel pins as collectables is such a good idea, seeing them grow on your backpack as you find more wouldve been cool

Sitting on the edge of my seat every day eagerly waiting for the next SteeleStrife upload 😵💫
Every time i see this man post a tlou vid makes my dopamine go boom

I wasnt expecting this to come out this early bro lesgoooo
My fire alarm went off while watching this 🙏🏻
this run has been really fun to watch so far.
Bro play UNDERTALE sooner or later, trust me that game has some of the best storytelling and battles in gaming history my favorite along with Tlou ❤️
ellie has always been able to weave just like abby from the beginning of this game. the weave button doesnt just apply to abby
Yeah I’m digging your takes so far on this, I’ll be back lmao
Praise Lev. Lev supremacy. I left it here early 🙂↕️
Oh yeah, you know he’s gonna love Lev. Lev is the goat.
I really like this game. I was lowkey hating Ellie a bit while playing it because she became someone she’s not. Revenge did that to her. It’s like Joel’s song: ‘If I ever were to lose you, I surely lost myself.’
*_You gotta be prepared for the next gameplay episode…_*
boutta go into the future so these videos release faster🔥🔥
how's jesse supposed to drive steady in that situation broooo
Lmaoo I promise if I'm in the same situation I'm driving like I'm in a school zone
Do you have family members that also stream???
@@cmart5 lmaooo no?? Why??
I'm with you. The story is well done , not perfect but still I played this game until I wore out Ellie's shoes.
4:04😂❤
*Technically* there's only one dog in the game you have to kill...
clicker can HEAR you, in this game the clicker is even more sensitive to sound, hence why you gotta walk slower behind them when you wanted to flank a clicker

Did you get Ellie to play *Take Me On* to Dina? It's skipable if you don't explore
I loved that so much
I don't think he did since he was so happily "surprised" by how Ellie knew how to play before the Museum flashback.
@@keltavuokko yeah... thats what i was thinking
@keltavuokko I'm sure since it didn't make the final edit, he missed it...
Unfortunately I didn't, I explored a decent amount too which sucks but I watched it after so that was cool
If you dont play spiderman 1 im gonna touch u
*_Bro is getting freaky…_*
WE are gonna touch him
Ellie was jealous of Jessy? of course. why not? He is just a father, nothing else and Dina is her woman. Why wouldn't she be jealous? He is basically just a donor and Dina is focusing on him for some weird reason
*_W!_*
Use prone more often dog
Your situational awareness is ass. Do it again!
You'd do well to ignore the "everything I don't like is woke" crowed. You'll lose brain cells.
