Bill And Frank Turn Up In The Last Of Us Episode 3 Trailer

The producer behind such stunning successes on the small screen as Game of Thrones and The Sopranos, HBO, recently released a preview trailer for Episode 3 of its ongoing television adaptation of the landmark video Game The Last of Us. The teaser for this upcoming episode introduces two new characters, Bill and Frank, who are survivalists living entirely alone within their isolated town in the post-pandemic world.

Bill is played by Nick Offerman, mostly known for his role as Ron Swanson in Parks and Recreation. Frank on the other hand is played by Murray Bartlett from the hit television series The White Lotus. The two characters basically team up to try and make it through the ongoing outbreak of the Cordyceps virus.

Based on the eponymous PlayStation Games by developer Naughty Dog, The Last of Us follows Pedro Pascal as a smuggler named Joel and Bella Ramsey as the character Ellie, a 14 year old refugee who could very well hold the key to finding a cure for the deadly disease. The Last of Us was produced and written by Craig Mazin, primarily known for having worked on the series Chernobyl. President at Naughty Dog Neil Druckmann who provided both writing and direction for the Game series was involved in the process of production as well, taking on the role of executive producer. The television adaptation covers the events of the Game and its expansion, Left Behind.

The Last of Us premiered earlier this month and has received positive reviews from both critics and viewers. The most recent episode, Infected, came out on January 22, 2023. Episode 3 is going to be released on January 29.

The series appears to have provided a substantial boost for sales of The Last of Us Part 1, at least according to the latest UK Boxed Charts to be released. The recent premiere of the eponymous television series appears to be responsible for this sudden spike, causing the figures to rise by no less than 238 percent since last week.

HBO's The Last Of Us is well and truly off and running now, its second episode airing on Sunday night.

MTG's Phyrexia: All Will Be One Card Lets You Kill Your Opponent In Just Two Turns

Magic: The Gathering’s next set, Phyrexia: All Will Be One, is currently being previewed. While we’ve seen all kinds of big, splashy cards, the one that’s given players the fear is, of all things, a tiny little Goblin Warrior. With just three cards and two lands, Cacophony Scamp can wipe an opponent out as early as turn two. Even more scarily, this combo works in both Modern and Pioneer, where it could give birth to a new take on the deck known as Hammer Time. RELATED: Magic: The Gathering – Phyrexia: All Will Be One Previews As noted on Reddit, Cacophony Scamp is an unassuming 1/1 Goblin Warrior costing just one red mana. It doesn’t have haste, but it does have two big upsides: it can sacrifice itself once it’s dealt combat damage, and when it dies, it deals damage equal to its power to any other target.

Fired WoW Lead Says Blizzard Is Being "Torn Apart" By Bosses

A fired World of Warcraft lead engineer has spoken out after news of his termination was leaked last night. According to both the initial report and his own testimony, Brian Birmingham was fired after he failed to meet a quota on negative employee evaluations, with bosses requiring him to mark down five percent of the coworkers he assessed.
