Sacred Symbols, Episode 354 | You Have No Idea What Loss Is
🕑 Added 2025-04-11 16:00:21 +0000 UTCIf something never goes away, you're never able to miss it. That's why there's an incredible amount of cynicism surrounding The Last of Us Complete, yet another re-release of the 2013 original and its 2020 sequel, a package that combines both games into something more accessible and affordable for PlayStation 5 owners. Naturally, this is heavily tied into the return of The Last of Us on HBO, and clearly this sort of thing isn't really aimed at us at all. In fact, it's likely very smart business. But that doesn't mean we're longing for something else. Anything else, really. For once. Plus: PS+ price increases slam headlong into Latin America, Portal gets some key UI and UX updates catered toward streaming users, PlayStation's concert series seemingly suffers poor ticket sales, and more. Then: Listener inquries! Should console manufacturers limit hardware sales to their most hardcore audience first? Considering the length of both Uncharted 4 and TLoU2, should be expect Intergalactic to be a very long game? Is the "games are too expensive" argument ultimately a dead end? Can Colin mystify his sons with the '90s tech magic of WYSIWYG?

"old man, he's taking a look at it life, he's a lot like Gustav was?" Hansen with the Neil Young reference?

Almost beat Ragnarok while streaming. How the cheapest fiber tier from cable service and had no problems ever. No latency, no graphic downgrades or tearing or anything. Streaming quality probably depends on location.

“Keep up the good work and don’t forget to smoke weed every day” -you don’t have to remind me. It’s the subtle bits that get me😂

I read all the comments to see if someone was as upset as I was that none of them appear to believe that PlayStation games having amazing scores?! It appears no one was, which I feel is a shame. I think a games score is very important and believe that GoW, TLOU, HZD, and etc have amazing scores. But then again I could just be one of the niche nerds that enjoys a good score, lol. I did go see Hans Zimmerman back in February and it might be my favorite concert experience

Will Colin glaze and fondle the Last of us 2's balls? Does a bear shit in the woods?

Colin, I recommend getting checked by a chiropractor. Had my hip realigned yesterday and it feels heavenly.

Dustin has the same template as Vance, he looks like he could be a relative.

With the release of the dual pack of the Last of Us, I can hear the voice of Tug Speedman from Tropic Thunder in my head saying here we go again…. again…
