The Tyranny of Thumbs

Golf With Your Friends (And the Great Exhale)

 This week for the mainline podcast we take a break and go golfing. Feeling awfully presidential! Is that offensive now? Sorry, I thought that was just what presidents do. Look, I've never golfed ok. I don't know what I'm talking about. And neither do we really... on this week's episode of Tyranny of Thumbs.

Last of Us (Ep. 2)

It's the night before Last of Us: Part II and all through the internet, spoilers are lurking...
I swear they have been flying around for a full week before release... What is this? Stop. No spoilers for Part II here! We have all successfully hidden from the rest of the world so we can finish up our discussion of Last of Us (and the Left Behind DLC) and give our no-spoilers thoughts on what might just be to come on release day. Boy... the excitement is palpable.
Ep. 1 - Start -> End of The Suburbs (or the start of the Tommy's Dam)
Ep. 2 - Finish the game, then Left Behind DLC

Last of Us (Ep. 1)

In preparation for the Last of Us II's launch, we decided it was about time to play Last of Us again. Isn't that what everyone is doing?
Join Zoë, McCoy, Elena, James, and special guest Claire (Zoë's sister and our resident Last of Us expert) as we sit down and talk about the original Last of Us. Does it hold up? I would say let's find out but...
 
... it does. Sorry.

Mass Effect 2 (Ep. 3)

Mass Effect 2 Episode Breakdown
 
Act 1 (Ep. 1)
Prologue through Horizon (DLC: Overlord, Firewalker, Normandy Crash Site) We're at war. No one wants to admit it but yumanity is under attack. Surround yourself with the brightest, the toughest, the deadliest allies you can find. It's not a plan. . . but it's a perfect plan. You'll get dossiers on the best of them. Assemble your team of Archangel, the Convict, the Professor and the Warlord, in any order. The Master Thief and the Veteran are available if you have their DLC.
Act 2 (Ep. 2)
Assemble a Team Part 2 up to the Omega 4 Relay (DLC: Arrival, Lair of the Shadow Broker) Your team will have to be strong, their resolve unquestionable. Strengthen your crew by tracking down the remaining dossiers.
(Warning: Completing the Reaper IFF mission will start a mission countdown and if you delay after this point there will be consequences. Before heading off to Mnemosyne will be a good time to do your side quests and DLC missions. If not, DLC can still be done after the final mission.)
Act 3 (Ep. 3)
Pass through the Omega 4 Relay Take the fight to the Collectors in person and kick them right in the daddy bags. You'll have to give everything, even if that means your lives.
