    The Manhattan Project apparently.

    I'm not making it up and I'm also just as confused.

    That bit, about half way through TloU, and something horrible happens to a character you have grown attached to.
    And the worst thing is its prefaced, innocently with a conversation that sounds so innocuous beforehand, but a mere minute later becomes one of the saddest things I have ever come across in any media, a thing that will probably stay with me a long time.
    Bring a tear to a glass eye.

    Its so weird I was gonna post about TLOU in this as I'm playing through it again but I was gonna mention
    the ending. Was full on sure that we were letting Ellie go for a stage. Is it Tess you are on about?

    No, the part of game that knocked me for six, was when
    Sam having the chat with Ellie, about what happens to peoples souls when they are bitten, are they still in there or are they just gone, and she replies that, underneath it all, she thinks they are just gone, and with that she leaves Sam, who then, alone, examines a bite from an infected on his leg, then we see the next morning and the sight of Ellie finding Sam turned and what ensues from that moment. The horrible thing wasn't Sams execution at the hands of his older brother, and Henry's subsequent suicide, but the way the conversation the previous night took on a whole more desperate tone, a child looking to know if his soul would live on somehow, or would it be trapped inside a monster or be just gone, and getting no comfort from another child who had no idea, then Sam spending his last night as himself alone
    , it still makes me shiver and marks the point in the game, for me, when it went from being another survival horror, Resident Evil/Uncharted mashup to being something far more grown up, a game that asks a lot more of the audience than a tolerance for gore and jump scares.

    Also, the scenes with Ellie as the explorer in the snow were amazing, I could have played an entire game like that, reminded me of the film Hanna.

    While not the greatest twist, I didn't see the end of dead space coming.
