Regarding your beloved Toyota. I would be happy to help try to fix the problem with you. DM me. But the dust cover is likely the problem regardless of your attempts, they can scrap even when it’s been pulled far back. Or it’s a brake/rotor/caliper issue.
In the game the hunters revolted because Fedra kept cutting rations. When they revolted and won they lost the wider resources that Fedra had (who was having problems getting food)so the supply sittiation probably got worse likely leading to them becoming a raiding economy.
I'm from Baltimore and trust me. We died years ago. 13 year olds raped and killed my neighbors 14 year old g daughter and burned the house down. I saw a teen gets shot in the face for his bike and have seen dead bodies in the streets multiple times. The apocalypse has nothing on regular Baltimore.
The stacking rocks is called a cairn, and it's usually a memorial or trail marker from my understanding. So... He was building a resting place for Tess.
It's also a relatively common activity for hikers in the area (southern alberta/eastern bc) to go hang out alone by a river, stack rocks, and relax so I wouldn't be surprised if during filming they saw it happening and thought it would be a good shot to include.
So I was living in Eugene, OR, at the beginning of the pandemic, and one of the big concerns the city had was what to do about the homeless population because many times large groups could form in different areas. So they come up with the great idea to try to get all of the homeless into the fair grounds. So basically, taking some very vulnerable people and sticking everyone in one area rather than leaving small groups and individuals alone. It didn't ultimately pan out, but let's just say that I 100% buy that the government would try to bring everyone from outlying towns into cities during an infectious outbreak
Sometimes I think the government just wants to kill them, everything they do never benefits the homeless, or anyone for that matter. Yet they keep doing the same shit over and over, for once I’d like them to try something new and see if it works, but nope, won’t happen.
it’s true however there’s not much you can do without making some “creative” liberties in these shows when it comes to things as complex as gas post world ending 😂😭
@@CarneDeBlaQ Depends on what car you use the fuel with, I guess. Some cars - particularly older ones - are much more sturdy than newer models. My dads old car was running perfectly fine, even when we mixed a few liters of cooking oil into the diesel fuel due to high gas prices. His new car would probably break down completely if we even poured just half a liter of cooking oil into the tank. Still, 5 years and 20 years is a huge difference, so the fuel in The Last Of Us definitely would have been degraded to the point of being completely useless.
@Luzilyo Stormchild diesel vehicles are completely different. And I'd be very surprised if a modern diesel didn't also run happily on cooking oil. Researching gasoline, it looks like the main cause of spoilage is oxidization. Which requires exposure to oxygen. Gas tanks are, mostly, well sealed. They have to be, as required by emissions laws. The evaporated fuel is vented back into the engine to be burned. Seems like a well sealed vessel could slow down or stop the spoilage. I'm not saying it will last 20 years but at the least it looks like gas life is more circumstantial and less a hard rule of 6months to a year.
The cairn raising is a very old tradition in many cultures. It helps the dead spirits find their way to the underworld. It can also be just a form of memorial, a shrine, whether or not we think of it that way.
The towers of rocks are usually trail markers or done as a meditation. I suspect Joel does it as a meditative act to keep himself sane in this post-apocalyptic world.
I also though Bill's firing position was very dumb and unnecessarily dangerous, but then I realized. Bill was drawing the fire to himself, keeping them from shooting the house and risking getting Frank shot and hurt. That's love right there. Ready to die if it means you keep the ones you care about safe for a moment more.
yeah, a lot of people are talking about how it's dumb writing - but the episode is all about how love can skew your priorities. if Bill never met Frank, he'd be safer - but he'd be the bitter old bastard we met in the game. in the show, he cares so much about Frank that, through either deliberately making himself a target to draw fire or just being so scared of losing Frank, he does something stupid. we all know what becomes of Joel later in the story when he starts to care. keep that in mind...
Dude stop. It was dumb writing. Bill had plenty of cars he could have been hiding behind and still draw fire from the house. What would happen to Frank if bill was gunned down in the street?
21:02 Yeah Ellie's muzzle discipline is crap, but Joel at least had the sense to physically unload the gun, magazine and chamber, so it became less of an issue. One of those things you have to do when time is of the essence.
Seems like it was a trick of the camera when it was facing Joel, there’s a couple quick cuts where you can see it’s pointing far off the left of his shoulder
I think we've got to remember that Joel was at best a casual gun owner before the outbreak. In the game he has an unloaded wheelgun in a lockbox, in the show he's never seen with a gun at all in 2003. He's a competent shooter, Tommy most definitely taught him some stuff, but he has no professional background. Shit hit the fan wayyyy back in early GWoT before a lot of tactical coolguy culture seeped into the general cultural consciousness. Shit like muzzle orientation and trigger discipline, even if they're part of the big 4 safety rules, weren't really something most people understood because it wasn't what they saw in movies or TV. And folks have been smoking each other longgggg before anybody gave a damn about trigger discipline.
All this is to say the poor gun handling definitely activated my almonds but Joel handling guns like Ranger Rick would be pretty unrealistic in the setting!
In the show Joel says that both he and Tommy joined the Army before Desert Storm, plus the bumper sticker on his truck in ep1 that says "Veteran of Desert Storm". Also, they are from Texas. Of course they knew how to use guns.
@@flyboymk1 pretty sure that was just Tommy, and it was Tommy's truck. Also only people that never lived in Austin seem to think everyone in Texas was born with a gun and an NRA membership in hand LOL. especially in the cities lots of folks don't know their way around a gun, even before the big tech boom.
As I watched episode 3 I was honestly waiting for the other shoe to drop between Bill and Frank over the years. Frickin happy they didn't do that! Such an amazing episode.
But, it doesn't give you that 'this is what happens to you when you cut yourself off' lesson that the game does. There's no 'Joel has to choose between Ellie and this'.
My dad is very much like Bill, and my stepmom has MS. They've been together decades and both have talked before about going out together like this when it gets toomuch, so episode 3 just destroyed me emotionally.
my mum had MS but she died of a heart attack before she deteriorated much, I'm not sure whether I should be grateful for that given how bad it gets in those that deteriorate
Your brake pads might just be rubbing on the rotors causing the metallic sound. If you take them out you can clean the guides and slightly put some type of grease so the pads are able to move freely without any issues.
@@ethomps12 this is true. Idk Roanokes driving process but I know if a vehicle sits for a bit these guides do get rusty and cause them to get stuck. I've done so many pad replacements on good pads that just needed the guides cleaned up and grease up a bit with anti rust stuff 😅
But hey since there's 2 car men here. I can get an opinions without being called sexist. So, Kathleen am I alone in thinking wtf. How does a elementary school teacher (50 some years old female overweight and can't beat a 15 year old boy in a fight) take over. There's a bunch of men (like her 2nd in charge guy) and it's the apocalypse, kill or be killed and that's who's picked? She can't even run!! I really hate how I keep seeing this trend. It's not sexist it realistic!
@@dont-touch-mepg1392because of her brother, dude. Leadership isn’t about physical prowess, it’s more complex than that, unless you live in a ape like society where strength is all that matters, which is dumb.
Are Bloaters just 99% fungal material at that point in the infection? So it's not like bullets, organ damage, bleeding out w.e will ever hurt them like a normal infected. Like a real mushroom, a colony of fungal cells that are independent but working in unison without discernible organs to operate, as per that copy-pasta: "you can not kill me in any way that matters".
There's no indication they are anything more than big people with a lot of layers of extra fungal mass layered over them. They're not fungus men, they have muscles and organs and blood and need to eat and breathe still.
My mother got diagnosed with MS about a decade ago. My sister got diagnosed three years ago. I totally agree with your take on Frank's ailment, cause he showed the alot of the same symptoms that my mother currently has... Shit's rough and the pills. Good God the pills
That shit's rough, and the pills, but also the regularly occurring and predictable chorus of assholes doubting the disability if you're not visibly crippled.
@@giorosiles2220 you know when people have a stroke and struggle with vision, balance and or muscle control? MS is that but in slow motion but it can also affect mood by causing anxiety and depression
I'm really enjoying the changes the series is making from the game. Giving the background for Bill and frank instead of following the games route really fits the medium
I hope they directly adapt TLOU part 2, So I can soak in the Online discourse, I think Druckmann is Ballsy enough to go through with it, God Save whoever has the misfortune to play Abby though.
@@kellywilson137 TLOU2 is hot garbage and should never be adapted. Wanting it to be adapted just for the sake of "soaking in online discourse" is an immense waste of people's time and money.
I've had MS for nearly 30 years. I'll be 50 next month and, thankfully, have very little disability from it. The initial episode was optical neuritis which led to scar tissue on the optic nerve, causing loss of vision in the centre field of my left eye. I also have bouts of spasticity if I strain too much e.g. if I reach to scratch my back, my arm muscles will continue stretching and won't stop until I physically force them to by moving them in the opposite direction. It's really weird. Anyway, other than that, no one would know I have it (and sometimes I forget lol). I don't know how long ago you were dx, but I wanted you to know that it's not automatically the worst case scenario as the Drs suggested to me. ❤️
@@CornOfTheBreads All cases are different, this disease is a real roll of the dice. Some get lucky like nollypolly, others not so much. I was diagnosed back in 2016, with a whole host of weird things that I had been ignoring such as multicoloured vision in my left eye (like everything was covered in oil), a sun burn type feeling all over half of my body, and finally my left leg that decided it didn't want to work + kept moving itself without me feeling it move. As of today, my MRIs are stable, I took a lot of damage early doors but after treatment the disease's visual progress has been slowed. That said, as the years have gone by, it has progressed inch by inch. Bladder and bowel troubles, being useless trying to do anything above head height (such as screwing in a lightbulb), a pronounced limp that appears when I start doing any physical activity, and I have developed a sort of fatalistic view that in another ten years I may well be in trouble. I'm not physically degraded, I still do everything as I always have, and as far as the state is concerned I wouldn't be considered disabled, but the small annoyances are mounting and are gradually making their mark. For example, if I have to drive anywhere more than half an hour away, I wont drink for hours before I get into the car, and I'll pop a couple of anti-diarhea pills just to ensure nothing hilarious happens - I've had many close calls, and some incidents. Its a disease that you will probably have found is easy to ignore, and like nollypolly says, you will forget you have it sometimes. And then one day you'll wake up in a puddle of your own urine and spend the morning thinking about Frank. Happy trails!
"Cairns" - a rock raise/pile used by most notably the Vikings, Cairns in Scottish culture to mark a purpose or memorial. Most commonly used and known as Grave markers, but can be used for many other reasons and situations.
My Best friend has a spine issue that is making him lose mobility. It's degrading and eventually he was told his lungs would stop working as his spine just stops sending signals. Bleak as hell but it's made him spend his time wiser and we have had some of the best times of our lives together! Hopefully there will be a fix for this in the near future so he doesn't have to "Leave the Server" early.
My only problem with episode 3 is Bill not having body armor, dude is a self admitted preper and has everything else but that; I guess it kind of caught him off guard; but it still seems odd. I assume his generator is like mine and can run on gas or propane. Episode 3 is one of the best damn episodes of television I've ever seen. They attack Elle and Joel because they think they're the people they've been fighting, and they don't have time to ask questions. They are not filler episodes, three is world building and character development as well as establishing where Joel gets the car from, and four is also world building and character development and the plot moving forward. Filler is episodes that contribute absolutely nothing and can be completely skipped without missing anything. Frank reminded me a lot of my step mom who had MS so I just assumed that's what it is.
I was thinking about that too like he had to have at least a vest and helmet somewhere. I am also confused how he had a scanner if Fedra never came up there. Also I think he should have made a second like wall with the cars of the neighborhood but that was just my thinking.
@@mgeiger2341 Easier than the guns, by a long shot. in '03 the Brady bill was still in effect, and the feds had only recently (9/11) stopped keeping watch on militia/sovereign citizen types and illicit gun trades. Meanwhile, you COULD already find PASGT vests in well-stocked military surplus stores. Keyword could, because they usually had waitlists and would run out day of supply. Same for basically any kind of NBC gear, rations, water purification supply, and other survival gear. People got bonkers after 9/11.
The infected's eyes followed Ellie's blade as she moved it side by side. Was there a human part still left in him that he was trying to hint at what she should do and that is gameend him?
The show creators suggested not. Chris said during the episode 5 podcast that during the initial period after infection it'll be like a really bad trip for the person, where they'll see themselves doing these things but won't be able to stop. Which suggests after the initial infection period, i.e. the runner phase, enough of their brain is destroyed by the fungus that the person inside them is dead.
Also great detail, Bill made the same meal (paired with the same wine) that he made the first time he met Frank. One of the greatest love stories ever, I'm tearing up just seeing the recap
Yea but it literally did nothing. I've never seen a show do that. Really weird and really pointless. Bill and Frank did for the plot and would have loved to have em stick around. Or why not add 30 mins and make a movie about em? I would watch or their own show. Maybe they'll get it. Was it for awards? I think so. Because there is no other reasons. I can say it was the best gay couple I've ever seen wrote and enjoyed it. There might be better gay characters in books I've read but not shows or movies. I mean maybe if the next episode would have had a BUNCH of action or story but it really didn't. Making it even odder. I don't no, I guess I'm just confused about it. I kept thinking one would survive because of all the development and time they were getting and then it was like, "they're dead now move on".
@@dont-touch-mepg1392 The thing that most people who hate on EP3 seem to miss is that it's completely canon. The Last Of Us is a story about human survival. That's always what the games have always been about. How humans adapt, cope, survive, and die in the apocalypse. Hence the name. It's not "The Slaying Of Zombies" or "Big Bang Boom Zombie Killer Squad". It's about those of us who are left. So given another shot at expanding the story he wrote, Neil Druckmann wrote another tale about human survival, but it just so happened to be an expanded story around characters that he himself said he wished he could have gone into more detail with in TLOU1. This was his shot to tell that story in full. But instead of a messy breakup, he said "fuck it, what if two people had a happy, healthy relationship/life in the end of the world? What would that even look like, while the rest of the world is barely struggling to survive?" and in the end, they died together peacefully instead of one hanging himself and the other living alone and going nuts. EP3 is one of the most "The Last Of Us"-style stories there is. There was plenty of action, tension, drama, and tragedy. It was perfect imo. It also did give us more backstory for Tess and Joel, moved the plot along with the car battery, supplies, and guns, and gave Ellie and Joel new perspective and understanding in their relationship. Was it a lot of just Bill and Frank? Yes. But Joel and/or Ellie still took up 30% of the screen time in the episode. Plenty else happened, but people seem to forget that. Shame some people can't just see good storytelling and universe-building and enjoy it for what it is. Nobody ever said it would be a 1:1 recreation of the game. If you don't like what they're doing with it, play the game. But I trust the guy who created the game to tell the story how he wants to. It's his story after all.
@@YungStinkyWinky I think it's just a lack of emotional maturity. I've seen too much of it in a certain subset of capital G Gamer types, and it results in endless bitching and whining on a weekly basis about something new. Someone is too black, or too gay, or too female, or not female enough, or not manly enough, on and on and on. Similarly, I think that's at the core of the hatred of the second game. I have yet to hear a single valid criticism of it, it's always something arbitrary, factually inaccurate, misunderstood, or people just conflating "I didn't like it" with "it's objectively bad." Like, how many years of the Walking Dead (and Telltale Games, especially!) do we need before people understand that important, main characters die in an apocalypse situation? And they're surprised Joel died? And the whole "this or that didn't move the story forward" thing makes no sense whatsoever unless someone is not understanding anything about the point of the games and show.
It sounded like an ongoing factional war between 2 groups after the gave fedra the finger. Henry shot lead ladies bro and in her attempts to rationalize everything assumes the outsiders were brought in by henry In the game however it is simply a raider group, the city revolted and anyone who didnt side with them ran, fought the new raider group, and anyone foolish enough to get caught in their traps were robbed, killed and who knows what else.
@@smallandstressed2364if you are talking about the attack on the truck to begin with then you are completely wrong. That was made up by the woman after the attack happened so that can’t be the reason they attacked the truck.
Southern Australia, "sun goes down earlier" we are currently having 14 hours of sunlight a day. The days are now starting to get shorter because we are coming out of summer, but obviously they were longer. So 15+ hours a day of sunlight, as "relatively speaking" the sun rose around 5am we'd be heading into 30°c, hit mid 40°c, sometimes high 40's into the early arvo. Then the evening reprieve kicks in around 9:30pm giving us a chilly 23°c for some nookie in the pool before bed. I always prefer to stay at the beach shack during summer, because 4:30pm the onshore cool breeze would kick in. The shack along the Murray River is also nice because the river very, very rarely gets warm. But this year the river is not behaving and we're having a flood of epic proportions leaving the boat shed under water and given another 1.5 metres it will be a tad damp for getting those annoying day-to-day things done around the place. But on the bright side, our bed will be floating around the shop, so pool nookie can transition into bed like the normal boring adults that we are.
The Bloaters are easily the most terrifying creature in the last of us Because They are immune to bullets and resilient to them unless you have a flamethrower you are basically helpless Against them
not immune. The upgraded rifle takes them out in the game. Crafting cocktails is more efficient though. 3 per bloater. Cracking the game: Arrows, melee and melee weapons for runners clickers, bombs for stalkers, flame thrower and cocktails for bloaters plus all the bottle neck areas in the game, especially the hotel basement
Out of the whole series, episode three might be my favorite. No grand plot, no saving the world, just people living their lives, having to adjust to the changing world. It makes the road trip more profound, the home Bill and Frank built would look like just another one of the abandoned places, so it makes one wonder what are the stories of those places and the people which may have been there.
I thought frank's disease was ALS since they didn't foreshadow MS in any way (you can have years and years of smaller symptoms like vertigo, numbness is hands and feet, muscle spasms and pain before it gets anywhere near the stage seen in the last day), and ALS can cripple a person much faster and more severely than MS. Also I know the show's set in a world with 2003 tech etc, but MS meds are pretty effective at slowing the progression of the disease while ALS unfortunately has no such medicine. Just my input (I have MS so I know a little unfortunately lol)
My aunt got Multiple System Atrophy disorder a fee years ago, and she went down a similar path as Frank physically. She passes away last year after dealing with it for like 5 years
I enjoy you giving summaries because some stuff is not really sometimes worth my time to watch, however I always enjoy listening to you. Thank you for a hands down being one of my favorite channels!
Legend Says I-70 never really ends, you just end up where you started in an eternal loop of highway hell. But seriously the drive between St Louis and Kansas City is a special hell on its own.
I have to defend the storytelling as regards siting QZs in former cities. Sire, it might be riskier, but there are good reasons to do so. Consider: post-apocalypse, one of the key tasks of any government will be to ensure adequate production of necessities, from weapons through textiles to medicine. And, of course, this also means producing the industrial goods necessary for that capacity. For a substantial amount of time post-apocalypse, you probably won’t be in a position to manufacture very large-scale or complicated industiral equipment, which may not be easily moveable. That means you need to bring people to existing plants. Basically, if you need to produce pharmaceuticals, large amounts of steel, etc., you have to locate workers in places with pre-existing capacity (particularly considering transport links are likely both shit and dangerous).
My older sister has MS, it was quite interesting to learn how it works. Good stuff Roanoke, and yes, she's fine, just takes some medicine and occasionally a type of shot if I remember correctly. Keep up the good work.
The "rock stacking" thing probably served a dual purpose. Both as a Cairn in memory of Tess (spoonful of ritual helps the psychological trauma go down), and potentially as a trail marker. You've probably seen them out in the woods on occassion. Love the deep dives! Showed up late because I was avoiding spoilers 🙃
I have MS and almost any time a character has a debilitating illness it’s usually also MS. Thanks for being so informative about it, it’s nice to hear people explain the science behind it instead of just focusing on the suffering.
I've got the Monkey Scrotums (as my friend calls it) too, and I've noticed that in media as well once I had a reason to notice it. The first time I noticed was in an early episode of Fear The Walking Dead, when parents ask the main character to take their kid with them because the mom was not going to make it far with MS. It was in that moment that my head-canon apocalypse-survival power fantasy came crashing down and I realized, "oh... right. No, I'd be toast in no time and would probably opt out my own way."
Not sure if you’ll see this but the scene that are supposed to be outside of Boston, where he’s soaking his knuckles is outside of Calgary Alberta. Grew up walking the same paths you see Joel and Ellie hike and it’s a beautiful area with so many awesome hikes
Yeah the mountains look MUCH higher than what you'd find that close to Boston. Maybe you can find something that high in the middle of the Appalachians, but definitely not where. And the Appalachians have a less rocky apperance.
Another great Vid Roanoke! Always loved to see another killer analysis. Keep up the great work man! Can't believe it's been 3 years since I've started watching ya!
don’t knock rock stacking until you’ve tried it a few times. Whenever i’m fuming angry if I stack rocks, after a few minutes I am calmer than doing anything else
Thank you, Roanoke. Gonna have to show this to my wife because she didn’t think I was right when I said that MS is what it was. I’ve seen this happen to 2 people in my life. One to Frank’s degree, and the other much slower progression.
Hey man, thank you. I've had MS for 23 years (am currently disabled), seeing how they depicted Frank MS was definitely my first thought too. Thanks for doing a good job explaining it!
I was born and raised in Topeka, KS where my parents worked as state archeologists. I have been to just about every corner of KS (as well as a decent amount of western MO) and I can tell you that the geography is a lot more varied than you think. Now I live in OH and central/western OH is more flat than eastern KS. Additionally, every time I drive back to KS to visit family (totally agree that road trips can be way more fun than flying), I literally take the same interstate (I70) that they drive in the show. I was impressed with how accurate they got the landscape. Usually, TV shows & movies show heartland more like the San Fernando valley in CA. I swear the big bridge they drive over in the show is the same one I cross when crossing the Mississippi River near St. Louis. Just to remind everybody, about an hour south of Kansas City, MO are the Ozark Mountains. They aren't huge, but they are pretty decent hills. It's that kind of rolling hills all the way into central KS where you hit the Flint hills (which are absolutely BEAUTIFUL in spring around sunset). It doesn't really get flat until you get to Colby, KS out in western KS. The only reason why people think KS is more flat than Iowa/Indiana is because in western KS (the flattest part of the state) you can see for miles because of the lack of trees.
Emotional, character driven episodes are not filler episodes if there is a clear point to them and they are well done. It deepens my relationship with the characters and makes everything they go through more impactful to watch. I do feel like there is such a thing as filler. Filler is what happens when mediocre writers try to express profound things about human nature, it usually feels very contrived and shallow. I felt episodes 3 and 4 of this show were expertly timed/paced and they enriched the story a lot. Great video as always dude, thank you. :)
Im glad I found your page a couple of months ago. Your content is great and how you break down everything in games and movies from an academic level makes everything all the better to watch. I don't thin I ever ran 20 miles in a day in the Marine Corps though. Our weight loss secret boils down to stress and nicotine. A lot of both. Its fun.
I really appreciated hearing about the scientific stuff surrounding MS and those trials they did- super interesting stuff! (Plus _understanding_ leads to better treatments and perhaps, someday, a cure.) Just how excited you get by it all it all is absolutely infectious- in a good way, I mean.
People stack rocks in the wilderness leaving an arrow in appearance in the direction they came from and are going. It's a man made landmark prevent one from getting lost or helping others follow their trail.
Western Mass is beautiful - maybe not 10 miles outside of Boston, but once you get west of Worcester or so, to the Pioneer Valley, it’s really pretty - trees, farms, rivers. And then you’ve got the Berkshires after that. But still, not giant conifers. I’m guessing this was filmed in the PNW somewhere?
Idk if this dude is a doctor or what but he gives better insight than any biology professor or medic but hell, great damn class you give on this topics.
Stacking rocks can force me to focus carefully on something other than my brain when it's on fire. Try it during an anxiety attack when your fingers are shaking and see if it's less boring lol
Beginning of the episode they pass Worlds of Fun which is in north Kansas City so they are clearly on the Missouri side the entire time. Forests and hills are typical for this area. KC is built on a giant hill. Also KC averages in the high 90's to 100's during the summer and we had a few days of negatives in the winter. Would think that would speed up fuel tank deteriorating.
That is most certainly not what 10 miles west of Boston looks like. It’s suburbia hell for awhile you may see what you saw in the show maybe 60-80 miles west
Check your hub bearing assembly. Usually the front hubs will go out before the rear. Marvel mystery oil will add back the minerals you need for proper combustion.
I think Joel stacking rocks is a man made landmark, so after he finds Tommy, he could use them to head back to Boston. Or it's also just a maker to make sure they aren't getting lost and walking in circles.
When I seen these episodes my actual thought was "Dang I hope he does a video on this sometime soon" and here we are. Pre-viewing commenting. I can't wait to watch this.
Kansas City is in Missouri. There is a Kansas City, Kansas, but it's smaller. Driving west to Kansas City takes you across Missouri. Lots of woodland in Missouri, although not that many pines on the I-70 corridor...
Oh you have no idea how happy I was when you said multiple sclerosis, when you started describing the symptoms I immediately thought about it, but I’m just wondering, wouldn’t the first symptoms appear at a much younger age, maybe even before he met bill?
My mother has MS. I assumed this is what Frank was experiencing… I really appreciate your explanation of the diseases. It was all information I’ve learned, but it’s really cool that you put this information out there for the general public. Thanks 🙏.
I agree. Staying in cities looks a bit weird. Also in cities the infected can use f.e. the underground infrastructure. Camps with fences around would be better. How could that look like? I would like to see something like that in such shows or movies: You can have a central point for supply for the people with a street and some kind of military post, a "main building" for supplies and logistic, a place where people can gather, an entrance point and a higher position for commander. If it's a bit like roman camps, and if you want to be able to support a unit with just a few trucks per week, you would have around 1.500 people on 200m + 200m. A fence around. In the middle is something for logistics and medicine, and a point where trucks can stop. You could sperate that in smaller 8 units with 150- 200 people, where the containers form a wall, a square, and 2 points to enter and leave, with a gate. 2 rows of containers, ~35 outside, ~20 inside, around a central square and building, where the food is. They could have 8 of the 1.500 people camps like a square, 50 meters in between each of them, and in the middle a command post, supply post, barracks, other buildings, maybe even a generator or another source of energy, or 9 of that with 1 logistical hub and buildings in front, and a wall around all of that, and would have a save area, maybe 800m x 800m, maybe 800m x 1.000m, with around 12.000 people, maybe more, 3.5km walls, a tower every 50 meter, 250 soldiers, a few big trucks and vehicles. They could set up multiple of such camps nearby, maybe even 2 next to each other, or 4 in a square, on the major street from a nearby a cleared, smaller town as main supply and military hub, with railways and so on. 4 would be around 50k people, save and organized in an area around 2km x 2km, with a 8km wall, with something like a cleared, empty strip, hundreds of meters around the camp. The camp would be outside a town, that can support that many people with railways and infrastructure, buildings for storage and so on. 50k in such a small area should be possible for a smaller town. The diameter of the urban area of a town with 10k people usually is around 2.5km to 3.5km. They could clear that, a few thousand buildings, could secure the center with the railroad station, and could have multiple camps around that, if the infrastructure of the town allows that. F.e. if it has a port. If you go 1 or 2 km from the town, and have there such 50k people units on a major road that leaves the town, maybe even some more, or the 12k people units, on other, major roads, if the town allows it. You could have multiple camps with 12k/~25k or 50k people each, with walls, around a single town, depending on it's infrastructure. It could be up to 200k people, if there is a big railroad station, a port and big streets. A few 10k to 200k people in an area with around 5km - 10km in diameter. The area would be 30 - 100 squarekilometers. A wall around everything would be 20 - 40 kilometers, but they just could have a big fence and detectors 1km or 2km from town and camps, mainly for warning, and mobile units to defend the area. You would need different types of camps for logistics, supply, military and government, but i really would like to see something like that in movies and shows. Not that they just stay in huge cities, not that they are just a few hundred people in small camps somewhere, but that they leave the cities, clear certain towns with good infrastructure, and build multiple, big camps, with tens of thousands of people, split up in smaller camps and units, with a town nearby. Just like a big army would do it, where you have tens of thousands of soldiers, sometimes even more, in just a single or few camps directly at the frontline. A modern division is 10k - 20k soldiers. Multiple divisions make an army. Usually they manage the logistics for an army from a small town and the headquarter. It's much harder than for civilians. So the military could set up such camps, where ~100k civilians, protected by a few thousand soldiers, survive in a few, big camps with walls around a cleared, small town in a protected, small area, in a pretty short time period. From the outside, infected would have a hard time to attack the camps walls, or to reach the town, because there would be a fence with sensors. Even, if there is an outbreak in a part of a camp, there would be fences and walls, so it couldn't get out of control that easily. It would be an efficient short term solution. Imo something like that, bigger than the camps they usually show, and more reasonable than just staying in a big, chaotic city and f.e. building a wall around that, would be interesting to see. Something where they really have a lot of survivers, and they really try to protect them, and have a real chance that it works 🤷♂️
I mean the rock stacking was obviously a “grave” for Tess right. Anyone else heard “stacking up rocks by the water”. Several songs like it and can be for god or grave
For the scrapping sound, did you check the wheel bearings? had similar problem with a Toyota tundra. Couldn't found the scraping sound, check for everything that would rotate or cause that kind of sound, till one day by chance found the noise coming from the driver rear wheel bearing.
Dude, I'm glad to hear you talk about the gasoline. I couldn't believe they had the balls to say spores would be a step too far. I went off on a tangent and had my roommate and gf roll their eyes at me, my peanuts were percolating!
I just saw you re-uploaded this so I’m going to throw my comment back in. Have you checked your brakes? I got some air in mine after changing them a few months ago, and it caused that same noise. I bled them multiple times and it never got better. Ended up having to bleed the ABS pump. The only other things I can think of would be wheel bearings, rotors, or you’re actually rubbing(if you up sized your wheels and tires) and might need a trim. Hope that helps, man.
10:21 as someone on Tumblr said. Bill know he can't be seen because the fire are too bright for the raider to probably aim. He only get hit because he scream
Dude can you make video about Call of Duty Ghosts,'s Extiction mode? Although it was forgotten because it was the black goat of the series, the alien pve mode was still quite fun.
Okay, my theory was that Frank was getting low dosages of Cordyceps from eating toast. Not enough to infect him; but just enough to affect his motor skills. Cordyceps spreading along the neurological system, not taking over -- but slowly making it so that he would no longer have control over his limbs. A minor version of Tess losing control of her body as Cordyceps spread after her infection. At least that's where I thought they were going when talking about Cordyceps in the grains, and Frank asking for toast on his last day.
Bro, I just realized that I don't think that you ever covered the Las Plagas strain from Resident Evil... Would you make a fellow nerd happy and cover that, please?

Hey Roanoke... Can you do an episode based on the Netflix Show, Cabinet of Curiosities: 03 The Autopsy. Thanks heaps love your work channel.
The previous episode of the last of us
Regarding your beloved Toyota. I would be happy to help try to fix the problem with you. DM me. But the dust cover is likely the problem regardless of your attempts, they can scrap even when it’s been pulled far back. Or it’s a brake/rotor/caliper issue.
Great video, as always. Yes, you’re trippin about the name ❤
In the game the hunters revolted because Fedra kept cutting rations. When they revolted and won they lost the wider resources that Fedra had (who was having problems getting food)so the supply sittiation probably got worse likely leading to them becoming a raiding economy.
anything for survival
In a matter of 10 days too, speaks to that lady's poor leadership/ lack of foresight.
I'm from Baltimore and trust me. We died years ago. 13 year olds raped and killed my neighbors 14 year old g daughter and burned the house down. I saw a teen gets shot in the face for his bike and have seen dead bodies in the streets multiple times. The apocalypse has nothing on regular Baltimore.

The stacking rocks is called a cairn, and it's usually a memorial or trail marker from my understanding. So... He was building a resting place for Tess.
This
It's also a relatively common activity for hikers in the area (southern alberta/eastern bc) to go hang out alone by a river, stack rocks, and relax so I wouldn't be surprised if during filming they saw it happening and thought it would be a good shot to include.
So I was living in Eugene, OR, at the beginning of the pandemic, and one of the big concerns the city had was what to do about the homeless population because many times large groups could form in different areas. So they come up with the great idea to try to get all of the homeless into the fair grounds. So basically, taking some very vulnerable people and sticking everyone in one area rather than leaving small groups and individuals alone. It didn't ultimately pan out, but let's just say that I 100% buy that the government would try to bring everyone from outlying towns into cities during an infectious outbreak
Sometimes I think the government just wants to kill them, everything they do never benefits the homeless, or anyone for that matter. Yet they keep doing the same shit over and over, for once I’d like them to try something new and see if it works, but nope, won’t happen.
I had some trust into the Government before the Pandemic. I dont anymore.
Where I live (UK) they got as many homeless people into the local hotels. A bed, food, and they have their own room.
@@adrenjones9301good character development
@@adrenjones9301 Never trust the government. Bill was right to building his own underground bunker and hiding out.
Thank you for finally bringing up how gas doesn’t last! This always kills me in post apocalyptic movies and shows
Was looking for this comment even with additives we are talking abiut a 8 month life span not 20 fucken years
From personal experience I've drained and used gas out of a car that sat for 5 years. Worked perfectly fine.
it’s true however there’s not much you can do without making some “creative” liberties in these shows when it comes to things as complex as gas post world ending 😂😭
@@CarneDeBlaQ Depends on what car you use the fuel with, I guess. Some cars - particularly older ones - are much more sturdy than newer models. My dads old car was running perfectly fine, even when we mixed a few liters of cooking oil into the diesel fuel due to high gas prices. His new car would probably break down completely if we even poured just half a liter of cooking oil into the tank.
Still, 5 years and 20 years is a huge difference, so the fuel in The Last Of Us definitely would have been degraded to the point of being completely useless.
@Luzilyo Stormchild diesel vehicles are completely different. And I'd be very surprised if a modern diesel didn't also run happily on cooking oil.
Researching gasoline, it looks like the main cause of spoilage is oxidization. Which requires exposure to oxygen. Gas tanks are, mostly, well sealed. They have to be, as required by emissions laws. The evaporated fuel is vented back into the engine to be burned. Seems like a well sealed vessel could slow down or stop the spoilage. I'm not saying it will last 20 years but at the least it looks like gas life is more circumstantial and less a hard rule of 6months to a year.
The cairn raising is a very old tradition in many cultures. It helps the dead spirits find their way to the underworld. It can also be just a form of memorial, a shrine, whether or not we think of it that way.
I've also seen them be used as markers for keeping your way
@@mrwyattloveall I lived on a beautiful mountain for awhile and I did the same.
The towers of rocks are usually trail markers or done as a meditation. I suspect Joel does it as a meditative act to keep himself sane in this post-apocalyptic world.
I also though Bill's firing position was very dumb and unnecessarily dangerous, but then I realized. Bill was drawing the fire to himself, keeping them from shooting the house and risking getting Frank shot and hurt.
That's love right there. Ready to die if it means you keep the ones you care about safe for a moment more.
yeah, a lot of people are talking about how it's dumb writing - but the episode is all about how love can skew your priorities. if Bill never met Frank, he'd be safer - but he'd be the bitter old bastard we met in the game. in the show, he cares so much about Frank that, through either deliberately making himself a target to draw fire or just being so scared of losing Frank, he does something stupid.
we all know what becomes of Joel later in the story when he starts to care. keep that in mind...
also, Bill being a survivalist doesn't necessarily make him a good gunfighter!
It seems incredibly stupid regardless-just as stupid as the raiders running at the fence again and again.
Damn I didn't realize that.
God this episode was sad af bro.
Dude stop. It was dumb writing. Bill had plenty of cars he could have been hiding behind and still draw fire from the house. What would happen to Frank if bill was gunned down in the street?
21:02 Yeah Ellie's muzzle discipline is crap, but Joel at least had the sense to physically unload the gun, magazine and chamber, so it became less of an issue. One of those things you have to do when time is of the essence.
Seems like it was a trick of the camera when it was facing Joel, there’s a couple quick cuts where you can see it’s pointing far off the left of his shoulder
@@kungfujesus1874 this
I think we've got to remember that Joel was at best a casual gun owner before the outbreak. In the game he has an unloaded wheelgun in a lockbox, in the show he's never seen with a gun at all in 2003. He's a competent shooter, Tommy most definitely taught him some stuff, but he has no professional background. Shit hit the fan wayyyy back in early GWoT before a lot of tactical coolguy culture seeped into the general cultural consciousness. Shit like muzzle orientation and trigger discipline, even if they're part of the big 4 safety rules, weren't really something most people understood because it wasn't what they saw in movies or TV. And folks have been smoking each other longgggg before anybody gave a damn about trigger discipline.
All this is to say the poor gun handling definitely activated my almonds but Joel handling guns like Ranger Rick would be pretty unrealistic in the setting!
...Even though Joel's from Texas?
@@mrjtfang2 he's from Austin, that's barely even Texas
In the show Joel says that both he and Tommy joined the Army before Desert Storm, plus the bumper sticker on his truck in ep1 that says "Veteran of Desert Storm". Also, they are from Texas. Of course they knew how to use guns.
@@flyboymk1 pretty sure that was just Tommy, and it was Tommy's truck. Also only people that never lived in Austin seem to think everyone in Texas was born with a gun and an NRA membership in hand LOL. especially in the cities lots of folks don't know their way around a gun, even before the big tech boom.
As I watched episode 3 I was honestly waiting for the other shoe to drop between Bill and Frank over the years. Frickin happy they didn't do that! Such an amazing episode.
But, it doesn't give you that 'this is what happens to you when you cut yourself off' lesson that the game does. There's no 'Joel has to choose between Ellie and this'.
My dad is very much like Bill, and my stepmom has MS. They've been together decades and both have talked before about going out together like this when it gets toomuch, so episode 3 just destroyed me emotionally.
Why did they tell you about that though? You didnt need to know that
@@kelsey2333 lmfao
Bro what the fuck.
my mum had MS but she died of a heart attack before she deteriorated much, I'm not sure whether I should be grateful for that given how bad it gets in those that deteriorate
Your brake pads might just be rubbing on the rotors causing the metallic sound. If you take them out you can clean the guides and slightly put some type of grease so the pads are able to move freely without any issues.
Brake pads may be worn out and the underlying metal is cutting into the rotors. Or the calipers are seized
@@ethomps12 this is true. Idk Roanokes driving process but I know if a vehicle sits for a bit these guides do get rusty and cause them to get stuck.
I've done so many pad replacements on good pads that just needed the guides cleaned up and grease up a bit with anti rust stuff 😅
HE SAID HE CHECKED EM!!!!!! ITS NOT THAAAAAAAT!!!! lol jp ummm yea break pads. Honestly tho there's a good chance its under the hood.
But hey since there's 2 car men here. I can get an opinions without being called sexist. So, Kathleen am I alone in thinking wtf. How does a elementary school teacher (50 some years old female overweight and can't beat a 15 year old boy in a fight) take over. There's a bunch of men (like her 2nd in charge guy) and it's the apocalypse, kill or be killed and that's who's picked? She can't even run!! I really hate how I keep seeing this trend. It's not sexist it realistic!
@@dont-touch-mepg1392because of her brother, dude. Leadership isn’t about physical prowess, it’s more complex than that, unless you live in a ape like society where strength is all that matters, which is dumb.
I swear, when they mentioned the monkey bite, I was very much excited to see your reaction.
Are Bloaters just 99% fungal material at that point in the infection? So it's not like bullets, organ damage, bleeding out w.e will ever hurt them like a normal infected. Like a real mushroom, a colony of fungal cells that are independent but working in unison without discernible organs to operate, as per that copy-pasta: "you can not kill me in any way that matters".
They can be killed so they might still rely on the very basic bones, brain, and nerves to move the body around
There's no indication they are anything more than big people with a lot of layers of extra fungal mass layered over them. They're not fungus men, they have muscles and organs and blood and need to eat and breathe still.
My mother got diagnosed with MS about a decade ago. My sister got diagnosed three years ago. I totally agree with your take on Frank's ailment, cause he showed the alot of the same symptoms that my mother currently has... Shit's rough and the pills. Good God the pills
That shit's rough, and the pills, but also the regularly occurring and predictable chorus of assholes doubting the disability if you're not visibly crippled.
Bro what in the fuck is MS SAWSN.
@@giorosiles2220 you know when people have a stroke and struggle with vision, balance and or muscle control? MS is that but in slow motion but it can also affect mood by causing anxiety and depression
Even better the second time. Love a Roanoke Re-up.
Hope its still enjoyable!
I'm really enjoying the changes the series is making from the game. Giving the background for Bill and frank instead of following the games route really fits the medium
it was quite the sad episode
@@RoanokeGaming man I cried like a fucking baby at episode 3. One of only 4 pieces of media that have ever made me cry.
I hope they directly adapt TLOU part 2, So I can soak in the Online discourse, I think Druckmann is Ballsy enough to go through with it, God Save whoever has the misfortune to play Abby though.
@@kellywilson137 TLOU2 is hot garbage and should never be adapted. Wanting it to be adapted just for the sake of "soaking in online discourse" is an immense waste of people's time and money.
@@EmanGameplay cope lol its gonna be adapted
as a person with MS seeing the Bill and Frank episode was really scary for completely different reasons.
I've had MS for nearly 30 years. I'll be 50 next month and, thankfully, have very little disability from it. The initial episode was optical neuritis which led to scar tissue on the optic nerve, causing loss of vision in the centre field of my left eye. I also have bouts of spasticity if I strain too much e.g. if I reach to scratch my back, my arm muscles will continue stretching and won't stop until I physically force them to by moving them in the opposite direction. It's really weird.
Anyway, other than that, no one would know I have it (and sometimes I forget lol). I don't know how long ago you were dx, but I wanted you to know that it's not automatically the worst case scenario as the Drs suggested to me. ❤️
@@nollypolly Yah my first flare up was loss of vision but luckily so far no lasting damage, I hope the best for you man!
I was diagnosed in November last year during my first attack, after having stroke-like symptoms. Very scary!
@@CornOfTheBreads All cases are different, this disease is a real roll of the dice. Some get lucky like nollypolly, others not so much. I was diagnosed back in 2016, with a whole host of weird things that I had been ignoring such as multicoloured vision in my left eye (like everything was covered in oil), a sun burn type feeling all over half of my body, and finally my left leg that decided it didn't want to work + kept moving itself without me feeling it move.
As of today, my MRIs are stable, I took a lot of damage early doors but after treatment the disease's visual progress has been slowed. That said, as the years have gone by, it has progressed inch by inch. Bladder and bowel troubles, being useless trying to do anything above head height (such as screwing in a lightbulb), a pronounced limp that appears when I start doing any physical activity, and I have developed a sort of fatalistic view that in another ten years I may well be in trouble.
I'm not physically degraded, I still do everything as I always have, and as far as the state is concerned I wouldn't be considered disabled, but the small annoyances are mounting and are gradually making their mark. For example, if I have to drive anywhere more than half an hour away, I wont drink for hours before I get into the car, and I'll pop a couple of anti-diarhea pills just to ensure nothing hilarious happens - I've had many close calls, and some incidents.
Its a disease that you will probably have found is easy to ignore, and like nollypolly says, you will forget you have it sometimes. And then one day you'll wake up in a puddle of your own urine and spend the morning thinking about Frank.
Happy trails!
"Cairns" - a rock raise/pile used by most notably the Vikings, Cairns in Scottish culture to mark a purpose or memorial. Most commonly used and known as Grave markers, but can be used for many other reasons and situations.
Waypoints for trails is a common use for them too, to denote beaten paths as being the correct one.
My Best friend has a spine issue that is making him lose mobility. It's degrading and eventually he was told his lungs would stop working as his spine just stops sending signals. Bleak as hell but it's made him spend his time wiser and we have had some of the best times of our lives together! Hopefully there will be a fix for this in the near future so he doesn't have to "Leave the Server" early.
My only problem with episode 3 is Bill not having body armor, dude is a self admitted preper and has everything else but that; I guess it kind of caught him off guard; but it still seems odd. I assume his generator is like mine and can run on gas or propane. Episode 3 is one of the best damn episodes of television I've ever seen. They attack Elle and Joel because they think they're the people they've been fighting, and they don't have time to ask questions. They are not filler episodes, three is world building and character development as well as establishing where Joel gets the car from, and four is also world building and character development and the plot moving forward. Filler is episodes that contribute absolutely nothing and can be completely skipped without missing anything. Frank reminded me a lot of my step mom who had MS so I just assumed that's what it is.
I was thinking about that too like he had to have at least a vest and helmet somewhere. I am also confused how he had a scanner if Fedra never came up there. Also I think he should have made a second like wall with the cars of the neighborhood but that was just my thinking.
If I recall correctly, back in 2003, it was fairly difficult to get even basic kevlar vests on the civilian market.
@@mgeiger2341 Easier than the guns, by a long shot. in '03 the Brady bill was still in effect, and the feds had only recently (9/11) stopped keeping watch on militia/sovereign citizen types and illicit gun trades.
Meanwhile, you COULD already find PASGT vests in well-stocked military surplus stores. Keyword could, because they usually had waitlists and would run out day of supply. Same for basically any kind of NBC gear, rations, water purification supply, and other survival gear. People got bonkers after 9/11.
The infected's eyes followed Ellie's blade as she moved it side by side. Was there a human part still left in him that he was trying to hint at what she should do and that is gameend him?
The show creators suggested not. Chris said during the episode 5 podcast that during the initial period after infection it'll be like a really bad trip for the person, where they'll see themselves doing these things but won't be able to stop. Which suggests after the initial infection period, i.e. the runner phase, enough of their brain is destroyed by the fungus that the person inside them is dead.
Also great detail, Bill made the same meal (paired with the same wine) that he made the first time he met Frank. One of the greatest love stories ever, I'm tearing up just seeing the recap
Your outwardly aparent attraction to animals is noted. This is what you wanted, right?
Yea but it literally did nothing. I've never seen a show do that. Really weird and really pointless. Bill and Frank did for the plot and would have loved to have em stick around. Or why not add 30 mins and make a movie about em? I would watch or their own show. Maybe they'll get it. Was it for awards? I think so. Because there is no other reasons. I can say it was the best gay couple I've ever seen wrote and enjoyed it. There might be better gay characters in books I've read but not shows or movies. I mean maybe if the next episode would have had a BUNCH of action or story but it really didn't. Making it even odder. I don't no, I guess I'm just confused about it. I kept thinking one would survive because of all the development and time they were getting and then it was like, "they're dead now move on".
@@schrokittyschrokatzerl1050 You're weird
@@dont-touch-mepg1392 The thing that most people who hate on EP3 seem to miss is that it's completely canon. The Last Of Us is a story about human survival. That's always what the games have always been about. How humans adapt, cope, survive, and die in the apocalypse. Hence the name. It's not "The Slaying Of Zombies" or "Big Bang Boom Zombie Killer Squad". It's about those of us who are left.
So given another shot at expanding the story he wrote, Neil Druckmann wrote another tale about human survival, but it just so happened to be an expanded story around characters that he himself said he wished he could have gone into more detail with in TLOU1. This was his shot to tell that story in full. But instead of a messy breakup, he said "fuck it, what if two people had a happy, healthy relationship/life in the end of the world? What would that even look like, while the rest of the world is barely struggling to survive?" and in the end, they died together peacefully instead of one hanging himself and the other living alone and going nuts. EP3 is one of the most "The Last Of Us"-style stories there is. There was plenty of action, tension, drama, and tragedy. It was perfect imo.
It also did give us more backstory for Tess and Joel, moved the plot along with the car battery, supplies, and guns, and gave Ellie and Joel new perspective and understanding in their relationship. Was it a lot of just Bill and Frank? Yes. But Joel and/or Ellie still took up 30% of the screen time in the episode. Plenty else happened, but people seem to forget that.
Shame some people can't just see good storytelling and universe-building and enjoy it for what it is. Nobody ever said it would be a 1:1 recreation of the game. If you don't like what they're doing with it, play the game. But I trust the guy who created the game to tell the story how he wants to. It's his story after all.
@@YungStinkyWinky I think it's just a lack of emotional maturity. I've seen too much of it in a certain subset of capital G Gamer types, and it results in endless bitching and whining on a weekly basis about something new. Someone is too black, or too gay, or too female, or not female enough, or not manly enough, on and on and on. Similarly, I think that's at the core of the hatred of the second game. I have yet to hear a single valid criticism of it, it's always something arbitrary, factually inaccurate, misunderstood, or people just conflating "I didn't like it" with "it's objectively bad." Like, how many years of the Walking Dead (and Telltale Games, especially!) do we need before people understand that important, main characters die in an apocalypse situation? And they're surprised Joel died? And the whole "this or that didn't move the story forward" thing makes no sense whatsoever unless someone is not understanding anything about the point of the games and show.
I kinda thought the reason they attacked Joel was because they thought he was a mercenary called in by Henry
It sounded like an ongoing factional war between 2 groups after the gave fedra the finger. Henry shot lead ladies bro and in her attempts to rationalize everything assumes the outsiders were brought in by henry
In the game however it is simply a raider group, the city revolted and anyone who didnt side with them ran, fought the new raider group, and anyone foolish enough to get caught in their traps were robbed, killed and who knows what else.
It was. Roanoke often misses things that are literally explained in shows/movies.
@@smallandstressed2364if you are talking about the attack on the truck to begin with then you are completely wrong. That was made up by the woman after the attack happened so that can’t be the reason they attacked the truck.
Southern Australia, "sun goes down earlier" we are currently having 14 hours of sunlight a day. The days are now starting to get shorter because we are coming out of summer, but obviously they were longer. So 15+ hours a day of sunlight, as "relatively speaking" the sun rose around 5am we'd be heading into 30°c, hit mid 40°c, sometimes high 40's into the early arvo. Then the evening reprieve kicks in around 9:30pm giving us a chilly 23°c for some nookie in the pool before bed.
I always prefer to stay at the beach shack during summer, because 4:30pm the onshore cool breeze would kick in. The shack along the Murray River is also nice because the river very, very rarely gets warm. But this year the river is not behaving and we're having a flood of epic proportions leaving the boat shed under water and given another 1.5 metres it will be a tad damp for getting those annoying day-to-day things done around the place. But on the bright side, our bed will be floating around the shop, so pool nookie can transition into bed like the normal boring adults that we are.
The Bloaters are easily the most terrifying creature in the last of us
Because They are immune to bullets and resilient to them unless you have a flamethrower you are basically helpless Against them
not immune. The upgraded rifle takes them out in the game. Crafting cocktails is more efficient though. 3 per bloater.
Cracking the game:
Arrows, melee and melee weapons for runners clickers, bombs for stalkers, flame thrower and cocktails for bloaters plus all the bottle neck areas in the game, especially the hotel basement

Out of the whole series, episode three might be my favorite. No grand plot, no saving the world, just people living their lives, having to adjust to the changing world. It makes the road trip more profound, the home Bill and Frank built would look like just another one of the abandoned places, so it makes one wonder what are the stories of those places and the people which may have been there.
I thought frank's disease was ALS since they didn't foreshadow MS in any way (you can have years and years of smaller symptoms like vertigo, numbness is hands and feet, muscle spasms and pain before it gets anywhere near the stage seen in the last day), and ALS can cripple a person much faster and more severely than MS. Also I know the show's set in a world with 2003 tech etc, but MS meds are pretty effective at slowing the progression of the disease while ALS unfortunately has no such medicine. Just my input (I have MS so I know a little unfortunately lol)
I feel like that Arbys sign in e4 was a callback to Bill's statement in e3
100%
I saw Arbys has been making jokes on their signs lol re ep 3
My aunt got Multiple System Atrophy disorder a fee years ago, and she went down a similar path as Frank physically. She passes away last year after dealing with it for like 5 years
I enjoy you giving summaries because some stuff is not really sometimes worth my time to watch, however I always enjoy listening to you.
Thank you for a hands down being one of my favorite channels!
If you enjoyed the game, the show is worth your time
Watching joel siphon that tank, i immediately knew Roanoke was gonna take issue with that
Legend Says I-70 never really ends, you just end up where you started in an eternal loop of highway hell. But seriously the drive between St Louis and Kansas City is a special hell on its own.
I have to defend the storytelling as regards siting QZs in former cities. Sire, it might be riskier, but there are good reasons to do so.
Consider: post-apocalypse, one of the key tasks of any government will be to ensure adequate production of necessities, from weapons through textiles to medicine. And, of course, this also means producing the industrial goods necessary for that capacity. For a substantial amount of time post-apocalypse, you probably won’t be in a position to manufacture very large-scale or complicated industiral equipment, which may not be easily moveable. That means you need to bring people to existing plants. Basically, if you need to produce pharmaceuticals, large amounts of steel, etc., you have to locate workers in places with pre-existing capacity (particularly considering transport links are likely both shit and dangerous).
My older sister has MS, it was quite interesting to learn how it works. Good stuff Roanoke, and yes, she's fine, just takes some medicine and occasionally a type of shot if I remember correctly. Keep up the good work.
I hope she stays well
“Then you became a skeleton” is my new favorite way to describe someone dying.
The "rock stacking" thing probably served a dual purpose. Both as a Cairn in memory of Tess (spoonful of ritual helps the psychological trauma go down), and potentially as a trail marker. You've probably seen them out in the woods on occassion.
Love the deep dives!
Showed up late because I was avoiding spoilers 🙃
I have MS and almost any time a character has a debilitating illness it’s usually also MS. Thanks for being so informative about it, it’s nice to hear people explain the science behind it instead of just focusing on the suffering.
I've got the Monkey Scrotums (as my friend calls it) too, and I've noticed that in media as well once I had a reason to notice it. The first time I noticed was in an early episode of Fear The Walking Dead, when parents ask the main character to take their kid with them because the mom was not going to make it far with MS. It was in that moment that my head-canon apocalypse-survival power fantasy came crashing down and I realized, "oh... right. No, I'd be toast in no time and would probably opt out my own way."
I've had MS for nearly 30 years and, yes, as soon as I saw Frank I was like "Aw man, he has MS 😔." Bc it's *always* MS on TV and in movies lol
Not sure if you’ll see this but the scene that are supposed to be outside of Boston, where he’s soaking his knuckles is outside of Calgary Alberta. Grew up walking the same paths you see Joel and Ellie hike and it’s a beautiful area with so many awesome hikes
Yeah the mountains look MUCH higher than what you'd find that close to Boston. Maybe you can find something that high in the middle of the Appalachians, but definitely not where. And the Appalachians have a less rocky apperance.
Another great Vid Roanoke! Always loved to see another killer analysis.
Keep up the great work man! Can't believe it's been 3 years since I've started watching ya!
ayyyyy thanks for stickin around man!
don’t knock rock stacking until you’ve tried it a few times. Whenever i’m fuming angry if I stack rocks, after a few minutes I am calmer than doing anything else
The show was filmed in Alberta if you haven't Googled. It's definitely worth a himing trip. The mountains are beautiful
My friend and I had an issue with Joel(not me) leaving behind a perfectly good m4 while heading towards a place with ammo
Although 556 is plentiful he had zero idea if he would find ammo and when you got to carry everything on you loosing 10 pounds helps a lot
Thank you, Roanoke. Gonna have to show this to my wife because she didn’t think I was right when I said that MS is what it was. I’ve seen this happen to 2 people in my life. One to Frank’s degree, and the other much slower progression.
I’m so glad this guys got two channels , love all your videos man 🤟
Best Place on TH-cam for this kind of stuff, Love your work dude!
Hey man, thank you. I've had MS for 23 years (am currently disabled), seeing how they depicted Frank MS was definitely my first thought too. Thanks for doing a good job explaining it!
Thanks for this Video Roanoke my girlfriend has been diagnosed with MS and this has helped me get a stronger understanding as to how the disease works
I was born and raised in Topeka, KS where my parents worked as state archeologists. I have been to just about every corner of KS (as well as a decent amount of western MO) and I can tell you that the geography is a lot more varied than you think. Now I live in OH and central/western OH is more flat than eastern KS. Additionally, every time I drive back to KS to visit family (totally agree that road trips can be way more fun than flying), I literally take the same interstate (I70) that they drive in the show. I was impressed with how accurate they got the landscape.
Usually, TV shows & movies show heartland more like the San Fernando valley in CA. I swear the big bridge they drive over in the show is the same one I cross when crossing the Mississippi River near St. Louis.
Just to remind everybody, about an hour south of Kansas City, MO are the Ozark Mountains. They aren't huge, but they are pretty decent hills. It's that kind of rolling hills all the way into central KS where you hit the Flint hills (which are absolutely BEAUTIFUL in spring around sunset). It doesn't really get flat until you get to Colby, KS out in western KS. The only reason why people think KS is more flat than Iowa/Indiana is because in western KS (the flattest part of the state) you can see for miles because of the lack of trees.
Emotional, character driven episodes are not filler episodes if there is a clear point to them and they are well done. It deepens my relationship with the characters and makes everything they go through more impactful to watch. I do feel like there is such a thing as filler. Filler is what happens when mediocre writers try to express profound things about human nature, it usually feels very contrived and shallow. I felt episodes 3 and 4 of this show were expertly timed/paced and they enriched the story a lot.
Great video as always dude, thank you. :)
Im glad I found your page a couple of months ago. Your content is great and how you break down everything in games and movies from an academic level makes everything all the better to watch. I don't thin I ever ran 20 miles in a day in the Marine Corps though. Our weight loss secret boils down to stress and nicotine. A lot of both. Its fun.
I really appreciated hearing about the scientific stuff surrounding MS and those trials they did- super interesting stuff! (Plus _understanding_ leads to better treatments and perhaps, someday, a cure.) Just how excited you get by it all it all is absolutely infectious- in a good way, I mean.
The scraping could be the rotor having a rust lip on it contacting the parking brake/backing plate
People stack rocks in the wilderness leaving an arrow in appearance in the direction they came from and are going. It's a man made landmark prevent one from getting lost or helping others follow their trail.
Western Mass is beautiful - maybe not 10 miles outside of Boston, but once you get west of Worcester or so, to the Pioneer Valley, it’s really pretty - trees, farms, rivers. And then you’ve got the Berkshires after that. But still, not giant conifers. I’m guessing this was filmed in the PNW somewhere?
Idk if this dude is a doctor or what but he gives better insight than any biology professor or medic but hell, great damn class you give on this topics.
He has a degree in biology from University of West Georgia.
Stacking rocks can force me to focus carefully on something other than my brain when it's on fire. Try it during an anxiety attack when your fingers are shaking and see if it's less boring lol
I thought it was in memory of Tess
Beginning of the episode they pass Worlds of Fun which is in north Kansas City so they are clearly on the Missouri side the entire time. Forests and hills are typical for this area. KC is built on a giant hill.
Also KC averages in the high 90's to 100's during the summer and we had a few days of negatives in the winter. Would think that would speed up fuel tank deteriorating.
Finally, I waited for your video for so long
That is most certainly not what 10 miles west of Boston looks like. It’s suburbia hell for awhile you may see what you saw in the show maybe 60-80 miles west
One day could you do a video on the abilities in the movie Chronicle
I can check it out!
Jesus Christmas "Ellie then fast travels"
Oh my god fucking gold
Check your hub bearing assembly. Usually the front hubs will go out before the rear. Marvel mystery oil will add back the minerals you need for proper combustion.
I think Joel stacking rocks is a man made landmark, so after he finds Tommy, he could use them to head back to Boston. Or it's also just a maker to make sure they aren't getting lost and walking in circles.
Maybe the building in QC provide a barrier against the aggressive infected
I can’t wait for your episode 5 video because a certain someone makes an appearance.
When I seen these episodes my actual thought was "Dang I hope he does a video on this sometime soon" and here we are. Pre-viewing commenting. I can't wait to watch this.
Kansas City is in Missouri. There is a Kansas City, Kansas, but it's smaller. Driving west to Kansas City takes you across Missouri. Lots of woodland in Missouri, although not that many pines on the I-70 corridor...
I love and hate how Roanoke knew some of us would do the 15 minutes as soon as he reminded us to do it
I love this and am obsessed with this show right now. Please make more!
Oh you have no idea how happy I was when you said multiple sclerosis, when you started describing the symptoms I immediately thought about it, but I’m just wondering, wouldn’t the first symptoms appear at a much younger age, maybe even before he met bill?
"Long Hair" was the voice of Tommy in the game 😄 I think the showrunner said Frank had ALS
My mother has MS. I assumed this is what Frank was experiencing… I really appreciate your explanation of the diseases. It was all information I’ve learned, but it’s really cool that you put this information out there for the general public. Thanks 🙏.
I agree. Staying in cities looks a bit weird. Also in cities the infected can use f.e. the underground infrastructure. Camps with fences around would be better.
How could that look like? I would like to see something like that in such shows or movies:
You can have a central point for supply for the people with a street and some kind of military post, a "main building" for supplies and logistic, a place where people can gather, an entrance point and a higher position for commander.
If it's a bit like roman camps, and if you want to be able to support a unit with just a few trucks per week, you would have around 1.500 people on 200m + 200m. A fence around. In the middle is something for logistics and medicine, and a point where trucks can stop.
You could sperate that in smaller 8 units with 150- 200 people, where the containers form a wall, a square, and 2 points to enter and leave, with a gate. 2 rows of containers, ~35 outside, ~20 inside, around a central square and building, where the food is.
They could have 8 of the 1.500 people camps like a square, 50 meters in between each of them, and in the middle a command post, supply post, barracks, other buildings, maybe even a generator or another source of energy, or 9 of that with 1 logistical hub and buildings in front, and a wall around all of that, and would have a save area, maybe 800m x 800m, maybe 800m x 1.000m, with around 12.000 people, maybe more, 3.5km walls, a tower every 50 meter, 250 soldiers, a few big trucks and vehicles.
They could set up multiple of such camps nearby, maybe even 2 next to each other, or 4 in a square, on the major street from a nearby a cleared, smaller town as main supply and military hub, with railways and so on.
4 would be around 50k people, save and organized in an area around 2km x 2km, with a 8km wall, with something like a cleared, empty strip, hundreds of meters around the camp.
The camp would be outside a town, that can support that many people with railways and infrastructure, buildings for storage and so on. 50k in such a small area should be possible for a smaller town.
The diameter of the urban area of a town with 10k people usually is around 2.5km to 3.5km. They could clear that, a few thousand buildings, could secure the center with the railroad station, and could have multiple camps around that, if the infrastructure of the town allows that. F.e. if it has a port.
If you go 1 or 2 km from the town, and have there such 50k people units on a major road that leaves the town, maybe even some more, or the 12k people units, on other, major roads, if the town allows it.
You could have multiple camps with 12k/~25k or 50k people each, with walls, around a single town, depending on it's infrastructure. It could be up to 200k people, if there is a big railroad station, a port and big streets.
A few 10k to 200k people in an area with around 5km - 10km in diameter. The area would be 30 - 100 squarekilometers. A wall around everything would be 20 - 40 kilometers, but they just could have a big fence and detectors 1km or 2km from town and camps, mainly for warning, and mobile units to defend the area.
You would need different types of camps for logistics, supply, military and government, but i really would like to see something like that in movies and shows.
Not that they just stay in huge cities, not that they are just a few hundred people in small camps somewhere, but that they leave the cities, clear certain towns with good infrastructure, and build multiple, big camps, with tens of thousands of people, split up in smaller camps and units, with a town nearby.
Just like a big army would do it, where you have tens of thousands of soldiers, sometimes even more, in just a single or few camps directly at the frontline.
A modern division is 10k - 20k soldiers. Multiple divisions make an army. Usually they manage the logistics for an army from a small town and the headquarter. It's much harder than for civilians.
So the military could set up such camps, where ~100k civilians, protected by a few thousand soldiers, survive in a few, big camps with walls around a cleared, small town in a protected, small area, in a pretty short time period.
From the outside, infected would have a hard time to attack the camps walls, or to reach the town, because there would be a fence with sensors. Even, if there is an outbreak in a part of a camp, there would be fences and walls, so it couldn't get out of control that easily. It would be an efficient short term solution.
Imo something like that, bigger than the camps they usually show, and more reasonable than just staying in a big, chaotic city and f.e. building a wall around that, would be interesting to see.
Something where they really have a lot of survivers, and they really try to protect them, and have a real chance that it works 🤷♂️
I mean the rock stacking was obviously a “grave” for Tess right. Anyone else heard “stacking up rocks by the water”. Several songs like it and can be for god or grave
Your wit and timing was especially spot on with this one--thanks for a VERY MUCH needed, brain-stimulating giggle or two! Love you!!! ❤❤❤
Stacking rocks like that is called a cairn and is sometimes used to represent a memorial, this one is probably for Tess
It's cringe and people should kick them when they see them.
If you like those areas, the show was filmed up here in Alberta, so you know where to find such scenery
This is genuinely a good video game adaptation
For the scrapping sound, did you check the wheel bearings? had similar problem with a Toyota tundra. Couldn't found the scraping sound, check for everything that would rotate or cause that kind of sound, till one day by chance found the noise coming from the driver rear wheel bearing.
hey roanoke, by any chance could you cover the infection from Dead Rising?
That's the parasitic wasp right?
17:07 oh my god...I'm so glad someone else said this!!!
Literally so much could've been fixed by doing that...
Loving these reviews man, keep it up!
Thanks for watching my man!
@@RoanokeGaming Georgia Boys have to stick together bro
Dude, I'm glad to hear you talk about the gasoline. I couldn't believe they had the balls to say spores would be a step too far. I went off on a tangent and had my roommate and gf roll their eyes at me, my peanuts were percolating!
The bloater in last episode was awesome
I love how irl Bill looks almost just like TLOU game Bill.
Please do a video on the biology and physiology and morphology on the Martians from DC comics please 🥺 ?
might be able to do that at some point!
i think the monkey bite is an shout out to stuff like 28 days- or just the notion that zombies can take over the world with just bites
I'm glad I wasn't the only one thinking this lol
yeah, im enjoying the 2 episodes per, also yes im still gonna ask if you could do something on stargates replicators or remake halo's flood
I just saw you re-uploaded this so I’m going to throw my comment back in. Have you checked your brakes? I got some air in mine after changing them a few months ago, and it caused that same noise. I bled them multiple times and it never got better. Ended up having to bleed the ABS pump. The only other things I can think of would be wheel bearings, rotors, or you’re actually rubbing(if you up sized your wheels and tires) and might need a trim. Hope that helps, man.
Don’t forget, I’m right down the road if you wanna split a 12 pack while figuring your vehicles out!
As i promised i will leave the episode playing in loop lol
My man!
10:21 as someone on Tumblr said. Bill know he can't be seen because the fire are too bright for the raider to probably aim. He only get hit because he scream
Dude can you make video about Call of Duty Ghosts,'s Extiction mode? Although it was forgotten because it was the black goat of the series, the alien pve mode was still quite fun.
Okay, my theory was that Frank was getting low dosages of Cordyceps from eating toast. Not enough to infect him; but just enough to affect his motor skills. Cordyceps spreading along the neurological system, not taking over -- but slowly making it so that he would no longer have control over his limbs.
A minor version of Tess losing control of her body as Cordyceps spread after her infection. At least that's where I thought they were going when talking about Cordyceps in the grains, and Frank asking for toast on his last day.
Bro, I just realized that I don't think that you ever covered the Las Plagas strain from Resident Evil...
Would you make a fellow nerd happy and cover that, please?
Hyped for the remake huh?
@LeoDe
Indeed I am. Already got it, just waiting for release 😁
Used to watch my brother play the original on the GameCube when I was little, and it'll just be nice to play it and experience it for myself.
I really like that the soldier with the long beard was the actor that played tommy in the games
Ep 3 had me crying like a bitch. Better ending then the cliff hanger ND left us. Show is a 10/10 so far.
If the rubbing noise is only when the wheel is moving then its very likely a bearing.
