Bitter snow crashes against the window of your small room in Jackson. You shiver as you try not to think of the cordyceps that ravaged your patrol. Thank goodness you made it away in time before the creatures could pursue you.
This week David, Alex and  @DarthdYT  are joined by returning guest Danielle from  @levelstoryplays  to talk about The Last of Us Season 2's opening salvo.
Massive spoilers for this one folks.
