Sacred Symbols, Episode 349 | The Last of Us, Seriously

You’d be surprised.

The Rose Experience

Instead of actually discussing you end up being a rude jackass. The point being is you didn’t even represent what I said correctly. Not worth discussing with someone who just insults everyone.

PairOfShuse

the fact that some random guy like you can just say "CHIROPRACTORS ARE GOOD" when there's tons of proof that they're mostly quacks who will destroy your bones is proof that the internet was a mistake. Whatever reply you come up with will just reinforce my point, you're a complete fool.

Supes

Wow, I just know Colin getting some time with Phil Spencer would give us the best and most revealing interview with him yet. I always wish other interviewers had even an iota of the mind and balls to ask the questions Colin does

David P

I couldn’t believe what I was hearing regarding Gears of War Multiplayer lol. That’s literally the only reason I’d like to revisit the games. The MP was my favorite part.

Adam Martinez

I always thought it was second only to Halo. My Xbox friends group exclusively played gears for multiplayer.

Knightsofray

It is, Colin saying a lot of wacky shit lately. And Chris not correcting wild too considering he's the xbox guy

Bailey Callis

LOL how is this level of delusion even possible

Grosface

Am I crazy or is gears mp not a huuuge selling point of the series?

Tyler

Jesus, even wonder woman's defenders forget about her lasso.

David P

Chris fits that surface level political redditor

Ahlickaloo

It's because he's a clean freak

Bailey Callis

Did Colin really ask "whose gonna play that" about Gears multiplayer??? Uuuuh, how about your wife?

Bailey Callis

Civ 7 on PS5 is great and I'm having a blast. Not a single crash or error so far.

Michael Rogers

"yeah...I dunno....I had to wake up early" send this guy to the fucking quarry

Andrew

yikes o-rino my guy he should definitely not say the heckin bad word!!!

Andrew

enjoy your Indian hellscape because you don't want to be racist

Andrew

Chris sees Trump for what he is, as does the rest of the world, a egotistical nutjob with no thought being his policies except what he's read on Twitter that day. Colin gives him too much credit

Murderer Kevin

Note to self, never click a comment section again, holy hell some of you are miserable.

Andrew Walsh

Canadians threatening to boycott modern AAA western games. 😂 Those games already flopped last year.

WashedAF

silly doge boy, im american! funny how you assumed incorrectly though and very on brand for someone like you. enjoy the rest of your night!

peanutbutterloveer

Chris doesn’t play games heads eating good lately

Ryan

AND YOU CAN KNOW IT is the newest colinism

Gooch Gobbler

It’s still you, you’re literally the woahjak meme crying with the smiling mask on, also Canada is a joke your new governer is somehow even worse

DOGE enthusiast

Well said!

Mike Maurice

Trudeau is a theater kid

Ahlickaloo

WE ARE THE COLINITES

Ahlickaloo

Canada, like the rest of the free world, should distance itself from the US as much and as quickly as possible. You’re all Russia’s useful idiots now. The sooner you wake up to this and rejoin the civilised world the better.

Bulbous_Bow

Yo i can't wait for terminator 2 no fate. My dickhard.

Frank G.

woah who's the one with red crying eyes now? sorry if I touched a nerve by just stating your username

peanutbutterloveer

It doesn’t need to be, you’re the joke we’re literally laughing at you how are you to dense to get that?

DOGE enthusiast

yeah the second time making that joke isn’t any funnier sadly :/

peanutbutterloveer

Did you type that with the same red crying eyes governer Trudeau gave his speech with? Lol

DOGE enthusiast

Yeah, they cared little about being flooded with millions of foreigners and a massively declining standard of living, but tariffs of all things set them off.

Thomas

I kept being told that federal workers could get much higher paying jobs in the private sector but kept working public sector jobs out of the goodness of their hearts. Why would they have trouble getting another job?

Thomas

Sounds to me like you’re a fucking idiot that can’t read but hey, we’re just theorizing here. Nowhere did I endorse the CPC, I espoused the facts that they are polling a majority for over a year now. If you live here, you know this. Sorry that bothers you, but you can vote when our coward prime minister stops crying like a pussy on TV, goes back to the job he’s running from and calls the election Canadians want.

The Rose Experience

100%

Robbie Agnew

Sounds to me like you’re just another super smart super informed super intelligent and totally not algorithm brain soup that believes the deep state is real and open and unrelenting corruption is what we all need. CPC being backed by Musk, tells you all you need to know!

Gonçalo Ferreira

The DC and Wonder Woman slander coming from a filthy One Piece fan is rich

Braxton Wilkerson

Well said. Go Canada!

Robbie Agnew

The beginning of Atomic Heart is peak gaming tbh. But when you get into the open world it gets really bad and boring. It's poorly designed and the constantly respawning enemies make it a chore.

Birds Aren't Real

Or, we could have been allowed to oust our failed PM who literally resigned because his party didn’t want him and he had a 19% approval rating, then we could deal with the problems. Instead, government is shut down and Trudeau runs from an election hell lose in a landslide and exploits these tariff’s to desperately garner sympathy under some patriotic sense that he’s tried to stamp out for 7 years. Booing an anthem is for misinformed peasants. It’s low hanging fruit by the uneducated masses who have no clue why we’re in the mess we are in.

The Rose Experience

Yes, we are. Our political representation is an embarrassment of virtue signalling bullshit and it has cost us dearly.

The Rose Experience

Canadian here and some explanation. The 2% number is a misnomer as that’s not remotely representative of the issue, which is huge. At this point we have large busts weekly in Canada and it’s my understanding that recently we busted the BIGGEST lab in NA history. We have a failure of a prime minister who has the lowest approval rating in Canadian political history that has spent years hand waving this issue until Trump forced his hand to address it. Now, he’s exploiting it to stay in office and revive his dead political party who is set to lose to the CPC in a majority the likes not seen in modern politics. Trudeau hasn’t had a functioning government in months during this ‘crisis’ as he’s running from an election. He’s slow played Canada’s response to use these tariff’s for political gain. It’s as apparent as all hell and I’m embarrassed more don’t see this. Unfortunately the average person just lets media dictate mindset with no thought to actually learn and read, just headlines and selective outrage. Our biggest bank, TD had to pay a 3 billion dollar fine last year for laundering cartel money. That’s not a lie, that’s what it was for and there are extensive reports of Chinese infiltration at major levels as well as the cartel’s. Canada has massive issues and we put ourselves here, not Trump. Ultimately, Trump is a petty man, most in power are and this has to do with Trudeau talking a lot of beta shit due to believing he’d never be in office again, so here we are. I can go on and on about this, but Americans who sympathize with Canada need to learn about it instead of just yelling “Orange Man Bad” Also, the laughable hypocrisy of my fellow Canadians who suddenly found their patriotism is embarrassing. They didn’t do shit when our flag was being torn down, burned and our monuments chucked to the ground during COVID and the Palestinian protests. They said nothing about the taxes and plummeting standards of living under the Trudeau government that make these tariff’s look like a tickle. Now suddenly we’re Canada first? Spare me the bullshit. Boycott American while spending $300 at American owned Costco like fucking retards while acting like you’re somehow sticking it to the USA. Ask me anything if you’d like to know more about this as I can enlighten further.

The Rose Experience

Solid eppy

Robbie Agnew

During your downtime inbetween games you're looking forward to, I am once again asking Colin to revisit Atomic Heart. "Russian Bioshock". The trophies have been fixed.

WhatDarrenPlays

Autopopping platinums makes you a bitch.

Adam Barnes

respect to chris for pushing back on the tariff convo against colin a bit on how the whole thing is just stupid. colin trying to justify it is just wild but it is what it is at this point.

peanutbutterloveer

For the record: I will never call Dagan by that nickname and you shouldn’t either.

NeO JD

ah yes “doge enthusiast” calling someone else soft, the irony is palpable

peanutbutterloveer

Really liked Copenhagen Cowboy, hoping for a season 2. I thought Too old to die young was good. Only one I’ve disliked is Only God Forgives, which was a huge letdown bc I love Drive.

Jimmy Jo

I think the first Gears of War gets shorter every time Colin mentions it. Pretty soon it’ll be a 2-hour game. Meanwhile, HLTB has the average campaign completion at 9 hours with 6.5 hours on the low end. Gears 2 has 10 hours and Gears 3 has 9.5 hours.

Mike R

Not to mention the fact that you are not guaranteed this money. Elon made this promise. Not the government. It hasn't gone through any approval that I'm aware of. You're likely to give up your job and be told you're not getting that pay because it hasnt been approved by congress.

Paul Knickerbocker

Colin is a millionaire, he’s not in tuned with the average man

Brandon Tyler

Yeah 8 months pay just to be thrown into the worst job market ever unless you’re geared for retirement is fucked seven ways from Sunday.

Have you considered considering considerations considerately considerate

Easy solve. Term limits on all government elected positions

TheWubbz

Man, shout out to you. NWR is one of my favorite film makers next to alfonso cuarón, guillermo del toro and Sean Baker. How did you like "Too old to die young" and "copenhagen cowboy"? Personally loved both.

Jonathan Turner

I think he wants to use it in its hacked state.

Mike R

I’ll add that the month-by-month announcement and delay of Canada/Mexico tariffs could on its own cause a recession in the US if it continues, because of the huge economic uncertainty that causes preventing new investments, hiring, product development, etc.

Look after yourself Christopher!

Tim

Chris is here almost dying and still working for our entertainment. Respect!

Breno Bezerra Bluhm

Neil “I have concepts of a game” Druckmann. 😂 I guess I always assumed there would be a third game and now I don’t know how I would feel if Part 2 was the end. Hope it’s as Chris says and they are waiting for new tech. Curious if they will have a divergence point with the show.

Louis Armstrong transforms into Louis Strongarm by shouting WOW, Shazam-style

I’ve noticed it too. every time colin complains about literacy levels, there’s a huge uptick in people writing like Colin in the comments or next show. I like to call them colinites. They also parrot his takes all the time, mostly the terrible ones specific to Colin that can’t be found elsewhere.

Caleb Peacock

"I can't believe more people didn't take it." ~00:20:00 Probably because, I don't know, these were many people's career jobs. 8 month's pay is NOTHING by contrast to investing in a govt career, building towards a pension, etc. Living in the DMV, I know many, many, many federal employees, and this situation has been massively destructive to the livelihoods of many. At any rate, nice episode as always.

Lunar Tear

Hey Chris thanks for powering through.

Have you considered considering considerations considerately considerate

Big fan of Nicolas Winding Refn. His Pusher movies are amazing..not for everyone though.

Jimmy Jo

I think he's just winging it. He once mentioned he doesn't even know what the exercises he's doing are called. Uses the same amount of weight for all exercises. Doesn't take rest days. He seems to not really work out properly at all. It's better than doing nothing, but it also led to his injury.

Mike Held

Colin did you say your mam is 75?!? She looks fantastic!!!!

Cormac

Chris is sick, feel better soon!

Cyprus Davis

Bro monster hunters gameplay is great, but on ps5 pro, there are issues here that are completely unacceptable. It really does look like a PS3 game at times

Beaver diva

question about the ps2 anniversary... Colin starts talking about NES library being goated. Love this show

Josh Daniel

Please enjoy each word equally.

hopscotchington

Chris sounds better in this episode (less gay)

Colin using a cat as a living fleshlight

What’s the ‘n-word’?

Adam Barnes

Do you guys remember that time, back before video, Chris recorded while lying down in bed and he sounded super weird because of it?

Oliver Johnson

This isn’t the first time Neil has pretended like a sequel wasn’t happening. I would never believe a word that guy says.

RIPIT

I just skip every Xbox related topic or I’ll go insane lol

JustOkJeremy

Stop gaslighting the audience, it’s Colin’s new chair that squeaks.

Adam Barnes

Returnal also has active reloading

Heezy

Did you see governer Trudeau all red eye’d from crying giving his speech? Softer than baby shit lol

DOGE enthusiast

"Be pithy" he says

Aaron B Vick

You’re slipping boy, do better next week ❤️

Adam Barnes

There is so much cope in this answer. Where did I say I needed a single answer to anything? I just pointed out hypocrisy. It’s ironic you are saying people can’t be open minded anymore, so black and white. Where was I not open minded? In fact, I didn’t even give my full opinion. It has nothing to do with age and maturity. Some people like certain things in entertainment and others like other things. That’s maturity - realizing everyone isn’t like you without going on a little tirade like you just did. Everyone is free to have an opinion on something and a preference or even a preference in certain instances and some in others. I specifically said, go listen to the episode about Mad Men on Knockback where he and his brother, who is older, married and has two kids says the women in it are hot. The ironic thing in my end is I don’t give a fuck about celebrities in general nor have these little celebrity crushes that everyone seems to have. You think people don’t give a fuck about what Ellie looks like in the last of us? TONS of people do. Whether it’s that she’s a woman, how she looks in if she’s blood thirsty or dolled up - you think the game would not have some type of cognitive dissonance if she was in a dress and had tons of make up on? You care what she looks like, just in this instance, in a different way. There are people who are super invested in a child game characters sexuality, which is kind of odd (not so in the second game). I don’t care if someone thinks a character is hot or not, if they are made hot or not (unless it’s weird when they go out of their way to make characters ugly), but I’m also not going to tell people if they can or can’t want a certain thing in their games. No one does this about movies or music artists - people in real life, every day, married or not, talk about how hot actors and actresses are, if Megan Thee Stallion is hot or not. I literally see it all the time with a variety of ages and genders of people. Maybe you should take your own advice and stop talking down to everyone and calling people immature and close minded. Also ironically, I’d half agree with your point but your condescension and bad attitude needed checked

PairOfShuse

They’re simply writing in Colinese

Noah Friscopp

On point one, it depends on your age and maturity. Do you really think a man over 35, married or with kids is that bothered about someone being ‘hot’? PlayStation is an old brand. 35-45 year olds are a massive audience now. We don’t give a fuck what Elly looks like in TLOU, for example. In my teens and 20’s yes, of course, I preferred a hot woman like you say. I’m fed up of you or others ‘needing’ a single answer to everything. Like people can’t be open minded or something anymore. So black or white. So, it depends on age, obviously.

Matt

Canadians are so fucking soft lmao

ChristianLikeTheReligion

I don't know about you but I'm pretty amped for a 250% tariff on Canadian milk

Eating so much pussy I'm shitting clit

Yesterday I was driving to work and I rubbed my eyes and my contact fell out. I was on the freeway so I couldn’t stop right away and look for it. Got to work and it fell on the plastic covering the transmission. Thank god. Put some solution on that bitch carried on. It was a moment of panic for sure.

Tanner Denso

I’ve been to a few chiropractors since I have some connective tissue issues and some back problems. I’ve only had one chiropractor who could adjust my lower back a certain way and the others all would make it worse BUT everything else they have helped with. My posture and habits aren’t the greatest though and with the connective tissue disorder, it makes it hard with stuff in general. Massage and chiropractic have helped though.

PairOfShuse

wanna provide proof? a number of them are but that can be saId about most professions. My chiropractor helps quite a bit

KItty Crew

U.S. goods are taxed at a way higher rate in Canada and Mexico. What is wrong with wanting some leverage in a making a deal to change that?

Tyler Stafford

Does Colin address popping the "N-word"?

joefray_

“Who’s going to play Gears online?” This fucking guy dude….

CUMSoftware

The issue with the Canadian/US border isn’t what is caught at the border. The issue is the deregulation of the Canadian trucking industry (going back to 2018 that led into Covid), and the security at the border. The deregulation has made it easier for the supply to get further into the country in addition to other products. that deregulation is why it isn’t caught at the border. You can argue whether tariffs will help or not, and I’d guess I’m the longterm it all shakes out, but that’s the core of the issue in “simple” terms. It’s clearly more complicated

Jeff in NOLA

The PS3 will be updated perpetually until people stop using it. It's not being updated to mess with CFW.. it's being updated for the Blu-ray encryption keys. The PS3 doesn't have the functionality that other Blu-ray players have where they get them from the disks. The PS3 has to receive them manually in the form of these anual software updates.

Birds Aren't Real

My Grandpa wore those wraparound shades my whole life up until he passed last month. I need to find a pair of his and rock them when I drive.

CriiWolf

Portal pro tip: if you’re in range of your PS5, you can just use your Pulse headset wirelessly.

Stephen Lucey

I would say since he wants to re-negotiate it definitely was a failure. But I think going into trying to negotiate again, saying you failed makes you look weak in any situation even if it’s true. My whole point is, is I think it’s just not the US’s fault in this and other countries acting like they are being stabbed in the back is either misleading, acting holier than thou, or ignorant of what each country is doing to each other. Granted a lot of companies go to Mexico to produce so they can screw over workers money wise. Cheap labor. The Mexico thing is definitely a different and way worse situation than anything with Canada. The cartels would really only be taken out by military intervention most likely and I doubt Mexico wants to (if they even could) and I doubt they would let the US go in and do it.

PairOfShuse

I’m just teasing a little. Real talk though, if he crafted a bad trade agreement last time, why should we believe he would do better this time? For that matter (this would never happen), how about he show a touch of self-reflection and admit where he failed and how he would improve trade? Either way, two people discussing it online isn’t going to have an effect, so I suppose we’ll have to wait and see what happens.

Louis Armstrong transforms into Louis Strongarm by shouting WOW, Shazam-style

I know and I was choosing to not engage in a negative way. My point still stands it isn’t just on the US/Trump. It’s all three.

PairOfShuse

I was being cheeky. Trump did the USMCA, that was the joke.

Louis Armstrong transforms into Louis Strongarm by shouting WOW, Shazam-style

Epic trolling bro

Mick Mac

Please do even the slightest bit of research on Most Favored Nation tariffs, imposed by both Canada and the U.S. on each other, that have been in place for decades. Economic tariffs on certain industries are common, Trump has ulterior motives for this nonsense. Not even ulterior, he proudly wants Canada to become a state. He wants those “rare earths”. On Mexico, if you think Mexico can simply change something quickly to stop the cartels because of 25% tariffs on avocados then you’re going to be surprised. Mexico and the U.S. should be working together on the issue, not be pushed further apart through arbitrary tariffs. Someone with a brain must have explained to Trump that imposing these tariffs may negatively affect his approval ratings because he’s too much of a pussy to actually implement them. Expect another “delay” to the tariffs next month.

Mick Mac

Chris is sick every 4 episodes.

Mitch Orobko

Pretty much. I’d say all three of them are at fault. Mexico is a different story because of the cartels, horrible illegal immigration’s etc, but any one of the three countries acting like we are great friends and would never screw each other over in trade are being disingenuous.

PairOfShuse

Yeah, whoever signed the United States-Mexico-Canada agreement did an awful job.

Louis Armstrong transforms into Louis Strongarm by shouting WOW, Shazam-style

I do think it’s stupid when Colin is like, who cares if Wonder Woman is hot. People thought she was even during the old live action show. Go back and listen to Knockback where Colin and Dagan say the women in that show are hot multiple times. It obviously has an effect. It’s not going to make you watch the show but it doesn’t take away. For PS2. I worked cutting grass for my parents and paid for half of it and my parents paid the other half. I got the original Devil May Cry with it. Only console I ever had that messed up was my original ps1 (though it was given to me in horrible condition) and my launch ps4 didn’t work right out of the box. Had to send it in to Sony The whole talk about Canada and the US is so inane. Everyone acting like the US is the problem is looking at things in a very one sided way. You think Canada doesn’t put tariffs on US goods to insane degrees or they don’t let certain American businesses in their country as well? People can do whatever they want with their money but this whole Canada does nothing wrong thing is foolish as well. Be mad at the governments if you want but why take it out on LSM?

PairOfShuse

lol what sovereignty

Stephen Lucey

I've noticed this too. People seem to just be doing it so they are more likely to be featured on the show since Colin seems to enjoy reading questions framed in that way.

Caleb Jurgens

I would 100% opt for a physical therapist before even considering any type of surgery. Also, I’d be really curious what Colin’s exact routine is. I don’t recall hearing him say he did any type of rows or deadlifts. I think you’re probably bound to start getting out of balance eventually without any lifts for your back.

Louis Armstrong transforms into Louis Strongarm by shouting WOW, Shazam-style

Definitely what I thought of first, X-Men a close second!

Noah Friscopp

Bishop is the iconic android from Aliens

Vanzant

Anytime y'all talk about comic book characters that aren't Batman or Spider-Man, I have to just dissociate lest I risk going insane.

DJChazzyCheff

It’s their anthem too, they just don’t know it yet, the current governor of Canada is a joke

DOGE enthusiast

This is a Goonbox

Zac

Whoops wrong pod!

Zac

It was in Defining Duke actually. It’s addressed

Have you considered considering considerations considerately considerate

Where did someone write in about it? I’m pretty far into the episode and haven’t heard it?

Bogey

Really can’t stand the people that write in and treat it like a writing prompt in an English class trying to impress the professor. Like the Dagster write in Like why do yall talk like that? Can yall just talk normally?

Bogey

Dustin I literally just bought a new 3rd xl off eBay that’s black, I literally saw that galaxy new 3rd xl with a seller with no reviews and decided not to buy it because of that. Crazy coincidence.

Brandon Tyler

I hope Dustin properly reset the 3DS as hacked 3DS usually don't get wiped correctly after a factory reset.

dopewasher

Nah, most chiropractors do the same thing over and over and don’t tailor to the specific patient. People who say this have never went or saw results from it. Is some of the teaching outlandish? Absolutely. You aren’t going to heal chronic disease from it. But it can help certain things and some of it makes sense. Coming from someone in the medical field, people will say chiropractors are quacks yet the medicine we swallow will have studies paid for by the people making the medication. A lot of shady stuff in pharmaceuticals as well. And no, I’m not a chiropractor

PairOfShuse

Most chiropractors are quacks

awesomo55

I'm so sorry Americans are upset at their anthem being booed. The Canadians should just put up and shut up about the US president constantly denigrating their sovereignty and making aggressive postures towards "acquiring" their country I guess.

David D

Wish you a quick recovery Mr ray gun.

Hashim Barakat

Dustin's used 3ds find reminds me of the Nintendo lot I just saw on FB Marketplace. A top loader NES w/ original packaging and about 20 games (final fantasy, zelda, metal gear, etc) many w/ manuals for 150.00. It was some older guy and a local sale only. I saw it 20 mins after posting and it already had a buyer. It was too good to be true, but it was. The guys page and sales history looked normal.

LongJohnSivers#1Fan

Yeah, I was thinking it was Chris squeaking, but since he hadn’t mentioned getting a new chair, I wasn’t sure. A squeaky pen satisfies my curiosity. Thanks.

Louis Armstrong transforms into Louis Strongarm by shouting WOW, Shazam-style

Colin, Dead serious about this - go to a chiropractor. It won’t fix your back completely but I am willing to bet it will make a huge improvement. I have alot of joint and spine issues and every time I’ve went, I’ve felt way better besides one guy I went to. It does depend on how good the chiropractor is though. I honestly think it would help get your back closer to baseline. You obviously still have to make changes long term but it will bring some relief (at least from personal experience)

PairOfShuse

Zac

Using a 3ds for gooning is crazy. That's desperation. Smartphones were available concurrently.

LongJohnSivers#1Fan

Agree on the Wonder Woman point

A Hind D

It was definitely Sweet Brown. Watch the video.
