I already wrote a gushing review about the genius of this game's story and the brilliance of it's ending. Now, it's time to show the game some more affection in the best way I know how: STUPID PARODY COMICS!!!!!
...and, let's face it, Joel and Ellie desperately need some levity in their lives.

This comic is based on one of my gameplay experiences. I was in a stairwell. There were about 4 or 5 guys shuffling around together in the nearby room. I placed a scissor-bomb right outside the door and waited for them to cross the threshold. Meanwhile Ellie was just chilling in the room right in front of them. I thought nothing of it (since enemies can't see your allies in this game), until Ellie LAUNCHED HERSELF ONTO ONE THUGS FACE LIKE AN INSANE KAMIKAZE NINJA!!!!!

Naturally, her victim's screaming caused them to scatter around, my carefully placed bomb only killed ONE GUY, and I was discovered (and slaughtered) by the rest of them. So much for my brilliant strategy! XD

Overall, Naughty Dog did a good job of making sure Joel's allies never got the player killed via stupid AI (and they were even helpful at times). But clearly there were still a few bugs here and there.

P.S. Please excuse the slight sloppiness of the comic. I drew it on a lunch break at work (and tweeked it later in Photoshop)
