Poor guy.<\/p>\n<p>Then again, maybe his existence wouldn&#8217;t be so bleak if he wasn&#8217;t a horrible, angry, bickering, confrontational, and borderline abusive human being. Maybe Bill&#8217;s curse isn&#8217;t living alone. Maybe his curse is being Bill. <\/p>\n<p>Observe at 14:45, Ellie does a yawn. This might be the first natural-looking yawn in videogames. A yawn is one of those expressions that usually looks horrifying when done in videogames. <\/p>\n<p>As they head into Pittsburgh, I joke that the zombies are gonna have the worst accent.

This is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=k4jn1L-riak\" title=\"Greg &#038; Donny Have An Accent\">my favorite example of the accent and the culture that surrounds it<\/a>. I&#8217;ve known quite a few Greg &#038; Donny types in my day. <\/p>\n<p>And now let&#8217;s nitpick this episode, because I can&#8217;t help myself.<\/p>\n<p>Frank hung himself in a house with the doors and windows closed. The stench of the rotting corpse should have been overpowering when they entered. It should have been strong just getting near the place. Now, you could argue that it&#8217;s been so long that the worst of the smell has dissipated. But if that&#8217;s the case, then there&#8217;s no way the body is in good enough condition to see bite marks. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Link (YouTube) It&#8217;s a credit to the game that after Bill was such an insufferable asshole I was able to feel sorry for him.
