EXCELLENT TIMING INDEED

ANY OTHER READERS LOOKING AT THIS BE AWARE THERE ARE SPOILERS FOR EVERYTHING RIONA HAS SAID

I won't give you even the slightest indication of events, then! But the stuff you've already gotten to is pretty great, right? Even watching other people play the bit where Joel is slowly collapsing but still has to fight is very stressful. Every Let's Player I've seen was severely vocally distressed. JOEL, TRYING TO WALK AROUND AFTER HAVING BEEN IMPALED BY REBAR IS NOT A GOOD THING. I watched a "making of" video and the writer said originally he'd had a montage of Ellie patching up Joel and getting him to the house, but then decided it would be more effective to not let the player know for a while, so the reveal--"Medicine!"--would be more effective. On one hand, that's excellent writing; on the other hand, that's pure evil.
