Absol-lutelty awesome!

The Last of us (TLOU) is an amazing game taking setting during our time at this very moment, all the way until almost 21 years later. In this game you play as a man in his 40s named Joel who is tasked with the hardest job he's ever had, but a little something stands in his way on his journey. At the beginning of the game, the fungi known as Cordecyps has mutated to attack humans, mutating them into aggressive mindless murderers. And who are they after? Why every person they see of course! And you aren't left out! Work your way through heart thumping areas that require a quick wit and a good eye, because this game, believe it or not, is very stealth oriented. Sure you can whip out your shotgun and go to town, but it's not reccomended! Supplies are very limited in this game, and it is not forgiving of your mistakes by even a bit. This game contains a multitude of difficulties, each a different experience than the last, from easy to surviver, and if you're crazy and grab the grounded difficulty DLC and beat that, I have mad respect! Not only is the story and single player experience one of the best of its time, and mantifests again for the PS4 in the remastered version, this game has one of the most unique multiplayer experiences ever called Factions! Join one of two factions within the apocalyptic world this game takes place in and play one of three game modes! Each different than another! Unlike games like cod and battlefield, this game relies heavily on emphasizing that if you try to play it like a FPS, then you are lost in the world of Factions, and will die more times than you could keep track of. So take a tip, stick to your team! I Definently reccomend this amazing game! This is the all purpose TLOU Thread, meaning questions, locations, secrets, tips, etc, and of course factions! Make sure to share a loadout or two for all the new guys too! I was so surprised this hadn't been made yet! This game is fantastic, and the multiplayer isn't just a stupid tack on for the game to look at, it's a whole other way to play! Quick Question, any Factions mode bow tips and/or loadouts? It performs really different in multi vs single. Also tfw you first see bloater http://youtu.be/bld81R_VpswI

No, you should've expected a pokemon to appear silly. Zeph?

ER MAH GERD!

Sorry I was so late! Just a bunch of stuff in the way, but I'm back and ready now! By the way I was a bit confused, does that mean I CAN put Sharpedo in a ball or no?

Just a bit shocked at all the hoopla, Jake jumped up a bit as the gyrados roared and backed up slowly as the two grunts closed in. "Uhh... Uhmm... Yeah that's nice that you have a big scary gyrados and the scary look and all... But uh... Ehehe... It's funny see I just uh... Was uhmm..." He looked down at the shard and remembered that this WAS the mission in his very hands. He couldn't dare give it up, but it looked to be yhat he was outnumbered and not in the greatest position either. "Ok guys listen. I went through the work to uhh... (Trying to soften the impact of the sentence) borrow this for a minute... To just... Maybe... Perhaps... Possibly... Give it to... Alina?... : D............. -,-' Not amused I see?..." He stuffed the shard in his backpack, closed it up and threw a hoop over his right shoulder. "Alright, I'll set it straight, you'll have to drag me kicking and screaming to get this from me, got it?" Jake could tell that It was pretty obvious they would be ok with that, and he backed up to the wall of the ship getting ready for the worst moment of his life... That is if he would still have one... He turned to his pokemon and gave them the straight truth, "It was a nice run, boys... But I think we've met the cliff..." (!) he turned as he heard a sound coming over the ice! And it was the stuff of miracles! he gave thanks to God as many times as he could before he ran out of breath as he saw Alina and Sonny approach! He felt the great rise of confidence in his chest as they came looking ready for a scrap. "Wow, I can't thank you guys enough for this! Now let's show this bunch who's boss, huh? I'll get that starmie! Easy target for a team like mine!" He was about to command his Deino, Z, to attack the Starmie, considering it was the ultimate counter for his opponent, but before he could he was cut off as his new friend Sharpedo burst a hole through the ice and landed in the water with a splash. "Ok... Fair enough then... Thanks for coming out Sharpedo! I can't thank you enough for the help buddy!" He turned to Sonny and Alina accordingly with a nod and an assuring firey smirk, "You guys ready to kick some Team Shadow tail?"

A blue moon? AME

Gotcha

Today I learned you never. EVAR, even if it's the quietest whisper, EVAR say a girl has on too much makeup, they have super hearing man. I had to hide under a textbook hoping she would stop lecturing me and go away! Im so lucky my face went unslapped today...

I'm so tough when I hit my knee on a brick wall I only said ouchy once.

But wait, what about the other characters with pokeballs, and crates, and... Ok screw it im editing.

Jake was surprised when he saw the two men move into position beside some crates, in the room just ahead of him, behind said crates he overheard a conversation involving what sounded like a "sky shard"... Deep within his mind it rang a bell, but he was lost as to where that would be from... He quit trying to get any sort of transmission, and simply decided he'd he to work on his own terms. "Now it's time to think logically... Guards, loud voices, and..." He stopped as he saw lum berries come rolling by, which he swiped up an armful of and chewed down on one happily before thinking seriously again. "... And they're talking about something important... Yep, should go there!" He looked through a small hole in the crate at the two men standing at the door... "It would be foolish to take them on... Two fully grown men would be exceptionally hard to take on, plus it would create a ruckus, ensuring capture. Not good. If he threw a lum berry to make noise... No they'd see it..." He itched his brain for a plan, seeing as if he left his spot the two men would see him... He put his hand on his combat knife, but shook his head and let go, there weren't many options... "Ah! Right! Trickery is the thing I'm best at, let's play that game!" He turned to his Zorua, Mirage, and spoke of a plan involving its power of illusion, "Alright listen up, you're going to transform to a form similar to me, and make a run down the hall, the men will chase you! So make sure you find your way back here as soon as you lose them." The Zorua nodded its head with pride, took a deep breath, and spun in a purple vortex, moments later looking exactly like Jake. "Spot on! Now run for it!" Jake threw a berry to get the men's attention and the two guards turned to see Zorua-Jake spanking his butt at them and sticking out his tongue before running away with the two men shortly behind. "I hope you're safe out there bud... Alright, moving on... It's time!" The boy and his pokemon crept into the room quietly positioning themselves in a dark area of the room behind some boxes, and looked up to see some men working at a few crates, clearly looking intently for something while packing the crates at a very pushed pace. He noticed a strange person yelling at them and felt a powerful vibe come from the unidentified person... Clearly dangerous... He was considering something to do in this situation... He could use his pokemon to annoy the grunts at work and take the important shard while they were distracted... But the terrifying person would most obviously see him. However... When he looked at one of the men he saw a very familiar face... It... Couldn't have been... It was... No doubt... One of the men at work, very silent and quick about himself, was without a doubt... Mark. (Conspiracy! : 0) However he denied it, it had to be him... He was very surprised when Mark opened a crate revealing a stone for all to see that the grunts seemed to be interested in. "That must be the whosawat shard they were talking about! Boys, get in the there and distract them while I grab the shard! We gotta go!" His houndour, sneasel, Riolu, and Deino rushed out accordingly making loud noise and hitting the person holding the shard while Jake rushed out, grabbing the shard as it fell and waved goodbye tauntingly to everyone in the room. He knew deep within his heart he was most definently screwed. The grunts had began to chase him, and Jake made a straight bolt for the door pokemon in tow, throwing berries behind him to do the old slip on the marbles trick incase he had any pursuers to hopefully slow them, as he ran out the door, he noticed his Zorua bolt around the corner and hop into his backpack, but could hear running coming from the other end, he hadn't lost the two guards! Jake jumped out into the hole in the wall, landing on thick ice, and crashing through it into the water... Feeling loss of conscience, he was losing grip on the shard and his pokemon. But after a minute he felt a very strong slam on his back, turning to see a blurry blue figure in the shape of a torpedo bringing him to the surface, and throwing him onto the ice. He awoke a minute or two later to see his savior still in place, and without a doubt was a sharpedo! It had apparently taken a like to him, and he did the only thing he could do. he had slowly moved his hand forward, and put it up to the Sharpedo, suspecting a bond. Surprisingly, the pokemon bit the air after a few moments of calmness, which sent Jake back a bit with terror, but surely enough, it was kidding just to scare him. He knew he'd have to make a stop at home to deposit some of these pokemon as soon as he could, taking care of more than 4 pokemon was a lot to handle, so he had to get rid of 2 when he arrived home... He put the Sharpedo's ball in whatever space he had left, and noticed something. The shard was gone! Looking through the ice, he saw a faint glimmer at the bottom... "!" "ARE YOU KIDDING!?" He thought for a moment before he had his big lightbulb, he sent out Sharpedo, sitting on its back, and he took a deep breath, asking it to dive down. At the bottom a few moments later he saw undersea pokemon everywhere, but he couldn't waste a moment, he grabbed the crystal and they went back up. He placed the shard Upon the ice next to his backpack, and waved goodbye to his new friend, hoping he could come to see it again one day. He dare not re-enter the ship remembering what he'd seen... And awaited someone to arrive to hopefully take the shard off his hands first.

So I'll make a move, and then they show up later. Gotcha.

Druggies down by...

XD Impacience unintended, that was a way to move along. Now I may be stupid for asking, but am I in the same area as these guys?

Actually just arceus...

You all realize im male right? And that Kenny is male right? M80s in arms and nothing more XD

Lol I'm still laughing at this. And still happy I don't have a ship too XD

You crazy, we only swam about a quarter kilo with a few breaks XD Course we wouldn't get there in a minute, I expected it would be done already to be fair.

Hearing thuds everywhere, and noticing the guard ahead of him look about stirring, he feared detection very greatly as he heard another person coming from the other side of the hall and hid between the 2 boxes hoping he wouldn't be seen before he could get a reply about his next move. and frantically tried to get a weak psychic signal to at least anyone. "H-hello? I'm in a dangerous spot here! Anyone! Contact! There's a guy ahead of me stirring about because of the noise, and another one coming to inspect with him! If they close in on me... Listen, if they see me I'm screwed! How should I advance?"

So I was cruising the Internet and saw a thread called "Average adult vs combat trained 5 year olds" First thought about thread maker: Zeph?

I'm so tough I swam with a broken leg. Oh I'm sorry, was this supposed to be made up? XD

Now that Sharpedo has a mega, it went from a rarely seen sweeper, to a Mega, and with that, an even more dangerous physical stat. Now I myself dwell on dark types very often, I've used mega Houndoom, mega absol etc, but now that Sharpedo makes an entrance, I couldn't have thought I'd see a better opportunity. So it came to me... Teamed with a bunch of tanks, and a few special sweepers in play, maybe even a baton passer, this thin could be devastating. For example, Lead off with something like ferrothorn, get up leech seeds and stealth rocks to weaken the enemies, and start attacking with power whip. After a few enemies get knocked out or lose some health from being sent into stealth rocks, it's the perfect time for cleanup, and in comes speed boost sharpedo. I was thinking something like Sharpedo(mega) Ability: speed boost--> strong jaw Evs: max atk/max spd/ 4 spdef or hp. Moves: waterfall/ earthquake Ice fang/ poison fang/ destiny bond Crunch Protect/ destiny bond Another honorable mention: Aqua Jet Now here's the tough bit. Destiny bond and poison fang come into play... Protect is good for the speed boost on the first turn before mega... But then again, sharpedo is already blazing fast, and may not even need the speed boost. Questions: 1. do destiny bond or poison fang belong anywhere in this set? 2. Last 4 evs in spdef of hp? 3. Any suggestions? Thanks!

^ wow Mael... That's crazy... I'm so tough, spooky scary skeletons only scare me a little.

GONNA QUICKSCOPE SOME BURDS M8
