My son's grabbed a couple of Funko pops and we were on our way.

The negative reviews. I see on here are unfortunate. They either are visiting or they haven't been here enough to know how this really goes because I don't understand the negative reviews.

Sir, if 5 different retailers not including 3rd party sellers have it cheaper...including the local GameStop, you're not for the customer. Extreme halitosis.

I did a double take, and then told the family that we had to go visit. I had kind of heard about the Last Blockbuster on Earth, but I didn't realize it was in Bend until we stumbled upon it. Before going in, I got to explain to my kids what borrowing DVDs and VHS tapes was like back in the day. I must have had the biggest smile walking into the store. Along the walls were artifacts from the past - a Blockbuster sign, a striped sign showing upcoming releases, old movie posters, and even a blocked off area that was decorated like a family room from the 90s. Of course, there were the aisles of DVDs that people could rent from. Very different from Blockbusters in the past, this store had loads of Blockbuster apparel and other souvenirs. I thought they were very reasonably priced. I got a t-shirt for $20. If you were born in the 90s or before, you have to visit for the waves of nostalgia. If you were born afterwards, this store is still a must-see as a glimpse of our not so distant past.

(zombies that eat just about anything and drink water)...and you will come across them whether you like it or not. I enjoy taking a ride through the country, but the undead is not the true threat. It the humans you come across.   Think of this saying..."Only the strong shall surrive"  so what do you think happens to the weak? This would force people to band together. Strength in numbers right? Zombies, Gangs, Rapist , murderers and thieves.   I will finish by saying this.  People who shit on you aren't necessarily your enemy. People who get you out of shit aren't necessarily your friend.  So if you're warm and happy,  you should keep your big mouth shut. If you scream for help in this game, you don't know who will answer.  I look forward to seeing and exploring this open world game. I would also note that this gaming company has made the following games.  1996Bubsy 3DPlayStation1999 Syphon Filter 2000 Syphon Filter 2 2001 Syphon Filter 3 2004 Syphon Filter: The Omega Strain PlayStation 2 2006 Syphon Filter: Dark Mirror PlayStation Portable, PlayStation 2 2007 Syphon Filter: Logan's Shadow 2009 Resistance: Retribution PlayStation Portable 2011 Uncharted: Golden Abyss PlayStation Vita 2011 Uncharted: Fight for Fortune 2012 Days Gone PlayStation 4 2019 I was very surprised to learn Uncharted was on their list for the short lived Playstation Vita. What's  even mor amazing is the fact I aquired one only to sell it months later.  I watched the entire playthrough of Uncharted Golden Abyss and enjoyed this game as much as the playstation versions. I even remember reading something about Naughty Dog wanting other companies to take up the reins should Naughty Dog decided they are done with the Uncharted Series.   I did not know until now that some has done just that. Bend Studios took the challenge and made one hell of an Uncharted game for a Game Boy size system.  Unfortunately I have no idea what the other gams are like with the exception of Days Gone.  This company has been around since 1993 even it were under different names. What matters is they are here today and still kicking. The are two games I would for them to take up the mantel for. United Front's Sleeping Dogs II which was canceled. The other game would be The Darth Maul game which was also canceled by Lucas Arts.    There is good news from what I read a few days ago. Bend Studios is planning on a Days Gone II. This is still in the early stages so anything can happen. Nevertheless,  I will look forward to playing the sequel should it happen. The game will be on Playstation 5 when it does. I will buy that system too:)
