The Last of Us Day 2023 Stream September 26, 2023

The Last of Us is a game that absolutely revolutionized the medium from the first day it was released, and despite it being released two console generations ago, the game’s enduring fandom has kept its spirit alive. The original game has seen multiple re-releases and remasters, and the plot of the original game has been adapted for television for HBO MAX, where it can be watched.

Every year on this date, Naughty Dog hosts The Last of Us Day, and this year is no exception. This is a big day for the game’s community, and while Naughty Dog has told us they could not release any new information about either a future game, or a follow up on the next season of the HBO MAX show, they did share this special concert by the legendary Troy Baker. Enjoy!

UPDATE: HBO MAX has released this documentary about the making of the first season of The Last of Us television show. I haven’t had the chance to finish watching the season yet (I’m only about halfway through with it) so I’m in no rush to watch it just yet, but any of you are welcome to watch it, and you can be sure I will be watching it once I’m finished watching the rest of the season.

The Last of Us, Part I is out now for PS3, PS4, and PS5. The Last of Us Part II is out now for PS4.

macOS 14 Sonoma Released September 26, 2023

Earlier today, Apple has released the latest macOS, Sonoma, for compatible Mac computers. The requirements for the new OS is pretty steep, and will not run on Apple computers that predate a 2017 release, with the exception of the 2017 iMac Pro.

The new OS comes with a ton of highly anticipated new features, and you can read all the details about the new features here. It weighs in at 6.5 GB. On an M1-powered Mac Mini, the update only took around twenty minutes. A sister update for the Mac Studio Display was also released, but cannot be installed until after the Sonoma update has concluded.

Normally I wouldn’t report about something like this on a gaming website. However, Apple is promising that this new OS will empower them to deliver more games for the Mac platform. Death Stranding: Director’s Cut is going to be coming out by the end of the year, and Apple says it will run on the current Apple Silicon computers.

An update, version 17.0.2, has also been released for iPhone and iPad devices this evening. The update is meant to assist with issues transferring data between iOS 17 devices. At this time there does not appear to be an update for Apple TV or Apple Watch.
