Survive an apocalypse on Earth in The Last of Us, a PlayStation 3-exclusive title by Naughty Dog. Here, you will find abandoned cities reclaimed by nature. Here is a population decimated by a modern plague. Here, there are only survivors killing each other for food, weapons, or whatever they can get their hands on. Here, you find no hope. Joel, a brutal survivor, and Ellie, a brave young teenage girl who is wise beyond her years, must work together if they hope to survive their journey across the US.

This is why it’s important to exfoliate.

Much has been made about the human enemies of Naughty Dog’s The Last of Us. But what about the plague of mushroom people that wander the post-apocalyptic Earth? Well, they’re in the video below, obviously.

As you probably surmised, some of the fungal undead are a bit blind. How the world was conquered by blind monsters is anyone’s guess, but the end of the trailer seems to suggest that it involved a lot of neck-biting.

The Last Of Us will hit PlayStation 3 on May 7th, 2013.

    Like the idea of being stealthy against zombies that can one-hit kill you. Refreshing change from the gun-ho, Leeroy Jenkins style of tactics done in so many other games.

    One bite from a infected person is a game over.

    They certainly sound unnerving.

    All I could think about when i read about fungal zombies was “Sugar” with SOAD

    “People are always chasing me down,
    Trying to push my face to the ground,
    Where all they really want to do,
    Is suck out my mother fucking brains, my brains (sugar).

    The kombucha mushroom people”

    I don’t know why.

    It reminds me of “Siren” but with blind people.
