The best game-to-screen adaptation yet? The Emmys might agree HBO’sThe Last of Usis an outstanding adaptation of Naughty Dog’s grim zombie-survival action game, and a rare exception tothe rule that most video game movies and TV shows are pretty terrible. That’s not really news to anyone by now, but what is news is that The Last of Us’ excellence has helped it make history as the first live-action adaptation of a video game to be nominated for any major awards....

Gambler’s tenancy I started with cats. They lapped up all the milk I could get them, earning me splatters of coins plus a further boost from a lucky early beastmaster. I threw some toddlers in too, basking in bonanzas of candy whenever I found a pinata for them to bash open, along with a smorgasbord of chests, fruits, urns and eggs.
