Okay, so yesterday I got The Last of Us: Remastered for PS4 because let’s be honest.
And now I can’t stop messing with Photo Mode! I got home from work today and started where you enter Bill’s town. After three and a half hours, I just got through the graveyard section after the church safehouse. I keep pausing to take pictures because OMGITISSOAMAZINGLYGOOD
So here‘s my collection of screenshots so far. Seriously, GET THIS GAME!

The time has come:
With a week left until the release of The Last of Us: Remastered, I thought it would be an ideal time to release the “Remastered” edition of the Aftermath series. As I’ve outlined in previous entries, I went back through the series and combed through it for typos and other corrections, as well as made one change to a plot detail in Part II. I then put it into a few formats that should cover a wide range of devices: PDF, AZW3, and ePUB.
Now, I don’t have any Apple products, so I can’t speak on how well the formatting of these works on those devices (from what I hear, ePUB can be opened natively on iDevices, but if that doesn’t work, just get the Kindle app and sideload the AZW3 format.)
As far as Android, I tested this on my Nexus 5 and Nexus 7, so I have a couple tips to make it easier to get reading:
PDF: this is the easiest format but also the least flexible. It can be read on basically any device, but probably won’t offer font resizing and other reading experience tools.
AZW3: Download the file and place it in the “kindle” folder on your phone/tablet’s “sdcard0″ location. It should then pop up in your library in the Kindle app. Only thing I noticed that’s weird is the page numbering/”locations” gets kind of wonky.
ePUB: The easiest way I’ve found to get this to work is using Google Play Books. Just download the ePUB file and put it into Google Drive. Open the Google Drive app and click on the book, it should be uploaded into Google Play Books. This seemed to work well for me.
Your mileage may vary in all of these, but with some persistence, it should work!
I made .zip directories containing all of the formats and split them into each part. So follow the links below and get downloading!
Aftermath: Part I
Aftermath: Part II
Aftermath: Part III
I hope you all enjoy getting to read these in a more friendly format than what’s accessible on FanFiction.net. This is a final farewell to the series, and my parting gift to you! Thanks for reading!
UPDATE: I forgot to include the Aftermath (Main Theme) song I had written and recorded for this project, so you can access it here

I have some good news. I’m finishing up my work on getting the Aftermath series into both .pdf and eBook format! That’s right, you’ll be able to read the series on your favorite eReader device, with adjustable text size and scalable formatting. As of right now, it looks like I’ll be posting it in three formats: PDF, ePUB, and AZW. ePUB is an open source format that works on most eReaders, like the B&N Nook, Kobo’s eReaders, and apparently iPads, iPhones, and iPods as well. AZW is a Amazon’s format specifically for Kindles. So I think I should have a lot of devices covered as far as compatibility is concerned. I’ve also whipped up some simple covers for each part, so these eBooks will include some nice cover artwork.
I’ve been reading through the series and trying to squash the last few typos that snuck by my all-seeing eye, and in the process have been smoothing out a few awkward sentences here and there. I guess you could view these upcoming releases as the revised edition of the Aftermath series. I’m also making a slight tweak to a plot point in Part II that I think improves the story. It’s nothing drastic.
I’m hoping to have this project wrapped up within the next few days, at which time I will upload the files to Mega or Mediafire or something and provide links to each format. I think it’ll be a nice bon voyage to the series.
Not much more to update than that. The book is still in process, slowly but surely. Yep.
