4chan is back up, but not all features are returning

4chan is finally back up and running — mostly. The infamous imageboard initially went down two weeks ago, scattering its anonymous denizens to the winds. It has now been largely restored, with users flocking back to their familiar fetid stomping grounds. However, not all of 4chan's boards will be returning.

In the first substantial post to its official blog in eight years, 4chan's team confirmed speculation that the outage was due to a hacker, and that the source code had been compromised....

The Last of Us Season 2, episode 3s opening credits has a heartbreaking change

We're still not over the death of Joel (Pedro Pascal) but, like it or not, The Last of Us is entering a new chapter — and that means some brand new opening credits.

The change in opening credits between Season 2, episode 2 and episode 3 isn't a big revamp, but it's still pretty devastating in a subtle way.

So what's the difference?

The Last of Us Season 2, episode 3: Why does Ellie sprinkle coffee on Joels grave?

If you thought the emotional pain had to ease off after the devastation-fest that was The Last of Us Season 2, episode 2, this week's episode clearly had other ideas.

Because although episode 3 may not have been quite as gut-churning, there were still plenty of moments to catch us out — from Tommy's (Gabriel Luna's) comment about Sarah (Nico Parker) to the subtle tweak to the show's opening credits.

Another of these moments saw Ellie (Bella Ramsey) visiting the grave of Joel (Pedro Pascal),...

The Last of Us Season 2, episode 3: Why does Tommy say Give Sarah my love?

The Last of Us Season 2, episode 3 is chock full of poignant moments, from the subtly altered opening credits to Ellie (Bella Ramsey) scattering coffee beans at the grave of Joel (Pedro Pascal).

But while most of the sadness in the episode is understandably reserved for Ellie, Joel's brother Tommy (Gabriel Luna) also gets a tear-jerker of a scene — and it contains a throwback to where it all started.

In Season 1 of Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann's Naughty Dog game adaptation, it was all about FEDRA and the Fireflies. But now, with the majority of Fireflies sent into oblivion by Joel (Pedro Pascal) in the Season 1 finale — was that a good idea, Joel? — and FEDRA seemingly nowhere to be seen,...

The Last of Us Season 2, episode 3: Seths dramatic change from the game

In Naughty Dog's game The Last of Us, there's one character who gets a chance to try and make amends for showcasing outright bigoted behaviour. However, in the HBO series, he does a much better job.

Seth (Robert John Burke) is the Jackson resident who hurls homophobic abuse, including a slur, at Ellie (Bella Ramsey) and Dina (Isabela Merced) for kissing at the New Year's Eve dance. Seth's actions in The Last of Us series are just as abhorrent as they are in the game, but it's what he does...
