The Great Boston Escape: How Did Joel Get There (Without a DeLorean)?
Ah, Joel. The gruff smuggler with a heart of gold (or maybe just a slightly less tarnished silver). We all know him from traversing the zombie apocalypse wasteland in "The Last of Us," but one burning question has always lingered: how in the heck did he get from Texas to Boston?
The game throws us right into the action, twenty years after a Cordyceps fungus outbreak turned the world upside down. We see a grizzled Joel in the quarantine zone of Boston, but his journey there remains a mystery. Did he:
QuickTip: Don’t ignore the small print.
- Hitch a ride on a mutated giraffe? (Unlikely, but hey, it would be a heck of a story.)
- Barter his smuggling skills for passage on a rickety hot air balloon? (Possible, but the logistics of surviving that trip are nightmarish.)
- Maybe, just maybe, take a long, long road trip? (This seems the most likely, but boring, right?)
Well, folks, that last option is probably the truth. But fear not! Even a regular ol' cross-country trek in a post-apocalyptic world is an adventure worthy of a ballad.
QuickTip: Reread for hidden meaning.
QuickTip: Pause before scrolling further.

Imagine the possibilities!
Tip: Skim once, study twice.

- Bartering with scavenger settlements for fuel with dubious quality. ("Sure, this gas might turn your engine purple, but hey, at least it'll get you a few miles!")
- Dodging infected hordes and rival scavengers with a rusty spoon and a withering stare. (Because who needs fancy weapons when you have pure Texan grit?)
- Developing an unlikely travel companion bond with a particularly chatty radroach. (Hey, a post-apocalyptic world can get lonely.)
The possibilities are endless! Though, the game remains silent on the details. Perhaps it's for the best. The mystery allows us to imagine Joel's epic journey, filled with near-death experiences, questionable decisions, and maybe even a heartwarming moment or two.
But hey, that's just speculation. What matters most is that Joel made it to Boston, ready to become the grumpy (but secretly caring) father figure to Ellie.
