As the whole western half of North America experiences record inferno heat, we imagine so many of you are holed-up inside your homes, enjoying the deepest, darkest corners of the internet. No, not that corner, come back over here to the good stuff!
In this week’s round-up, we have a bunch of gameplay videos and short films, including one made by industry professionals to honor The Last of Us in time for the HBO series of the same name that’s currently filming. Enjoy!

APART by Lukas Galle | Full Exclusive Post-Apocalyptic Short Film
Lukas Galle is an Austrian film maker who has several high quality short films under his belt, and this one is no exception. It tells the story of a woman who receives a distress call while trying to survive in a post-apocalyptic world, helping her realize that she’s not the only one left.

Stay (Short Film) – Inspired by The Last of Us
Someone forwarded this short film to be a few days ago and I couldn’t wait to include it in this round-up. It pays homage to The Last of Us as we follow a man and young girl who are trying to make their way to the Santa Monica pier through a sea of zombies and those crazy creatures we’ve come to fear from the games. This short was made by professional VFX artists and writers, and it shows.
