In the classic zombie movies the word zombie is used to describe a human corpse that has through whatever plot device been resurrected and so is the living undead.

In the Last Of Us the victims do not die, and are instead taken over by the cordycepes virus and it is this viral infection that changes the humans facial features while they are still alive

It's a fungus not a virus, one of the reasons why I couldn't take Gamespots review seriously was that they missed this plot device. A virus and a fungus are fundamentally different and do different things to survive. Hell we're not even sure if a virus is a living organism but a fungus most definitely is. If this was a virus the plot would have to be altered very severely, most likely resulting in a very much meh ending, if you completed it you'd know what I mean. A virus cannot be transmitted through airbourne spores and also enemies like the clickers would make no sense.

 

I was referring to the viral infection from the cordyceps (which helps it take hold in the nerves before allowing althoug the fungus to spread unabaited), although as you rightly said the fungus alone would be enough to the damage.

 

But it's not a viral infection, that would imply it was caused from a virus.

So my friend and I have been playing through the game together thus far, both are level 20 (commando and assassin).  The question is, on some of our side quests for him it will say the level of the quest is 20 and for me it will say the level of the quest is 15 for the EXACT same quest.  Does anybody know why it does this? I can't seem to find anything on it anywhere.

 

Thanks

I was browing the Indie games the other day, and usually they are pretty crappy, but this one struck my eye

http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/Product/Blocks-Indie/66acd000-77fe-1000-9115-d80258550799

It's a ton of fun and it's only 3 bucks, 65 levels, saved replays, award system, pretty awesome.
