UPDATE 2: Possible Reference To The Last Of Us Found in Uncharted 3 Drake's Deception

Quote:

The latest installment in the Uncharted series by SCEA developer Naughty Dog hosts a suspicious reference to a "deadly fungus". Coincidence?

As reported a few days back, a snippet from a BBC wildlife film documenting the behavior of the "killer fungi" known as "cordyceps" was posted at www.lastofus.com, a website for a "PS3 exclusive you won't believe", that will be revealed during the upcoming Spike TV VGAs.

Well, while hunting for treasures on my Crushing run at Uncharted 3, I've stumbled upon this newspaper laying on the counter of the London pub featured in the very first chapter of the game.

Watch the video embedded below to learn how to find this newspaper. (You can explore the pub freely after the fight in the restroom.)

The front page of a fictional newspaper, called "The Overseer", runs a story with the following headline: "Scientists are still struggling to understand deadly fungus".

Isn't it a rather odd coincidence that out of all the fake headlines Naughty Dog could have come up with, they eventually went with one so closely referring to The Last Of Us?

UPDATE 1: lastofus.com updated! Next update's 12.10.11, the day of the VGA's.

Firstly the Cordyceps ant video's been extended. Keep watching after it goes black.

I can't tell if the clunking sound's someone kickstarting a motorbike, engine or a strange monster sound...

There's also a couple of wallpapers:
