A recent viral clip featuring Darren “IShowSpeed”caught the attention of social media users, showcasing the moment he realized he had previously played *The Last of Us Part I*. On May 16, 2025, the popular YouTuber launched a marathon livestream with the goal of completing this acclaimed game, only to belatedly discover that he had already finished it a couple of years earlier.
It’s important to highlight that IShowSpeed’s goal for the marathon was to complete both *The Last of Us Part I* and its sequel, *The Last of Us Part II*, back-to-back. Nevertheless, the realization of having forgotten completing such a renowned title sparked a wave of reactions from his fans.
Reactions from Fans and Followers
The incident prompted a flurry of commentary from viewers, many of whom expressed disbelief that IShowSpeed could forget a game as iconic as *The Last of Us Part I*. Here’s a glimpse of the reactions:
“Braids too damn tight to his head it’s giving him CTE how tf do you forget playing TLOU?”asked one fan on X.
“How tf did he forget he played “Last of Us”one of the best games,”remarked another viewer on X.
“2 years ain’t even that long ago how he already forget,”another user commented on X.
Some fans even directed the conversation toward other popular games, suggesting that he revisit titles like *Elden Ring*:
“bro needs to get back on Elden Ring that’s what he needa do,”wrote one fan.
Others humorously teased that IShowSpeed might be entering an “unc”phase in gaming:
“Safe to say Speed is officially in his unc era,”a viewer noted on X.
The Moment of Realization
During the initiation of his marathon, viewers began reminding IShowSpeed that he had played *The Last of Us* before. Once he acknowledged his chat, he searched for confirmation:
“You played this two years ago brother. People keep… Bro, let me look this up. Speed last of us.”
His search led him to a YouTube video from July 2022 where he featured *The Last of Us Remastered*. Shocked and amused, he exclaimed:
“Bruh! So I played this game before? I finished this game already!”
It’s notable that, while both *The Last of Us Part I* and *The Last of Us Remastered* share the same storyline, they are categorized as distinct titles, with the latter being enhanced with improved graphics and updates.
