With Game of Thrones Season 7 under way, its first episode Dragonstone, saw a direct reference to popular PS3 and PS4 video game, The Last of Us.

Around 22 minutes into the proceedings, Jaime Lannister tells Cersei: "We’re the last of us." This is due the death of every other Lannister (of course barring Tyrion who switched sides). For fans of The Last of Us, it should hark back not just to the title of the game, but an actual quote what with its protagonist Joel saying, "You know Ellie, we’re really the last of us."
