Uncharted-3:-Drake's-Deception

http://youtu.be/FYTW0P9DerA It’s the mash-up nobody knew they wanted until today! I mean, this is pure insanity, but it’s also super awesome. Rock vs. Ryu?! BRILLIANT! Can’t wait for that free download. http://youtu.be/W01L70IGBgE Uncharted 3 may have been lacking that je ne sais quoi that its predecessors have, but that’s probably because the big guns were working on this sucker. What a fine looking game it is too. Can’t wait to see how this pans out because it looks astounding. ...

It started out like any other, filled with joy and happiness, and then it was all wrenched away halfway through, thanks to that burglary, until I was able to start replenishing my stores and getting the ball rolling again for the second half. ...

Watched all of the 7 Minutes in Heaven clips that were out there. So funny! So awkward! So great! Movies Sorry, guys. No movies this week. TV The Walking Dead - Glenn remains the best thing about this show. Getting the rope around the fat zombie, hooking up with Maggie, and overall being funny and awesome. That part where he tries to be all cool in front of Maggie was hilarious and understated. ...

I find this stuff so interesting! All good things come to an end, but here’s to hoping that we see Drake, Elena, Sully, Chloe, and Charlie again because these guys are so great.

Very informative to learn about how autobiographical the story is and about how integrated Edgar Wright’s movie was with the book. TV The Walking Dead - Not killing off Shane was the smartest thing this show did. He’s ice cold and his decision last week was awesome. ...

(Photo courtesy naughty_dog)”] [/caption] Everyone’s favorite treasure hunter, Nathan Drake, is back once again for his third journey! What’s it like? I’ll tell you. I’m about eight chapters in, but you can expect some degree of story spoiler if you read this post. I don’t think anything huge has happened yet, but if you don’t want to know about which characters are in the game or what happens at all, DON’T READ THIS! ...

Less than a month left! Gonna be so great.

I was expecting something interesting from a musical about aboriginal life in Australia, but it just wasn’t there. Uneven pacing, bland characters, and, worst of all, completely forgettable music. That’s the one thing you have to do right in a musical! ...

The guy driving in this gameplay video is astoundingly good at Uncharted 3 combat. Wow, he’s just a rock star. I wonder what difficulty level that is (I bet easy/casual). Man, I can’t wait for 1 November.

[caption id="" align=“aligncenter” width=“500” caption=“Dom’s emo beard is the lynchpin the game revolves around (Picture courtesy GamingBits)”] [/caption] Yesterday I did two stupid things. When I started up my Public Arcade mode campaign I enabled “Scavenge Mode” (or whatever the mutator is called), which forces players to scavenge for ammo rather than find it littered about in ammo crates. Then, around midnight when I was hovering around Act IV Chapter 5 I thought, “Boy, there can’t be much more left to this game. I should just finish.” ...
