So what websites do you think Sully uses to move stuff? I has to be something extremely open because he doesn't get the internet.

I wish this game let you roll around on your stomach like MGS4 and V. I want to see just how muddy I can get Drake.

So those mud splatters... I think those are the legendary Schrödinger's mud splatters. You don't know what kind of mud splatter is applied to the 4x4 until you move the 4x4.

Sully isn't impressed with navigating by paper, charts, and stars. When he was sailing the only navigational tools were sacrifices to Poseidon and mating with helpful fishmen.

Sully is no racist. There are women of all races for him to lech on so he can't bring himself to dislike any of them. Scotland was pretty lovely in terms of just travelling to places. This place at least makes it interesting in its interactivity. Cars are fun.

One thing I've always appreciated about the Uncharted games, especially the ones after the first one (but that one did it too to a lesser extent), are the breather moments you get after big elaborate setpieces, gunfights, and puzzles. While there wasn't a lot of action going on in Scotland, you were still doing things that were dangerous. The puzzles in Avery's Test Your Might cave were cool, there was a lot of platforming, some small gunfights and then a big huge setpiece (one of my favorite in the game) where you're having a huge gunfight while the final chamber crumbles around you, and you have to leap from crumbling pillar to crumbling pillar while also shooting dudes, so it was pretty strenuous. Then the game very nicely puts you in an area where it not only takes a while to get to any fight at all, but also is huge, pretty to look at, and makes it fairly obvious where to go next, complete with little stops to find treasures and collectables. There's no real danger, no real threat, just you, your buds, and a 4X4 with a winch. It's a good juxtaposition with all the action going on, and Uncharted 4 does it the best out of any of the games.

Unrelated to the last video but Rafe's name was bugging the hell out of me until I saw Luke Cage and saw that one of its supporting characters was named Rafael which was shortened to Rafe. Through my whole play through I thought that Rafe was his last name and he just went by a last-name basis.

Ok maybe this is the place to ask. Why did old timey sailing ships travel to Brazil on their way 'round the Cape? That leg of the trip came up in the Jack Aubrey yarns I've read a few times as well, and googling mostly turns up stuff about the slave trade.

Cats must grow up differently in Madagascar. The Cabela's LP clearly showcased that proper African cat response for seeing a human was making an immediate beeline to attack regardless of circumstanceskalonZombie posted:One thing I've always appreciated about the Uncharted games, especially the ones after the first one (but that one did it too to a lesser extent), are the breather moments you get after big elaborate setpieces, gunfights, and puzzles. It's a good juxtaposition with all the action going on, and Uncharted 4 does it the best out of any of the games. Plus it's a total change in color palette and visible areas. We went from mostly confined spaces (even when you're outside)with blues, muted whites, and dark grays plus cliffs, snowfall, occasional brown grass patches, leafless trees, and mostly dark caves to big spaces, sunny skies, bright orange ground and rocks, green trees, grass, flowers and a few more animals around. I don't remember if any of the other games did non-foreshadowing animal life like we've seen so far with the whale, lemurs, and the fossa.

I asked the same question recently when my uncle got a boat through the Panama Canal, why he didn't just sail it home rather than putting it on a freighter, and the answer's that for the Pacific Ocean while he could have sailed from Seattle to Panama easily (nautically speaking, it's still a long trip) the return trip would need him to loop out to Hawaii to ride the current home. 3.png) Looking at that map, if they tried to sail straight down the African coast they'd run head-on into the Benguela current.

Incidentally, the Gulf Stream is how the Portuguese discovered Brazil independently of Columbus a few years later. One of their trading captains sailed a bit farther west than normal and discovered land.

Whereas I dug the platforming and the calm moments, and stealthed my way through a lot of the shooting sections. I tend to do that when given the option, though. I'unno why.

So Chip how did you get your hands on a preview copy of Final Fantasy XV? Although in all seriousness this was my favorite part of playing the game just Nate driving around with Sam and Sully shooting the poo poo, a nice little breather amid all the exciting setpieces.

I feel like Uncharted 4 is one of the most "real" games I've ever played, in the sense that the characters feel like real people. Obviously you have to make concessions for things like "Why do they just murder 45 people in a day and not seem even a little bothered by it?", but otherwise it's one of the absolute best games for making the characters relatable and authentic. The dialogue is virtually non-stop and rarely or never repeats, and the crew discusses just about anything under the sun. It's possible to get a nearly perfect sense of who a particular character is from the dialogue, without having to force any explanations with "As you know" segments. One of the other games that comes to mind with how authentic the characters feel is The Last of Us, which happens to be by the same team.
