- watched Futurama season 5 and it's entirety.
- watched the following movies in chronological order of when I saw them: The Other Guys, Inception, The Town, and Family Guy: It's a Trap.
- I started to read Marvel Zombies the graphic novel and Batman: Year One.
- I played and beat Mafia II, and Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood.
- I started Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe, Lego Batman, and Battlefield Bad Company 2.

Longer Posts and reviews of the following from bottom to top coming soon.

Uncharted 3 book cover I made in Adobe InDesign

It's a project that I had to do to pass the course.

P.S. 40th blog post.

Working on full-length feature film

It's a working title project that I've been wanting to do for a long time. Right now it's in the script writing process. I've written over 12 full 8 1/2 by 11 inch pages so far and I will transfer it into Celtx soon.

It's a film about zombies and the survival of 2 people. Comedy/horror is my approach to this movie. The budget should be $1000+ dollars. This covers the cost of the camera (Canon HV40) and hopefully a new laptop. I need actors as well. I am in desperate need of actors. My friends are useless.

My original plan was as the following: Buy a $6000 camera ( Panasonic HVX200A or 200B w/ $200 lens filters), a $1000 Vaio laptop, and hire some well actors making the end cost to be close to $9000-$10000. This, of course was a dream...instead I'll get a $1000 camera, a cheap $100 laptop and maybe, just maybe 1 or 2 actors.

I'm still sorting things out but I don't expect the film to be made any time soon. I'm almost considering not releasing it until a few years down the road.

It will go up on youtube, but it'll have to be in parts.

Uncharted 3 Gameplay footage and Behind-the-Scenes

Click here for Uncharted 3 gameplay footage from the late night with Jimmy Fallon.

Click here for Naughty Dog's Uncharted 3 behind-the-scenes

The gameplay is what was in the screenshot I posted a while back with the fire in the building.

Apparently during 7:08 during the behind-the-scenes, on one of the computers you can see in the background it shows Nathan Drake with a motorcycle underneath, this is just speculation but that would be awesome!

I hope to death there will be more co-op, more story, more multiplayer and what would really be the icing on the cake would definately be local multiplayer (co-op/competetive).

Uncharted 1 and 2 reviews coming soon.

New Uncharted 3 VGA trailer

We get a release date ^
The trailer it out here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=imxYEIScL8o
It shows cut-scenes to where the story will be basing. It shows what it's about, the treasure of Lawrence of Arabia. AND it shows a small amount of gameplay. The gameplay suggests there will be underwater adventures from a sinking boat, explosions with Sully and much more. Oh ya...Sully is back! Thank god. Still no word yet on Elana or Chloe yet.

Jungles, Mexican Villages, caves, etc. and now deserts and ocean expoditions. Is there anywhere Nathan Drake won't go? It looks like Drake will travel through Europe as well.


New updates as info. arises.

Uncharted 3 concerns

If 3 long posts about my excitement of a game seems too geeky, prepare for my concerns that this game will not make it to video game stardom.

1. I think the game will have awfully large multiplayer maps that will be struggling to get any kills. The second game had the same problem for a couple of the maps.

2. What the hell is there to do in the desert? Seriously... Walk around a dusty wasteland of nothingness.

3. Tasteless repeditiveness. Uncharted 3: Planes crash once again? How many times have they made that happen? Again with the story on how Uncharted rips off most adventure movies (Indiana Jones, National Treasure, etc.)

4. This has nothing to do with the 3rd game but I must complain about this...for the Uncharted: Drake's Fortune movie which director David O. Russell has kindly lended his talent to produce, has taken a turn for the dumps.
-Who would cast Mark Walhberg as any actor? Let alone good ol' nathan drake, Nathan Fillion makes a much better choice.
- Instead of Nazi Zombies as Nathan Drake's threat, what about cuddly little teddys? That's right, David O. Russell's plan for the movie is to be based as a Family Film.
- The only good thing that has come with Russell is casting Robert Deniro, still no word yet on which UC: DF character he will play but if it's Sully, it would be Russell's first good decision as director.


So that's my rant. I really really really really really really REALLY want to play the crap out of the new uncharted game, even if these things will be true. And I do want to see the movie, even if it sucks...it's still Uncharted.

Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception Screenshots

I was misinformed. There are screenshots:
*Warning, taken directly from IGN.com
If the trailer didn't reveal that much, this sure will!

As well with this, Jimmy Fallon of the late night will show a live demo of the 3rd game during next week's episode of The Late Night.
