More Uncharted 2! Here are some things that are causing me to warm more and more to Nathan Drake (and are less worrying than 'he was covered in blood and it was hot'):
– he is a gigantic dork who started trying to play Marco Polo with Chloe when I flung him headlong into a swimming pool (and who later tried to persuade Chloe to get in as well when I went for a swim in the temple; Nathan is now established in my mind as a man who is incapable of passing a pool without throwing himself into it)
– he wants to save everyone, to the extent of physically lugging Guy He's Known For Ten Minutes to safety whilst being shot at (I have a big weakness for characters who really, really want to do the right thing, particularly when they're not always very good at it; PRETTY VIRTUOUS FOR SOMEONE WHO BURGLED A MUSEUM, NATHAN DRAKE), and
– his diary, amongst the useful information and plot-relevant things, contains incredibly stupid doodles. (LOOK AT THIS PAGE, THIS PAGE IS AMAZING. I am completely incapable of seeing the 'angry mouth' as anything other than a giant angry moustache. Nathan's diary also contains a photograph of Elena! Awww.)
(Regarding Nathan and Elena: make out, you guys)
(I mean, it's fine if you don't want to)
(but you both clearly want to)
(make out)
Elena is still delightful. I was a bit annoyed when she kept going 'hey, have you forgotten about me? open the door!' at me - I was trying to open the door! What did she think I was doing? - but then after five minutes of trying to find something to jump to I suddenly realised I could in fact shoot the door open from where I was dangling, so she sort of had a point. Also she punched Flynn in the face and it was great. (I was so pleased to see her! And Nathan defended her to Chloe! ♥!)
