I have now completed Uncharted 2! I think possibly my favourite part of the game, save the perfect opening and ending scenes, is the bit where Nathan and Flynn are working together and just snipe at each other the entire time. Hee!
I did come to like Chloe, in the end, which pleased me. I like her the most when she's with Elena. Then again, I also like Nathan and Sully the most when they're with Elena. Is there any character that can't be improved by the company of Elena Fisher?
Well, yes, probably. Pyramid Head, for example, would probably stab her, which I wouldn't approve of. But she definitely brings out the best in the main cast of the Uncharted series.
(NATHAN AND ELENA
HEARTS FOREVER
they are adorable and I 'ship them so much. The way they work together and worry about each other when they're in danger; the way they poke fun at each other in quiet moments. The ending. ♥!)
The first thing I did upon beating the game was purchase the 'Dirty and Beat-Up' character model for Drake, so he can be covered in blood whenever I please. Although I do also love his winter jacket. Mildly saddened to find that the character model on its own doesn't cause him to stagger around in obvious pain. I swear I'm not a bad person.
The second thing I did was load up the 'Where Am I?' chapter and pet the hell out of some yaks. (Forget every other criticism levelled at it: the worst thing about Final Fantasy XIII was the fact that it wasn't possible to cuddle the little round sheepy things. The first time I saw a yak in Uncharted, I immediately steered Nathan in its direction and was saddened when he didn't interact with it. But, as it turns out, it is in fact possible to pet the yaks! Amazing!)
I've only realised upon writing this that these two things display very different sides of my personality.
Unrelatedly: why are the radio and television trailers for this year's Children in Need (for the benefit of non-UKers: Children in Need is an annual television event to raise money for children's charities) backed by the song 'Fuck You' by Cee Lo Green? I am really confused.

Errrrrmmmm... because the people that make these ads aren't as in touch with the 'youth' as they like to think they are?

It starts the same way it always does: a rumour, a map, an artifact that he simply *has* to have. Nate's fractious for a few days, eyes shadowed by late nights and too much screen work, until Elena confronts him and he confesses.
A few days later they're standing at the foot of a temple out in the foothills of the Andes.
These days, Nate can only use the public steps and Elena's press pass has long since expired, but they still manage to find a door that, when Nate presses the correct combination of tiles, opens just so and once again they're off the map, following a thread of history through passages thick with dust and carvings that haven't been seen by human eyes in centuries.
The step up to the dais in the central chamber is a little steep, and Nate has to take Elena's hand (his knees aren't what they were).
"Ever think we're getting a little too old for this?" he grunts, his fingers calloused with a hundred lucky grabs and near misses.
Elena brushes back a strand of hair that's more grey than blonde, now, and hauls him up.
"I don't think so."
