Uncharted 2 – Part 2-1
For a couple of ordinary thieves with no special training, we're doing a swell job mowing down hundreds of Russian(?) soldiers working for a murderous psychopath. Hopefully, this means absolutely nothing bad will happen on our way to Shambala. https://youtu.be/E71H4zmlfnU Streamed at https://www.twitch.tv/newdarkcloud At last, we have reunited with...

Uncharted 2 – Part 1-3
We overlooked one little detail, it seems. Face it. We've been played. Good thing they didn't throw away the key to our Turkish jail cell through. Time for some payback. https://youtu.be/3TSTLf0Jycs Streamed at https://www.twitch.tv/newdarkcloud It's funny. I always thought of Victor "Sully" Sullivan as one of the core members...
Uncharted 2 – Part 1-2
Nothing beats a good in-medias res opening to get audiences hooked into the story. But now that we've been reeled in, it's time to get into the real meat of the story.

Jak II – A Post Game Conversation

Jak II – Part 5-3
We ride the elevator to the top of the weapons depot, ready to confront Krew and put an end to the Baron's plan to set off a nuke. The end draws nigh in Jak II. https://youtu.be/dqHHmlz1TOw Streamed at https://www.twitch.tv/newdarkcloud One of my biggest pet peeves with Jak 2 is...
Jak II – Part 5-2
Looks like the Baron plans to detonate a fantasy nuke, that will accidentally kill everything else including all the citizens of Haven City. We should probably stop that, but first, it's time for a race! https://youtu.be/2UKl4pOPvow Streamed at https://www.twitch.tv/newdarkcloud Chalk that race up to another mission I remember being...
