Great Scott!!


Apparently I need more of a kick start than I had originally thought.  While I had looked to an earlier blogging challenge to help provide purpose and direction, I may need to broaden my horizons a bit and simply find something to write about.  I'm going to look for things to write about until I can make this more of a regular habit.  Starting now.  

While I certainly don't get to do this as much as I would like to, I still enjoy these digital distractions.  I recently picked up Uncharted: the Nathan Drake Collection for the PS4.  Now, I've played the previous three entries on the PS3 but I just couldn't pass up a chance to work through an updated version of something I enjoyed so much.  Growing up, I remember loving the Indiana Jones movies, although it took me a while to get comfortable with Temple of Doom (so scary...).  I loved the sense of adventure and the journey to far off places in search of fortune and glory.  These are powerful themes that made the films so good in the first place, something that I would argue has been lost somewhat in all the flashiness of today's Hollywood.

When I play Uncharted, I get that same sense of wonder and fun that I got from the Indiana Jones films.  It had a story that I found engaging and I'd always want to play just a little bit longer just to see what would happen next.

Nathan and Sully find El Dorado.
Great storytelling and a chance to enjoy a classic trilogy if you missed it the first time.
