Catching Hamilton Fever

I’ve decided that I want to be a theater nerd. That’s what I’ve been thinking about lately.

Let’s get one thing straight, though. Two things, actually. One: I’m not looking to appropriate any branch of nerd culture for the sake of fitting into some sort of clique. I’m no hipster. No part of me is interested in following the theater world just so I can call myself a theater lover, so maybe it’s not correct to say that I want to be a theater nerd, per se. Really all I’m saying is that I want to learn more about the world of theater and maybe watch more plays.

Uncharted 4: My Final, Spoiler-Filled Thoughts


It doesn’t feel like the Uncharted series is a decade old, does it? Could’ve only been a couple summers ago I was marveling over the visuals in Drake’s Deception, and working toward what became my first platinum trophy. But that was ten years ago.

So now that the series is complete and the story has been told, we’ve controlled Nathan Drake in, what, four different stages of his life? From youngest to oldest we have child Drake at the orphanage, teenage Drake in Uncharted 3 where we also meet a dapper-as-shit Victor Sullivan, young adult Drake in the Panamanian prison and then, obviously, present Drake.
