Indiana Jones plays Uncharted 3

By Ryan Fleming Published October 19, 2011

But he’s… And that’s… Well this is it, the internet has officially maxed out its awesome quota. If you don’t know why Harrison Ford–star of among other things, the Indiana Jones trilogy (Yes, trilogy, the fourth movie never happened. It never happened!!), playing Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception, a game that is basically a modern Indiana Jones retelling–is awesome, then we can’t be friends anymore.

In the video released by Sony for the Japanese TV audience, the actor sits down with Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception to check it out. While Ford doesn’t seem all that comfortable with a controller in his hand, he does genuinely seem to be having fun playing the game. Indiana Jones is having fun playing Nathan Drake. Meta-fiction at its finest.

The clip below is a behind-the-scenes version of an ad that is airing in Japan now. The ad is much shorter and just shows Ford running the gamut of gamer emotions (joy, tension, unreasonable rage, etc.), but the clip below is much more interesting. 1Up has posted the ad itself though if you are interested.

So if you want to be like Indiana Solo himself and try out Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception, you won’t have to wait much longer. The game is due out for the PS3 on November 1.

How to upgrade and repair weapons and gear in Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl

A soldier with a broken gun in Stalker 2.

It won't be long into Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl that you encounter your first weapon jam. Whether you're fighting mutant dogs or enemy bandits, the last thing you want to hear when lining up a shot is the clicking of your weapon despite still having plenty of ammo. The more you use your weapons, the lower their durability becomes and the more likely you are to experience a jam. You don't have the skills to repair or upgrade your weapons yourself, and Stalker 2 is more than willing to let you miss out on finding the places to do it. Never get caught with a broken or weak weapon again by learning how to repair and upgrade your weapons in Stalker 2.

You can see how beaten down your weapon is in the inventory by highlighting it or based on the color of the broken shield icon. If that icon appears at all, you can expect jams to start popping up.

How to fix reputation in Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl

Two groups pointing at each other in Stalker 2.

Unless you played any of the previous games, it might come as a surprise to learn just how many immersive sim elements are in Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl. In a lot of ways, it is closer to a more hardcore Fallout game than a pure FPS title, with lots of loot, quests, and characters to meet and talk to. One somewhat hidden mechanic is the reputation system. Stalker 2 won't stop you from opening fire on anyone you want, but not without consequence. Upset someone from a particular group, and you'll find yourself being hunted by them until you do something about it. There are enough things in Stalker 2 trying to kill you so if you accidentally angered a group and want to get back in their good graces, here's how you can fix your reputation.

If you've intentionally or accidentally shot or hurt a friendly NPC from one of the main groups in Stalker 2, you will instantly be put on their "shoot on sight" list if it lowers your reputation enough. Thankfully, there are ways to get yourself a second or third chance, but only two.
