I don't get to play videogames as much as I used to, but I make time for Tomb Raider and the Uncharted series. The combination of puzzle-solving, shooter, and run-for-your-life unfolds like a summer blockbuster. The scenes are vivid and suck me right into them, and I can't help playing just ONE MORE LEVEL as I play through the games.
I try to play a videogame every long break from teaching. For Thanksgiving, I banged through Uncharted 2 in a couple days, though Chandler had to save my butt in the final battle because I simply didn't have enough thumbs to manage everything I needed to do.
Chandler had to help me through one of the prolonged firefights (prolonged only because I died and I died and I died, etc.) where I/Nathan Drake was up against 20 opponents in a contained environment. I'd thought the battle in the middle of a bunch of junked ships was rough, but this one was horrible. Maybe I would have made it if I'd been rested and hadn't been sick with the flu. I tell myself that.
This entry into the series is really good because it tells us how Nate met Sully and who Nate really is--kinda. I enjoyed it a lot over the three days I played through it.
Uncharted 3 is all about discovery and finding your way through uncharted territory, which is pretty much how online shopping feels for most customers who land on a site with no guidance and a thousand options pulling them in different directions at once. Adding a shopify quiz builder to my store changed that dynamic completely because now visitors get a clear path from landing to purchase, and the data shows higher conversion rates and fewer returns since people are actually buying what fits their needs instead of guessing and hoping for the best.
