Harrison Ford Playing Uncharted 3 for a Japanese Campaign Will Make You Uncomfortable [Video]

by James Plafke | 11:00 am, October 20th

The Japanese commercials for Uncharted 3 will feature Harrison Ford playing the game, and as part of the process, he played bits of the game in order to produce some commentary, as well as to provide all of us with the above video that is fairly uncomfortably awkward. Anyone who knows Uncharted knows how awesome and meta it is that Harrison Ford is playing it, but for the uninitiated, it’s because Uncharted and its main character, the charming Nathan Drake, are heavily inspired by Indiana Jones. Head on past the break for an even more uncomfortable thirty second commercial of Harrison Ford breathing heavily while playing the game.

Actors Who Would Be Allowed Into the Geek Equivalent of Heaven

by James Bishop | 12:20 pm, June 8th

When you die and potentially go wherever it is that people go when they’re dead — be it in the ground or some type of heaven or whatever — chances are you won’t be pleased with everyone that has been given a pass. Some people just rub folks the wrong way; it’s a fact of life. There is one bright side to this, however: If you’re going to this theorized place, it’s safe to assume that people similar to you are going to be going there as well. That means that all those geeky actors will be chatting it up in the geek afterlife, hopefully. But where do they draw the line?

What If Tom Selleck Had Played Indiana Jones?

by Robert Quigley | 2:06 pm, October 18th

Sorry, Selleck Waterfall Sandwich, but you may have just been bested in the highly competitive category of Tom Selleck-inspired fan art, thanks to DeviantART user Gh0stbuster, who has has imagined an alternate-universe Raiders of the Lost Ark starring Selleck. Why? Gh0stbuster’s homage is inspired by the fact that Stephen Spielberg initially cast Tom Selleck as Indiana Jones, but had to give the role to Harrison Ford instead when CBS wouldn’t let him take the part due to his Magnum, P.I. contractual obligations. (Spielberg had wanted Ford anyway, but producer George Lucas was initially hesitant.)
