Witty Writing in Guides

Uncharted 2 is widely known for its intense action, creative platforming, and its witticisms from Nathan Drake. When writing the guide, the BradyGames team tapped into Drake’s wit and deposited little pieces of hilarity gold throughout the guide. More than once have I laughed out loud to something these writers wrote, such as “Whoever says that you can have too many grenades is just wrong.”

I’ve started marking these quips with post-it notes, and I plan on going back through the book and rereading it for any other laughs I missed. Once I mark them all, I’m going to immortalize them on this website and then reread other guides for points of wit.

I’m not sure how I missed some of these before, but I want to make sure I don’t miss them in the future and the writers will get the homage that is due. Whoever said writing a guide has to be dry and straight forward?
