Uncharted 3: Drake's Misfortune: Difference between revisions

Line 7:

''Uncharted 3 - Drake's Misfortune'' is a comedy series halfway between an [[The Abridged Series|Abridged Series]] and a [[Gag Dub]]. The series was created by Ian Burke and Conor Moloney near the end of 2011, who voice the two main characters. The main idea was to re-dub ''[[Uncharted|Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception]]'' with satirical voice acting, but due to the [[Sincerest Form of Flattery|extremely relaxed and usually ad-libbed creation process]] (which was modeled after the real voice acting in ''Uncharted 3''), this ideal is usually not followed to the letter. In short, anything and everything are fair game for humour. You can watch the theatrical trailer [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X8HuHAzpaE0 here], and all videos will be released on the ''[http://www.youtube.com/user/DrakesMisfortune Drake's Misfortune]'' youtube page.

The series is an [[Affectionate Parody]] of the Uncharted series and gaming as a whole, but the humour commonly strays into other territories such as movie references and [[Cluster F Bomb|Cluster F Bombs]]. As the main cast are all Irish, this can stretch believability because usually [[Not Even Bothering With the Accent|they don't even try to fake an accent]]. It gets worse when they actually do try. The voice acting usually keeps in character but explicit references are made very often, to the point where there is [[No Fourth Wall]].

The script contains a ridiculous amount of profanity, thanks to the voice actors' habit of swearing at least three times per sentence. Even though the content is usually SFW, the way it is delivered is very, very [[Not Safe for Work|NSFW]].

----

=== This series provides examples of: ===

* [[The Abridged Series]]: The raison d'etre of ''Misfortune''.

* [[Affectionate Parody]]: You can tell that all the actors secretly love ''Uncharted 3''. Under all the profanity of course.

Line 17:

* [[Author Avatar]]: The characters are very much based upon their voice actors, albeit with highly exaggerated personalities to suit the original character's persona. Make of that what you will.

* [[Breaking the Fourth Wall]]: Almost every second sentence, someone will drop character to wonder at the nature of the world they find themselves in. The rest of the cast will hurriedly shut them up.

* [[Cluster F Bomb]]: '''All''' of the cast, although Nate and Sully take the cake.

* [[Cluster F-Bomb]]: '''All''' of the cast, although Nate and Sully take the cake.

* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: All of them. Nate is the worst offender here.

* [[Early Installment Weirdness]]: Ian has gone on record saying that 'the first episode is atrocious, please move on to the second'.

Line 23:

* [[Genre Savvy]]: Everyone's aware that they're in a game. [[Breaking the Fourth Wall|They do their best to hide it though]].

* [[Larynx Dissonance]]: The entire first episode was done by Nate and Sully's voice actors alone. [[Blatant Lies|It's not noticeable at all]].

* [[Punch Punch Punch Uh Oh]]: Nate does this to a brute near the beginning, then immediately follows it with a [[Why Won't You Die]]

* [[Punch Punch Punch Uh Oh]]: Nate does this to a brute near the beginning, then immediately follows it with a [[Why Won't You Die?]]

* [[Schedule Slip]]: Episodes tend to turn up extremely late, despite promises of a bi-weekly release date. The second episode was posted more than three months after the first.

* [[Talking to Himself]]: Nate's voice actor is the same guy that has to edit the footage together. As such, some voice clips go missing so he has to improvise. Sometimes it's not noticeable, other times...well, the first episode.
