I won't even watch quicklooks where it's very obvious that one of the dudes is only pretending to know less than he actually does about a game. Though Brad could've spent more time playing the game so he could answer more questions, I did like this quicklook because Vinny seemed genuine.  
 
Jeff thought the spider streak was stupid because...he suffers from arachnophobia...? This was on the Bombcast and I couldn't figure out why he didn't like it until it became apparent that he has some level of arachnophobia. Pretty funny, but for a moment it almost slipped through!
 
So, Batzman got his props in the quicklook and the Bomcast...does he even know? Did anybody send him a message to let him know he's now a MAJOR internet celebrity? Ok but it would be interesting to hear from him.

Jeff doesn't like the spider streak because he thinks that it is too fantastical for a game like Uncharted. At least, according to what he said on the podcast.

I'm fine with spiders, I think it's stupid also, but whatever, knowledge is their treasure I guess...

Seems out of place for an Uncharted game, but it is MP, i wont hold it against them, killstreaks is almost mandatory now for MP games.

This. Also, I kinda agree and I LOVE me some Uncharted. Played the second one's coop stuff to death and even got into the competitive side of things which is rare for me.

I agree that while the series has always had one foot in the fantastical, their monsters were always just corrupted humans (in both games). Adding the ability to change into a swarm of spiders seems like a step further. I'm going to imagine that that's not in the singleplayer though (the spiders yes, humans transforming into them, no). Just a guess.

I don't like the spider stuff because I'm arachnophobic, really arachnophobic, haven't experienced it yet, but I fear for the moment that I will see it, actually I might not even finish the single player because of spiders.. Also, it's stupid.

In a game with zombies, immortals, regular/cursed monsters with super-human strength, swarms of spiders deterring people from how serious this game is sounds pretty weird.

If Batzman is a major Internet celebrity, I can't imagine what the most popular YouTube vloggers would be classified as

It's kind of the part where dude turns INTO spiders that's weird.

This. I don't know how you could've missed that. Having not played any of the Uncharted games (I don't own a PS3, dammit) I can't really comment on any of the spider stuff.

It seems out of place for the world's fiction, even in multiplayer.

But it's just multiplayer. I'd like to think having 8 identical Drakes per team would be weirder than spiders. There's another one where the character puffs into a cloud of smoke, no one's mentioned that yet.

I don't know, it just seems an odd thing to choose, especially for multiplayer, and not singleplayer.

Um, this was the same multiplayer where you could play as a walking skeleton, right?

So... why are people getting bent out of shape about THIS fantastical addition, when it's already established that things in multiplayer get ridiculous?

This is relevant and hilarious.

I've sent Batzman a friend request on PSN but sadly he hasn't responded yet. It seems he is getting casught up in his internet fame.

Obviously, Jeff's disdain for the Spider streak is rooted in his arachnophobia and he only uses a realism argument to try and add some rationality to his point. People have a thousand times stronger reactions and feelings towards their phobias than they have towards unrealistic elements in a videogame they hear about.

I'm not sure what to think of the spider thing. One one hand, it's pretty awesome. On the other hand, like Jeff said, it's not really appropriate for an Unchated game...  
I too added Batzman on PSN :p Poor guy... (Or girl o_O)

I'm with Jeff, the spider streak kill the reelity (yes, that was purposefully misspelled to read like a film reel) that previous games have established.

I was going to say this.

Wait...does this mean I have to add Batzman on PSN also?

Poor Batzman, all the poor lad wants is to snipe some fools in UC3, and then this happens....

Yeah spiders kind of take me out the experience. Now excuse me while I go back to play some Uncharted 2 online with a team full of identical characters and skeletons that respawn after they die.

It's multiplayer. As other have mentioned, the multiplayer lets you play as skeletons, in addition to Cole from Infamous, a Chimera soldier, etc. It's just a killstreak-esque effect. I don't see it as any different than, say, calling in a nuke in a small 8 Vs. 8 conflict in Call of Duty, or a horde of dogs out of nowhere. 
 
Multiplayer stuff is usually pretty ridiculous, so I certainly have no problem with a bunch of spiders in Uncharted.

I honestly think no one would have had a problem with this if they didn't talk about it so much on the podcast.

Being scared of something in a video game because you have a fear of it in real life is pretty stupid.

@Sander: He doesn't like it because it makes no sense within the context of that particular universe. There is no precedence, it just happens now, without an explanation.

I have a secret. I am Batzman.
 

You couldn't figure out why Jeff didn't like the change? Maybe you were too obsessed with figuring out why he didn't like it to bother listening to him explicitly stating why he didn't like it.

What is the point of this stupid thread? So you like this Quick Look because you don't like Quick Looks where someone seems to be pretending to know less than they actually do (which is an idiotic and ridiculously specific thing to get bent out of shape about, especially when it's usually in service of getting people to talk about the games for video). Okay great. So why are you telling us this instead of posting it as a comment to the Quick Look. You also think that Jeff is lying about the spiders thing. Again, why should we care? And as for Batzman, again, why should we care? He's in a Quick Look and got namechecked on a podcast, big deal. He's no more an internet celebrity than I am for having my XBL name plastered all over the Burnout Paradise Big Surf Island Quick Look.

Um, this was the same multiplayer where you could play as a walking skeleton, right?

Hey guys it's batzman lol... It took me awhile to realize I was in this bombcast!! I've responded to most of the friend requests!

I was gonna be all butthurt over the necro, but @Batzman: Finally saying hello was worth it.

ALSO THIS WAS 1.5 YEARS AGO? What theee fuuuuck.

I'm a little suspicious... How do we know this is the real Batzman? Can you take a "verification" pic in the Batzcave or something? Where's Robinz?
