Nathan Drake Never Took Bullet Damage in the Uncharted Series
Nathan Drake might have been even luckier than you think.
Naughty Dog Animator Jonathan Cooper has revealed a weird bit of Uncharted trivia, explaining that Nathan Drake never took bullet damage throughout the series' five games (don't forget the Vita one).
It seems that whenever the Uncharted UI turns red, when you think the character is getting hit, it's actually Drake's luck running out. Once his luck's up, a single shot kills him.
"Sidenote I learned on joining the team: Drake doesn’t ever take bullet damage," Cooper tweeted. "The red UI that shows ‘hits’ is to represent his ‘luck’ running out. Eventually enemies will get a clear shot and kill him if he takes enough near-misses."

Overwatch Raised $12.7 Million for Charity Thanks to Pink Mercy

Today, Blizzard announced that the campaign, which ran from May 8-21, raised over $12.7 million and became the largest donation by a corporate partner within one year of the 25-year history of the foundation.
In addition to the Pink Mercy skin, thousands of limited-edition Pink Mercy T-shirts were sold for this cause and contributed to the total, designed by community artist VICKISIGH.
Fortnite Rifts Are Now Spawning New Items into the Game
Fortnite's rifts are at it again. No longer content to suck in-game items up and deposit them into the real world, the rifts are also now generating new in-game items.
Most prominently, Reddit user TimSad and Twitter's Fortnite: Battle Royale Leaks noticed that the portal between the Moisty Mire and Prison areas spawned a wagon over the weekend.
While theories vary as to what this means, it appears likely to be yet another reference to what's believed to be a Wild West theme for Season 5.
