Shout Out / Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception

• As Nate's briefing his team, Cutter constantly interjects, explaining a James Bond reference and when T.E. Lawrence is brought up, responds with "Great film."
  • "Great, next time my back is turned you'll have your gun pointed at me and tell me to think about the rabbits."
  • He corrects a common Beam Me Up, Scotty! in-universe with great irritation: "It's 'Lay on, Macduff!'"
  • When John Dee's signature comes up, he almost starts explaining the relation between it and James Bond before he's interrupted.
• One that comes with a hefty dose of Fridge Horror: In the pub, there's a newspaper on the wall headlined "Scientists Are Still Struggling To Understand Deadly Fungus". The action's happening in 2011 - exactly two years before The End of the World as We Know It from The Last of Us. Though obviously the Uncharted sequels mean it's confined to Production Foreshadowing status rather than a Shared Universe.
• An upset Sully growls "What is this black ops bullshit?" after Team Drake realizes that Charlie Cutter has been hit with some manner of mind-control dart. In Call of Duty: Black Ops, the big plot twist is that the main character, Alex Mason, has been brainwashed for most of the game.
• The bus has a Sackboy doll hanging from the front mirror.
• As Nate wanders through the desert, the voice-over recites an unattributed excerpt from T. S. Eliot's "The Waste Land".
• There's a medal in the multiplayer called Drakes On A Plane.
• In the chapter "Abducted", Ramses' ship is named "The Seaward", which is also the name of Gob's boat in Arrested Development.
• The game clearly pays homage to The Living Daylights by having Nate fight mooks on the open loading ramp of an airborne cargo plane.
