20 Things You Didn't Know About Uncharted

While playing Uncharted 2 or Uncharted 4, you might hear Nate yell out "kitty got wet!" whenever he takes out a goon, a pretty strange statement even for a protagonist as witty as this one.

So where did the phrase come from?

Well, the story starts with Nolan North's son, Cooper. The two were playing Wii tennis one day, and when Cooper won a game, he taunted his father by exclaiming "kitty got wet!" Naturally, the elder North asked his son where he got that phrase from, and he received the reply "kitties don't like getting wet."

So, the next time he was in the booth, North used the phrase when he was recording Nate's punches. And it actually made it into the game. What a world we live in.

He has been writing and video editing since his early teens, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers, off the back of a burning obsession with the Matt Smith era of the show. Like many his age, he first got into Doctor Who with the 2005 revival, but has since gone back and fallen in love with the classic years too. If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order, or to give you a random factoid about the making of Gridlock, Danny is the person to ask!
