When it comes to t-shirt etiquette, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves Creative Director Amy Hennig knows just how to tuck it. Oh, and she also knows how to make a real gem of a game, too. But anyone who has played Uncharted 2 probably already knows that. So here’s what we don’t know: Can Hennig survive our five random questions without disrupting the magical half-tuck? Let’s pull up the curtain and find out….
1. We’re all impressed with Uncharted’s beautiful visuals. Pretty, yes, but we’re actually more floored by the sleek sexiness of Nathan Drake’s half-tucked shirt. We’re not the only ones either. What famous funny game designer said he was also amazed by Drake’s fashion choice when he played the original Uncharted?
Amy Hennig: That would be Tim Schafer, of course!
Bitmob: That’s correct.
AH: And I just talked to Tim recently, and I told him that he’d be pleased to know that Nate actually has a five-eighth’s tuck in Uncharted 2.
Bitmob: Stop the presses — we think we got a scoop here!

2. Nathan Drake isn’t the only popular treasure hunter in video games. Can you name Nintendo’s infamous coin-snatcher?
AH: Infamous coin-snatcher?
Bitmob: Keyword: infamous.
AH: [Laughs] Nintendo’s infamous coin-snatcher? I told you I suck at this! Why am I being stupid? Wait, do you mean Mario? [Laughs] Wait, what are we talking about here?
Bitmob: The answer is actually Wario.
AH: Wario! I was only one consonant off. I think you should just give me that. I don’t have time to play games, dude! I barely have time to make them, much less play them.

3. You’ve worked on a vampire video game series, so you’ve probably heard of BloodRayne. But you probably haven’t seen the movie (or at least we hope not). Regardless, guess how many Razzies it was nominated for in 2006:
A) 0, B) 2, C) 6, D) 10
AH: I’m just going to have to guess, but even before you told me the numbers, I had “six” in my head.
Bitmob: That’s correct.
AH: See! Look at that. I read your mind.

4. You’ve also worked on the Jax and Daxter series, which is known for having both a hero and sidekick. So tell us: Which of these video game sidekicks has not starred in his own game?
A) Yoshi, B) Diddy Kong, C) Tails, D) Rush
AH: What’s the fourth one?
Bitmob: Rush from Mega Man.
AH: That must be it, because all the other ones have their own games.
Bitmob: Correct.

5. You work for Naughty Dog. So does co-president Evan Wells. Well, last year, gaming blog MTV Multiplayer selected Evan to help choose the best dog in video games. Can you name the dog that ended up winning?
AH: No! I don’t know that one.
Bitmob: It’s PaRappa the Rapper.
AH: Oh my god — I don’t even think of him as a dog. Dogs don’t wear hats!

Final Score: 3 Points
Not too shabby, Amy! Using our t-shirt tucking damage monitor, it appears you’re still sporting around a one-fourth tuck, which by our standards, is still high enough to warrant wearing sunglasses inside without looking like a total weirdo.
