Dutch = Liam Neeson He certainly has the chops for long winded monologues.

John Marston = Keanu Reeves Reeves will be in the video game Cyberpunk 2077.

A scene in every western movie ever made: The camera slowly pans back from an overhead view. There is man laying in bed motionless, his body riddled with bullet holes and barely clinging to sweet life. Days pass into night in a endless cycle as a lovely woman carefully wipes his forehead with a wet rag and silently prays at his bedside. Finally a spark of light appears from his eyes and he slowly raises from the bed. Yes.....he is a broken man as he struggles to swallow spoonful of soup, knowing that his antagonists will soon return to finish the job they started. Scene: A row of bottles and empty cans line the top rail of an old wooden fence, Gunshots ring out! But the scene remains static until we see a bottle explode. The camera pans back to the rancher. His left arm is cradled in a sling but his right hand firmly grasps his pistol as smoke curls from it's barrel. His aim is slow and erratic at first, but we then see a multitude of rusted cans, suspended in midair, with bullet holes in their centers. The bad guys return, he shoots the guns out of the hands of the sidekicks and plants a shot in the forehead of their leader. If his wife had returned those bottle and cans to the recycling center the week previously......?

My Arthur always rinsed his cans and put them in the recycling bin. Your Arthur was probably raised by the Murfree Brood and fed plastic straws to baby turtles just for fun. 🤨

Detroit , Michigan Move to Hazel Park. It's just like Kentucky but with more trailer parks.

It appears that my ex son in law left his Netflix password on my roku when he was here several years ago. Oh, my! 😮 As I recall, his last words to me were..........Senile...........Old..........What????.😮 "Roma" is a very good movie. I think my wife wants to watch "Bird Box" next.

White Russians are delightful concoction of Vodka, Kahlua and cream. (For a more healthy version I use 2% milk to replace the cream.) They were made popular by the American film icon, Jeffery Lebowski, in the classic film, The Big Lebowski. In real life, they help boost my stamina core and refill my dead eye bar. Yep. Back in the day we were relegated to a 15" monitor, a steel folding chair and stuck in the corner of a cold basement. Two hours of that meant numb ass cheeks and a trip upstairs to take a 10 minute whiz. You either took a break or faced some nasty consequences.

Save that malice....You are going to need it later in the game. Be careful with the marathons. I was doing all-nighters and white Russians until I discovered the wonders of severe eyestrain. Pixelated vision, night blindness and massive headaches arent as glamorous as they sound. I dont mean to be Captain Bringdown but I had to quit playing for a month. Just an old guy tip.

I think this game is directly pointed at us seniors. I certainly didn't trade in my controller to get my medicare card and I am pretty sure Rockstar understands we are still a viable market and they will do what they can to keep us around. Boomers are still 25% of the population and have the disposable income. I have been gaming since Pong and I am not going to suddenly change my lifestyle because of a calendar glitch. Besides toddlers, who has more recreational time to burn than us? Red Dead westerns hits us right in our youthful sweetspot. Movies, radio and television were dominated by westerns, war themes and gangsters. Our parents handed us plastic cap guns and chased us outside to create our own 1st person shooters with our friends. Who didnt want to be the Lone Ranger or Cisco Kid? I have some of the same problems as you, Pebbledash, My memory is fine but my recall is terrible. I keep a cheat sheet near for most controller moves. I am quite capable of forgetting how to mount my horse if I havent played in a week. I've punched him more than I care to admit and he always forgives me. I was a factory rat or a mechanic for 50 years and my hands are full of arthritis and bone spurs. I get by, but its good to see that manufactures are producing controllers for people with disabilities. The game is also quite good at letting you play at your own pace. I would avoid going to camp for days just so I could avoid missions. I spent a lot of time exploring the map and avoiding confrontations until I had pretty good grasp of how the game played. I would deadeye chipmunks and rabbits just for practice. This game also has some pretty reasonable enemies. No 50 foot tall acid spitting monsters that take an hour to kill. The game is interesting enough so that I never felt a need to rush thru it. As far as being to old to play games? I was 40 when I started and people would ask,"Arent you a bit to old to be playing a kids video game?" I always considered it as my hobby and just as reasonable as collecting stamps. Enjoy the rest of your game!

Whatever they decide to do, they better get on it. Nobody is going to wait around for 7 years for the next episode.

5. Arthur was originally supposed to be bisexual and you could pursue a sort of tragic romance with Charles, whom was originally supposed to admit to being gay if you got close to him. It was only after you learned about the TB so Arthur was okay admitting his attraction to other men because he knew he was going to die anyways. but he'd write in his diary about being sexually confused throughout the game. That got removed because you can only get gay stereotypes into the mainstream media. Is he a PS4 or Xbox guy?

It appears that they have patched the Barrow Lagoon boarder crossing point and it no longer works. Too bad, it was a fun way to get to the dark side. But as Dutch taught us, if one stupid plan doesn't work then just move onto the next stupid plan. The video below shows another method to enter the northlands.

"There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call the Twilight Zone." I spent most of my time trying to avoid the mesh. It looks like you embraced it. When I did fall thru, I would either land in Guarma or die and wind up back on the main map. Only once did I catch a spot where I got caught in and endless fall and I just shut down the game to get back to the main map. As I recall, that area was up in the extreme northeast corner of the map while I was searching for the source of the Lannahechee River. Maybe with some more exploration and a bit of luck we will find the home planet of the Mt. Shann spacecraft or an undermap entrance to the Hobbit cabin. How freakin cool would that be? Trek on, brother explorer! At least we found the DLC expansion pack that Rockstar will never give us.

That is indeed a strange place. I spent quite a few hours wandering along its shore to see where I would wind up. I eventually gave up and shared a couple sticks of dynamite with my horse because we were totally lost without any hope of finding our way back to anywhere. I never did find an edge to it.

I appreciate Renatos review of "West of Loathing" but it is forcing me to make a difficult choice. I am down to my last $11 of this months SS check and I dont know if I should sh!t or go blind.😕

I suspect the Lutherans. They have been ticked since 1521 and they don't let stuff slide.

Apparently Paris doesnt have a Newscopter4 either. If there was a trashcan fire around where I live, there would be 6 local news outlets fighting for airspace. I hope the pope has good insurance. Priceless stuff ain't cheap.

"The graphics are stunning!" says Helen Kellers ghost.

Because I couldnt find a package limburger cheese at local stores, I was forced into ordering 2 lbs. of it through Amazon. (Because I am old and I do stupid things) Hard rye bread, limburger, thinly sliced onions, mustard, topped with garlic salt. Wash it down with a Hefeweizen or two and you are good to go. (or not) I have been eating one for lunch, every day, for the past two week and I still have a pound remaining. My wife is no longer speaking to me and my morning constitutional has turned into a 3 day event. It's like breech birthing a large skunk and I keep a pair of scissors handy, just in case I need to do a quick episiotomy before my eyes pop out and land on the bathroom floor. They are quite delicious though.

Highlighting in white followed by black on black print. Do you also like driving in traffic with your High-beams on?

You young guys be careful out there. You may be thinking 24 and smokin'...........While she's thinking Tollhouse or Oatmeal Raisin.

Be sure to get one of these bumper stickers when you retire. Your kids will LOL when they dump your ass outside of the Thrifty Acres Nursing Home.

I've been retired for 7 years. I spend most of my time playing hide and seek with the old lady.

"One eyed Jacks" (1961) Marlon Brando, Carl Malden, Slim Pickins. This movie started out with Stanley Kubrick directing but wound up with Brando directing it, the only movie that Brando ever directed. It's a free view on Prime video and Tubi TV but do yourself a favor and find it on YouTube. The Prime version is really a poor print so find the HD versions on YouTube or elsewhere.

Because life is just one long laugh track and I am too old to dance.
