I'd like to see you get so drunk that you can intermittently lose control of your character, and that those moments include your character doing things that get you in trouble.... such as shooting a random NPC, smashing a bottle on the ground, or even begin vomiting uncontrollably.

Do you think RDR2 would have done better as a fall release...
X S replied to Looney Dan's topic in Red Dead Redemption 2
There was a lot of competition this fall with the releases of Mario, LA Noire, Shadow of War, GT Sport, Forza, Destiny 2, COD WWII, Battlefront 2, AC: Origins, Wolfenstein 2, and now PUBG. That's one angle you have to consider, less expendable income during the holidays. Little to no competition during the Spring. -
The Court wasn't "in favor of it", per say. It was simply the removal of restrictions placed on it by lower courts in a majority 7-2 decision. More specifically, the Court can only interpret the laws, so when it comes to Executive authority, they apply the black-letter law as it is written, which gives the president the authority to engage in such matters. If you understand how the law works and the way the justice system operates, it should have been no surprise. They were initially filed in circuits that are routinely overturned by the Supreme Court. As for context, the original draft was intended to place a temporary ban on the listed Muslim-majority nations until the DHS could implement extreme vetting. I think the timeline was about 6 or 10 months, but that period has already ended, so regardless of what the SC decided, it would have had no effect on its implementation. At this point, it seems to be a game of political ping-pong that the Executive branch will most certainly win because the office is bigger than one man. Just because the President might seem to have some evil ulterior motives does not give the courts authority to muddy the waters concerning laws for national security priorities, laws that every president needs at their disposal given some unforeseen event.

I've honestly never heard of that. I'm sure exotic fish are shipped, but even those are probably only locally shipped. I also wouldn't feel comfortable knowing USPS or UPS is handling a live animal in a box.

I have some similar, Jamesie. I have a gold cross necklace, but it's not viable as I wear under my shirt. Always wear a watch, though. Up until recently I started wearing a smart watch instead of a hefty classic watch. Now it's a Samsung Gear S3. I like the feel of something heavy on my wrist. I don't know why.

I live in the NY area, and we got a wiff of that cold front, too. Wind chill was 27 degrees today. What did I do? I went out and ran a few miles in it. lol
-
For anyone who's interested, the game is now available for pre-order on PS4 and XB1 consoles. Just snagged my copy. It's selling for $40.

I just caught this video from Digital Foundry, and they point out the improvements in RDR2's RAGE engine. At first, I didn't really notice how much superior RDR2 looks to the original, but the side-by-side comparisons really help highlight the differences and improvements.
-
Very nice. Excellent photography. You should share them on social media. I must warn you, though, I wasn't the least fooled, but only because I've played GTA V ad nauseam.

What do you think the next trailer will reveal for us?
X S replied to Skrylaxx's topic in Red Dead Redemption 2
Although I don't like to speculate to much on trailers, I would actually hate to see Online in the next trailer. I've grown to resent GTA Online for its success, and stealing time and resources away from the possibility of GTA Story Mode DLC. -
If it's not in the vanilla game, I'd hope to see it added later like it was for GTA V. And since Rockstar is already attempting this with LA Noire's remaster on next gen consoles, there could be a lot of VR potential for their games in the future.

The closer we get, thoughts on a PC release for Fall 2018/ Spring 2019?
X S replied to Reyes's topic in Red Dead Redemption 2
I'm going to say 'yes' because the state of PC gaming has changed in recent years. Although it's still a much smaller market, it's growing exponentially year over year. This is evident given the recent direction of Sony and Microsoft rushing to keep pace and compete with superior PC hardware, and the recent increase in manufacturers focusing development and innovation on hardware specifically targeted towards gaming, ie. Asus, MSI, EVGA, etc. Also, I don't know much about game development, and someone correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't "porting" console games much easier today given the similar x86 architecture now used in both consoles and PC's? I think even COD's most recent WWII port has been considered the most stable it's ever been, and that's saying a lot. -
Chances are it's nothing more than advertising rights. Even when they said PS4 would get "exclusive" content with the next gen version GTA V, it turned out that this also meant all platforms would be getting the content. The content was 2 cars and some in-game cash. Regardless, I have an XB1X pre-ordered, so I'll most likely purchase it on there, rather than my PS4.

There's also a grizzly bear in that scene, and grizzlies, during that time, only lived as far west as Kansas, Nebraska, and the Dakotas. So I think we're going to get another fictional map that is comprised of these different environments that include a southern Louisiana/Alabama swamp area, sort of how GTA V's map has its own separated urban and rural environments.
-
Yep. I was using Flux, too, until Windows just integrated it in the OS. If you open your notification panel, it should be one of the new tiles called "Night light".

He always kind of reminded me of Curly from Tombstone.

Take-Two wants the RedDeadOnline.com domain
X S replied to Nima021King's topic in Red Dead Redemption 2
Yep, T2 can "take" it. It's called domain or cyber squatting. Unless he was using it for a website of his own, he won't have much luck keeping it. -
Recognized Dutch's voice immediately, and then he says his name.

I used to have bad sleeping hours, but now I force myself to sleep so that I don't regrettably feel like crap the next day. It can be difficult to get to sleep, though. Using the computer, TV or cell phone at night certainly doesn't help. I use the Night Light feature on Win10 at night, and I believe there's a similar feature on Android phones.

Can't say it's so much of a Halloween song as my favorite music from a horror movie. Also: I love that the game Alien Isolation had it as the menu music.
-
I would just advise to also get something you know you won't regret. I know that sounds pretty obvious, but of all the times I even thought about getting certain tattoos, I'm glad I picked something that would never change about me. I specifically chose to get one of my surname coat of arms. My sister, on the other hand, just recently got out of a pretty emotional relationship, and she got a tattoo that expressed her feelings about it in one word. Unfortunately, I just couldn't get myself to say, "You're probably gonna regret that one."

I really hate you for linking this site lol.... I just filled up 5 things in my Amazon cart with the urge to buy.

It's definitely relative. When I was younger, I remember we had one summer with a few big hurricanes. I think we reached letter 'S' in the alphabet of naming them because we had so many. That was like 20 years ago. The last two most recent hurricanes, Harvey and Irma, are pretty standard operation. It's when hurricanes start hitting the Northeast cost people start to panic, but even those events occur every 100 years or so. I think a category 3 hurricane hit New York in 1938, and that was a longgggg time ago.

L.A. Noire Coming for the PS4, Xbox One, Switch and HTC Vive on November 14
X S replied to Alborghetti's topic in Off-Topic
Definitely buying this, even though I already own the PC version. I've noticed they upgraded textures for 4K on the new console versions, and I'd like to support Rockstar in the hopes that sales of it would help spur the need for a sequel, so please take my money. -
The only decent version I've seen is Vid.me, but I don't think it will gain much steam unless some major YT'er like Pewds starts exclusively offering content on there.
