THIS is why I stock up on the Totino's Party Pizzas!! They're A BUCK EACH!!! Eat THREE, fer'cryssake!!

As did I. But mine was $7. I do agree with @BropolloCreed79 - they ARE quite tasty, but I could have paid .99 cents more and gotten a fresh Large 3-topping from Pizza Hut or Domino's. I was glad to have tried the Screamin' Sicilian, and my kiddos liked playing with the cardboard mustaches - but next time, I think I'll just pay the extra buck.

Does that also include Hogan's Heroes?

Historical. One for the books.

Couldn't agree more. Three was just too many, especially considering one was a complete psychopath. I would have rather only played as Michael, then assisted the other two with their missions. If they HAD to switch characters, I would have rather Michael get hospitalized (or even killed), and you have to CHOOSE whether you proceed as Franklin or Trevor -- at least until Michael recovered. Again, I'm not against playing as another character when the main character is unavailable or eliminated, but I did not care for the, "Hmm, I think I'll be Franklin now"-style of playing. But they FORCED you to play as these other players or else you couldn't complete the missions in the game. I'll say it again -- I won't mind it if we play as Morgan for 90% of the game, then (AFTER HIS DEATH, or retirement, or whatever) you finish up as Marston. That's a necessity, rather than an option. Almost like a tribute to the fallen player, instead of "Okay, let's go huff some gasoline with Trevor now." 😒

The way I quit was, I switched to a pipe. Yeah, like a tradinional "grandpaw pipe." I bought a cheap one, and pipe tobacco is mega-cheap. It gave me some fulfillment for smoking, but it was more maintenance to fill it, light it, keep it clean, tote it around. I started smoking less and less because of that. After awhile, I just stopped wanting to fool with it anymore and mess up my pipe that was clean. Might try that. Worked for me. (and hey! You'll look sophisticated!)

HEYYYYY!! Good on ya, brother!! You just extended your life by many years! I smoked for 13 years and finally quit 16 years ago. Sure, I'll still have a cigar on campouts a few times a year, but that's the extent of it. I'll tell ya: it'll really suck for about a year. Then, the smell of cigarette smoke (especially in peoples' clothes) will NAUSEATE you. It's awful, and I'm embarrassed to know I walked around smelling like that. Proud of ya, Chief. Keep on it.

That stinks. Sorry to hear it, Fred. What do you do for a living?

Technically, it's a tuber.

Oh? Can it do a roundhouse kick? Does it bleed beer? Will it be your wingman in a karaoke bar? Does it cover for you at work when you wake up in some back alley? Define "awesome".

Yep, I was included in the discussion. Still, I would be shocked to have Marston be a completely NON-playable character. Especially considering his franchise history.

Call me nuts, but I don't read this as "We will only be playing as Arthur." Ye, I suspect we'll be Arthur for most of the game (if not all), but remember in RDR1 - At the end, after John's death, you played as Jack. And there were other missions to perform. Also, John never once mentions Arthur in RDR1. I suspect that's because he's dead in 1911. I wouldn't be shocked to have Arthur gunned down in the beginning of the third act, and to finish up as a younger Marston.

Anything that helps with immersion, I am all for.

Cap all you want. But don't let this distract you from the fact that Freedent's the one that took the "stick" out of gum.

Can I play? . . . or rather, get my groove on?

Well, honestly, there are stigmas with almost everything lately. I very much doubt an edgy company like Rockstar wants to deal with the criticism which comes with conveniently ignoring certain aspects of history simply because they're not politically correct today. Like the guff schools are getting for pulling books like Tom Sawyer and To Kill A Mockingbird from their libraries.

Breakfasttime?

Eh, I'm a sucker for cracker-crust pizza.

Looks good, but like @Truth, I'm a cheap SOB. But I may have to try one once. What store sells them? That's why you get THREE, dude! C'maaaan, keep up! . . . and at a buck a piece, how could you complain?

I like those. My favorite of all time (and my guilty pleasure) are those damn Totino's Party Pizzas. I sprinkle them with Italian seasoning and fennel seed, bake them up, and it's an instant 10-minute walk through paradise. In fact, I like little more than when I get to stay home from work and Mrs. Skunk and the Skunklings all are out of the house for the day. I stock up on those pizzas, make THREE of them throughout the day, then binge-watch The Office, MacGyver, and Westerns on Netflix all day. I love my family. But on those days, I'm kinda sad when they come home. 😏

What brand was it?

I actually have a rather grim hope about this game. It involves two game dynamics that actually existed in the original game: lasso/hogtie "Put victim on horse" In the original game, you could only lay the "victim" across the horse's butt. Suppose in this game if you could put your "victim" on the saddle of a horse (maybe even yours), and if you find a tree, you can throw the rope over a branch, tie a noose around the guys neck, and even slap the horse's butt to execute the poor you-know-what. Yes, it's grim. But it might actually also add a GREAT feature to the game - coercion. Meaning you could also use it as a tactic to get information out of people. Tie them up, put 'em on their horse, string them up, and threaten to swat the horse if they don't talk. Whether or not you actually DO swat the horse afterward is up to you. And your Honor goes up or down accordingly. I know it's grim, but hangings were a huge part of the Old West. (especially in the Romantic retellings). Would that not be an awesome feature??
