    Edit: for reference, Mrs. Creed was a state champion in discus in high school, and won the ACC Championship three straight years ('95-'97).  I married so far above my pay grade, it's ridiculous.

    Yeah, I married pretty well up, too. Just don't tell Mrs. Skunk that.

    Thoughts on dogs as online companions?

    in Red Dead Online

    Maybe I am alone here but I don't think it is a good idea. Like for one, we will already have horses which will likely react to sounds and animals nearby. For all we know, they will alert us of other players being close by so in that sense, why would we need a dog to alert us? Another thing to that comes to mind is what C0re mentioned, people would end up just trolling each other by killing their dogs. I put dogs int he same category as kids getting shot at. I just don't want to see it in a game. It is one thing if the animals are wild but comes on. It will be bad enough knowing your horse can get killed by other players. 

    I think they should make dogs unkillable. Just have them run off when fired at or near an explosion.

    Digital or Physical?

    Just guilt your s.o. into buying it for you like I did.  Leave it up on Amazon and walk away from the laptop.  I usually do this after intentionally browsing things for her and our kids first, so when she inevitably sees the browsing history.....

     

    You have an s.o. who picks up on stuff like that. Mine would just close it and head to Google Images to get inspiration for her next party invitation or cake creation.

    The only game I ever pre-ordered was Friday the 13th, and that's because I got in on a special with Amazon to have it delivered on release day for less than 20 bucks. Something tells me RDR2 is going to be siiiiggggnnnifffiiiccannnntttlllyyyyy more than than, so I'll just wait until Christmas to receive it as a gift, and watch videos and listen to all the members' wonderful spoiler-free stories and advice until then.

    Mrs. Creed met me shortly after this and was always dubious as to whether or not it was true, until our wedding night, when I knocked out about 15-18 pints during our reception (about five hours).

    That was from a beer tasting my lady and I hosted a couple weeks ago

    I think Mrs. Creed and Mrs. Goons should get together one night to argue over whose guy can drink more.  😁

    Replayability

    in Red Dead Redemption 2

    Posted

    I played the RDR single-player mode to its fruition throughout 2010 - 2011. Then I played multiplayer from 2011 to about 2015. I got really good at it. Always had the top scores in the games and almost was never beaten in the beginning Showdowns.

    That said, I never returned to single player until just this year. (STILL had my game saves from 2010!) About a month or so ago, I started the single-player campaign over and, once again, found Marston standing in front of Fort Mercer, calling out Bill Williamson. I'm about three-quarters through with the campaign now, and honestly, I'm just doing it in order to brush-up on my skills again to try RDR Multiplayer again, and THAT'S only so I can be brushed-up for when I start the single-player campaign on RDR2 this December. And THAT will be so I can be ready for RDR2 multiplayer.

    It's all the means to an end for me.

    But I fully intend to enjoy the journey.

    I'm definitely going to play the storyline first from beginning to end. Then I will jump online. As far as going back and replaying it again is concerned, I imagine that over the next few years I will replay the story line several times over just as I did in RDR. I have played the RDR storyline probably about 6 or 7 times now. I always learn something new every time I do it LOL

    What would you say was your biggest discovery in one of your re-playthroughs that you'd missed before?

    Of course, being 6'4" and 225lbs certainly helps.

    You lucky sod. For years, I have collected Darth Vader memorabilia. My desk at work is covered in Vader-swag. I even have my own suit I've mostly constructed myself (except the helmet/mask)

    . . . but I'm 5'11.

    Vader is supposed to be 6'7"

    . . . any idea how UN-intimidating it is to be around a squatty Vader??

    I wish I were 6'4". And in fact, my doctor tells me I probably would have been (as many other dudes in my family have been), but because I started smoking when I was 13, I now have the upper body of a 6'4" man, and the legs of a 5'6" teenager.

    You'd make a great Vader . . .

    That was ten years ago this year, and I bet I could at least do 30 in a day with no issues, even now.

    Holy cats.

    And I have to assume you're not 8 feet tall and weigh 680 lbs?

    You must have the liver of a demigod.

    I won a bet when I was in college, and, having paid my tuition and costs for the quarter, decided to knock an item off my bucket list.

    It was worth it.

    I must know how much you won on the bet, and how much this little amazing endeavor cost you.

    I also may or may not have even filled a bathtub with a 2 kegs of it at one point and soaked in it while watching college football for an entire day (and it may or may not have been the best day of my life).

    In theory, that sounds amazing.

    In practice, that sounds like:

    • You're either in a tub of warm, comfortable beer (but drinking warm beer), or you're drinking ice cold beer (and so freezing your butt off)
    • Letting the beer you drink touch every orifice of your body
    • You either have to drink it all within one day, or else pull the drain and start crying

    Doc: It's no use Marty! Even the fastest horse in the world can't run 
    more than 35, 40 miles an hour.

    Secretariat? Seabiscuit? Maybe.

    Dave the horse? 30. tops.

    The car at 35-40MPH would still eek them out.

    What 3 things are you most looking forward to doing?

    1. Playing the story- R* are excellent story tellers. I can’t wait to see what adventure they’ve developed over the last 8 years. 

    2. Bonding with my horse-  I played RDR with three horses. The first one didn’t die until more than halfway through the game when a cougar got her. Of course she spawned right back. But even back then, I fought to keep my horse alive. She never caught a bullet or was rode to death. I am totally stoked to now be bonding with another, when the stakes are high. Permanent death. You bet your ass I’ll be loaded up on meds and carrots. 

    3. The world- My god. I think we’re all in for a f*cking treat with this one. Look at those trailers. Did you see the snowy mountains? The rolling hills? The fields? The developing towns? The desert? The redwood forests? Dynamic weather! Wildlife!  On The 26th, if you listen closely, you can hear the minds of a million dork’s exploding. Let’s do this sh*t. 

    I had a great horse in RDR. Kept her for almost the entire campaign. Then, I made the mistake of calling for her while I was running out of the mine shaft at the bottom of the cliff. 

    She spawned at the top of the cliff and, like a loyal horse, ran right toward me. She fell about 80 feet to her death.

    Right at my feet.

    At the time, that felt worse than it probably should've.

    Those old cars didn't move all that fast though did they? I am pretty sure a horse would be faster but I could be wrong. I don't need cars. Give me all the horses. 

    I think they topped out at 35MPH which, I believe, is a tiny bit faster than a horse.
