    Digital or Physical?

    in Red Dead Redemption 2

    I want the physical copy. I am old school and like feeling like feeling like my younger self ripping off the cellophane and getting a whiff of the toxic plastic fumes when I pop the case open.  

    Could not agree more. For some reason, when I buy the digital version, I feel like I just illegally downloaded a pirated copy from Napster.

    AND -- The way I usually get new games is for Christmas/birthdays. Kinda hard to wrap a digital version.

    What 3 things are you most looking forward to doing?

    Mission: Seth's parents have crossed the gang by talking to "the law".  You and members of the gang visit the Briars homestead, and one of the outcomes is killing Seth's parents and burying him alive with their corpses.

    Dude. I'm glad YOU didn't live in the 1800's.  😌

    Maybe he's an orphan and living with a cruel family who uses him as slave labor? Then maybe the gang visits the farm and sees how they treat Seth. So they decide to pop them all to do Seth "a favor." But they leave him with their rotting corpses -- which he now likes them much better this way since they can no longer hurt him. So he starts developing an unnatural affection for them in that state.

    Blecch. What are we discussing??!! Video games ought not to give one such heebie-jeebies.

    Cars in RDR2? Maybe?

    Here's my take:

    R* is most well known for their Grand Theft AUTO series. As such, it seemed a necessity for them to include an automobile in RDR. While you, as the player, got to ride in (and shoot from) it, you were never allowed to drive it -- which Rockstar later admitted was probably a mistake.

    That said, they DO have ample opportunity to remedy that problem here. To the OP's point, there were some decent automobiles available in 1899.

    With this crew being modeled after "The Wild Bunch," it's not outlandish to think that if one of those gang members had come across an actual automobile, they would have tried to swipe it for a fun joyride.

    I can picture Dutch or Arthur discovering a single-cylinder 1899 Packard locked-up in a barn somewhere and taking it for a spin.

    This would not only remedy the flak they got from not making the car driveable in RDR, but would also be a nice nod to their top franchise.

    Will RDR Online be as exciting as GTAO?

    Then they'll have to release a Killer Queen pack.

    I hear she's dynamite with a laser beam.

    Edit: @Cokeyskunk, the only issue with editing a post is that I'm unable to quote new material when editing a post.  Of course, I could just be a dullard who doesn't know how to do it properly...  No, it's the software that is to blame!

    See???

    Anyone buying BFV?

    but that's more due to the fact that I'm a "one game at at time" kind of guy

    Great. Thanks, Bropollo. Now I'll be singing the theme song to One Day At A Time all morning, but subbing out "Day" for "Game."

    Come to think of it, thinking all morning of the wacky antics of Pat Harrington Jr. as "Schneider" isn't quite so bad . . .

    Interesting shots showing visible organs through dead eye

    That was part of a bug/issue with the game. The gif is from this video:

    I don't know if they ever fixed it.

    This made me think of something: I know it would have been oogie, but shouldn't dynamite have blown animals and people into body parts . . . ?

    In the original RDR, they just rag-dolled in the air and landed dead. Would have been much better if they tore to pieces.

    The same with shooting people with a shotgun - you could walk up to a dead body, shoot them in the face with your shotgun from a foot away, and they just kinda shift. It would have been much better if it had made the head just -- kinda -- atomize.

    Hope they fix that in RDR2.

    There's so many great parts in that film, but the one that always makes me crack up is when Taggart and the raiders are slowed down by the William J. Le Petomane Thuway.  "Somebody's gotta go back and get a s---load of dimes!"

    I die laughing every time.

    That, and when Bart shows up at the labor camp again,:

    Charlie: "They said you was hung."

    Bart: "And they was right".

    They'd never make that film nowadays.  Hell, I'm surprised it hasn't been banned outright.

    Those are two of my favorites! I laugh my butt off at the dimes and the "Baby, they was RIGHT!" line every time.

    Two more of my favorites:

     

    Lamarr: "Just think about your secretaryyyy . . . "

     

    Bart: "What do YOU like to do?"
    Jim: "I don' know . . . play chess . . . screw . . . "
    Bart: "Well, let's play chess."

    High Plains Drifter may be my second favorite. Bad ass when he paints the town red.

    Could not agree more. In fact, the mods have even been discussing this film quite a bit! Riveting story.

    Pro tip: Blazing Saddles is available to stream as part of the Amazon Prime package right now.

    One of my all-time favorites. I only got the "I am not from Havana!" joke a couple of years ago. Leave it to Mel Brooks to tell a joke it takes you 40 years to get.

    I’m going to throw in Christmas to the list. Yeah its great when you’re a kid and get loads of presents but once you’re past that stage its just 6 weeks of hype building up to one day and is over before you know it. 

    This is true until you have your own children who get excited about it. I adored Christmas as a kid, then it waned as I got into my teens and early twenties. But when my first child started to love Christmas, it came back to me full-force. The spirit of giving really overtakes the spirit of receiving when that happens.
