Hey, if my camp needs a cook, then that's how I'll acquire one.  Preferably one with all his fingers and toes--no need for "secret ingredients"

Just picked up Fire Pro Wrestling World for the PS4, and I'm blown away by how much fun I'm having with it.

Yes, the graphics are supposed to look like that:

I don't like lettuce or tomatoes, so I just eat bacon sandwiches.

I'll have to find the pictures, but a few weeks ago, I made a stromboli that had a bacon weave layer just inside the dough, ala Epic Meal Time style.  

For the record, that sucker had pastrami, pepperoni, bacon bits, croutons, spicy pizza sauce, and mexican five cheese blend inside it as well.

Meet me on RDR2 online one week after it drops. We will have an old west shootout and I will take your video game life. How is that? 

Careful, @D3x may just have Tammy 1 or Tammy 2 fight that battle instead.

[Starting off solo?]

There something pire about the single player experience that has been list from gaming.  The principal reason I have been looking forward to this has been for the single player experience.  Multiplayer will always be there for me, like beer , friends, or a warm blanket, but for me, the RDR experience deserves the respect of my undivided attention.  I shall bask in it splenor and majesty before devilci g into the ceaspit of filth that is online gaming.

I have no idea what this means

About ten-fifteen years ago, there was a popular series here in the States called CSI (Crime Scene Investigation) that proved very popular with middle aged Americans (then the largest demographic, the "Baby Boomers).  The show was so popular, they created multiple spinoffs, including CSI: Miami, which starred David Caruso (actor in the gif).  One of the recurring gags in the show involved the cold-open where, more often than not, Caruso's character named--I kid you not--Horatio Cain-- would break the tension at the crime Scene with a cheesy line of dialogue or pun, whilst putting on his sunglasses, promptly followed by the show's opening credits, which used The Who's "We won't get fooled again".

Sample for reference:

It's a common meme when invoking a bad pun.  Massive was the studio that bitched the launch of The Division.  To be fair, they've recovered nicely, but that launch was abhorrent.

Missed opportunity, right there.  If you had put "Massive" in quotation marks, you could have turned it into a Tom Clancy's: The Division joke and followed up with a Horatio Caine sunglasses gif.  Like this:

His hair and clothing will be customizable for sure but it works how Benjo mentioned. 

I find it more realistic and appealing. Like you might be given the option to shave or have your hair cut but if you don't bother, you look like someone who lives out the woods.

I'm going to dress him in the latest fashions from San Francisco, as I fancy him as a dandy.  He will have proper hogs fat in his hair, and finely waxed mustaches.  Perhaps a monocle, if available as an option, along with a pipe.

[Random Server Drops?]

Do it as a Wells Fargo stage coach that can be robbed by the player if online at random times.

Or better yet, have it happen at a set time in different parts of the map, but never publish the information.

Next, please tell us a bit about yourself by creating a new thread in the "Introduce Yourself" section:

Just don't overshare, @MementoMori.  Otherwise you end up telling people about the time you vacated your bowels in your pants at work as an adult, like I did.

Edit: gotta get that past the filter, right @Cokeyskunk?

Damn, two for two on that post.  Nice.

Although, it does suck for the family of the person who did that to themselves.  As a parent, I'd be devastated if my kids chose that path--I've seen the toll it takes on the people who are touched by that kind of selfish indulgence: they don't deserve that.

I don't know about "complete moron", but it's not outside the realm of probability to gauge that individual's politics.

 

[Are you happy RDR2 has a single protagonist?]

I'm fine with it for the story mode, provided they have a robust customization suite for the online component.

I've never been a big fan of shifting the narrative between multiple main characters in a game.  It breaks the immersion, and it's extremely difficult to pull off without sabotaging the experience for the user.  Halo 2 was the last time it was done well, imo (I loved playing as the Arbiter, his story was fantastic).  Recent games have struggled with this for the most part.
