My preference is to Hogtie him, put him on the nearest train tracks and wait for it to come you need the patience of a saint, but it is god damned worth it.

Once you get the hand of the mini-games they're actually all pretty fun. I wasted an hour or so just playing poker.

(Five Finger Fillet is still stupid though)

I also learned that high powered rifles make beavers (and other small mammals) explode.

I shot a bird with the bolt action and just sort of stared at the puff of feathers drifting slowly across the setting Mexican sun.

Damn Meister. You love your cougars.

Not like this but I did at various points see a few crates floating in mid-air above a road (some riders actually got caught on them), a large rock with a horse's ass sticking out of it, and in one mission the game didn't spawn my horse so I got on my companion's horse by mistake, as it looked almost exactly like mine, and was very confused why the game would prompt me to "get on my mount" and why the guy wouldn't move from where he was. Had to fail and restart the mission to get things right.

e: the donkey woman works amazingly well for what I assume is just the wrong model / properties loaded. This should be a cheat.

Looks like this weekend there's going to be a 30 minute RDR animated film on Fox. It's directed by John Hillcoat, who has also directed The Proposition, a Western set in Australia in which an outlaw has to track down his brother or the law is going to execute his other brother. Pretty good movie (and, as a fun fact, it was written by Nick Cave). I hope I'll be able find this streaming somewhere.

As if it wasn't cruel enough already. Swear she just happened to get laid down in that position.

Just about running out of things to do in single player. Probably about time I gave this multiplayer a proper shot. Sir Henry Beer on Live. (May not talk much. Drop me a line so I know broadly who you are, if you'd be so kind.)

I officially got revenge against the cougars. I was riding around in the Great Plains, and shortly after I killed the last of the Buffalo (it's not my fault they are easy targets, and tasty, and 5 gamerscore) I came across a cougar that was just lounging there. It didn't even notice me, let alone murder my horse and then me. So I ride up, hope off my horse, and just as the cougar starts to stand up I stab it with my knife. Now to my surprise, this cougar starts to run away. So I hop back on my horse and start chasing it down. The bastard wouldn't stop running so I pull out my lasso, caught the cougar, then jumped off my horse and finished him off with another knife stab. Most satisfying cougar kill ever.

Will do! (If it's not on a specifically pirating site.)

Meanwhile, I'm pretty sure I actually liked the way Dead Eye on level 2 worked better than on level 3. It's really hard sometimes to spot enemies that are shooting at you from very far away, and automatic shot placement helped a lot with that. :/

Arcanum · 05-26-2010, 11:37 PM

I agree. While level 3 is good for challenges and precision stuff (damn you "disarming 6 people without reloading or switching guns" challenge!) level 2 was easier and faster to use. I'm glad the multiplayer uses level 2 though (minus the slowdown of course).

edit/repost: Here's a trailer for that short film. Looks like a trailer for the actual game to me.
