It's not exactly breaking news, but TC ain't wrong at all. All the right has is hate and that's what they love. They want to see those they see as lesser humans be persecuted and harmed if not killed. I live in Mississippi and the average conservative doesn't talk about deregulation and being fiscally responsible, they go on about racism and bigotry. They talk about "building a wall to keep them Mexicans out" and "don't want no ***s in schools corruptin mah kids!" and so on. That's all they want out of the Republican party. I'm sure it's the same everywhere else.

BB was all a dream of Hal's anyway.

If they make a 3 I want it to be set in the heyday of the west and not have anything to do with the Van der Lind gang besides a reference or two maybe. Or I'd even like a sequel where you play as Jack as a prhoibition era bank robber like John Dillinger or someone like that with maybe a Chicago based city where you get mixed up in an Irish/Italian gang war.

"Oh baby, you are so talented and they are so dumb."

And they'd probably bitch about The Producers too.

I too found the difference in tone jarring between the two games. I replayed RDR1 immediately after finishing RDR2 for the first time, and John doesnt even feel like the same guy. Plus the writing in general just doesn't feel as well thought out, and there are entire legs of the story where it makes no sense for John to be doing what he's doing

John is a bit more wise with age and more of a smart ass. I like it though even if it's a bit different. And with many games, the story gets a bit wrangled up by the gameplay itself.

Plus the Mexico portion, while not bad and there's no one mission that stands out as awful, just drags on and on and on and on.

I think Guarma in RDR2 is so short because Mexico was so damn long in RDR1

That's true. Mexico takes too long. Going there for the first time with Far Away playing is one of the coolest parts of the series though. Apparently the Guarma section was going to be bigger and longer, but got cut short due to deadlines and such. I'm partly conflicted with that since it's a different place to explore, but even during my first time I was rushing through it because I wanted to get back.

I tried replaying RDR1 but it feels so stiff and weird after 2. It doesn't look bad, in fact it still looks pretty damn great. But playing it, especially the horse riding, just feels completely off after experiencing 2.

It takes a bit to get back used to it. Speaking of horse riding, now I have to take care and not accidentally shoot my horse in the head while fighting on horseback. That used to happen a good bit back in the day.

Worst part of RDR2

It's very annoying. Don't know what they were trying to do there.

I'm glad I wasn't the only to think of this

Same. First thing that came to mind. This was second:

RDR1 was so goofy in tone though it's kinda weird going back to it after 2.

I think that's because 1 is influnced by spaghetti westerns which are relatively more over the top and full of tropes while 2 is like a modern day deconstructionist western which is more serious and self reflecting.

John and Dutch barely reference the events on RDR2 save for 1 or 2 scenes. Javier appears once and is completely different, Bill lost half his weight and you meet dudes like Irish and German.

It is a bit different. I take it as there was no need to discuss the past much between John and Dutch. Javier is a bit of jump, but I see it as him losing his way and falling hard to where he's almost pathetic. Makes it more tragic when you look back on his early days. Bill just lost weight and became more of a sicko, which is also a bit tragic. Maybe if he had gotten a little more credit and was less derided all the time maybe wouldn't have gotten so bad. Characters like Irish go back to the spaghetti western influence. Plus 2 has some goofy characters too.

Also kinda weird that John never seeks Charles or Sadie's help when his family is kidnapped. I mean Sadie broke John out of prison once already.

I think he wouldn't want to involved them because Ross and the government were so treacherous and untrustworthy. If I remember right Charles goes to Canada and Sadie talks about going to South America or somewhere like that.

Yeah it does. I didn't give a fuck about the people John where hunting down in the first one. After playing 2 then replaying 1 it had more impact

It makes the story a lot more tragic.

I've started replaying the first one and it has an extra layer of depth after playing 2.

You guys should check out the Strange Man channel on YouTube

This too.

Whyyyyyyyy!?

Great movie. I don't care much for the weird comic book transitions in the DC, but they don't bother me that bad.

Also have to recommend The Warriors game made by Rockstar. It nailed the vibe and atmosphere of the film and really made you feel like you were in that world.

Tolkien himself said Sam is the real hero of the story. Still, without Frodo Middle Earth would have been doomed. Sam had visions of taking over Mordor and making the world one huge garden after only a little bit. They both saved it together.

"We can't take advantage of desperate kids! Nooooooo!"

Yeah, they made him just an evil loon in the movie because Jackson doesn't know what subtly is.

In the book he was a proud leader, but his mind was influenced by Sauron via the palantir and he fell into hopelessness and dispair which negativity affected his judgement. He's still a prick with his refusal to recognize Aragorn as king and his treatment of Faramir, but you can sympathize with him a bit. In the movies he's biting into bloody turkey legs and acting like a madman.

Hate my state.

Always funny when right wingers act all progressive and think anyone with any sense is going to fall for it.

Not rich, just richer

When you live in a 900 square foot house in a swamp in Alabama, and live off of food stamps (even though fuck welfare! Lazy assholes just need to get a job!), the guy who spent 4 years earning a college degree to make 65k a year (ignore that his rent is 2,500 a month) is "rich"

But they're totally fine with the super rich people getting all sorts of tax breaks and such so they're still full of it.

Probably not, but I'd love to visit some day.

Aragorn is "white" in the books due to his ancestry, but who gives a shit? It doesn't really matter at all.

$1000 more?

Also: Up in da club!

Ok, mommy milkers it is!

Ok, better vote for fascist Republicans who make my life and the lives of every other non-rich person worse!

Conservatives are just mad that rich people aren't being helped.

They got like 10 times the amount of propaganda going around rotting their brains combined with various website algorithms keeping them in a loop. It's going to be worse.

"Economic issues, infrastructure, and the environment should be ignored because inflation" is peak conservative

It's not tax cuts for the rich (which won't even help them anyway) so they don't like it.

I like the way they say Peugeot or whatever too... and how they drive them XD

and "cocked up" or "cocking about" (mostly James says those). I also liked when James and Jeremy got wasted in Vietnam and messed with Hammond's stuff and they tried to say that they were "worried" or "concerned" about him and used that as a euphemism for being drunk and Jeremy said something like "we were stumbling around and falling out of worry for you!" That was such a great episode. When 2 of them paid that local girl to spray paint the other one's bike pink and she misunderstood and started painting a bunch of other random adjacent bikes as well and they were laughing and she clearly didn't understand them but was laughing too and really getting into it. I don't like, care about or know anything about cars at all. I'm like the least car person in existence... but those shows are fucking amazing and I've enjoyed every minute of every episode.

The Vietnam special is one of their best and I'm the same when it comes to cars. Don't know much at all about them, but I still love seeing those 3 drivearound and do stupid things with them.

Another phrase I picked up is "You blithering idiot!".

FigureOfSpeech posted...

yeah same lol. I always pronounce stuff the way they do and use various idioms too, like "gentleman sausage"

That too and "lady garden". They way they say Prius and Hilux too.

FigureOfSpeech posted...

I like how in the US, people pronounce Hyundai as "hun-day" but in the UK, it's "Hai-un-dai" (I don't know if that's the norm in the UK but that's how Jeremy Clarkson pronounces it so I assume everyone does because Jeremy Clarkson is Jeremy Clarkson)

Ever since I started watching TG/TGT I can't stop saying it that way.

One of the worst offenders of ruining shows is having to "scale up" every season. I much rather have what we got and see Gus as the peak antagonist, while showing the power vacuum his death left, rather than have S5 be Walt vs "evil german international businessman". Walt beating Gus was already a huge stretch.

This. Plus it showed how low Walt got with dealing with scuzzy neo Nazi bikers.

Fuckin parakeet

I'll build a ramp up to your ass. Drive a Lionel up in there.

The average Republican supporter hates being called a bigot, but still continue to support these fascists when hateful crap like this is all they do.

Fuck him and his highfalutin bullshit. Who does he think he is Sir Walter Raleigh?

Think the main ones have been covered.

Chris fucks up a lot too. Vito sure fucked up a good life away from the mob.

Conservatives like this are shallow and stupid. They like to brag about how hot conservative women are too of course through a biased lens and ignoring the ugly ones.

I was on Walt's side until he died in the meth lab.

I did-dent!

I never was huge into Saints Row. I liked it and all, but GTA was always more my thing. I liked 1 and 2 enough because I like most open world crime games, but it was a bit too wacky over the top for my tastes sometimes. Yeah, I know that's the point, and there's nothing wrong with that, but at times it came off as trying to hard to be funny and lol randum. Also, the engine and gameplay felt janky at times too. I played 4 too and had fun with it, but it was almost a whole different game in a whole different series.

I still might check the new one out someday because I still like the series even with all that. It won't be a day one buy though.

No more weight remarks Granola. They're hurtful and they're destructive.

And speaking of weight remarks, I heard Ginny Sack's getting a 95 pound mole taken off her ass!

I'm still roaming around and killing things and being killed. Met that one lady who levels you up for money. Worth it? Or is it what you're supposed to do?

Let me tell you something dude, thank you, but I've recorded in Denmark.

Looking at cleavage, or asses, is like looking at the sun. You don't stare at it. It's too risky. You get a sense of it and then you look away.
