Redemption

Been playing the hell out of Red Dead Redemption. My god...RDR would be a PERFECT MMO, so many things to do. I've done more things in this game than other huge games like Fallout 3 and Oblivion. Plus on top of that, it's actually a hell of a lot of fun to do. It's very easy to get lost in the world of the west.

Multiplayer is somewhat limited so far. The online was launched with some problems at first. But was fixed almost immediately. I was able to team up with some friends, we formed a posse, raided some gang hideouts. My favorite has to be all of us getting into a stage coach. I was the driver, had a buddy sitting next to me, and a couple of more in the carriage. We drove to one of the main town of the game, and did some drive by stage coaching on some townsfolk and actual players. It was epic. It's a massive place to explore with your friends. But like I said it's only limited. They are adding a DLC in June, which will add 6 new multiplayer missions. I hope they keep adding content to expand the world. So far this is the best game I've played in a loooong time. I just got to the third and final act of the game. I'll throw up a FULL review when I finish it.

Started watching Ken Burns "The War" and I am absolutely blow away about this documentary. I've always been a WWII buff, always been fascinated by the history of it. Here comes along this 12+ hour film, that covers the entire war. I got to part 3, every part is about 100 minutes. Ken Burns is the master of his craft. I will re-watch his magnum opus "The Civil War" I still remember watching it in history class back in the mid 90's.

I had gotten me a new black wireless controller (official Microsoft brand) It works fine and dandy....BUT the up button on the D-pad doesn't work too well. I have to push it a few times in order for it to work. Didn't do anything at first. But it started to effect the game play. So i called Game Stop, and they said they would swap it for another new one. No problem. New controller works perfectly.

So LOST ends tomorrow..and I can't believe it's going to take up an entire night. From 6pm to 8pm starting with a retrospective. Followed by the series finally, which is going to be 2 hours and 30 minutes long. There will be no news on that station that night. Instead Jimmy Kimmel will be shown with a LOST post special. I will be there!!!
