Today I walked into a Mexican bar, doused five tequilas and stumbled back out, only to be challenged to a duel, which I won, drunk off my ass. Then I stole five dollars collection money and got gunned down in a stand-off with an army of Mexican lawmen. In a church. ---

I really hope Rockstar brings this title over to the PC. God, it would be like putting awesome on awesome-sauce. Anyone else hear anything about a possible port? Last time I checked they were hiring PC developers, but no one knows why ☹ In the meantime I’ll live vicariously through you console gamers. Tell me more! Tell me more! Did you put up a fight? ---

Download the extra mission pack and zombie pack for $20! You get 3 games in the bundle. One of them an online map which i’ve never played; but still a fun way to waste $20. ---

Online isn’t too bad, either. Start gunning down civilians, hole up in a fort somewhere, and try to outlast the law enforcement that comes after you. That is pretty fun. ---

Second that. It was funny as hell and stretched the life of the single player game by an extra two weeks for me! ---

God, it is so awesome. I haven’t enjoyed a video game that much in ages. But no more DLC as far as I hear, which makes me cry. ---

> [@antonio107](#): > > Second that. It was funny as hell and stretched the life of the single player game by an extra two weeks for me! Thirded. Undead Nightmare was even more fun than the main campaign and took me atleast 10 hrs to get through. RDR is possibly my favorite game of this generation so far.
