It wasn't the fake job titles that confused people, it was the fact that he wasn't actually some random Sony employee they got to do a TV spot, and the fact that his name isn't actually Kevin Butler in real life. I dunno, I guess apparently some people thought that Sony's marketing campaign was so stupid and had stopped giving a poo poo that they found some random cubicle worker, threw him in front of a camera and told him to read lines, and it actually worked, so they made an entire ad campaign around him and his name is really Kevin Butler. Who the hell knows, 95% of the internet is loving retarded.

And before that, they had David Lynch ads, which made me want to watch more David Lynch films, but also made me want a PS2 even less.

And anyone remember the 'We're totally not viral marketing and this is an honest fansite, really!' clusterfuck with the PSP at one point?

Yeah, Sonys advertising division is borderline useless. I ended up buying my PS2 & PS3 years after their initial launches, in part because I was massively turned off by their wildly inept marketing.

Of course he is. You know how many people are shocked and surprised to find out that the actor's name is not actually Kevin Butler, and that he is, in fact, just some actor and not actually a random employee of Sony's? You'd think that would be common sense, but no, many pubbies on PSN who are shocked and confused when I point that out would disagree with you.

A little about Jerry Lambert, the actor...

"In 2010 he completed a new television pilot for FOX with John Goodman and Justin Bartha called The Station. produced by Ben Stiller, and directed by David Wain. He also has a recurring role on the new TBS animated primetime series Neighbors from Hell.

He also portrays Kevin Butler from the Sony Playstation 3 commercials."

Regarding the endgame, I've got John back at the Ranch with my family and I am purposefully avoiding the Jack or Uncle missions until I accomplish as much as I can with John. Because I played as him, dammit. He oughta earn those outfits. He ought to get those achievements.

And I want to give John just that much more quality time with his family. Wake up one morning, say howdy to everyone on the ranch, ride off to shoot elk, ride down to Mexico and sell, finish up some bounty hunts in Chuparosa... then come home to his family. And promise Jack he's never going away again.

Try looking around Bear Claw Camp. They hang out there for some reason. They just spawn around the area sometimes nowhere near any water.

Bearclaw camp. I found a few maps of where beavers are 'supposed' to be online and they're BULLSHIT, I never found beavers there, but I found all of mine at Bearclaw within a few minutes.

My favorite way to start poo poo in Armadillo is to start a fistfight with Walton's Gang in the saloon, lead them back behind the bar, and shoot the lantern that hangs over it.

Up until now I have had nothing but good things to say about this game, but goddamn the competitive multiplayer modes are absolutely atrocious. It takes way too many bullets to actually kill someone and if you even have to stop shooting them even for the short time it takes to reload they've already regenerated most of their health back. Combined with the mostly inaccurate and unresponsive guns it seriously makes killing or being killed by someone feel like complete luck rather than actual skill.

For most game modes, the default weapons you're given suck rear end. Other players are prioritizing grabbing weapon upgrades and then if you get into a straight-up firefight, they're doing twice as much per bullet as you. Also, it's a fair bet they're using Casual targeting mode, which can lock on to players you can barely see. If you're playing on Normal having just started against people on Casual who are high level, you're ridiculously handicapped in that situation.

Until you get a few levels and can choose modes that don't allow Casual targeting, the multiplayer games mostly consist of find good weapon, spam LT for a lock and hold it when you get one, spam RT to kill, repeat. I'm finding Expert mode much more balanced because, for instance, if you move, they actually have to adjust their aim to match.

Sorry if this has been asked before. I am fairly deep into the game single story, only a handful of missions left, and for some reason I can no longer change outfits in the safehouse or camp. It only gives me the option to save...

Again sorry if it was posted before, but what happened? Is it a bug or am I doing something wrong?

Edit: Nevermind. Apparently I cannot change outfits now until the end of the game. I am fired up to play high stakes poker.

Yeah you can even kill Strangers and stuff and come back later and they'll respawn.

In Blackwater I was doing the mission with the prohibitionist bible-thumper, however since I was drunk I got a little too enthusiastic about killing him, so I used a stick of dynamite since I figured it'd be a poetic way for a drunken Marston to deal with a pushy prohibitionist. But I accidentally killed four guys at the poker table with the blast, too.

They were back a couple days later.

I've heard it's possible to get said gun before you get to Mexico. Does that mean there are armadillo spawn somewhere on the north side of the river? I don't recall ever seeing one.

I got mine when I was still doing missions for the Armadillo marshall, Nigel West Dickens, and Bonnie. Just because there are lots of Armadillos southwest of Armadillo, and anyone who says otherwise isn't looking very hard at all.

My favorite is when I get caught cheating at poker, kill the player in a duel, and walk back to the poker table to find them sitting there, ready to let me play again.

I think I may have found another way to save the game anywhere - if you go into the options menu and change your aiming mode, the game autosaves. I don't know if it's saving my game or just the option settings, but maybe!

Huh. I never kill the accuser, I just shoot him in the hand. he gets all sad and depressed and either slumps away or leans up against a wall or pole nearby and glares at me, and he's not back at the table again unless I reload the area.

The options menu has it's own save file. I think using horse deeds will be better way to quick save.

Horse deeds are good, but the high-end ones (the only ones worth owning for horse summoning purposes) are very expensive and for optimal quick saving you'll need to have two of them (or I guess you could just kill your horse but that feels mean), going into the options menu would have been a neat alternate method. Unless it doesn't work. Which it apparently doesn't. So that's that.
