I'm looking forward to that! Sisters Brothers was kinda disappointing, not nearly weird enough. 2nding and 3rding Assassination of Jesse James, what a pretty and sad picture.

RDR2 rules, but you kinda have to enjoy what R* been doing since GTA4 days. That said, the clunky controls are something I wish I didn't had to bear with. The best and probably worst game of all time would be something that married R* near bullheadedness adherence to fake realism and Bethesda's "We track all the dish objects on the world in case you want to carry them around for 100hours" design goals.

I recall around 2015/6(?) talking to English folk back in London and some hand wringing around how they didn't want to lose their cultural identity because Europe was so homogenous and like lol? do you know anything beyond Calais, or heck, half of your people don+t even call themselves English anyhow.

RDR2’s gameplay is really interesting, considering they made a game that’s intentionally slow-paced and methodical for a lowest common denominator audience, but it really is bullshit that they already did the “this is a story about the end of the West!” thing and now they’re pulling a prequel that is... still about that?... It gets by on the fact that Arthur’s a great character, but a lot about RDR1 was lightning in a bottle that I don’t think you can really recapture. I do hope this is the last we see of anyone from the Van Der Linde gang in the franchise.

Because 2 isn't about the end of the west except as a backdrop for an ad hoc family unit disintegrating in the wake of bad decision after bad decision As opposed to the first game where it was explicitly John's story on a larger scale You ninnies

KKK murdering is very satisfying. But also if you just stay back and watch them they usually end up accidentally burning themselves to death anyway.

I don't know how to link it here because it was a facebook video but I saw a great one where a guy slaughtered a Klan meeting while the theme song from Friends was playing. edit: I'm pretty sure it was posted in the h.bomberguy appreciation group. Because people made that a group.

From what I read, they were basically hired goons who are partly responsible for the genocide of the native population here in the States.

Deadwood does this well. The Sisters Brothers too. For the most part the violent scenes were brutal but also blasé. The scenes where people aren't murdering or fighting and instead trying to connect with each other and try to create something better (socialism) are the most thrilling. This reminds me I still have to see McCabe and Mrs Miller.

John Leguizamo throws around the numbers of how many millions of natives that were murdered during America's expansion in his new Netflix special. It's pretty hosed up and was a sobering moment for me in realizing how much this country has always hated us.

Cowboys are a type of worker that have really varied class functions depending on a breadth of circumstances. The archetypical cowboy story, the Virginian, is a story that casts corporate mercenaries who murdered independent ranchers as tragic heroes whose sacrifices make them rejected by society. (Granted, it’s also likely that those independent ranchers were violent towards first nations peoples originally!)

BENGHAZI 2 posted:Honestly gens 3-6 were kind of a slump I played lot of Pearl owing to the fact that it was on the DS and thus around long enough for me to be really into it, drop it, and then go back and do a lot of the post game stuff years later and get into it a bit again before another game came out. That relatively long lifespan also meant they did a lot of distribution events for the game, so I've got a bunch of legendaries and such on that cart. I loved the puppet animation they finally added to battles in Black/White and thought it was funny/sad how all that work immediately got obsoleted by finally going to 3D models right after. For a hot minute I was entranced by the ridiculousness of being able to transfer monsters all the way from Gamecube to 3DS, but then I got bored and also I only have Emerald and can't use the Jirachi bonus disc without Ruby or Sapphire, and old Pokémon games hold their value and online is plagued with bootlegs.

im literally only in chapter three but the mission where you go to a suffragette rally because a guy is afraid his girlfriends family will freak out over her being there and wants to stop them, only to find out you don't give a poo poo and think women voting is a good idea rules a lot

Gripweed posted:That's genuinely cool. There's an episode of the podcast called The Dollop on black cowboys that's pretty good. Basically land grants were so cheap, and there was a law about squatting on land to gain ownership, and POC having a hard time finding homes and employment (plus the affordability) made it a huge opportunity for them. It's been a year since I heard the episode, so I may have some facts wrong, but there are a ton of great stories about that point in history. If I can find it, I'll post it for you, or maybe another goon with better memory might know the one I'm talking about. There's a Dollop thread in RGD you could ask in, if you're interested

Who are the most prominent black cowboys in Hollywood movies? Off the top of my head there's the guy who's in charge of the gang that gets shot by Charles Bronson at the start of Once Upon a Time In the West and Danny Glover in Silverado but I probably haven't seen enough westerns. Was the lead in The Great Silence black or was he Native American? I can't remember.
