Finally finished Red Dead Redemption (RDR). I sort of rushed through it so that I can get started with Starcraft II but it still too quite some time. This game world is huge! I thought after playing Assassin’s Creed II (AC2) that I’ve seen huge. Not so. While AC2 has towns, RDD has towns and a whole lot of countryside between the towns. And what an awesome countryside it is: rivers, hills, mountains, trees, bushes, shrubs, wildlife, people… and if you want to shoot at those, you have a whole arsenal of rifles, shotguns, pistols, and even knives.
There are so many things to do: gather flowers, hunt animals, hunt outlaws, herd cows, break horses, rob trains, the many side quests, and of course the main quest which takes you across the border to Mexico and back to hunt down some former gangmates in return for the freedom of your wife and son. A spaghetti western through and through. And an epic one at that. This is more of the story and the world than the action or the puzzles. If you’re into that, you’re going to like Red Dead Redemption.
Rating: 3/5
Completed downloading and watching all three Ken Block Gymkhana videos (Watch them here, here, and here). I actually saw the third one first, at a DC Shoes in Eastwood. Ken Block and his Monster Energy Ford Fiesta are awesome! Makes you wanna go get a Ford Fiesta yourself. Now if only there’s a Wide Body Kit and the R2 Rally Kit here.
Finally, Jeanne is out of the hospital. Last Monday, she had a vomiting spell and diarrhea so, that night, we decided to take her to there. After an interview, the pedia ordered her confined and so that’s where we spent the next three days and nights. They ran some tests and they think it was a virus which is quite common with kids. They gave her a generic treatment regime and an IV drip to prevent dehydration. She seem to have responded well and the doctor allowed her discharge today. Just as well since she was becoming bored and cranky being stuck to a very small radius within the bed. Now on to the birthday celebration!
The prize value is P574M. The chance of winning is 1 in 29M. The value of a chance to win is therefore P574M x 1/29M = P19.79. Close enough. So off goes P20 :P
