Grand Theft Auto and Grand Theft Horse

So, been a while since I've done this... lots of stuff been going on for me. Big thing is, I've moved into my own house (with a couple friends), which has been exceedingly awesome so far. Not just living with people I actually chose to live with, but living in a city. Where there's actually shit to do .

So, been a while since I've done this... lots of stuff been going on for me. Big thing is, I've moved into my own house (with a couple friends), which has been exceedingly awesome so far. Not just living with people I actually chose to live with, but living in a city. Where there's actually shit to do.  Like... movies, or going out to eat, or walking down to the Farmer's Market (street fair type thing). Yeah, it's been awesome.
 
Anyways, on to the point(s) of this post... I've been playing a hell of a lot of Red Dead Redemption lately... well, since it came out, really. I've got like 2 and 1/2 days of game-time, which is like twice as much as I have on Modern Warfare 2's multiplayer.  And I had been playing that a lot. The funny thing is, I pretty much didn't care at all about RDR before I bought it... this is one of the few games (like, 2 or 3 of the 30 or so games I've bought) that I really wasn't all that psyched for. I didn't think it would be bad or anything, I just had little-to-no interest in it.  So I don't really remember why I bought it, and I wasn't really into it when I started playing... then all of a sudden, I had played it for over a day total, and hadn't even gotten into Mexico yet. I haven't beaten it yet, but I'm close... just a few missions from the end, I think. Still haven't touched the multiplayer, which I should really get into (anyone wants to play, send me a message or friend request), but I'm like 3/4 of the way to the Legend of the West outfit, which I really, really want. I'm really not sure where the rest of the time went... a lot like Vinny on the last pre-E3 podcast (I think that's the one).  Long story short: very glad I bought the game, have had a lot of fun with it... even if it is pretty much Grand Theft Horse.
 
Speaking of Grand Theft... the store I work at has a brand new, unopened copy of the Special Edition of Grand Theft Auto IV for sale... for $19.99.  This is probably not a great idea... but I decided if it's still there by the time I get paid (this Friday), I'm going to buy it.  I mean, come on! It's the GTA IV Special Edition! It retailed for, what, $150?  So yeah, that's happening.
 
That's all for now... time to go find some food.
