The spoiler tag didn't work.  I don't know why it doesn't scale images like it used to.  You have to right click on the image and click "view image" to see the whole thing. 

Figured I'd add some more to this.  As you can see, I like the outfit with the raccoon hat.  I like dressing up like Davy Crocket and running around the wilderness.


Hunting in the cold, snowy Grizzlies.  I think the Grizzlies are supposed to be based on the Teton Range in Wyoming.



John Marston rides again!


John Marston riding into Saint Denis.  I hate that place so very much.

Nothing like a hot cup of coffee to start off a day of hunting, exploring, and other outlaw stuff. 



Night time in Roanoke Ridge.  From the sound of the wind blowing through the dense forest, to the horrific gang of cannibal hillbillies that roam the woods preying on travelers, the fact that the place is crawling with wolves and cougars, and the dirty, downtrodden state of the settlements and people there, plus the creepy ambient music, Roanoke Ridge is without a doubt the scariest place in the game.



This picture was taken shortly after the previous one.  Arthur Morgan rides into the mining town of Annesburg in the moonlight.

To end this post, John Marston visits the grave of his brother-in-arms...  I think I got something in my eye...

You'll have to right click and select "view image" to see the whole picture it seems.  Another RDR2 screenshot.  Saw this cougar take down a pronghorn and thought it was interesting.  Caption away.

I've sung the praises of Red Dead Redemption 2 a lot, and I've been using the recently introduced "Photo Mode" feature to take screenshots of my in-game adventures.  I thought I'd share some pictures I've taken that represent just why I love this game so much.  I take pictures of things that I find fascinating in the game, whether it be character interactions of just some pretty scenery.

For this first set of pictures, Arthur Morgan sets out on an epic adventure across the vast wilderness of West Elizabeth, New Hanover, and Ambarino.   


"I hear Pearson's cooking up some yellow liver, in case you wanna go jump in the pot."  Arthur's daily schedule: Wake up, antagonize Micah, get coffee, antagonize Micah, do camp chores, antagonize Micah, spend the day doing outlaw stuff then return home, antagonize Micah, eat camp stew, antagonize Micah, play poker with friends, antagonize Micah, play dominoes with Hosea, antagonize Micah, sit by the campfire, antagonize Micah, go to sleep, dream of antagonizing Micah.  Seriously, eff Micah!



While roaming through the wilderness of Ambarino, I made a very "grizzly" discovery.  It was quite unbearable. 



Nothing like a relaxing afternoon fishing.



After spending about two in-game weeks roaming the wilderness, camping, hunting, and living off the land like a wild man, Javier Escuella found me and said Dutch was worried.  I didn't care.
"Tell Dutch I ain't coming back!  Tell him I'm tired of his plans, tired of hearing about Tahiti, and I'm tired of being the only one bring in any food or money!"


Watching the sun set over Big Valley, West Elizabeth.



Riding into the town of Valentine as a storm rolls in.



At every turn I am blown away by just how beautiful and lush this game is.  It makes me wanna visit Colorado or Wyoming.



Looking west toward The Grizzlies.



Lassoing a bison.  Please note that the bison wasn't harmed.  I just wanted to see what would happen. 



The same can't be said for this deer that I hunted.  But I figured I should bring some food back for the gang after being gone for so long. 


Ending this outing with a song around the campfire with friends.



I've got more pictures to share later. 

Whoooo boy did I have a weird dream last night.  I don't know if I'd call it a nightmare or not because while it should have been terrifying, the more I think about how ridiculous it was the funnier it gets.

Ok so I'm living in a little house out in the backwoods of Alabama.  Suddenly these British royal guards (the ones that guard Buckingham Palace) kick in my door, grab me and tie me up.  Then Queen Elizabeth appears from out of nowhere and informs me that she wants to retire from the public eye and live someplace nice and quiet where no one will ever find her, and she wants my house. 

She then forces me to basically be her slave, cooking meals and cleaning while holding me prisoner in my own home.  At one point she ordered me to play the banjo for her.  I don't know how to play the banjo!  She also didn't like the lalles I made and criticized my choice in video games.  So there you have it.  I'm being held hostage and terrorized by the queen of England. 

Somehow I escaped and I was running down the road when out of nowhere Queen Elizabeth starts chasing me down in a bright blue monster truck yelling at me about how I can't go to the police.  Then I woke up.

What a stupid, stupid dream!  Let's go over everything wrong with this crazy nightmare, shall we? 

 Ok so first, even if Queen Elizabeth DID decided to retire from the public eye and run off to some quiet corner of rural America to hide in, she could surely do a lot better than Alabama.  I mean, I'd pick some place pretty and scenic like Colorado where you can sit out on your porch and look at the mountains.

Second, with all the money and connections she has, why was it necessary to break into a random house and strong-arm the owner?  I could see not wanting to leave a paper trail but couldn't she have just had an associate buy a house somewhere for her?

Third, banjo music?  Really?  Just because I live in the south doesn't mean I play a banjo.  Also, I certainly hope the queen of England has better taste in music than that.

Forth, Queen Elizabeth chasing me in a bright blue monster truck...  I'm pretty sure the reason I woke up at that point was because my dream jumped the shark.

So DA rolled out their new layout and it's every bit as crappy as I feared it would be.  I had to hunt for 30 minutes just to figure out where to post a status update.  I'm thinking about dumping the platform altogether and I've already cancelled my paid membership there.  Anybody know any decent alternatives? 

Getting mauled/torn apart by grizzly bears, wolves, cougars, panthers, or alligators in RDR2.  Even better, you can experience it all in 1st person view!  Sweet dreams!
