Morning Discussion
by Xav de Matos, Jan 28, 2011 5:00am PSTLast night I finally watched the Coen Brothers adaptation of True Grit. I was a big fan of the flick and, as I suspected it would, by the end I wanted to race home and play some more Red Dead Redemption.
It's a little sad that the wild west has fallen off as a setting for films. When Clint Eastwood's Unforgiven came out, I remember some referring to it as the last great western. Looking back at film history, there's a deluge of movies taking place in the era.
I suppose it falls into the category of American Exceptionalism--what, in story terms, separates America as a nation from others. How men from very little will often rise to the occasion and become a hero in the face of evil. That's what I'm told, at least. I'm Canadian.
What is also does is offer the modern gamer a glance at a time where survival skills, honor, and reputation were the things that defined a man.
Maybe I'm reading too much into it but the western is a fantastic place to show the rise and fall of our favorite characters.
Except that Insane Clown Posse movie "Big Money Rustlas." That doesn't work as an example of anything. Entertainment included.

I have made a printer friendly sheet for all the Magick spells in the game. The keys are color coded and listed in the order that you need to press them to activate. I made it because I wanted a useful visual aid, and it helps me in memorizing the buttons for the more complicated ones. I hope some of you find it useful.

I feel like as much as your friends probably kill you in co-op, they're almost necessary for some of these fights.
