That is fucking brilliant, never seen it before! I remember the first time I ever saw Spike's Acid Drop I thought it was the coolest finisher in the world!

So happy to be reminded of this post again. Might be the best thing ever posted here!

Perhaps you have just had back luck with the random encounters then! Or maybe my horse was just dogshit! 😅

This should only be happening if you've gone out of your way to acquire a really good horse already. Throughout the whole of the main story I pretty much only kept the horses the storyline gives you, it was only at the end that I started to explore all the different breeds in the game.

The trainers are actually awesome

I'm loving hearing your thoughts on it too, @FLips. I wasn't sure how you'd get on with it, as you're somebody that plays games seemingly obsessively and has such a varied taste in them. You seem to enjoy jumping between a tonne of different games at a time, whereas RDR2 just isn't going to let you do that. It wants you to immerse yourself in it fully. I pretty much played no other games for six months when I was fully invested in RDR2. No time to. By the time I stopped playing, I had put in close to 100 hours post-completion of the main story, just pottering around, living in that world. I love the whole world and setting of the game though, love westerns and all the lore and legends around the genre. It made me totally forgiving of any of the faults in the gameplay, not that I believe there are many at all, once you get used to the controls. Interesting your comparison to GTAV though, because my experience of that game is probably similar to your experience of Red Dead so far, in that I've come to the party late and played it after years of everyone has been raving about it, and just not been able to get into it. Almost right at the start of the game there's a driving mission and I just fucking hated the loose driving mechanics and the fact that it's so easy to get lost or crash. I failed that part of the mission repeatedly and I found myself thinking that if the whole game involves driving around like that then I'm just not ever gonna like it.

Not usually 😕

Looks like a superstar, I'm all for it! Beautiful tan too.

The thing that annoys the fuck out of me is any old football shirts being passed off and priced as 'classic' kits now, even if it's only a season or two old, and no matter how fucking shit a shirt it is, or shit a club it is. The days of picking up decent kits for bargain prices once they were no longer current are gone.

Yeah, I'm now fully sold on watching this show after watching SmackDown. Hot crowds absolutely make shows. Backlash Puerto Rico was absolutely brilliant and the French seem every bit as enthusiastic. I'm fine with the card as it is, I think AJ and Cody will have a banger. Sami and Bronson will be great with that crowd. I'm looking forward to seeing the new Bloodline in an actual match too.

I'd find any of those eras interesting, but voted for WCW 90. That's right in the nostalgia sweet spot for me.

He's so tough to book as a babyface on a roster where all the heels are so much smaller than him, but I agree with @LaGoosh there, I think it would have been great to see him return as a monster heel to go straight after Cody's title. That old school, monster-of-the-month style booking for the babyface champion would have worked great.

Braun is shit. There's no getting past the fact that no matter what he does, he will always look like Joe Wilkinson on Titan Serum.
