    The next DLC is horse armor with guns.

    I can't wit to get this game, but I hve to wait like three weeks due to school. I know if I buy this now, id never study for my upcoming tests.

    Question, can you input your own songs into the game? Because I want to ride around in the open to the theme from Blazing Saddles.

    Riding a mile to each mission? You mean like sailing on the sea in Wind Waker?

    I probably didn't notice this at first, because I don't have any kids of my own, but Gabe and Kiko have the same leg.

    edit: Henroid, I don't think that's a very good counter-point. A lot of (dumb) people hated that game mechanic.

    I'm not making a counter point because I don't know about RDR. But if it requires riding around in a manner where you just ride a horse in a direction for a couple minutes, I'm going to start seeking out people who like RDR but hated Wind Waker because of the traveling in the game. To punch them in the face.

    If RDR ever appears on PC, hell yeah I'd probably grab it. Looks a lot more interesting than GTAIV

    Good GOD! I am going to have to fire up Mount and Blade 1866 every time RDR is mentioned until it comes to PC. :( On the upside, taking down a small army as it invades your town is quite run when you jump off the roof of the saloon and empty a six shooter into Geronimo's face.

    Joke explainer here to explain the joke:
    Kiko's real name is Francisco, and he is of Hispanic descent

    Also Tycho is clearly saying the 'b' sound of 'because' which makes his mouth look closed

    I don't mind the mouth not being open or whatever. The dialog in the first panel is really awkward though and probably doesn't even need to be there.

    Second panel is all kinds of awesome though.

    If Tycho is referring to the gunhorse, then the comic works better without the dialogue at all, but if he is referring to Kiko's sombrero and such then that should be made clearer

    I think it's the latter because there are two panels whereas if the dialogue was about the gunhorse it would all be taking place in one panel

    It's a good game and you don't have to enjoy the sailing, just not condemn the entirety of the game over it.

    I'm really just trying to figure out if a mechanic that made people hate a game has reappeared in another but now they're praising it.

    This comic is fantastic.

    I had to re-read the text in the first panel once but it wasn't exactly confusing, considering they speak in those kind of sentence fragments semi-frequently in these here comics. Although the particular way it is done this time did trip me up for a second. Even just taking out the last "Becase you're..." might have made it flow better.

    2) probably, but it helps distinguish the punchline

    A panel break makes me pause, ignore the rest of the panels until I've really gone through the first. Makes punchlines like this work so much better.

    I hate Rockstar for releasing this game on a Friday in Europe. Turns out the place I preordered from isn't getting any special editions (Not a big deal) and, more irritatingly, that they might not receive enough copies to go around, and I already paid for my preorder and getting the money back will take time and I don't have money to buy it form anywhere else right now.

    I guess it's not a big deal, but it is a bummer.


    EDIT: Great, looks like it won't arrive for another six days at least.

    I liked the sailing.

    I sang a sailing song every time I was in the boat and it played that happy sailing music.

    I think most people did.

    What was the sailing mechanic like in WindWaker? Did you actively have to navigate your boat around obstacles, try and pick out currents/winds, like some kind of sailing simulation?

    Or was it just "push a button to go to Island X"?
