Uh - De Santa? Surely the early missions you have to do are with Bonnie?

Can't you do field repairs like in Battlefield 1943?

No. I tried throwing a box at him but he refused to do anything. Then I tried electrocuting him, but he didn't wake up.

Top tip: get on down to the Great Plains and break yourself one of the black horses there. These are American Standardbred horses, and they're fast as fuck.

(I've never previously played or understood any form of poker, so have always avoided it in these games)

Amusing glitch last night. I sprinted up to a wall under enemy fire, hit RB to get into cover, and flew hundreds of feet up into the air. It was less amusing when I came back down, died, and had to reload though.

My horse just collapsed and died

It got shot a bit in a shootout, and must have died from blood loss a mile up the road

Also I'm never too sure on what constitutes a crime. I saw some bloke outside the saloon stabbing a prostitute so I ran up and drew my gun, at which point the fucker ran off, so I chased him and shot him in the knee and he instantly died but somehow the game decided that I was the dishonourable prick in all of this.

Did you try kicking it?
Punching it?
Yelling at it?

Not at $200 a pop.

That bloody mission cost me $400 and netted me a $14 reward.

Playing Horseshoes is fucking annoying.

Yeah it seems to be pretty much impossible to get any better at.

[[*]Always aim, for every throw. Aim so the spike is pretty much in the centre of the horseshoe from the zoomed in view.
[*]Pull the right stick back and push it forward with a decent pace. Let go when the metre hits the middle line.

It's actually really simple when you get the hang of it. I found it immensely frustrating at first. Tips:

1. Always aim, for every throw. Aim so the spike is pretty much in the centre of the horseshoe from the zoomed in view.
2. Pull the right stick back and push it forward with a decent pace. Let go when the metre hits the middle line.
3. Profit

Forgive me Father, for I have sinned.

I just went to a monastery, caught and hogtied a decent number of nuns, made a good-sized pile out of them, then set them all on fire.

Am I going to hell?

Yes. Very much so.

I completed the treasure maps last night. A bit sad, as they were definitely one of my favourite parts of the game. Of course, I've still got the gathering, hunting and shooting challenges to do, lots of stranger missions, all the random encounters that pop up, outfits to complete, gang hideouts all across the land, jobs... oh, yes, and and the story missions to complete. Phew.

Anyone fancy making a posse tonight and doing the multi-player stuff and chievos?

I haven't even been able to get on the multiplayer yet. It just won't connect for me. I gather this is quite a widespread issue.

Annoyingly I finished the single-player last night too and this has upset me somewhat. Why did it have to end?!?
