So... I've been playing quite a bit of Red Dead Redemption. Basically, I live up to my namesake, the "White Night", and help out people who are outgunned, or the gang hideouts. Out of the blue, I decide to check my reputation? I'm now officially higher "dislike" than "like", with 51% of people disliking me for "aggressive playing". I'm aggressive by shooting out people who are obviously friends with each other and picking on someone who is level 4 or 5 when they're all level 50 (and I'm only level 16?)
Yeah, good thing that reputation doesn't matter, but still... it's the principle...

I played my first game last night. I got killed about 11 times in a row by some level 40 guy. Wasn't a great way to start. It doesn't help that I seem to need DLC to play just about anything I run into. :/ Well at least I'm having lots of fun with the gang hideouts it does let me play.

So I've been back on Borderlands trying to wrap up the last three Claptrap DLC collection achievements. Hole. E. Crap. Grinding is an understatement. I finally got the first of the three today (after playing some last night). Mind you, I was grinding for a while earlier but still, this is absurd. You need to collect 15 of one item, 25 of another. There's roughly a 1 in 10 chance at a drop from the guys you need to kill and even then you end up with a ton of crap you don't need anymore. For instance, the item I needed 5 of... I've gotten like 20 of them.
Ah well, at least I'm over halfway through each of these so I can finally retire this thing with perfect gamer score and free up some space on my HD.

I've had Read Dead Redemption since it's release date and have yet to play multiplayer.Is it something that's a pain in the ass or actually fun?

It's fun. Poker, death matches and the rest of the games are cool. Free roam with a posse is cool but I usually prefer going solo and picking fights with posses trying to control towns.

I never go out of parties, so it'd be impossible for someone to tell if I was. I also ended up with 42% unsporting for using Submissions online in SvR. I'm currently a Level 30-something on RDR, 1st legendary. I only did it for the cow, but now I want a Buffalo. I just have no motivation. I do like grabbing Armadillo saloon in Landgrab & watching people come from all over the map to try & stop me & my friend. If anyone ever wants a game or some help leveling, feel free to message me.

I've had Read Dead Redemption since it's release date and have yet to play multiplayer.Is it something that's a pain in the ass or actually fun? I just played today for the first time with a group of fellow Crappers. It was really all kinds of fun. If you have a mic and someone to play with it's tons of fun, but even solo playing online can be pretty good. A recap of today's game. KStrick is getting ganged up on by a posse at the ranch so I joined him and we fought together for a while. Then Ratings and Joker joined us and we fought against the other posse for control of McFarlane Ranch. When we finally got it we went on to clear a gang hideout. Then we went to the railroad tracks over the river and killed each others horses while trying to knock each other off the bridge and tomahawk each other. I'll tell you it's pretty funny seeing yourself running around with a tomahawk stuck to you're forehead. XD Finally we went to the top of a water tower and had a four way fist fight to knock each other off it. All in all it was tons of fun for my first game. So based on the single experience I'd say it's worth playing if you have some friends. Alone it's still good but nothing as exciting.

Unsporting is the "rage" button. People who want to avoid you, are forced to give a reason why and choose that because it's a tad more general. I have a 60% from it, I'm guessing almost all from L4D2. And oddly, I have a 7% Trash Talking and 0% Language. Which is funny, as I swear WAY more often in games than I do trash talk. But I guess trash talking probably includes telling little kids I don't want to play a Mature rated game with or against them.

And I've 100%-ed Borderlands. That last chivo wasn't as bad as I was expecting once I figured out to position myself near the MINAC's tracks and watch the front. The buggers blew up underneath with no real damage to me and a nice neat pile of loot.
Anyway, that's my 10th perfect overall game.
Retail: Borderlands, Assassin's Creed II, Tony Hawk's American Wasteland and Oblivion. Arcade: X-Men Arcade, Crazy Taxi, Pac Man: CE DX, Harm's Way, Secret of Monkey Island: SE and Uno.
EDIT: And just knocked out the last three Dorito's Dash of Destruction chivos I needed. Now to eventually get to work on finishing off the HoF stuff for SD vs Raw 2009.

Yeah, I keep hearing I may have to change mine which is ridiculous to me. For one, it's a word that's very rarely ever banned on sites, etc. and two most people call me "pee you bez" or in L4D2 "pie-o".

Well if I really wanted to be a dick about it I could make a case that the word pimp doesn't go against their TOS and say that through the evolution of american slang the word only has a loose connotation with sex. But I don't want to push it. It's there service and they didn't charge me for changing my username so hey I'll take it.
