So my brothers and I were having stupid multiplayer issues in Red Dead Redemption. I can connect fine with Scott, Chris can connect fine with Scott, but when Chris and I connect we get multiplayer failures. Not, apparently, a rare issue with the crappy buggy netcode in RDR. We reported same to Rockstar and received [...]
It seems the migration to WordPress went well.   I chose this blog as the test bunny, because I don’t really use it any more. If you want to get in touch, use Facebook or Twitter. It’s fun to read old posts sometimes, so here the blog will stay until I find a use for it [...]
