thanks Naildriver . here is how people power in Australia works . our Liberal Party which is like your Republican Party , announced yesterday they were going to cut funding for Foodbank which helps the less fortunate , what a backlash , today the Prime Minister reversed the decision , great result !!!

How in the heck can a party that resembles policy wise Republicans can be called "liberals"??

Because historically the word "liberal" when coined in the 19th century to refer to politicians (particularly in England, and subsequently British colonies) meant something entirely different to what it means to people today, particularly in the US.

For instance the British Liberal Democratic party (and its predecessor, the Liberal party) have always occupied the middle ground between the Labour party (socialist, left-leaning) and Conservatives (right-wing).

Just purchased RDR2 now. Heads up, walmart.com just put up a $10 off any order over $35. 2 caveats, 1. Has to be a new walmart.com account, 2. Limited to first 50,000. Code is ELLEN10 at checkout.

Not expecting a price drop for RDR2 for Black Friday, so snagging it for $50 was welcome.

Heh, I’m still doing my first play through of RDR1. And then I need to pick up God of War. Hoping Spider-Man gets holiday discounting, and I’ll get latest Tomb Raider once all the DLC comes out. I never buy games at full price which usually means I’m at least a year behind the curve. Except for Uncharted. Those are day one games for me.

 

[zmcvay]

God of War is going to $25 at Target for Black Friday, that's a must grab for me. Waiting on Spider-Man as well, but not getting my hopes up too high, only seeing bundles so far.

 

[shutyertrap]

Wow! So long as that’s not a door buster type price, I might have to brave the crowd later that day.

 

[Jeff Strong]

I might have to do the same.

Gamestop usually has some good Black Friday deals as well, and you can often get the same prices online so you don’t have to brave the crowds.

I'm still waiting for RDR1 to come to PC. But I've still not even bought, let alone played, GTAV. At this rate CyberPunk 2077 will be out before GTAV hits a price I'm willing to pay for a 5+-year-old game. Though, after GTAIV disappointed me (less "fun", really wasn't a fan of Nico) I'm kinda wondering if GTAV is going to be more of the same.

 

[Citizen]

IV and the expansions have the best protagonists in the franchise.

 

[zmcvay]

GTAV is $20 for PC at the humble store right now, and I think more than worth that, even after 5+ years. But it would depend on what disappointed you about GTAIV. I at least feel like V was more fun, but I liked the protagonists less.

I'd love RDR1 to come to PC, or even get a PS4 remaster, but I've long since given up waiting on that.
