My Five Favorite Red Dead Redemption Glitches
Rockstar recently released a new game called Back to the Future III. Well thats what I wish the game's plot was about but instead they released a game set in the same era only its about cowboys or something. I don't own the game, not because I don't think it will be awesome but the glitch videos far outweigh any possible gameplay moments. Rockstar is also releasing bug fixes for it and sadly I'd rather play the broken version as opposed to the fixed edition.
Glitch 1: Bird People
Apparently the game has confused the character models for birds and people
Glitch 2: Honing Dynamite
In the 1800s, man's greatest invention was honing dynamite that was used to effectively destroy local bird populations
Glitch 3: Bear Riding a Horse
Either this is a circus mod or just a really funny bug
Glitch 4: The hardest part about rollerblading ...
is telling your parents you're gay
Glitch 5: Horse embedded in the ground
Sandbox Part 3
So let's see, still in the sandbox.
Added links from:
- Trusted article sources
- Wikipedia
- A number of local search sites
- Social (micro-blogging and ugc)
Additional site content added:
- Added a Blog (up to 10 entries right now)
- Added +100 words of additional rich content to a number of subpages
Still nothing, ranking 140 for the main keyword, top 50 for second tier keywords and top 10 for third tier keywords. This is what really sucks, my site has better content and links than my competitors but Google is taking a while to figure it all out. I did find one really good link opportunity that I think will be the shove that pushes my site over the edge and into relevant ranking land but I'll let you know how that turns out.
Sandbox Diary Part 2
Today's update:
I spent most of tonight filling out and verifying local business profiles. I already had the site listed in Google Local / Places so hopefully the additional listings will help the site rank on local and maybe un-sandbox my site because Google will realize the business is listed on a bunch of legitimate sites.
Sandbox Diary Part 1
I am trying to see whether the Google Sandbox is a myth and only exists because people don't know how to build links or whether it is a legitimate phenomenon. If it does exist? What does it take to get out? Here is where I am as of 5/15/2010.
Site: Brand new domain, live on 3/1, 15 to 20 competitive sites for the keywords I'm targetting, main keywords are in the domain name, .com tld
- Confirmed in Webmaster tools, domain registered until 2013
Link Building:
Blogs - Two blogroll links on relevant sites (150 links total)
Directories - Yahoo Directory
Articles - 10 articles on 5 different services using varied anchor text
Press Releases - 1
Social Media - Twitter account, Identi.ca account, Facebook fan page
Others - Aboutus.org (nofollow not the dofollow paid service)
For the top tier keywords, the site ranks around 150 to 200, for second tier keywords 20 to 40, and for third tier keywords first page and in some cases first overall.
This week I have tentatively planned for 10 new articles, one or two directory submissions and some social bookmarking. Let's see what happens.
Slim Thug’s Twitter Account is Amazing
If you're thinking of killing yourself and need one good reason to keep on living, I suggest putting the gun down, undoing the rope or pulling the car out of the garage and checking out Slim Thug's Twitter account.
Yes I am joining the late train on this one (Chris told me about it) but after a week of following his words, I can tell you this much, its the most entertaining thing on the internet.
Take some of the following words of wisdom from Houston's finest:
"Ok I quit I was bored back to the game #whatmendo but fathers pls spend time with yo kids they could become stans or boyz who like boyz smfh"
"Hey @TayGoHard4Ciara HOMO I wasn't hating on Ciara I said she's fine and I wanna have sex with her now u and yo faggotfriends go buttfuck"
"No I said u need a face transplant and a body transplant 2 RT @iSTANFORSUPERCI: Lmfaooooo. @slimthugga said I need a face lift. Ahhhhhhh!"
"Somebody tell Ciara I want her to ride my beat"
"I just hit the weed for the first time since December I dnt even miss that shit" this was followed by "#fuckdrugs" (this is also the name of a new song)
Regarding #teamnatural "Rules no sunglasses to cover up rings around the eyes no bras to push up sagging tits no heels to help u get a ass no make up. #teamNatural"
"But I'm not saying everychick need a big ass and titties some are sexy without it"
"Ok I quit tryna help yall ass stay yo lonely ass in the house with yo toys.. And be single forever with yo high expectations #doyou"
"Cause some niggalaos bitches@SammieLovesU: So why do some guys call females hoes when they do fuck on the first nite if its ok? @slimthugga"
"Nobody wanna fuck yo fat ugly ass anyway RT @lulucakess: @slimthugga ass be having sum ole bullshit ass tweets #killyoself BIG TIME!!!"
"And 2 all girls who already had sex be4 but still wanna make u wait its a 3 date limit Oprah even said it It only makes us fuckother girls"
