Latest Red Dead Redemption screens sneak up and take us out
Jan/100
Alright, alright, not really — they’re just screenshots, folks! But these four new screens do most assuredly feature Red Dead Redemption’s main hero (and his buddy Marshall Johnson) sneaking up on a variety of old West bad guys to, presumably, take them out — the folks at Rockstar claim that these shots are about “taking cover,” but we can see with our own eyes that they’re clearly about clandestinely poppin’ fools.
We’ve still got a few more months before the game’s scheduled release date of April 27, and as such, we’d be willing to bet this isn’t the last we’ve seen of Mr. Marston and his U.S. Marshall buddies.

3 News Stories Keeping Some South Africans Out of The Water
Jan/100
Three stories in the press over the last few weeks, have given South African’s unusual concerns about swimming off Cape Town’s beaches, surfing around the estuaries of Eastern Cape Rivers and canoeing in the Umgeni River.
Sharks Around Cape Town Beaches
A Zimbabwean man holidaying in Cape Town was killed, when he was attacked by what is believed to be a great white shark at Fish Hoek beach in Cape Town.
Ninety three shark attacks, 12 fatal, were reported in the Eastern and Western Cape beaches in the last 18 years compared to only 19, with one death, on KwaZulu-Natal’s beaches. The shark nets installed there have reduced attacks by 99%, since the 1960s, when attacks were a frequent occurrence. But nets are not suitable for Cape beaches because of rough seas, the presence of whales and seals and the type of sharks.
