Hello everyone, if you have clicked on this article you are obviously a fan of Rockstar Games and more notably Red Dead Redemption. Anyone who has ever picked up a gaming controller has obviously heard of Red Dead Redemption and is 100% aware of the masterpiece that it is.

Released in 2010, the game told the story of John Marston, a former outlaw tasked with bringing the members of his former gang to justice, receiving the return of his family as a reward upon completion of this task. This game received a number of game of the year awards most notably because of its thrilling story, gameplay, and environment. There have been many games that have used the same old "apocalyptic" or "modern-day city" or "warzone" environments but only a few have been able to create a "wild west" environment and Red Dead Redemption was by far the king of Wild West Games. One of the smaller factors that made this game stand out however, was its characters, many of them with different personalities. Most of them followed some form of stereotype or a kind of person you would hear stories about in the wild west, yet they also had an excellent amount of depth to their personalities. If you have gotten on the Internet at all recently, you have no doubt seen the new trailer for the sequel to Red Dead Redemption which will be released in the fall of 2017. While the trailer did not give us much to go on, it did set the stage as being at least similar to the original game. If it's a similar setting, that means we may see some familiar faces as well.

Without further ado, here are the characters we most hope to see make a comeback from the original game.

1. Bonnie McFarlane

The first real friend John Marston makes after being shot by one of Bill Williamson's thugs, Bonnie McFarlane is as hot as tomboys come, especially in the gaming world. With a sarcastic tone and a lovable country girl personality, as well as a noble desire to leave the ranch life and explore the world of the city, Bonnie makes the perfect first impression of the game as she is able to take the player on a journey which shows them that this is not just another shoot-em-up game with a Wild West setting. Through her the player is able to see that this is a game with story and heart. The bonafide example of a woman we wish the main character would have left their wife for, Bonnie is in the hearts of all players and it would be a joyful occasion to see her in the sequel.

2. Nigel West Dickens

"It's the snake oil man!"

Everybody loves a good con-man as long as they're not the one being conned and no one does it better than Nigel West Dickens. They say the best liars are the ones who can convince themselves that their lies are facts and Mr. West Dickens is no doubt the best liar we have seen in gaming history. When he's not out conning the general, IQ-below-100 population, he's aiding our friend John Marston in his quest to save his family. Funny enough Mr. West Dickens is talented enough to do both the conning and the aiding. With some of the funniest lines in the game, an over dramatic personality, and a tender/caring heart beneath all the layers of his suit, Nigel West Dickens would be a wonderful character to see in the sequel both for the nostalgia as well as the slight increase in anxiety as we try to keep a closer eye on our wallets while he's around.

3. Abraham Reyes

Another day in the old west, another wannabe Pancho Villa trying to start a revolution and topple the government. Abraham Reyes was the prototype version of Pancho Villa as well as Don Juan combined. More successful with the ladies than all readers of this article combined, and a heart that wishes to see Mexico become the country he wants it to be, Abraham was a fun character to have around. Whether it be storming the gates of Escalera or storming the bedroom of Luisa Fortuna, this man was one of the most powerful and inspired characters found south of the border and assuming they leave the events of "Undead Nightmare" completely out of the equation it would be great to see just how Abraham has been doing as the 3rd President of Mexico in the last 4 years (and I'm just making numbers up) since the game had started.

4. Jack Marston

This one is a must. After the (spoiler alert) death of John Marston and soon-after death of Abigail Marston, the player takes over as their son, Jack Marston. While the game allows us to play as Jack, we unfortunately only get him for one mission in which he can avenge the deaths of his father and uncle by killing Agent Edgar Ross (and his family if the player plays the same way I did). Outside of this mission however, the player only gets Jack for the sandbox mode of the game with no real story to follow him. It wouldn't be justice if we did not get to have a true story for Jack as we see how he has adjusted to the carnage around him after the complete loss of his family. Hopefully Rockstar Games gives us this one and allow us to see the man Jack Marston has become.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
