Red Dead Redemption 2 is finally coming to PC. In fact, it won’t be too long until you’re able to jump in and live the wild west life of Arthur Morgan, as it releases next week. There are plenty of ways you can pre-order Red Dead Redemption 2 on PC, but the most interesting option for those in the US and Canada might just come from digital games retailer Green Man Gaming.

When you pre-order Red Dead Redemption 2 on PC at Green Man Gaming, you get a bonus code for a spin of the site’s Wheel of Credit. The Wheel of Credit will net you at least $4 of credit, but if you’re lucky like me, you could hit the largest amount of $50. Yep, I can’t believe I actually got that much either.

After spinning, you’ll get a voucher code that can be redeemed for a gift card. You just need to add a gift card of the same amount to your cart and then put your code into the designated spot–once you do that, you’ll get the gift card for free. On its FAQ page, Green Man Gaming notes the code will eventually expire. We’ve reached out to clarify what the expiration date is and will update this story with that information.

The FAQ also lists your chances of getting each prize.

  • $4 – 93%
  • $5 – 3%
  • $10 – 2%
  • $20 – 1%
  • $50 – 1%

In GameSpot’s Red Dead Redemption 2 review, the game earned an impressive 9/10.

“While Red Dead Redemption was mostly focused on John Marston’s story, Red Dead 2 is about the entire Van der Linde gang–as a community, as an idea, and as the death rattle of the Wild West,” wrote critic Kallie Plagge. “It is about Arthur, too, but as the lens through which you view the gang, his very personal, very messy story supports a larger tale. Some frustrating systems and a predictable mission structure end up serving that story well, though it does take patience to get through them and understand why. Red Dead Redemption 2 is an excellent prequel, but it’s also an emotional, thought-provoking story in its own right, and it’s a world that is hard to leave when it’s done.”

House of the Dragon: Rewatch GRRM and Ryan Condal’s Deep-Dive on Fantasy

Back in February 2016, I had the opportunity of a lifetime where I got to travel to George R.R. Martin’s theater in Santa Fe, N.M. and host a conversation between him and his friend, Colony co-creator Ryan Condal, as part of a special screening and Q&A for Condal’s then-new USA series.

Who would have known then that, three-and-a-half years later, Condal and Martin would officially team up for a new Game of Thrones series, House of the Dragon, which Condal will co-showrun with GoT director Miguel Sapochnik?

Star Wars: Why Did Benioff and Weiss Really Exit?

In a week of major entertainment news, few stories have stood out more than the announcement that David Benioff and D.B. Weiss have stepped away from their planned series of Star Wars films. In a statement released to Deadline, the duo chalked up their departure to a very busy schedule and their overall deal with Netflix. “There are only so many hours in the day, and we felt we could not do justice to both Star Wars and our Netflix projects,” they said. “So we are regretfully stepping away.”

Hollywood Executives Share Disagreements on Value of Marvel Films

While the streaming and box office wars continue, some of Hollywood’s biggest executives came together for a rare roundtable interview with The Hollywood Reporter, and with Disney’s Marvel movies’ continued domination, feelings run a little hot.

When THR reporter Matthew Belloni asked if, like American Idol, there would come a point where it wasn’t “cool” to watch Marvel movies, Disney Studios CCO Alan Horn pushed back.

“The answer is no,” Horn told THR. “If the film has a compelling storyline, if it has heart and humor, two things that I insist on, and it’s terrifically well executed, I think there is an audience. But who knows?

Butters Disappoints in South Park’s New Halloween Special

Like any self-respecting animated sitcom, South Park has a long history of Halloween specials under its belt. Apart from a handful of real classics (“Hell on Earth 2006” comes to mind) and a couple clunkers, these specials tend to fall into the “decent, not great” category. So it is with the show’s latest Halloween episode, the meta-heavy but only intermittently funny “Tegridy Farms Halloween Special.”

The good news is the series hasn’t quite squeezed the last juice out of the fruit that is Tegridy Farms. That ongoing storyline has often threatened to overstay its welcome this season, but at the end of the day it’s hard to argue with the show redoubling its focus on all things Randy. The stupider and more self-absorbed Randy gets, the more the show benefits. It helps that this episode shifts focus to Shelly for a change, allowing her to do more than just show up for 30 seconds a week and yell at her dad. Casting Shelly as a cauldron-brewing saboteur with a marijuana “problem” definitely helps inject new life into Tegridy Farms.
