In response to: Atlas was right... I'm just not sure what about exactly?

Damien [Visitor]
I've recently played Bioshock, and I find I must disagree with almost every point you raise here. When I finished it I immediately started it again. Not just to get the second ending, but because I wanted to. Playing it was such a rich experience. I'm now on my third playthrough and I'm not bored yet.

It's true to say Ryan's death scene is nothing we haven't seen before, but any fiction writer will tell you a cliche is only a cliche if it doesn't work, and it works beautifully here. I must also challenge your claim that there are too many enemies. That's just a silly complaint. And the argument regarding lack of variation leads me to wonder if we're actually talking about the same game.

There are flaws. You're right to say ammo is too freely available. This along with the vita-chambers removes much of the challenge. And the endings are too understated. But this I found easy to forgive, as the beauty of this game is (along with the excellent story) the fun it offers while playing. The fluid gameplay and atmosphere make this a masterpiece of a game.

Yea, I like the movie a lot - but I think most of that stems from the facts that I was born in Vallejo and live in Benicia where his first killing was....supposedly at Lake Hermon.

The chap who 'once said, if you see a gun in a film, eventually someone is going to fire it' was Chekov, I believe. In correspondence IIRC. I had the exact quote and reference once, I think I put it in my MPhil thesis.

In response to: Bioshock ftw!

Cristian [Visitor]
I didn't care for the blue dragon demo but that must have been something temporary. Will buy it.

I do think this game will be pretty focused on ALOT of action. Appearntly there will be alot of different spells and stuff... and when you finish bioshock you get to see this video with pretty much only fighting in it.. its twisted as hell and the monsters are scary and the spells seems to be many. I still cant wait though.

GOTY? Probably.. haven't been such an amazing gaming year imo.

And by the way Charlotte, download or buy or whatever the game Planescape: Torment, play it, realize it's the greatest rpg ever created with a setting better than bioshock, write about it here, profit?

Honestly it's probably the greatest game ever.


WEIRDO: I will endeavour to get a copy of Planescape Torment and play the hell out of it, and when I realise it's the greatest RPG ever made then I will write about it for sure :D

Ja Dexter is cool, I can't wait for the rest of season 2 :D. Although I'm still finding it hard thinking in my mind of Michael C Hall doing something rather than his character in sixth feet under, which was also a bit weird at times too :P.


WEIRDO: Ja, waiting sucks big time.

But yeah, bout that I wouldn't really know, because I never really watched that much Six Feet Under; though I feel I should, like a million other damn tv shows :/

Woah, great stuff. I posted news about in the site I shamelessly plugged in my previous comment. I could only think of crediting "Weirdo" though - let me know if you want a proper name!

And please keep up with the cooking. Have you played Grim Fandango? (If you haven't, and like Psychonauts, then it's an absolute must) -- anyway, I always though that Manny's face would make an interesting cake.


WEIRDO: Can use Charlotte if you wish, or Cptalbertwesker, I usually either use my alias' or my name :P
But yeah as for the Manny heads we did think about doing one, but that two-headed baby really took it out of us ^_^

Though I think if I were to make a grim fandango cake, it would need a few characters featured as they are just too awesome!

I did a Google search for "Aberystwyth" and "Torchwood" because I was curious to see what people said about Aberystwyth's 'appearence' in the show...

Anyway, that bit is irrelevent. I really just wanted to plug a site I work for - http://www.mixnmojo.com/

If you like Double Fine and Telltale, you might want to check it out.


WEIRDO: Hehe funny that you were looking for that, someone did mention it at the Torchwood talk that I saw at Ffresh, but it was 'why did you use some parts of Cardiff and call it Aberystwyth' I have looked on your site everynow and again ^_^ Can't miss it if you're an old Lucasarts fan

On Monday, I was sat next to the guest who was next to Rene .. Rene seemed kinda odd!

He just sat there reading a book most of the day, looking up whenever someone came down the queue, but that was about it.

I certainly wouldn't mess with him .. he's thinking in that photo "hmm, I wonder who I can kill next ..."

Moo's biggest fan, I like that :D I have a Moopic somewhere, I'm too lazy to upload :(

Seems like Tim and Nathan just can't catch a break right now.
Favourite moment: When Alex and Corrina leave the "minion" tied up in the Gas station and steal his car, go to pull away and . . .
The look on their faces is just fantastic. Apparently Tim Minear called this the "Millennium Falcon jumping to light speed" moment.


WEIRDO: Suppose any of the guy's work is better than none at all, that's what I tell myself anyways :P

Ahaha that was priceless ^_^ cute 'millennium falcon moment'

I am a massive fan of video game music. Some of the best music is produced with video games in mind. Such games as Silent Hill would of not been possible without the brilliant and unique music created soley with the setting in mind.

I have played Sam n Max the original and the 1st new episode. Guess i should give the others a go :P


WEIRDO: Indeed, as everyone should know hands down Akira Yamaoka produces some of the most original mind blowing music out there for videogames, the only other game to give me goosebumps when listening is the Halo soundtrack... hmm but then I can't forget MGS... and then Resident Evil's got some nice tracks >_> got me off on a tangent there ^_^

Yeah I recommend the new episodic games, if not to buy the whole season, then wait til they are released at retail and... easier to get ahold of :P

I must say I really liked the episode of Doctor Who, even though from the thing at the end of the christmas one I thought ugh it looks like poo :P

I loved the Zovirax thing too, although I must agree, I'm sure that advert hasn't been on for a while, but hey what would I know :P.



WEIRDO: Heh yeah, I felt the same thing watching the teaser for the series after confidential... just looks sorta poo; then again, there will always be crap episodes in shows, I'm sure even Buffy has a couple of those... firefly doesn't of course :P

But no, I do believe that advert is at least 5 years old now or something O_o
