Weekend Discussion

by Chris Faylor, Mar 14, 2009 8:55am PDT

Nice to see that we got some actual BioShock 2 details yesterday, especially after the early morning fake-out. Though I will admit, I'm a bit bummed that the rhinoceros and giant squid bosses turned out to be bunk. Those sounded off-the-wall awesome.

As Indiana is still pulling the old "it looks sunny and nice outside but it's really just a few degrees above freezing" trick, I think I'll end up spending most of the weekend inside. Let's see how many episodes of The Wire I can burn through, but don't worry. I'll take breaks to play Resident Evil 5, 50 Cent, and Peggle. Maybe I'll even read a book!

  I really want to get into SF4 but I have no real life friends who play and do not really care for random online matches.
  
  When I'm tempted to go get SF4 I go play SF2 Turbo HD Remix and realize how impossible this game is.
