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!

  He just has some stupid patterns with him. His timing is just computer perfect. If you played him, you'll find his moves are easy and easily combo-able. The problem is his defense -- it's very weak compared to the rest of the characters.
  
  I've played him on the hardest and won with Sagat. I've now beaten him with Balrog on the second hardest as well.
