Morning Discussion
by Alice O'Connor, Feb 09, 2010 5:00am PSTHow can one sum up Tuesday February 9, 2010, in a single, short Morning Discussion? Probably with a link to a video of possibly the world's first natural sighting of an oarfish. The ocean is mysterious, wonderful and amazing and one day will destroy us all. If we're lucky, the ocean's life will be responsible for our downfall. We can but dream.
On a related note, today we have a dedicated BioShock 2 Chat Thread for all you Rapturian rotters to share their gossip and watery whispers. Chat-a-chat.

The best I can come up with is Camp 'n' Shop, and that's less of a play on words and more shit.

So, I turned my PC on this evening and the hard drive isn't being detected. Nothing in the bios. I stick it in a caddy and nothing pops up, another drive in the caddy works fine. Short of throwing this thing against a wall. What are my options?

I think I like that part more than playing the actual game. Like if you miss one shot, or nudge some wall, its start -> down -> down -> X restart!
Some people will just play the whole thing through anyway, but I can't do it. It has to be perfect or I just start over. The reason I bring this up is because I am pretty sure I haven't completed a full race in Wipeout in 3 days. I'm working on one specific trophy and I know within the first 5-10 laps if I am going to get it or not.

Finally, our Winter 2010 quarterly competition has begun!
Rules: Any picture you have taken from December 1st through February 28th is eligible. There is no theme (IE, it does not have to be seasonally themed). You just want to pick the best picture you took from December to February and submit it and we'll begin voting for a winner starting March 1st.
As always, if you have been wanting to join but haven't for some reason, this is a great way to jump in, since there is no topic and you've probably already got a submission in mind.

The box everything is held in is soft but really sturdy. The LP was awesome to listen to and has a great slip package. The art book is the best one found in a CE ever, it rivals the Raising the Bar book that was released separately when Half Life 2 was released, this thing is worth $25 alone. The posters are awesome and printed on some really good stock paper and the Bioshock 2 CD soundtrack is a great treat.
Well done dahanese, I didn't feel ripped off giving an extra $30 for this. All the extra content is worth well over $60. Better pre-order deals would have been nice.
Oh, and the game is damn awesome too. I love being back in Rapture, I feel like I haven't been here in so long just like as if I was actually gone. The fact its all rotten and decayed really gives a dangerous feel when exploring.

How is limiting my pistol's clip to 17 shots a step forward in technology, when I had unlimited ammo two years ago? Do people actually care about a reload animation so much that they'll accept this crap-injection into the ME lore and take a step-backward in terms of gameplay?
Seriously, I know there's ammo everywhere, but I still run out sometimes during major fights and have to go scrounge for more, all while I risk getting shot. It's just stupid when thinking of the first game.

I posted about this in the bioshock chatty but thought I would repeat myself here
It doesn't support the xbox pad like the first one did making it worthless to my girlfriend (she can't play with mouse/keyboard)
What makes a developer remove things like this? Decent controller support is pretty important for casual gamers. Really sucks and it's a dealbreaker for me as it was a birthday gift for her :(

while I am in no ways upset by your post, I think you are missing out my personal reason for even making these. A chance to cook with BACON! Everything about my concoction was to augment the bacon, not the other way around.
Also, you went with cream cheese, how did that work out for you? I assumed it would be difficult to mix with the chorizo and probably melt out. Did you Smoke them and finish with the sauce?
