Evening Reading: Two Too Many
A recurring undercurrent in the responses I've heard to Bioshock 2, though, is that it's "more of the same," said as a knock. Setting aside whatever bias we have based on who was or was not involved in its design, that sentiment leaves me wondering whether we could finally be tiring of the overly heavy dose of sequels being served. As much as I loved the atmosphere of Bioshock, more of the same sounds like a good thing. If anything it implies that they got it right, my biggest concern.
As the industry continues to mature, publishers need to develop an eye for recognizing when their lineups run the risk of falling into doldrums from a lack of anything new. I don't remotely expect them to not make a sequel to a successful game. Every sequel, though, doesn't have to get banged out right away like a manufacturing plant.

She was playing the shooting gallery. They invited her to play and yet without saying " Hey stop that shit" they just kicked her.

I think oncewhite (or whatever his name was) started the vote. We should have kicked him when he said he wasn't a shacker.
-
Oh well. She's tired anyway. She's been playing in the snow all day.

If two people on your team vote to kick someone it doesn't matter what the other one voted. I was focused on playing and then I see the vote, then two green check marks appeared and I knew there was nothing I could do. I'm perfectly willing to play l4d with symphony I just think there needs to be extra consideration in balancing the teams when she plays.

The most entertaining volleyball game I ever seen was in the Army when my class played against another class.
We had a female soldier on our team and she spiked the ball and we all went, "OMG you let a girl beat you!" and kept it up.
When someone on the other team spiked on her we went, "Oh wow, you're so manly now you had to beat on a girl!"
We pretty much got the other team to rage and one guy was like, "Oh fuck you assholes!" and rage quit. It was awesome.

Ok, guess she wants to play again.
-
We need a couple more

-
-
um, how old is she?
-
Don't want to start that conversation...
-
lol
-
er, okay, we'll say youngish, then. Where taking it easy on her in a game might still be a good idea.
-
-
no worries she plays blind folded with no sound.
-
Old enough.

But doesn't intothefray swear all the time when she's playing?
-

I guess the time I played with the 2 of them he was on my time while Symphony was on the other team. Whatever, if he wants to swear but still asks us not to, no problems from me. Except for the fact that I think I'm incapable of keeping a civil tongue while playing L4D.

^ Potty mouth.. A little bit is not a big deal. The characters themselves curse a lot. Even I cuss when she's only a few feet from me playing. Just don't want her telling her mommy that some chick named mysled taught her some new words and usages. She learned "the n word" from someone's name in L4D1 and asked her grandma what it meant (we're not very racist).
