I think it was that they were trying to basically kick the old movie out of continuity, but they might have some of the old characters pop back up

Hmm, maybe I should go back and reread the fifth comic in the series because I thought he did unleash his full power on the Hulk. Even going so far as to say (paraphrasing); "so this is what it feels like to finally let go". Ahhhh memories....

Yeah, according to the woman I talked to, I'd start at 10, which is about a dollar and a half above my current. And it seems like you could keep going up much more easily than you would at McDonalds (where you work for 15 years and don't get a store management slot).

Probably gonna start hunting for a new job. McD's is just killing me way to quick and it's gotten to the point where eI dread going to work. First place i'm gonna try is Wells Fargo. Tellers get WAY more than I currently do, and if all else fails after college, I can turn it into a longer term position (supposedly I'd start at $10)

My body tells me it's spent 60 years dealing with my crap and it doesn't like me... AKA I have "Old man back" and "old man feet" and a "trick knee" from my work at McDonalds.

One thing Bioshock 1 had was that the water was always there. The environments you traversed could still be fit into the idea of "Yeah, this could be in Rapture" and suspend your disbelief about how the city was In Infinite? Beyond the first hour or so (which is FANTASTICLY done btw) they might as well have just had you in a standard city. You're going up and down MILES in a city that's flying, which makes no sense because for the outdoor stuff you can be "Well it looks nice" but everything appears to be on rock solid foundation. Indoors you just start going "Ok, I know the island thing that I flew to was NOT this big. It seems less like they really wanted to have the city floating, and instead that was just a convenient way for them to tie the world into ours, while being different from Rapture, and getting the visuals they wanted. With the amount of ground covered in that game, you probably RAN from Montauk Point on Long Island to Jersey. And we're supposed to believe that all of this is flying around the world. Right.

That's the problem with all the Bioshock games, and to an extent System Shock 2 as well. I don't have much of a problem with Ken Levine as a writer as he's far better than most writing for video games but he does have rather a tendency to end up ultimately disappointing, even if it's mainly disappointment that it 'should have ended up better than it did' rather than it being bad as an absolute. But gameplay wise they're the equivalent of Bethesda for story- heaps of options heaps of breadth, but zero depth. Well, the writing is ok, but it's the fact that they don't use the environment that well. It's supposed to be a city in the clouds, but the physical spaces that you go into are wayyyy to big to be in what they show you of the city. And it doesn't help that they keep throwing in plot cul-de-sac's to pad out gameplay.

Bioshock is now finished. Its................ not worth the crazy hype methinks. It starts out well with some good ideas (moving buildings) but eventually just falls into a pit of generic action game in a giant steampunk city. If you did a megacity steampunk thing it'd fit just as well. And then the plot just looses it's pants at the end.

More Bioshock. The more I play the more flaws I see. Combat is a bit "eeeehhhhh", the atmosphere just looses itself to become "disaster!" after a while, and overall it just doesn't feel... right. Part of the fun early on is just the fact that everything is alive and the city looks like it was actually livable. In Bioshock 1 you arrived so far after the problems that the city just didn't seem like a place that you'd want to live in. In Infinite it feels like it would be a nice place to live (ignoring the fact that "morality" is kinda under lock and key). I do like that they didn't have the girl (who's a good character overall) just flat out fall in love with her protector. At least, not a romantic love. If somebody wants me to post one of my page long "reviews" of the game, I will, but right now I'll just leave it at that.

Bioshock Infinite. It started out great but it just... is becoming "Eeeehhhhhh". I think if they did more with the fact that the city is floating in the sky, i'd be happier. Even in the first Bioshocks, part of the reason that it felt like a city under water was because a lot of the challenges that were presented to you were because the water was slowly eating the city. Here it's just... there, the entire thing could have been done on the ground rather than in the sky.

Eh, In games I've always been kinda partial to GTR's. Although nothing will beat the 458.

I wish I was self employed. As it is I did all my own online, but could have just paid 30 bucks at HR Block (which is what at least one of my co-workers was spouting all over the place)

That should make you happy. No matter how down you get about your life, you are always clearing the Lindsay Lohan hurdle. Except I'm not worth eleventy billion dollars. Or a 250k paycheck just to show up at a Saudi Princes party.

What's odd for me is that I'm the same age (about) as Lindsey Lohan.

Something where you wear a suit and can hire me as your personal assistant?

I don't exactly have a lock on my personal data here overall given that half the people on this board decided to shoot me in the head at one point or another. Dude... I manage a bunch of 15 and 16 year olds. Imagine how old I must feel with something like Sugar Ray or Bare Naked Ladies comes on the radio and I start rocking out while they ask who the hell is singing.

This changes on saturday, but 26.

What on Earth does the royal family have to do with it? It's the reason those mines were part of the government. The Royal Family technically owns(or owned) all of the governments lands, so the reason that those mines were government institutions in the first place was because they were on Royal territories. In America the land would have mostly been under private control, and the owner given an "offer [they] can't refuse" so that the land gets kicked to a mining company.

I'll give you that much... if it makes you feel any better? Yes, because if it gets to blatant it's forcibly shut down.

Yeah, but I think it's more the fact that those mines she closed were the only industry in the area for the men who worked there, so the inhabitants lost everything in the loss of that one job.

Rosj, If you and I ever hung out wearing the right things, we'd blow nerds MINDS (I look a LOT like Clark Kent.

Um... You're kinda twisting things here. Everyone wants everyone else to be dependent on them. Mongolia, India, and Pakistan are not reliant on the USA and are independent states... your doing a terrible job at demonizing the USA when you have to pick people who actively antagonize the US as the examples for "United states vill dominate ze werld!" The US does have a massive impact on the world, because we're the nation who's pop culture reaches the farthest. And the USSR didn't "Want to be a major independent player" they WERE the other major player. Fear of them is what caused a lot of the rightward swing in politics, and is at least part of why Margret Thatcher got her job.

We should strive for a 100% awesome composition. Aren't we at 95% right now anyway?
