That Gurrenn-Lagann...thing was fairly abysmal, despite myself generallly liking over-the-top.

Halo 3 Gone Gold
So, there's like three persons on this board who've tried co-op? Alright then, it's your loss. But please don't come complaining about disadvantages that hardly matter in the scope of co-op-gameplay. You're preaching to the choir. Halo is a popcorn game, it's polished, perfectly marketed and it's story, pace and plot model are pre-chewed to dissuade thinking, since the regular Halo gamer is fiftteen, pasty and thinks Peter Jackson's Lotr is the height of the movie medium. Depth is tacked on later on with comics, args, novels etc, while in the actual games everything is done for the sake of gameplay, like HL 2, the plot is a pretext to constantly offer new obstacle courses for the player - an old mechanic, but taken to the peak by Halo 2. Despite all that(or maybe because that) it's a perfect group activity, a continuation to beer and FILA openings. Call me a populist, but it's not like the franchise is cutting on games with actual depth, Halo is the only decent console fps. It'd be nice for people to actually appreciate it for what it is, for what it tries. I'd be along with you folks on the hate train if Bungie actually were like Molyneux, but they've said before that it's just a first person shooter, not an epic scifi vision for the new generation.

Bioshock!
Dummy+Cyclone trap works pretty well, so does Dummy+oil leak+incinerate. I don't even bother with Hornet-plasmid and Winter blast, their only use is against Houdinis and, with the latter one, hacking.

Awesome.

spiderman a possibility
If I recall somewhat correctly, there's already an ongoing research on to this, for the technology's appliance into construction work, safety harnesses, spelunking etc.

Going to college BRB
Is this a good thread to tell that all my dormmates are womenfolk, from Latvia, Russia, London and Hong Kong respectively, lunches cost almost nothing here and that I'm lost in the campus area, looking for a noticeboard? Second day of college and I'm totally lost on stuff and also many kinds of awesome. Good stuff: -I actually have a place to sleep -Dining is cheap -There's like free parties and stuff -This is a top-of-the-line, prestigious, language department of the second biggest uni in Finland. -Womenfolk Not-that-decent Stuff -My room has no light, no furniture except a broken chair and it's ways off uni. -It's not permanent accomodation, but a temporary acco from student union for a month -Internet only from campus, and I don't even own a 'puter -I've missed all bonding occasionals so far because I can only check up on things from the campus 'puters I miss Bioshock.

The what are you eating and/or drinking thread!
Uni chow. I should be at some class bonding/city sightseeing thing, but since I've already missed most of it, plus the previous bonding enactment, I doubt they care.

Aliens vs. Predator (2): Requiem
Was I seriously the only one who liked Alien 3. I thought it was delightfully bleak and understated.

The Return of the son of The Comic Thread
Bible Manga announced! Tyndale House Publishers announced that it is launching a yearly series of Christian manga drawn by Japanese artists in September, as well as a Manga Bible with three manga sections in November. Amazon lists Hidenori Kumai as the author, with Kozumi Shinozawa and Atsuko Ogawa as the illustrators, of the first manga book, Manga Messiah. The Manga Bible will include the entire New Living Translation of the text with three 32-page manga tip-in sections that summarize the narrative. Holy Jesus mother****ing yaoi! This will eventually kill the Internet. In one fell swoop, Mus wins the page

Bioshock!
Yeah, I killed the first one with a mere revolver. I did die 4 times before I caught on that the charge doesn't follow your movement, but is instead a straight line. AFter that it was easy sailing. Also, the recoil decrease upgrade to the Suomi-konepistooli(ehehe) is awesome. Or rather, the weapon worthless without it, which brings me to my actual point.:Guns are completely useless on their own. I understand that the game is supposed to encourage using both forms of offense(plasmids and weapons) in combination since most of the former have some kind of debilitating effect like freeze or stun, but later splicers eat lead like mad. I feel like playing Unreal sometimes, in a bad way. That game was absolutely notorious for having castrated all weapons. That said, telekinesis(die droids, die!) and other crazily effective plasmids like upgraded electro shock do remedy that. All things said, SS 2 wasn't a lot better, until you got the hang of different ammo types.

The Return of the son of The Comic Thread
I don't think so, and I pretend that I have actually some authority on this, having read my fair share of comics, both American, European and Asia...err, Japanese(Korean comics tend to suck and Hindi are weird). It's true that a lot of stuff that gets licensed to West, I mean the ones you probably know and which likely compose that "90% of it all", look similar simply because 90% of the licensed manga is shounen which tends to garner for a market that expects certain style(that being BESM), but using that generalisation on all manga is a big error. The style is prominent simply because there's a lot of reception for it, but that doesn't mean it is ubiquitous. Far from it.

Bioshock!
Keep closing and opening the distance between you and Rosie and continuosly shoot with electric bucks. When you empty the clip, either try to keep the distance stunt on so that the golem can't decide whether to kick you or shoot you, or take cover. The stun from electricity gives you a bit of time to maneuver around. You could also just use enrage or hypnotize.
