That is right about where I am now. I just defeated the crazy doctor. I bought the enrage plasmid, but forgot to equip it. How do I go back and do that. Right now I am at that point where I don't really no what to do next.

You have to find a gene bank, and that lets you reequip plasmids. Just to let you know, the game will only get better from the point you're at. And also quite a bit harder, especially with the hacking mini-games. They're easy at the beginning, but after a while they stack the odds against you like a bitch.

Trying to decide if I want to sacrifice sleep in place of more Bioshock. I have said a few swear words today due to that game. But my curiosity as to what happens next makes it hard for me to put it down. Sign of a great game indeed. I have not had this much fun with an FPS game since Half Life 2.

I reloaded the OS on my computer and it's running much better now. I don't know what I did but I must have fuxed-up my Vista at some point before playing games and I never had good performance. Now Sims 2 starts up in no time and runs smooth. Very happy. :D

Total came to $915. For those to lazy to read the above link, it's a turion 64 X2, 2 gigs ram, GeForce 6150 that can go to 512MB, excellent speakers for a laptop, and it came with a remote :D

This thing kicks ass. Can't wait to chuck vista though and triboot xp, sabayon, and OSx86 :D

And yes, I now owe my grandmother my soul. She paid for part of my tuition and this. I am more grateful than you can even imagine. I gotta go get a thank you card for her still.

What studio?

If it's EA, you should gather all of your belongings into a funeral pyre of your own crispy demise, because that's the only way you can keep your soul from being devoured. Fiendishly.

Thanks guys... An no it's not EA, I didn't even apply for a job there.

The studio is called Gameloft, a leading international publisher and developer of video games for mobile phones. But they don't only make games for cellphones, they've extended their production to Xbox360, Wii, NDS and PSP. They're the studio behind Prince of Persia Classic on XBLA.

Holy ****s, we got ourselves a bonafide game developing monkey on these forums.

*Bows to Coupes in esteemed honor*

Anyway, something I bought at Fry's, visiting it the first time in Washington. I went to Fry's maybe two or three times in California years ago, but I finally went there.... I wish I could live there and/or steal anything I could get my hands on. Well, I just got a game and a case fan for my PC, which is seriously lacking in fans. As in it has no case fans, only CPU, PSU, and GPU fans.

$40 - Yeah, sleezy cat girls do make games better. I'm only about two hours into it, but I'm enjoying the ride at the moment. I probably should have gotten Joanne 'd Arc, though...

But bad thing, for some reason there is a slightly dim spot on the screen of my PSP, about the size of a small button, smaller than a dime. But I can easily ignore it and it's really only noticeable in light screens or when there are solid colors. Hardly noticeable in Lumines and it always seems like I'm being followed by a demon in Brave Story. It's slightly off-center.

Edit:

$30, lawl. I need more money, I'm getting promoted at work but school is starting and I'm probably going to be strapped for cash when all the new XB360 games come out between now and Christmas.

LOVE THIS GAME! It is innovative, exciting, and yet easy to play even on the hardest setting. I especially like the ability to electrocute slicers in Rapture. I have to say this game far exceeded my expectations.

I agree with you completely. The game is amazing. The game is excellent thus far.

If just defeated the two Big Daddies in Neptune's Bounty. Though, I defeated them separately. And I collected a gift for rescuing the Little Sister's and I've bought two slots and upgraded my character.

Though, I didn't get Enrage and ended up getting a health increase. And just got the plasmid to get a Big Daddy on your side.

Very fun game, indeed.

My bro bought the game today after I egged him on by telling him how he'd like it and that it was really good. Funny thing is that the game froze 4 times in the very start when he was in the water.

Arg, I missed it when the first give-away came. I waited for noon and the site went down. When they said they would have random drawings for 24 hours. I thought they mean't they'd start the next day at 7:00 PM, not that day. So I was ready to sign-up the next day at 7:00 PM, and I get a "Registration Closed" screen. Pissed me off!

Although I bought almost the entire Fear Factory catalog, and some other things, this was my biggest purchase.

My last router had to be reset after nearly every case of rain, or foul weather known to mankind. Having to reset my router consists of running the install disc, and then resetting the router by pushing a pen into the reset button. The process only takes about five minutes, but I have had to reset this thing almost every day towards the end of August, as there has been a perpetual monsoon in Joliet as of late. Taking this up with the lads at Circuit City, I had no idea that routers only last so long, and my last router was purchased in either 2003, or 2004, so it was past it's life time. I had no use for wireless internet, as all my crap is in the same room. However, they convinced me, that I don't have to use the wireless features, and I can still hard wire all the stuff the same way I did before. Plus, for some reason, the wireless routers were all on sale.

Getting this router finally resolved my problem, and my connection seems to run a bit faster. I only paid about $60 for this one...same price I paid for the old one. No complaints from me so far. :)

Well, anyway- I'm more of a console gamer now, not much of a PC gamer, too expensive most of the time. Games I've tried: Battlefield 2, The Sims 2 + Every Expansion, STALKER, and Company of Heroes. Around 2 hours time with each so far, and not a single crash.

I feel sorry for you.
Oh, it was a hardware problem, not software. RAM was bad and very poor quality.

I've been waiting for a while to get this. Finally come out today. So far, I am just adjusting to the controls, which may take a bit to master. But, the graphics on this game are outstanding and without a doubt this is the most realistic hockey I've ever played on a console/PC. The customization of your own player is much more in-depth than before, thus realistic faces and what-not. Fun game from what I've played so far.
