I really like the setting for Bioshock and the story and atmosphere is awesome and all, but I dunno for some reason the gameplay or rest of the game just seems okay, like I will probably play through the whole game at least once but I have played better games this year.
I think Mass Effect has been the best game I've played in ages.

I watched this, and remembered being in debate in high school. I learned how to connect anything to nuclear war. Even white chocolate.
Oh god I did the same damn thing. I was so proud of my success at policy debate and eventually became acutely embarrassed. I honestly think that doing it made me a substantially worse person than if I had not.

I guess I'd agree. I thought the theme and story of Bioshock were better than Mass Effect but that ME was a much smoother, well-produced and fun video game.
Both were great games though - don't get me wrong.

Debate, making politicians and bad people out of the innocent.
There's Nothing Wrong with Love is pretty good but none of the songs really stick out to me as being particularly AMAZING except maybe Twin Falls/Some (I practically consider them the same song).
Maybe I am just relatively old and if I played Half-Life 2 fresh today it would seem terrible to me
But at the time it was such an incredibly immersive experience, and the setting was so very well realized yet understated. It pushed all of my buttons. That and the gameplay wasn't shabby at all.

I'm with you, tar.
a game doesn't need to tell you a story for it to have a story.

Well yeah I think that it was probably revolutionary.
But I played it after I played Bioshock. You can probably see how it suffers in comparison.
Half Life 1 was a great game and had a good bad shit happens in secret science place story. It was perfect. Half Life 2 lost me when I had to drive around. I couldn't care about any of the characters and just killing large numbers of combine got boring. The episodes 1 and 2 are supposedly better but I haven't got around to playing them.
Bioshock on the other hand drew me into the story. I felt for my characters plight and I my actions where those of the character I was playing as not some faceless being. It was like watching a really light but good horror/sci-fi movie.

Yeah. But again, Half-Life 2 is something I woke up at 4:30 in the morning to play my sophomore year in high school. This is after realizing that I wouldn't be able to play at all at midnight. I was excited.
People tell me that the original half-life holds up GREAT today and I look at them and nod politely. My relationship with HL2 is probably analogous.
How bad is Fantastic 4, Rise of the Silver Surfer?
'cause it's on TV
It's fucking terrible. It was one of the first movies I ever got from Netflix and the first of the very few one star ratings I've given to a movie on the site.

It was a kids movie. its one step up from something you'd find on the disney channel.

I honestly didn't find either especially compelling, but HL at least provided more chances for clever tactics.
Bioshock had to put puddles all over the place.

I love cowardly tactics.

I played a couple of hours of HL2 and ran into some talking signposts occasionally

The game is incredibly beautiful, and the game is all about the scenery and story.

That movie made me sad and I don't even like the Silver Surfer or the Fantastic 4.
I mean, really, I've never really known someone who was a professional at being wrong. Where do you sit on the world rankings? In the top five, right?
no it wasn't....
unless you mean it was better at being terrible.
it is so bad

Ioan Gruffudd is pretty manly though. 'Course I could just watch Horatio Hornblower for that
