What I've been doing with my free time
Bioshock 2, that's what. I bought it when it was released in February and it has been patiently waiting for the winter semester to end so that I could play it. I finally unwrapped the package and popped the disc in the Xbox Sunday night. I am half way through my bye week and half way through the game. The story is kind of "meh" and I find myself fighting the controller, but the game play itself is pretty fun.
I'm pretty amused by an epic battle that occurred last night. I'd hacked a security camera and a couple of security bots and used their help in defending a Little Sister while she gathered ADAM. When she finished, I dropped her off at the Vent in the same area. Then I heard a Big Sister screech. Gracious, does that sound chill my blood. A Big Daddy and Little Sister pair wandered into the hacked camera's area as the Big Sister arrived. I used the Big Daddy as a shield, the Big Sister hit him, and he retaliated against her, thus "helping" me defeat the Big Sister (with the assistance of my hacked bots and the other bots the camera called in). Quickest Big Sister take-down ever.
I've discovered a downside to the intense gaming I'm doing this week (aside from the cramped hands from clutching the controller so tightly, natch): in my dreams, objects glow and/or flash like interactive game elements do. It's a little disconcerting. Also, I find myself really wanting to play a Zelda game.
