My Bioshock adventure part 3: When is ever a derelict hospital a good place to be?

My sneaking around in Rapture continues! This early afternoon I’d built up enough courage to give the game another go, and so boldly went where tons of people have gone before me, since the game came out in 200x: The Rapture Medical Pavilion.
Well, before going there I finished some other things, most notably dodging a Little Sister and her Big Daddy (in a cut scene, but whatever), killing a splicer on fire and taking the elevator to higher ground. A part of me is still a little sad that completing an objective gets me nothing. A level up would have been nice about now.
I’m somewhat getting the hang of moving around and aiming to kill things. However, I encountered a moving target, which caused some problems because I kept turning the wrong way, looking up when I should look down etc (sidenote - since I can’t invert the X-axis, I’ve opted not to invert Y either). I got him in the end, though. I also learned that you can’t shoot electro bolts between stair railings. Pah!
Today’s play hasn’t been too scary - I’ve even ventured into areas away from where the objective arrow pointed me, just to check out what was there! Other achievements of today include using a weapon other than the wrench, hacking a Security Bot, and not dying. Yay!
All in all great progress has been made today. 1 - I made it to a new place, the Medical Pavilion, 2 - didn’t die, and 3 - I only stopped playing because the game crashed, not because I was too scared to go on. The game crash is somewhat disconcerting, as it is the second time this has happened. Hopefully the disc just needs some cleaning - I would hate to have to abandon my new project because of a broken game disc (or worse, a broken Xbox! (although to be honest, I’d like to get a new one of the new generation that are smaller and less noisy (but I’d rather not have to spend that money until I have to))).
Also, no whales spotted. They might be hiding to pop out at me when I least expect it, though - just like everything else in this game.
