I don't get senior release because they fucked up my schedule by putting me in classes I've already earned credits for.

Ugh, now I have to get them to change it and all that fun crap.

I think that they're two completely different games that are both going to be (are presently, in the case is Bioshock) amazing in their own respects. Bioshock has too many RPG elements to be even compared with Halo 3. This is coming from someone who hasn't played either BioShock, or the Halo 3 Beta, so if I don't know what I'm talking about, I won't be surprised.
People do this with every anticipated game released... "ZOMgz halo killur!". What's ridiculous is, no one outside of Bungie has played the full version of Halo 3 all the way through, so really, you can't compare any game to Halo 3 just yet...
I still say Bioshock at least could bludgeon Halo 3. It

Two games can never be just two games. They must always be a "killer" of another. Clearly. That's perfect logic. There can't be two good games. No. It must be a competition.

Just stop referring to games as [blank]-killer. If you have to compare it, you make it seem as though you have something to prove, by defeating another game. It really speaks more about the other than the one you're promoting. You become your own opposition. You're starting a battle with yourself, and losing it.

My rant is people who try to push BioShock as some grand innovative FPS with no flaws at all. I don't like the fucking game, just get over it. Scores mean absolutely nothing, I think it's an awful game with no special qualities.

You don't hack soda machines the vending machines in the game contain ammo, supplies for inventing, healthpacks, and food. And there are some vending machines that just sell ammo, which is usually useful to hack.

Regardless of whether or not Bioshock is a great game, it's hardly anything new or revolutionary.

I'm sorry Tural, but I have never seen INSANEdrive ever make a comparison like the kind you have thought up.

For several weeks, his signature had a link to BioShock, with text specifically saying "Halo killer."

I've never heard of that, I gotta try that out sometime. Thanks for the info.

My rant, I got a haircut yesterday and a lot of girls are telling me they liked it better longer, while other girls are like I like it now. I'm sorta in a bind, but I like it the way it is now, I don't like my hair long mainly because I played football, but I quit because there were only 20 something people on the team, and you need like 22 people.

You only had 20 people on the team? Our school has almost 50, so we have almost all the team on the bench. (No, I do not play football, I've just seen a lot of people on the bench at one time.)
