BioShock 2 : No moral decision!

Savior

Saved every Little Sister and spared Grace, Stanley and Gil. - 25G

Ok, so get the above achievement the developers want you not kill all the little sisters and some other characters within the game, if you do you lose the chance to get this achievement on the first playthrough thus there is no decision for the player, but to be good. Shame as I decided to kill everything this time and considering the quality of BioShock 2, I will probably not play it through again!

My Gaming History : What do we do with our past?

Back in about 1993, when I had my Amiga, I used it convert ZX Spectrum games into snapshot files(SNA).



This was not a simple task, it required a ZX Spectrum emulator, an old fashioned portable tape recorder, the audio leads and a few 800 kilobtye floppy disks.


1942, 1986

But, here is the question, what do we do with this kind of data? It is actually history at this point!


Feud, 1987

The website "World of Spectrum" maintains an archive, but contrary to popular believe, you technical have to own some of the games to download the files.


Virus, 1988

But, who is interested in ZX Spectrum games now? After my 8 bit generation is gone, who will care? Do I delete my files, or keep for nostalgia?

Graphic Novels : Deadpool/Thunderbolts

I have to admit to having never read a single Deadpool comic before, so I thought it was about time that I found out about the "Merc with a mouth". I got Deadpool/Thunderbolts as part of the Dark Reign Saga. Maybe it was a bad comic, but I wasn't that impressed, Deadpool is crazy enough but it wasn't what I expected. I think, I would have enjoyed a quieter anti-hero.
