No posts in this thread since the end of April? Seriously people? What is going on here? The playoffs are on!
We should all be boycotting the NHL anyway because of their dumb lockout. That combined with the Sharks trading for Raffi Torres had me hang up my NHL interest for this season.
Finished this weekend and loved the game. I thought that it had more content for an expansion than most "full" games. Can't wait to see the Protoss version now. The thing I liked the most had to be the F2 for whole army button. I hated having to always micro manage my armies and add them to control groups. I would much rather just lump them all together and pew pew. It's even made me go back and play some WoL with a fresh perspective.
I have seen people call her "heavy". I am sorry, but if that is heavy then I don't want to know your definition of well proportioned.
Well, to be fair her body weight has fluctuated a bit. There are some pretty unflattering photos of her out there, although I believe they are a bit dated.

more on the post-credits bit
Spoiler for Hiden:
after reading this and watching a youtube vid on it, I think the ending is a lot more uplifting than either or. basically, the theory is that since Elizabeth kills Booker before he becomes Comstock, therefore erasing every thing that Comstock or the alternate Bookers did. it also erases Elizabeth as in every universe she exists in at that point in her life is a product of Comstock's doing. with that loop closed, no one is there to trade Booker for Anna and in the end, while you don't hear Anna crying, only her music box, she's lying there in the crib and Booker goes on to be a better father and doesn't fall into the heavy drinking and gambling lifestyle. (hopefully)
Spoiler for Hiden:
Why didn't the main Elizabeth wink out of existence when the others did? All the others disappeared except for her and it has gotten me confused, because if Comstock is no more, Elizabeth should also be no more since Comstock never gets Anna and makes her become Elizabeth.
Spoiler for Hiden:
That last "wink" is when it fades to black though so you don't really know if she did continue to exist or did not. I think it could very well be interpreted that the fade to black means none of this came to pass and once he died they all vanished.
[Update] Following the uproar over the supposed banning of Saga #12, comic publishing app Comixology has stepped forward to take the blame. In a letter published by Kotaku, Comixology stated that it had preemptively held back publication of Saga #12 in anticipation that the issue's graphic content would be in violation of Apple's App Store rules.
"Given this, it should be clear that Apple did not reject Saga #12," Comixology's letter states. The issue will be available for purchase in the app in the near future.
One other small touch that I just remembered and wanted to mention.
Spoiler for Hiden:
Throughout the game, you come across Kinetoscopes that are beautiful set shot images captured by a photographer (the name is mentioned, but escapes me right now). There were a number of these sort of shots: hummingbirds, pedestrians in the plaza, flowers, buildings, etc. No subtitles, no music, just video capturing about 30 seconds of life in Columbia.
In one of the final areas, you come across one that is a beautiful shot of Battleship Falls. The camera pans across the waterfall and shows the buildings...then you can tell the operator slowly climbs over the railing and jumps to his death, filming the whole time. Once it hits, an RIP for the photographer flashes across the screen.
It's made me wonder about the backstory involved there. This man who was so intent on shooting simple, beautiful, peaceful, serene shots of Columbia suddenly decides to commit suicide and record it on the way down. It's a very small piece of the overall game, but really gave me a nasty jolt when I watched it.
about that bit:
Spoiler for Hiden:
I thought it was supposed to be humorous, like the photographer was so intent on getting the best image he didn't pay attention to what he was doing and ended up falling.
Interesting...I hadn't really considered that. Guess I was just so tied up in the bleak story that it came across differently to me.
I had the same impression that CeeKay did with that one.

Biggest disappointment: Bioshock Infinite
Care to elaborate?
I was really looking forward to this after loving Bio 1 and 2. After the initial wow of the visuals and story, I felt that the combat was really boring and repetitive. I guess in Bio 1/2 I used the same plasmids, but for whatever reason I just couldn't find anything I liked in this one. I felt like the baddies were always sniping me from every angle and I had to run and hide a lot to regen my shield. Like someone mentioned in the other thread, I felt like I had to play to see what happened, instead of wanting to play. I finally just turned the diff down to easy so I could finish the story. The game just didn't click with me and since my prerelease expectations and the early reviews were off the charts, I consider this to be my biggest disappointment so far this year.
