From all the articles and videos I've seen, there's always this one general message I get: if you aren't an Alien or a Predator, you're somebody's bitch.

@sincbt3: I believe there's only one speaker per ear, but the headset does have an optical audio connection. I'm very pleased with the sound quality.

@Deez: I'm glad Frank O'Connor's heading 343 Industries. I know Microsoft's still going to bastardize the franchise even more when Bungie's finally completely out of the picture, but I feel a little better knowing there's at least one person still tied to it that helped it become what it is today.

@incubushead: He didn't really narrate the original novelization. He was a central character, but the novel was told from a third-person limited perspective.

@PatrickSwayze: I would shoot Grunt bodies just to see the colors meld with other blood in the area, and I loved the Hunter blood. Bungie's blood effects have always been really cool, except maybe the Halo 2 system. There wasn't enough, really.

@darkshine54: Not really. It helps with some of the stuff regarding Andrew Ryan, Fontaine, and Tenenbaum, but the first Bioshock isn't absolutely necessary to understand the sequel. There are some conventions, though, that you have to understand from the first game, like the purpose of Little Sisters, the bond Big…

@Vamplosion: I can't play Renegade in Mass Effect at all. I can make some decisions that score me some Renegade points, but it's very difficult for me to play even a quarter of the game acting like a complete dick.

@sincbt3: I'm pretty pleased with the wired X1 headset from Turtle Beach. The wireless, I've heard, are a hassle because of the infrared system and battery replacement. Several friends of mine often sound like they're eating their microphone because the power in the headset is fading. It's simply not an issue with the…

@Highbrace: I think he was taking it at the angle that people like the suspect feel compelled to utilize voice chat in such a manner. It seems like it's become commonplace to be a complete dick online and to make threats and sexually harass other users. Bringing mass murder plots into the fold equates to the "new low."

I'm going to finish BioShock 2, continue my Mass Effect 2 Insanity run, and play some late-night Modern Warfare 2 with a few friends in preparation for Gamebattles matches.

@Omnimon: Marketing gone wrong: "We want your children."

@Brinsley :): The first Haze comment. I played it a few days ago, and I couldn't stop laughing at how bad it was. The controls, the dialogue, the storyline, everything. The only fun in it was laughing at the damn thing.

@Brinsley :): Had a good laugh with that one. Oh, my sides...

@robpe36: Yeah, I need my Cliff Bleszinski fix.

@Omnimon: Sony and Microsoft: "We can fight it out all we want, but Nintendo's fucking wrecking us. ;_;"

@For_the_love_of_games: Very understandable, but when marketing gets kicked into overdrive, it'll probably be a little difficult to ride the fence. =/

@For_the_love_of_games: With as much hate as one might observe in news posts regarding the Halo franchise, looking at all the positive comments here seem to lean towards ampage.

@WildTangent01: I foresee a Noob Tube'd achievement in the near future.

@ienvy: I imagine you in a room surrounded by Mac supporters.

@InsidiousTuna: Pics of Seropian or it didn't happen. =P
