Happy Birthday Me

[stefbug]

Happy Birthday to myself. Frozen face and all.

I'm a very happy person, and will be even more so when we have the celebrations tomorrow (Stardust and steak ftw).

I've just started Bioshock, which Kaz got for me and I'm already spooked out. I've always been a cautious little thing with fps games, and the fact that so much of it is dark is fucking scary. I had one splicer sneak up behind me and I almost went and hid behind the couch. It's cool though. I can't wait to get the bees.

Got a couple of books and some cash, so that's my posh stick paid for as well as a few other things.

Later.

Just keep a sharp eye for hidden areas. Some of them are the best. (and scariest)

Yeah, I've been exploring everywhere I can get too.

I spent the first 30 minutes literally jumping at everything and sitting on the edge of my chair. Then it crashed. Luckily I'd just saved.

Am I a wuss for waiting until the morning to play again?

And any tips for a new player?

Well, there's a part where you temporarily have to drop one plasmid to put another in. You just have two slots at the time. When that happens, keep electricity and get the new one. Also, practice with the new one using the ball-thrower. Really. It's worth doing.

Um, let's see. Hack EVERYTHING. It's always worth doing. Hacked stuff is SO VERY HELPFUL. Also, once you get the camera, research EVERYTHING! Even turrets and cameras. Even security bots. Even Little Sisters. (Especially Little Sisters) Even BOTH kinds of Big Daddies. (You'll know when you see them.) Research has a limit on how much you can do before your research on something is complete, but it takes a bit to get to. Worth getting to. VERY helpful.

Oh. And melt any ice you see, once you can. Really. Any. You can get stuff that way, make pools of water for use with electricity... Fire + people = running for the water + electricity = death, PS. Very fun to do. But yeah, you will be quite startled how much you can do with telekinesis and fire and electricity. I got into a secret area with telekinesis once. Key on wall. Heh.

You can even pull the masks off an opponent's face and beat them with it, I swear.

...don't ask how I know this, but you can also accidentally pick up a Little Sister with it and beat a Big Daddy with her.

(I felt SO VERY WRONG for managing to find that out.)

Crud, I've been so wrapped up in other things, and I promised I would post when this date came up in my LJ notifies. *smacks self*

Happy-Belated Birthday, Stef! *hugs from across the pond* Hope you and Kaz had a wonderful time celebrating it!
