Just realize both games are full of weapons, so the "survival" aspect of the game might not be too strong on normal modes. Both are amazing games, though.

1. How do I get the arrow to appear above me telling me where to go in BioShock? I bought the game used and I don't have the manuel.

2. If I were to play RE 5 without playing previous ones, would I be complete lost in the storyline?

1. You don't do anything it just happens. When you get instructions to go somewhere it should just appear.
2. No. They made the story ALMOST self-contained. It does help a *little* to know the story.

Such as [spoiler] Chris' background, the Jill Valentine part of the story or who the hell Wesker is ... [/spoiler]

Oh and one other thing. Please don't give the security guard crap for doing his/her job. It's a JOB and they do it to pay bills; do you think they really care if some kid is taking photos?

Don't shoot the messenger ...

Like I said its the only mall around here so i'd rather still be able to visit when I need to, I didn't give the security guard any nonsense. Though It would be good if they actually made displayed their reasoning for why people aren't allowed to take photos.

I was just posting that in general. And it WOULD be logical, reasonable and NICE of them to let us know why we can't take photos, but that would be too easy.

You have Fallout 3 on your list ... :|

The term RPG is kind of too broad anyway, as it really can be applied to most games nowadays. It stands for Role-Playing Game, which obivously has origins with D&D with a strict guideline of:

action attempt - roll - success or failure - rinse, repeat

But now a lot of games take structure or ideas from traditional RPG. If you play a game that has you assume the role of a fictional character (95% of all games) who you can customize to some extent (50% of all games) and that allows you choices that will alter the story (25% of games) then you are playing an RPG. Lesser concepts like a physical char. editor, a robust merchant/currency economy, magic,lots of story via cutscenes or dialogue, and/or just a long a** game in general all stem from RPGs.

Ah ... RPG, the greatest video-game concept EVER.

P.S. Oblivion hands-down.

A shopping mall is private property. The owner can choose to set rules against photography even in the main aisle between stores, if you break a rule (i.e. spitting, disrupting, nudity, even taking a harmless photo) you can be asked to leave and if you don't you will be trespassing.

It's stupid but it's the owners right. Most "owners" are managment companies, development companies or real estate companies and they all pretty much go along with a standard corporate policy that includes taking photos.

Public places still count as being photography-friendly, though.

get a cat, they are pretty cheap to get. all u have to do is get a bowl of water, food, a box or something with kitty litter, cat food. they are pretty cheap. it cost like $15 every two months for a new bag of kitty food. iam2green

Cats suck - Boxxy rules.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't refusing a gift a faux pas?

1. Who the hell actual uses that phrase.
2. No.
3. See 1.

in this delicate situation, i would stress you dont need anything but cash. and if he sends you a topsey turvey tomatoe grower, send it back.

if that doesnt work, i would just call him and tell him everything you just said

Those things look cool. I wonder if they work. I bet some stoner has already tried growing MJ in it.

IF he did send you a Topsy Turvy Tomato Grower and you don't want it I'll take it off your hands.

Seriously though, this advice is coming from someone who also grew up without a father:

Take the s***, take it all, and if he keeps giving you stuff to win his affections or assuage his guilt, then keep taking that stuff too. If you want a real relationship with him give 50% of the effort and if he gives 50% then you know your on equal footing, but if he keeps up with the 4 min. phone calls and occasion As-Seen-On-Tv gift then just use his wallet to help you out.

And of you have morals that are telling you that taking things from him makes you feel subjected or obligated to keep up a false pretense on something as huge and fragile as father/son relationship then refusing the gift is the right thing to do.

Do whatever is in your heart, but all things being equal, try to keep the stuff!!
