Yes. I’m just wondering by what means you get one rather than the other.

‘Kill’ and ‘Harvest’ looks like different takes of the same ending to me. Is that what you meant?

I was just looking through the video files in that folder, and it turns out there are three endings.

Huh.

Perhaps the people in that fateful room derived apathy from an arrogant observation of their game’s brilliance. I’ve got the silly thing working now (customer support replied after four hours) and I don’t think their attitude was “Oh well”, more like, “Oh, hell, they’ll forgive us for anything once they experience Rapture”.

This has just become an utter disgrace. When you’re planning this stuff, and you get to the part where it won’t always work, and that’ll leave legitimate players locked out, you have to have the kind of people in the room who’ll say “Damn, we can’t do it that way then.” I don’t know what room it was or who the people were, but somehow the attitude became “Oh well.”

This makes me angry.

My mind is refining pure rage. The activation failed and customer support are in no hurry to reply. FURY!

I’m waiting for the lodge that holds my mail, and my Bioshock pre-order, to open up… 90 mins to go damnit. Thanks for the warning.

I hate everyone who this doesn't happen to.

Alex – I’m not certain how well this will work from a fresh install, but in theory, right click on BioShock in your My Games list, then click “Properties” and select the Updates tab, then change it to “Never update this game” or something like that.

Altough as I say, not sure if it will work.

Deleting that movie file sounds like a job for the trusty command prompt then, rather than explorer. Do you happen to know if it can be safely deleted in the Steam copy as well (with no “I shall now re-download your entire game without asking you!” side effects)?

Hypo noise? Where?

This weekend is going to be the longest of my gaming life.

And by weekend I mean – entire time until I can afford to upgrade enough to play BioShock.

Ooh, look out for the System Shock 2 hypo noise early on. Only just spotted it.
