Anyone got any helpful hints for dealing with big daddys in bioshock?

bodyslam them (seen The Wrestler, hippo? you'd fucking love it)

how do i powerslide in Mario Kart? i haven't found the knack yet.

No pisisng bout ginwai ¬_¬

No, I have downloaded most of it via torrent, but am hoping its at the cinema locally...doesn't look like it will be though.

I dunno. I still have trouble using the steering wheel controller!

i try and turn a bit late but hit a wall. i try and turn a bit early but hit a wall. i try and turn when i normally would and i hit a wall. i'm doing something wrong.

there's a bit in the film where he has an extreme match with someone with a staple gun and barbed wire and stuff. it's brilliant.

I'd imagine thats the bit with necro butcher XD

it's a balding dude with a scraggy beard. he comes across as a right mentalist in the ring but a lovely bloke outside. they all do actually, it's really funny.

Yep that sounds like necrobutcher...if you want a good match try and find one with him V samoa joe...several moves are botched and cause necro to land on top of his head on various hard painful things.

Although painting all wrestlers as great uys is wrong...some are very nice but theres always the odd total prick.

Turn slightly earlier than normal on a powerslide, it will flip slightly when you hit the B button to face the corner so you can stay on the racing line (you can still steer slightly through the glide to make it easier to control for maximum turbo) the bullet bike has the best mini turbo after a slide of any of the vehicles I think but I also find it the hardest to time the slide with it.

Its piss easy with any of the karts.

so you don't need to wrench the wheel or countersteer?

no countersteer needed at all unless you want to drift slightly more right on a left hand turn, just do what you normally do but with the B button held... timing when you press and hold B is the key.

might have a practice at that once i've cleaned the bathroom tonight.

also when a POW alert sounds shake the wheel like you do for a trick...you will still lose any items but avoid any slow down

I love that trick.

seriously? how does that work?

also, how did Indy manage to knock off 4 of my red shells in a row? i figured maybe he dropped 3 banana skins in a row and had him for the last one but no! he did it again later.

Isn't there something about holding an item behind you but not releasing it?

you get a blue forcefield around you, you still spin but dont slow down.

no idea gin, I've lost them all in one go before though.

The ratings on GP mode go by speed, time, control and how many times you get hit by objects. Make sure you use your bananas and shells to protect you when possible to get those 3 and 2 star ranks.

yes,

bananas and shells...press and hold the left direction button..if you let go the item is dropped.

if you hold them behind you still lose the object when it's hit.

i seem to remember the tommy gun + armour piercing rounds being fairly effective.

Advice pl0x - I want to plug both an Xbox and a PS2 into the same TV so that I can use whichever without any fuss, is this possible and what hardware do I need ?

A double scart adaptor?

I guessed something like that, but wasn't sure if it was that simple THX.

Should be..just don't turn on both consoles at the same time >_<

Luckily my telly has 2 scart ports.
