…finished. Evil ending 
I went for the PC version in the end. Ran like a dream on my HD 2900 XT fully maxed out.

This one is driving me crazy. As an owner of an Xbox 360 and a PC with a DirectX 10 compatible video card I can’t decide which platform to get Bioshock on. The hype has reached such a high level this week that I just can’t wait to play it. I have already preordered the 360 version but now I’m thinking I should get the PC version instead. I like achievements and I like relaxing on the sofa but at the same time I want the best graphics possible with room for future expansion. If I can make my mind up I then need to choose between regular edition, steel case edition and bid daddy figurine edition. Ahhhh!
On no now it’s on Steam as well!
I forgot to update everyone on my progress with the BBC iPlayer. In a nutshell it is a fundamentally broken piece of software and a tragic waste of the licence fee.
In the words of Ari Gold,
Yes there was a PC based Blade Runner game released in 97. Not many people played it but I did. It was awesome and now PC Gamer have finally given it a new write up. The authenticity, the scope and the feel of the game was very unique. I always felt like I was doing real detective work rather than simply clicking on the correct pixel (or in this case voxel) to find up the next item. The branching stories and multiple endings meant that you could replay this one several times over. I did last year, and once you get over the somewhat dated graphics it still holds up as a very deep game.
Shouting “enhance” at the screen has never been so much fun.
Andy has a good write up on LocateTV here, surprisingly relevant as I attempt to use the BBC iPlayer. I couldn’t make it to the event but pretty much all you need to know is in that write up.
So I have got to ask, where’s my beta key Lottie\Andy?

Right lets try this again.
I am now sitting in front of a Windows XP box and am back to the same point as yesterday. Clicking on the download Doctor Who button. I need to download the BBC iPlayer downloader thingy apparently. Downloading….installing…done. Ok so it seems to use a download manager that sits in the tray.
Better go back AGAIN and find that download link. How may times have I clicked this fabled download button now? Click…please enter your username and password. Didn’t I just do that? Ah this is another username and password which I don’t have yet. How could I be so stupid! Registering. Name, password, date of birth, fathers middle name, etc. After about 5 attempts at different usernames it lets the most obscure one through. Ok now I can click on download surely!! Click……boom(!) its been added to the ‘delivery’ queue. Woo at last.
10 minutes pass. It’s still at 0% downloaded. Better leave it overnight this is complicated and tiring work!
Here we go with day one of my BBC iPlayer on going live blog converage.
I fired up my browser went to the iPlayer homepage and entered my username and password. Main page loads with a nice pink and black design - cool. Great lets download a show, bit of Doctor Who I’m thinking but there’s only 6 days remaining on this episode. DRM slap in the face. I click on DOWNLOAD and get a message about my browser, oh no I am in Firefox, my default browser and choice of millions of people around the world. Couldn’t possibly be supported by this site.
I reload in IE and get back to same point. I click on DOWNLOAD again. What’s that red X now!? Oh damn I am in Vista! Ugh. Forget it I’ll carry on tomorrow.
