    And now begins the BioShock MMO rumors

    Any of y'all beat BioShock 2? Me neither. Played it for, eh, 20 minutes, then moved onto Napoleon: Total War. Don't worry, though: the game is on my "to do" list. Also on my "to-do" list: whinge about an MMO based on BioShock.

    With silly putty and sparkles, you can make a BioShock belt buckle

    Well look at that, a BioShock belt buckle. And, if you're handy with all sorts of machinery I've never heard of (read: TechShop), you can make your own.
