Hi, welcome to BioShock Wiki! Thanks for your edit to the BioShock 2 page.

Please leave a message on my talk page if I can help with anything! -- MtaÄ (Talk) 11:31, 30 July 2009

Correspondence
Nice signature! That is very cool. ~Gardimuer { ʈalk } 02:52, November 30, 2009 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately, I do not have Windows Live Messenger, but you can talk to me on the BioShock Wiki:IRC Channel. I am on right now, if you want to chat. ~Gardimuer { ʈalk } 04:11, November 30, 2009 (UTC)
 * I just looked at the BioShock Multiplayer article again- sorry about the broken links; I should have checked those more carefully. Thank you for fixing it. ~Gardimuer { ʈalk } 06:07, November 30, 2009 (UTC)


 * I like all the tinkering you are doing on your page. I should learn how to do such things. :D ~Gardimuer { ʈalk } 04:13, December 1, 2009 (UTC)

Text Superimpose
Minor suggestion: For the Text superimpose template on your userpage, the way it is now the text will show at a different place on the screen depending on how wide the viewer's internet browser is. You can make it look the same for all users by putting the the template inside of a table, like I did for the userboxes.

For example: (remove this whenever you are tired of seeing it)

This way it should look the same for everyone.

By the way, is there any way I could send you a private message? ~Gardimuer { ʈalk } 07:03, December 2, 2009 (UTC)

Splicers Unite!
Congratulations on attending the event!

Stigma and I decided that pages which are news (like the "Splicers Unite!" page) should be named with a "BioShock Wiki:News/" prefix. I went ahead and moved it, so if you want to add more to the page you can find it there. ~Gardimuer <font color=#33CC66>{ ʈalk } 07:13, December 6, 2009 (UTC)

My Userpage
Hey, I appreciate you wanting to spruce up my page, but please ask next time (its good Wikiquette). In this instance, I liked the old look better. Thanks anyway... EDlTOR 22:24, December 13, 2009 (UTC)

What is your screen res? Mine is 1440x900 and the page is looking fine to me. I didn't consider the way it would look for others... I should look into this... Thanks for letting me know. EDlTOR 22:42, December 13, 2009 (UTC)

The reason I don't have the whole globe as a link, is because the little gold dot is right over where Rapture is located. It seemed to fit. EDlTOR 07:21, December 14, 2009 (UTC)

Reminder
Thanks for the heads up. ;) ~<font style="font-size:105%" color=#006622>Gardimuer <font color=#33CC66>{ ʈalk } 02:46, December 16, 2009 (UTC)

Question
I looked on the help wiki, but couldn't find anything on image sprites. Is it possible to use them on a wikia site? If so, can you animate them from within a page, or do you have to set it from the .css?

IRC
Sorry I missed your message. Did you need something?

BlueIsSupreme 23:19, December 18, 2009 (UTC)

Power to the People - Bioshock 2
Thanks for adjusting that part of the page. I didn't know how. I was hoping someone would adjust it.

Games Template Icon
That is really cool! Could you make it a little shorter? Like, maybe instead of having the "multiplayer related" piece on top, just have those words across the bottom part of the "2"? ~<font style="font-size:105%" color=#006622>Gardimuer <font color=#33CC66>{ ʈalk } 18:34, December 19, 2009 (UTC)
 * Here's my ultimatum: It has to be legible at a height of 35 pixels. That is the tallest it can be. ~<font style="font-size:105%" color=#006622>Gardimuer <font color=#33CC66>{ ʈalk } 19:05, December 19, 2009 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the little sisters icon! It looks excellent. Here is a possible icon for the challenge rooms DLC:

Looks fine to me. Goes well with the other icons, and you can easily see what it is for.

BlueIsSupreme 00:33, December 23, 2009 (UTC)

Template:Little Sisters
Here is what I did with the icon you made me: Fort Frolic

Let me know what you think. ~<font style="font-size:105%" color=#006622>Gardimuer <font color=#33CC66>{ ʈalk } 09:56, December 20, 2009 (UTC)


 * For making a text superimpose: don't worry about matching the font I used for the "?" As long as it turns out looking good it doesn't matter what font you use.
 * For the Something in the Sea icon... I'm not sure how I feel about it. Ask BlueIsSupreme, Epstein CoR, and MeLovGamng what they think about switching icons. ~<font style="font-size:105%" color=#006622>Gardimuer <font color=#33CC66>{ ʈalk } 20:37, December 22, 2009 (UTC)

Atlantic Express
There's this video which, although interrupted at certain points, doesn't show any intermediate level between Adonis and the Atlantic Express. There's also a series of videos (in French) that can be found here where the announcers show the three first levels in the game. The levels in question are Adonis, Atlantic Express Station and Ryan Amusements, in that order, but there isn't anything between the first two.

Also, I'm curious, which vid did you base yourself on? I'd like to see it. Perhaps it could give me something new. --Willbachbakal 19:01, January 2, 2010 (UTC)

Alright then, I'll ask Mike for the vid. In that playthrough of yours, are there any interruptions, or is it one straight playthrough with loading screens to the levels? --Willbachbakal 20:34, January 2, 2010 (UTC)

So what you're saying is, there's a loading screen to a level that's between ALR and Atlantic Express? If so, did you manage to find the title to the level? --Willbachbakal 22:33, January 2, 2010 (UTC)

The playthrough can be found here. It's the video at the bottom right. --Willbachbakal 11:48, January 3, 2010 (UTC)

It's that video, the five minutes of Adonis. As you can see, after the Big Sister floods the room in Adonis and Delta goes through the water for a bit, he ends up in an airlock which doubles up as the bulkhead to the Atlantic Express. There isn't any room for another level in between the two. --Willbachbakal 11:59, January 3, 2010 (UTC)

Well, I don't soeak a word of Polish, but from what I've seen in the videos, Tenenbaum's in the Atlantic Express station at the ticket booth, which might explain your quote. --Willbachbakal 12:46, January 3, 2010 (UTC)

Oh right, now I understand you. Yes, Atlantic Express is the tunnel bit, but it's also the station and the passageways leading to it. Okay, I guess we solved the misunderstanding. --Willbachbakal 12:54, January 3, 2010 (UTC)

Alright, so what you're saying here is that the tunnels leading to the iced door and Ryan Amusements are a separate level. Seems rather probable, although that would make it the third level and Atlantic Express would remain the second. --Willbachbakal 13:09, January 3, 2010 (UTC)

Well, from what I've seen, Adonis introduces you to all the basics, and in the Atlantic Express you get into the game proper. So you meet up with Tenenbaum who teels you to help her, get to the train to go to Fontaine HQ, etc. The Train Tunnels, if it's separate from the Atlantic Express, would only be a minor sub-level, like the Smuggler's Hideout. Besides, B2's much more direct than B1. I mean, you start out with a weapon and meet a Big Sister in the first five minutes. --Willbachbakal 13:16, January 3, 2010 (UTC)

Countdown
The script you got for the countdown works... but It won't fit into the neon sign. You said you got it to display in Andes font? For me it just displays in the regular text font of the wiki. If possible, could you modify the script so I can adjust the font and text size on a page? ~<font style="font-size:105%" color=#006622>Gardimuer <font color=#33CC66>{ ʈalk } 20:50, January 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * Ok, here's the deal: The text will only display in Andes font if a person has the Andes font package installed on their computer. So... most people will not be able to see it as Andes. We will have to stick with a font that people have automatically on their computers, such as Impact. Aside from that... I mostly like it, except it is hard to keep the text looking nicely centered, since the width of the line keeps changing as the numbers decrease. Do you have any ideas for how to fix that?
 * I created a version on my testpage. I changed your script just a little so that I could use whatever words I want around the numbers. If you want to see it the way I have it, you will have to copy what is in my User:Gardimuer/monaco.js and put it in yours. ~<font style="font-size:105%" color=#006622>Gardimuer <font color=#33CC66>{ ʈalk } 22:17, January 4, 2010 (UTC)


 * The countdown script is now in place. If you would, please look over the script in the MediaWiki:Common.js and tell me if you see any problems. Thank you so much for looking up this script and personalizing it for the wiki. ~<font style="font-size:105%" color=#006622>Gardimuer <font color=#33CC66>{ ʈalk } 07:39, January 11, 2010 (UTC)

Hahah. It's not as if I have a trademark on that format... It's nice to see you like the idea though. ; ) ~<font style="font-size:105%" color=#006622>Gardimuer <font color=#33CC66>{ ʈalk } 20:48, January 9, 2010 (UTC)

Unused Files
Do me a favor. Will you look at the unused files and see what you can use or link that is of value? Thanks.

BlueIsSupreme 03:41, January 14, 2010 (UTC)

You can stream the audio ad???? Hmmm... I can't seem to. Must be because I use a mac... *Sigh* <font color=#COCOCO>EDlTʘR  <font color=#COCOCO>•taIk• 05:43, January 14, 2010 (UTC)

I asked Blue to request the OGGPlayer, but he never responded. (Maybe I should ask again...) Gardimuer is awaiting a reply for Elizabeth Tobey regarding use of the audio diary files on this wiki. I we can get both (Oh I hope we can) the result would be awesome! <font color=#COCOCO>EDlTʘR  <font color=#COCOCO>•taIk• |undefined 06:19, January 14, 2010 (UTC)

Bridgette vs. Brigid
I cannot get on the irc while at school. All "Bridgette" will be changed to "Brigid" since that is the spelling backed by 2K and since there is no proof in the game (that I know of) that her name was ever spelled Bridgette. Unless the name over her apartment door says Bridgette? ~<font style="font-size:105%" color=#006622>Gardimuer <font color=#33CC66>{ ʈalk } 21:55, January 15, 2010 (UTC)


 * EDITOR just posted a picture of evidence for BioShock=Bridgette. However, I want to point out that using the different spelling on pages from different games may seem simple at first, but then we run into problems of what to do when an article is about something that is in both games. ~<font style="font-size:105%" color=#006622>Gardimuer <font color=#33CC66>{ ʈalk } 22:57, January 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * I read Liz's post. It seemed very strait forward and clear to me. ~<font style="font-size:105%" color=#006622>Gardimuer <font color=#33CC66>{ ʈalk } 23:20, January 15, 2010 (UTC)

The Essential Rapture Survival Guide help page
hmm. i see your point, and it is a very good point, but its just that many people come to a wiki for help on such subjects, and can not find the information, and it is quite hard to track down on the web at times

OGG File
The file has been restored.

Leaked Vid
Ok... ok... ok... You can get everything else you consider important. Go for it! <font color=#COCOCO>EDlTʘR  <font color=#COCOCO>•taIk• |undefined 20:17, January 20, 2010 (UTC)

No, I do not have Photoshop. Yes I can open .psd files with the GIMP. Sure, I'd be happy to help with the images... Send them how???

Ok... I've uploaded the Hollcroft icon, the kings pawn poster and Gil's portrait. Lamb's audio diary is translated to "Ryan against Lamb: Religious Liberty" (Ryan vs. Lamb: Religious Freedom?). I don't see why we would need either of the Lamb posters (they would still be hard to read). I don't think we need a picture of the Little Eden Plaza location name. We know what it's called, so unless we can find a logo, why should we worry about a picture. Why do we need the entrance to the Fishbowl? It's kind of plain anyway. We don't need another atlantic express logo, trust me... And last, but not least, I'm working on the Limbo logo. Oh, and I have NO IDEA what Gil's audio diary translates to (something about a mechanism?). <font color=#COCOCO>EDlTʘR  <font color=#COCOCO>•taIk• |undefined 23:14, January 20, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Off-Topic
Hmmm, perhaps we should add the connection between "Rapture" and "rupture" after all...

Nah, lol. But anyway, I don't use the IRC for three reasons:

1) I tend to edit rather sporadically, so I just randomly plug into the wiki and edit a few pages then leave.

2) Whenever I want to talk to someone, I usually send them a message.

3) I don't actually know how the IRC works *looks away, slightly embarassed*.

So there you go, why I don't use the IRC. --Willbachbakal 22:21, January 20, 2010 (UTC)

P.S.: Just remembered now. what's your favorite plasmid? I'm giving everyone fave plasmids on my Cabal section and I'd like to know yours. --Willbachbakal 07:50, January 21, 2010 (UTC)

Hope so too. You could have your own personal army. Crime sim mod plz. --Willbachbakal 20:26, January 21, 2010 (UTC)

I understand, and I will see what can be done.

BlueIsSupreme 23:58, January 20, 2010 (UTC)

I almost never chat, except for IRC.

However, both she and FiveDog seem to have made an airtight case against you, marking your IP address. Just let the two days be done, so we can put it behind us. I can tell you unequivocally that no one bears you any hate or hard feelings. They just want self-control from you.

Bioshock 2 PC Specs
we need to put the PC specs for Bioshock 2 on!! I would if i knew how to, i am still learning my way around

SORRY
i did not know :( i looke up PC SPECS and it did not come up. I AM SRRY.

rosie? no... bouncer!
lol i know it being a bouncer is an unimportant detail, but i saw it and just couldnt let it go

Pistol
watch some of the Bioshock preview videos, and youll see. not teasers, though, but ones like hunting the big daddy (i think). youll find it somewere

Re: Template
Changed the Levels template following your instructions. Come to think of it, it actually looks better that way, thanks for the tip. --Willbachbakal 08:43, January 25, 2010 (UTC)

Apology
MegaScience, I want to apologize for the hard feelings that have built up between us. I have enjoyed talking to you and working with you in the past, and I don't want that to end so abruptly. I saw you comment on Willbachbakal's page about not having consideration for people with smaller/lower resolution screens, and I want you to know that I do care a lot about that. If a page looks wrong to you please let me know, because this wiki should look the best it possibly can for everyone.

In a while I will be making use of Help:Tab view on the level pages to display different level maps. Since you have tabs on your userpage, I wanted to know your opinion of a good design for how the tab's could look. If you are interested, you can find the customization in my Monaco.css.

I also found something on Wikipedia recently that might fix the issue with the level maps being too wide. They have a template which allows them to add scroll bars to the bottom of images which are too wide to fit on a screen (like panoramas.) You can find their template here: Template:Wide image

Please let me know how you feel about these ideas. ~<font style="font-size:105%" color=#006622>Gardimuer <font color=#33CC66>{ ʈalk } 09:24, January 25, 2010 (UTC)


 * The tab view thing looks nice, although I'm not sure about if they should be round or not. Seems a bit weird how they interlock with that look to them, maybe it's the inconsistent width of each bar as it adjusts to the text size.


 * Wide image should work. When I saw it, I hoped it'd also work for text, but alas, the code I ripped did not work. Template:Wide template I'm sure I jsut need to put in something of a preset width, but don't think that's logical. ~<span title="Never harmed a kitten...

 * I'm sorry. I did not mean to seem like I was ignoring you in any way.
 * I did see your reply here, but I thought you might still need some space, so I was waiting until I had finished imagemapping to talk to you again. In fact, I was just about to consult with you again about the tabview appearance when I saw your comment on my talk page. I'm not sure what you mean about me lying to you... I guess it would have been nice to have help with the imagemapping, but I didn't want to impose on you by asking for help while you were still angry with me.
 * Please, if you have something to say that you feel is too personal to leave on my talk page, you can send me a private message at my 2K forum account . I promise that I will reply promptly. ~<font style="font-size:105%" color=#006622>Gardimuer <span title="Evolve today!" style="cursor:wait">http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/bioshock/images/thumb/a/a1/Physical_Tonic.png/15px-Physical_Tonic.svg.png  <font color=#33CC66>{ ʈalk } 02:42, January 29, 2010 (UTC)

The Actual Bioshock 2 Intro
Hey MegaScience you will not believe this. One of the people on youtube posted the actual intro (not the one where you started out waking in Adonis) but the actual one. It is a big spoiler, but if you would like to see it click this link. Oh and tell all of the bioshock fans. It is so beautiful ;) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dv-Ah5zKDQQ Tyler Thomson 23:23, January 26, 2010 (UTC)MeLovGamng


 * That is such a dangerous video. I found it a few minutes ago too. I'm resisting every urge to watch it though. The video is, without a doubt, unofficial. I'm ebtting it gets removed by the end of Wednesday. Either way, would it be possible that the information from the video be left of the wiki for now? It's an unofficial video, and I imagine it reveals some HUGE information about the game. I know most leaked info was added to different pages, but this one is especially "leaky".Magicman4443 23:29, January 26, 2010 (UTC)


 * Well of course im not going to say anything. Just wanted you guys to know. Im just glad they added an intro. Tyler Thomson 23:35, January 26, 2010 (UTC)MeLovGamng


 * Yeah, I saw your bullet points, and while I see that there aren't any huge, unbelievable spoilers, I'm still a bit oppposed to including the information. But I guess keeping it in a collapsed box under storyline is fine. I don't think it's necessary to go anywhere else though. Putting it elsewhere could lead to a lot of people being spoiled by it. It's really hard to resist reading the actual synopsis or watching it.Magicman4443 02:02, January 27, 2010 (UTC)

Glitch!!!!
I just saw this! I was in Neptune's Bounty when you first battle Rose. She drops from the ceiling and attacks, does some backflips, and leaps to the ceiling. But a security bot was directly above her! She hit the bot as if it was the ceiling and began to throw her hooks. This was all happening while the bot was soaring around the room. It was a site to behold!

Ok, here's the image. The left side is the original, on the right I outlined Rose and the bot. Hope that makes it easier to see. And no, I wasn't playing at the highest settings.

Fontaine Futuristics
I reread the Game Informer article, and I didn't see anything about Futuristics being one of the last levels. For all we know it could be the Hephaestus of Bio2. Is it ok if I change the Bio2 page to reflect that? Rapture Reminder 06:34, February 1, 2010 (UTC)

Sorry
Sorry about messing up the numbers in the trial page. I don't know how I missed them when I was adding the new trials...--Magicman4443 04:51, February 2, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Trials
Well, I decided to split the table because, when the game gets out, there's going to be dozens upon dozens of different trials. Putting them all into one table is gonna create a monster. Not only that, but if one decided to add a new trial, he or she would have to modify every number in the order to make it fit in. I suggest we keep it as separate tables. If anyone wants to compare Trials, they just have to press the button once per section, which isn't that big. Splitting the table would also mean extra clarity, and it would be easier to see the different trials in the table. --Willbachbakal 07:47, February 3, 2010 (UTC)
