    New Bioshock Plasmids

    evesgarden.jpgWord of new plasmids has been slumming around the tube since someone with far too much time on the hands combed through the source code of Bioshock looking for...something, we're not sure what. Regardless, today the light of new plasmids and gene tonics dawns to warm our world weary shoulders.

    The new plasmids and tonics are Sonic Boom which allows you hurl objects and creatures back with a blast of force, EVE saver which enables plasmids to use less EVE, Vending Expert which reduces prices in the vending machines, and Machine Buster which increases the amount of damage players deal to cameras, bots and turrets. In addition to new plasmids and tonics a new achievement by the name of "Brass Balls" has been added to Bioshock. In order to collect the achievement players need to complete the game on hard without using a Vita-Chamber once, good luck with that.

    Last but not least, today's Bioshock update fixes the widescreen issues reported by many whinerbabies gamers, granting a wider horizontal field of vision, as well as additional enhancements to the game.

    I CAN HAZ NU PLASMIDS?!

    plasmid.jpgRumors abound on these here tubular methods of electronic conveyance, as they are wont to do. Rumors regarding a possible expansion on the available plasmids in Bioshock.

Just why someone would choose to do such a thing is simply beyond me, although the reasoning behind it may lie in the discovery. Sir and/or Madam, you will go down in the annals of time as a hero among "FIRST!" posters.

    Just what are these new plasmids and how will we get them? Pound that little jump to find out.
