Talk:Vending Machines

From BioShock Wiki

invented ammo is the third row of ammo when you hit the Shift key

having never played the PC version, what is this in terms of the xbox version? --UberFuzzy 11:43, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

For the love of Andrew Ryan, shift triggers the weapon selection screen. Shaur M. S. Grizlin 18:39, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

i still dont understand what that means, i've never seen it on pc. on 360, there is no selection screen, all 3 ammos are displayed always, and you just push the dpad up/left/down to select the ammo you want to use and it immediately starts loading that ammo.

Sorry, I was off playing other games... Can somebody who has played both PC and Xbox version help us out here? I have only played the PC version. In the meantime - and this will take all the pressure off - I'll make a listing of the "three Shift lines", as seen on the PC. - MikeTheRed 02:44, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

on 360, all the inventable ammo is on the "down" of the dpad --Uberfuzzy 16:30, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] items

how are vending machines items? --Uberfuzzy 09:43, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

Well, they need some kind of sensible category, plus they dispense items. Edit: aha, added more sensible cats. Kirkburn (talk) 17:37, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

I'm back from other games; good to see some activity on topics of interest to me...

The overall Main Page category here (Player Info) has never made particular sense, but then, parsing hugely overlapping things into specifics never does make sense. And still we have to try.

I could live with Vending Machines being a subcategory under Items. But if we do that, I have to protest that whomever made Items never looked at my info, which lists, at the very least, the 21 items in VMs, nevermind the weapons and plasmids and tonics lying around. I don't want to come down on anybody but I don't know what "Items" is showing (everything BUT weapons, ammo, plasmids and tonics? Or is it meant to mean, "let's list everything the player can ever pick up or get, but I haven't gotten around to everything yet?" both are valid answers, but as it is now, it doesn't work for VMs being under it.)

Kirkburn, are you the main op here? Lots of places can use a little leadership, even if it's a group effort. I try to drop in info and let others worry about organization. But then it leads to questions like this. There is the old Chinese curse, "may you live in interesting times". A new-born wiki on a great game, is an interesting time, as it grows from the vaguest of outlines to something you can smell an inch away.
