I thought I'd pass on some warm holiday cheer to all you crazy Americans on the other side of the ocean. Although the fire works in Japan are about 10 times more spectacular than what I would see in the States, it's just not the same when you are in a foreign country...
So grab that special someone, knock back a cold one, and enjoy the time off. Keep us in your thoughts and give us a little toast while we are over here in hot and sweaty Japan working to get the game out.

Bloody Americans!!
I was about to ask what the hell all y'all are doing up this late (It's Texas time here baby!) but I often forget that you're posting this from the other side of the pond. It's 2:00 in the morning here, man. I'm proud to give the first drunken iron fisted (insert preferred explicit language) kudos. Happy 4th you crazy Bionic brothers! If I'm not too busy blowing something up or setting something (someone) on fire tomm---today, I'll raise a glass and a bloody steak in your honor. Eat some sushi for me. I'm too broke to afford it. Rock on!!!!Oh and by the way
great picture.Good music for a good day
Just bought the BC:R album from iTunes and it's honestly the video game soundtrack I've ever heard and one of the best soundtracks in general. Definitely good times on a nice day off like today. So thank you for that. Might be fun to listen to while enjoying some fireworks...I'm just about to do me some public drinking
Going to get drunk brbwow great pic ben. you look either tired from blowing things up or sad cause ur not blowing things up.
dont worry im sure ur bionic brethren will down a pitcher or pint in honor of everyones hard work. and some of us crazier fans will make the explosions twice as big. and dont worry if i happen to blow my whole are arm im not gonna say i was inspired by the game cause i wanted a robotic arm. (although that would be super sweet)
Happy 4th
I'm going to go eat some burgers and hot dogs and blow off some fingers! wooh!@typhoon666 & everyone else
Hi, i shoulda put this in my last post but forgot.Typhoon666 had mentioned that it would be cool for all us postees to be able to play together when BC comes out. I think thats a great idea!
My gamertag on the 360 is Faulties. Send an invite if you want to build our BC community beyond these posts! Just include BC in the message and I'll know your not some random D-bag. I can't wait to kill you all, digitally that is...
Right back at ya dude!

thats pretty much my name everywhere on the internet, except here due to sigh up and log in issues i had a while back.
High 'n Dry
Hey friends, wouldn't the drummer from Def Leppard (Rick Allen), make a great bionic commando?It's 2:35 in the morning on the 5th
and I should NOT be psoting right now. I warned everyone that it was coming. Today I lived the American dream. I went to a bad ass barb-i-q and ate an appetizer of two whole chicken legs, followed by two shots o' Jack followed by gulf o' Mexico huge ass shrimp stuffed with jalapeno and wrapped with bacon, followed by two more shots o' Jack followed by a 12 ounce New York strip cooked rare, followed by some Rolling Rock and Jack as a chaser, and for desert had pork tenderloin in a rasberry chipotle marinade. But to the point of this wasted and over eaten post. Thanks to a couple of my "industrial" buddies at the party, we bumped the hell out of the BCR soundtrack while all this silliness was going on. The only thing more FIDDLESTICKS American I should have done was set up a poster of Master D's head and take some target practice with a 357 magnum. Cheers guys. I'm drunk and going to bed. Rock on brothers!!!Spencer for hire
Is it just me or are all of these drunken independence day posts revealing our identities as the group of rogue bionics forging a rebellion against the USA, er, FSA? If it is just me, I for one would like to have my statue decorated on the Avenue of Zeroes.Nice Picture
Nice picture Ben lol, and happy 4th weekend to everyone.What I could really use is
a bionic stomach after yesterday's debauchery. I'm 5'11 135 pound dude. Today is the worst food hangover I've ever had. We're going to have to come out with some killer bionics if I or anyone else dumb enough decides to eat that much red meat in one sitting. Sheesh! Good thing it's only once a year.Drunken swinging?
While I have to say the idea of a bionic stomach or head is right up my alley now that I am at the age where I constantly get hangovers (being in your early 20s has so many advantages in hindsight), the one thing these posts don't mention is anyone getting smashed and then playing the original Bionic Commando... Now THAT would be a real challenge.Ben
@Ben
I actually did try to play the original BC smashed just shy a week ago, and I did pretty well....that is up till about the halfway point of area 6 with all the perfect swing you have to do. That wasn't actually a pretty sight. Maybe you could make a drunk mode on rearmed. As you play, the screen is blurred and moves a bit randomly. You'd truely be a BC:R expert if you can beat area 6 on the first try in that mode.Free stuff...
... for cheap bastards like me, is awesome. so if you got any promo stuff after E3 and comicon, send it our way ben!actually one time
i actually one time did try to play the OG BC while i was drinking. i got so frustrated because i kept getting eatin by those damn giant fly traps. and if i remember correctly it ended with me throwing the controller down spouting "AWWW COME ON! WTF AM I MARIO STUCK IN BIG LAND! seriously those plants are way too f**kin big!" a good laugh was had by all.Through the panic creeping into his brain.....
Jack recognized it as a huge Venus flytrap. But Jack knew it wasn't looking for flies. It seemed to have him in mind for dinner.The plant swooped sown its sticky, lobelike leaves and scooped up his body like redmeat onto a platter. Jack remembered watching flies die in these plants when he was a kid. it hadn't looked like a nice death then. And it didn't seem much better now.
Jack thought over what he had learned about plant warfare in spy school. Zip. The bionic arm was his only hope.
Thanks you worlds of power.
Whiskey is going to be
the DEATH of me when multi player new fangled BC comes out. I've gotten used to having my ass handed to me by Halo and Darkness kids. When BCR comes out it's going to take some training. I remember those impossible swings as a kid. As an adult they will most likely slaughter me. I'm willing to tackle them with a child's mind once again and slaughter you all! Actually guys, if you can't hang with the swingers club then go start a polo team or something. I'll suck with the best of them and be proud to have kept this silliness going. I'm just glad that these games are coming back.@rapskallion
I remember those! I had the Blaster Master one. I didn't know they came out with a BC version.Mags
The Blaster Master one is good too. I especially like the hints given at the end of certain chapters, such as...."the secret tunnels are between stages 17 and 14 and stages 15 and 7." It's funny 'cuz I think that Groeder is called "the Hand" in the BC book and Nate Spencer is obviously Jack Markson. Master D is Master Destructo. Hal has a surname of Hamilton. Super Joe has a female companion named Heather that Jack is fond of. I'd rather read the comic on this site though. More pictures!randomness 1
did anyone else read a news article about wat happened in Germany at Berlins Madame Tussuad's museum. A man riped the head off of a wax Adolf Hitler statue. and it was rumored that while being arrested he was chanting "GO GO BIONIC! GO GO BIONIC!"... but thats purely speculation and i have no idea how stuff like this gets started...*/looks around*
"GO GO BIONIC!"
@wax museum antics
Yeah, I totally saw that news and of course the first thing in my head was "OMG! Spencer got his man!" but seeing as Master D is the most popular character in Bionic Commando as per the German side of the website, I figured I would hold my tongue...Although I heard that rumor as well! GO GO BIONIC!!! GO GO BIONIC!! KILL WAX HITL...
