Nebakenezzer posted:Bioshock Infinite starts and you think this game could go anywhere, but as the game progresses it gets dumber and dumber, squandering everything the game does right to progress its incoherent story I never really saw the Vox storyline as " Both oppression and revolutions are equally as bad if you actually think about it" , but more as Booker is an inherently destructive person who corrupts and destroys anything he touches. The Vox don't really do any of the hosed up poo poo until the timelines merge/change/whatever the gently caress happened and they end up in a timeline where Booker was at the head of the Revolution with Daisy. He was responsible for filling the Vox ethos with hate and vengeance, the same way he created the horrible oppression in Columbia. At least this is what I think the designers were trying to go for, like 75% of the game it was horribly mismanaged and they dropped the ball pretty hard. I totally understand why people would think they boiled it down to " the wise man bowed his head solemnly and spoke: "theres actually zero difference between good & bad things. you imbecile. you loving moron" though, they did a really poor job of getting their point across. The making of Infinite seems like a pretty interesting story, it seems like Levine was huffing his own farts for years about how revolutionary Bioshock was and assumed he could just capture lightning in a bottle again. They cycled through several different builds with Levine changing levels they had spent years making just on a whim, changing fundamental game mechanics at the last second and falling back on " I guess they have plasmids for some reason". The worst part is how under rated Bioshock 2 is, especially Minerva's Den which I think is the best Bioshock dlc available. If you can get past the idiotic morality system you'll find Bioshock 2 is clearly the superior Bioshock.

I like 2 a bunch(both the main story and minervas den) because they are smaller more personal stories with interesting themes. plus i find lamb way more hateble then ryan. ryan is an evil gently caress who became a pathetic tyrant who starts hanging people on walls once he starts getting outplayed in the market. Lamb is awful because she could theoretically bring rapture back or at least let people get the gently caress out but instead is an rear end in a top hat who cares only about herself and wants to force her daughter to be some hivemind for no one and once she loses, she is fine with basically killing everyone. ryan and her are two sides of the same lovely coin.

Quick googling brought me to Wikipedia's 'legeslative violence' page. The UK is just above the USA: quote:31 January 1972 Americans my not be familiar, but the UK and Canada at least have this weird fetish for black rods and ceremonial maces and such. Them being used in a actual fight is basically the best thing ever, too bad the battle was never joined, I'd allow a hammer to the reds quote:15 February 1798 There was a dust-up in the 1980s but compared to murder on the floor of the house or the pre-civil war era it's pretty juvenile According to the article there have been four or five incidents in state houses since 2007.

A good-sized segment of Trump's base likes it that he doesn't use dog whistles (the rest groan and say they are "deeply concerned" when he doesn't dog whistle). These are people who will generally slam "political correctness" and like politicians who "tell it like it is", which is, a little ironically, them using dog whistles without being conscious of it.
