    You broke my heart with Bioshock 1 Ken. YOU BROKE MY HEART!!

    It was meant to be the ultimate FPS-RPG and it succeeded in doing neither particularly well.

    I know it was you Ken..... I know it was you. But I'll give you once more chance, and you better not fuck up. 

    P.S. I liked Bioshock 2...

    I fully expected to see a load of people crying when I opened this video up and wondered what would happen with the 'tears'

    I forgot GB mentioned the tears and that seemed pretty interesting use of choice and creating cover but also a way to access time and place itself.

    It reminds me of Orihime's power in Bleach. The whole denial of reality concept. Different in how its implemented- but a similar character trait. 
    Or it may just be that she wants to heal the horse.

    Giant Bomb's video player saves my birthdate, so I don't have to enter it for every age check. 
     
    Also, I can play the video full screen on my second monitor, and it won't disable full screen when I do stuff in other windows.

    Accidentally put in wrong year, got "You're too young to watch this video. Go to church instead." I love GB.

    That said, I am so so so psyched for Bioshock Infinite. SO PSYCHED.

    Aw Ken, really? Smugly dismissing the far superior sequel which took your heavy handed universe in an interesting exploration of parenting with a quick "original bioshock" quip? What a shame.

    Truly, the ability to control a terrible "ghosting" story device overused since System Shock 2 demands our immediate attention and a game of the show award. WHAT WILL YOU CHOOSE PLAYER? Antlions, a care package or a Gears of War wall?! The options truly are limitless in this fantastical land we must call "Game of E3 2011". Keep name dropping more scientists alongside your terrible one-note characters, Ken, I heard it gives insta-cred with folks who haven't cracked a book recently.

    I can't wait for a hack game dev to come in to the podcast one day and say how much his relationship to big-breast token girl changed his views on love and marriage. Hrm, yase, then we too can enjoy a magical trip through their own misogynistic worldviews and the clucking of neckbeard tongues that agree. Hell, he's already echoing the shallow South Park perspective of "the truth is somewhere down the middle~~~" with an awful attempt to capture USA's resurgence of 1920s xenophobia.

    Here's a simple challenge Irrational: Try telling a story without the ghosts, audiologs or cutscenes. I seriously doubt you have the chops for it anymore. In your defense, you're making a colorful universe that I can't wait to see the 2k devhouses make a real game out of.

    I find it embarrassing that people think they know what the developers actually know about the subject. Or embarrassing that people are making that judgment based on a couple minute video.

    I don't think accuracy is what they are going for, duder. I know that punching holes in other realities would more likely produce a crossing the streams (Ghost Busters reference) effect than anything helpful. I think it to be more sci fi than sticking to scientific doctorate. If I can buy into a dude getting shot, than recovering in a few seconds, the inaccuracy of depicted inter dimensional crossing does not seem as far of a logical leap of faith.
