    @The_Nubster: Whoa really?That is the strangiest thing I've heard.I loved Bioshock 1 but the second was just the same formula with barely nothing new to offer.And the whole dual wielding thing was quite odd.I dunno just felt half assed which it obviously was/

    Game designers should stop pretending they understand anything about science. The Bioshock and Assassin's Creed games are just embarrassing in their attempts to sound "scientific".
    I actually wrote a term paper about how people commonly claim science fiction is about the possible and plausible when it's really not.  Science fiction is more about the creator inventing a place and set of principles that makes the impossible seem possible.

    I heard about the Jedi "thing" but I didn't expect it to come when she was trying to heal the horse. My jaw just dropped. If they keep this up, this game will be amazing.

    I just smiled continuously for about 3 minutes and 11 seconds. The other 10 seconds was a jaw on the floor from the end.

    @The_Nubster: it's odd how different people seem to view that, I personally think that the story of the original Bioshock was far superior, while the combat was a bit of a lacklustre. The second one offered far more combat, yet the story wasn't as good. To me, a game with an interesting story, has a much bigger draw than fun gameplay.

    Your right, however your example B is whats beeing talked about directly "a tear aka To make (an opening) by ripping". Even though its could be a play of both meanings

    I was just thinking, from what I saw there bringing objects through tears seems a lot less violent then I was expecting. The way the cover appears in the video there it seemed to me like it was effortless for Elizabeth to bring it into their reality.

    Which raises the question, if its that easy why not just bring in everything in, not just one object? If the objects were to flash in and violently displace other objects in their path it would convey (at least to me) that Elizabeth is not fully in control of the transition and would help explain why you can only bring in one object at a time. At the very least the new object has to displace the air that stands where its coming in. What with the whole "2 objects cannot occupy the same point in four dimensional space time" law. You know in physics.

    Or am I just over thinking this.

    My snark cup runneth over. I guess I just thought it would be more entertaining than saying "no it comes out in 2012". But considering the viciousness of human nature rampant on the internet, I understand if you thought I was making fun of you. Not my intention.
