04.18.11 | not entirely flawless as a game, but the sheer atmosphere and mood more than make up for it. definitely one of my favorites of all time |

What is the difference between a man and a parasite? A man builds. A parasite asks 'Where is my share?'
List is awesome by the way. |

04.18.11 | You think you have memories. A farm. A family. An airplane. A crash. And then this place. Was there really a family? Did that airplane crash, or, was it hijacked? Forced down, forced down by something less than a man, something bred to sleepwalk through life unless activated by a simple phrase, spoken by their kindly master... |

04.18.11 | Since you love Bioshock, have any of you read Atlas Shrugged ?
list is epic btw |
Electric City
04.18.11 | atlas shrugged, and so did i |
tkxxx7
04.18.11 | well, you need to. Andrew Ryan is based on the author, Ayn Rand. And Obvs Atlas and Fontaine are based on characters in the book. |

04.18.11 | apparently the setting for the next bioshock is going to be loosely based on the beliefs of the tea party. |

I don't know where you heard that, but no.
Bioshock has the same idea as Atlas Shrugged in some aspects. |

regardless, the trailer was cool. Seeing the guy splice that weird bird thing was freaky. |

Electric City
04.18.11 | I know of the connection between Atlas Shrugged and Bioshock, but the politics of Atlas Shrugged are infuriating. I love that Bioshock does little to hide the send-up |
Trebor.
04.18.11 | Bioshock Infinite is about American exceptionalism
It takes place on a floating city.
It doesn't come out until 2012. |

04.18.11 | "Atlas Shrugged was a vapid, over-blown excuse for a novel..."
Still should be read if you like Bioshock |

04.18.11 | Woah there bud keep it down. |

04.18.11 | @xenophanes did you read the book? |
GulliKyro
04.18.11 | The book is the worst thing I've read since Mein Kampf. Film looks hilariously bad though, I shall watch it and have a laugh. |
Hyperion1001
04.18.11 | I liked Anthem and The Fountianhead. |
KeithStone582
04.18.11 | @xenophanes Just wanted to make sure that you are retarded. |

04.18.11 | lol |

04.18.11 | nice |

04.18.11 | lol . I like exploring other viewpoints (provided that they don't piss me off in the process) so I don't mind the book |

I can see why you like Ayn Rand's logic."

04.18.11 | Awesome game. |

04.18.11 | While I agree that Ayn Rand's views are a little hardcore and I don't really think anyone should believe in her way of life. My appreciation for her work isn't based on me believing in her ideals. It's like reading a book written by a serial killer.
So if you didn't care for Atlas Shrugged and that's based on Ayn Rand's "insane" philosophies. Try to step back and read it as a true spectator and remove the obvious affront you have to her beliefs.
Also, a list about Bioshock (considering Bioshock is based on Atlas Shrugged) isn't the best list to come in bashing the novel that inspired the game that many of these people enjoy. |
Electric City
04.18.11 | but isn't bioshock part critique of randian philosophy? |
tkxxx7
04.18.11 | according to the developers and writers, it's questioning some parts of her beliefs but also (like in the quote you have above) stating the validity of some of her beliefs |

04.18.11 | hey Andrew Ryan the Bulldogs are fuckin shit |
vanderb0b
04.18.11 | Game is probably my favorite ever. As for Ayn Rand, I enjoyed Anthem, but couldn't make it through Atlas Shrugged. |

04.18.11 | lol, this list. |

11.23.12 | how'd I miss this thread, favorite game of all time. Such a well-written character, whoever voice-acted for him is the fucking man.
"A season for all things, a time to live, and a time to die, a time to build, and a time to destroy."
"What use is our ideology if it is not tested?"
"Breathe deep, so later you might remember the taste".
So many amazing quotes from just this one character |
