“I always believe the movies I've made are smarter than the way they are perceived by sort of mass culture and by the critics,†Snyder said, a statement he immediately followed by saying, “Also, ‘It looks like a video game.’
Ah right, sweat of his brow mate, otherwise it has completely different connotations.
And it still belongs to him.

"Oooh! I just played BioShock! Ooooh!, I just read the first chapter of Atlas Shrugged! I better make a poll to show just how clever I, and the video game I love, really are!"
I mean, come on. Really?

What is the most vicious obscenity ever perpetrated on mankind?
Slavery?
The Holocaust?
Dictatorship?
NO! It's the tool with which all wickedness is built.
Altruism.
Whenever anyone wants others to do their work, they call upon their altruism.
"Never mind your own needs," they say, "think of the needs of..."
Of...
...whoever.
Of the state.
Of the poor.
Of the army.
Of the king.
Of god.
The list goes on and on.
How many catastrophes were launched with the words "think of yourself"?
It's the "king and country" crowd who light the torch of destruction.
It is this great inversion, this ancient lie, which has chained humanity to an endless cycle of guilt and failure.
My journey to Rapture was my second exodus.
In 1919 I fled a country that had traded in despotism for insanity.
The Marxist Revolution simply traded one lie for another.
Instead of one man, the Tsar, owning the work of all the people, ALL the people owned the work of all of the people.
And so, I came to America, where a man could own his own work...
...where a man could benefit from the brilliance of his own mind, the strength of his own muscles, the MIGHT of his own will.
I had THOUGHT I had left the parasites of Moscow behind me.
I had THOUGHT I had left the Marxist altruists to their collective farms and their five-year plans.
But, as the German fools threw themselves on Hitler's sword for the good of the Reich, the Americans drank deeper and deeper of the bolshevik poison, spoon-fed to them by Roosevelt and his New Dealers.
And so, I asked myself, in what country was there a place for men like me?
Men who refused to say yes to the parasites and the doubters.
Men who believed that work was sacred and property rights inviolate.
And then one day the happy answer came to me, my friends: there was NO country for people like me.
And THAT was the moment I decided... to build one.
On the plus side, everyone has been talking about Bioshock for so long that I finally went to Steam and purchased it. Downloading as we speak.
That said, I'm still a little confused about this thread. Are we talking about the game (in which case it should be moved) or are we talking about political philosophy (in which case it can stay where it is)?

Completely related to BioShock, you'll see when you start playing.
Ah, we are high school boys,
the miserable high school boys.
If we were girls, we could get popular by doing anything:
rock band, jazz band,
karate, kendo, mahjong, cyborg, synchronized swimming...
On the other hand, high school boys are
useless outside battle and sports anime.
But they're recklessly trying to make a slice-of-life anime about us.
