Bioshock
So it turns out Bioshock, the XBox bonanza from a while back, recently came out on the PS3 (be recently I mean like Oct. or some such). I found a new copy mislabelled for about $40 and bought the shit out of it. I'm not too terribly far in yet, but it is just about as awesome as I've been promised.
There is, however, only one problem: when the game first came out, I feel like even folks without an XBox knew someone who had one and either played it a lot or watched someone else play it enough that they're really familiar with it. While I knew people, I never got around to either directly or vicariously experiencing the game. I know there's some big twist or revelation or some such somewhere where someone turns out to be someone else, but I'm foggy on the specifics (so no spoilers in the comments: especially you, Durant). So I'll be the video game equivalent of this Jim Gaffigan bit:
"You ever see a movie way after it came out?
[silly voice Guy:] Hey, I just saw Heat.
[serious Guy:] Yeah, so did I...like five years ago.
[silly voice Guy:] I...I wanna talk about it now."
So, yes....please forgive me when I'm all "holyshitwhatthefuckhowawesomewasthat?!" about a game many of you have likely known inside and out for a long, long time now.
Seriously, tho? How awesome was that?! Did you think Big Daddies were going to be able to move that fast when you saw the cover art? Shit.
