    Here's my dissension: I thought tonight's episode was severely lacking in focus compared to the last few weeks. It's obvious that we're watching chess pieces move slowly on the board until we hit the...

    So...just did my first session working as a QA tester for a game. Today's lesson is that there is always some way to exit a map's borders.

    I wouldn't say that Infinite is using the racial issues merely as a means to introduce and explore the cosmology of the setting. I think it's much closer to the other way around and what Monty seems...

    I think any writing can be dangerous insofar as it can be done poorly, up to and even including daddy/daughter fluff. If you're asking if the game's story took a considerable risk in prioritizing...

    I think you're pretty much on the ball here. I think the game's definitely more concerned with using the Founders/Vox conflict and the destruction of Colombia as a metaphor for Booker's own self...

    I've acknowledged it. What I'm saying is there's additional assumption of responsibility at the end. Not grand but still present. Have I said it's the prime motive for what he's doing? No, what I...

    No, I'm noting that there's a direct and deliberate juxtaposition between those two conflicts. A juxtaposition which places a far greater emphasis on the political window dressing of Vox v. Founders...

    But this isn't the conclusion the game offers. Regardless of Booker's jaded outlook towards both parties.

    Even though Booker and Elizabeth have a very personal reason to want Comstock gone, a...

    Comstock is Comstock and the Founders represent, at best, a heavily distilled and extreme image of early century American Exceptionalism. But, like I pointed out, Comstock is not allegorical of an...
