    Really wish I could play Bioshock and Bioshock Infinite again for the first time.

      All you need is an ice pick and a steady hand.

      Me too. I guess playing Bioshock 2 for the first time is an option that’s still open to me…

        Bioshock 2 gets a lot of hate for no good reason. The story is less ambitious than 1 & infinite, but they nailed the atmosphere and gameplay.

          I just remember not being interested in it at the time because they said you play as a big daddy, and the part in Bioshock 1 where you escort a little sister is arguably the worst part of the game.

            They got round that a bit by having the player be a sort of prototype Big Daddy, who was more agile and human like. You still had to fight other Big Daddies to get Adam, but they added a new option to temporarily “adopt” their Little Sister as well as harvest or rescue them.

            I haven’t played 2 in a while but from what I remember the gameplay was fairly fun, especially with the drill weapon.

        I personally really enjoyed the story in Bioshock 2. You should give it a shot!

    I wonder if medicine packaged like this would be statistically more effective. The placebo effect is a real thing, and adding a layer of ceremony to the medical process might trigger it in those of a certain mindset. (or have them decry modern medicine as demonic, though that’s hardly new)

    Also, I really want my medicine to come in health potion vials. Please?

      Hell I might just get/make some for the express purpose of making the process more enjoyable. My current plan is to get some potion-esque bottles that seal well to put homemade soda into

    Don’t let the fancy bottles trick you into ignoring the potential side effects though, you don’t want to get too spliced up.

    If you are American you already pay extra.

      Honestly, that’s the worst part, right? The anti-capitalist game showed capitalism actually competing for my money with kick ass packaging and reality is disappointing.

    You’re damn right you’d pay extra. Charging an arm and a leg might be literal.

    Kind of how it feels stocking up on assorted beverages as a non-drinker. The booze section is full of cool bottles, crazy labels and just fun and interesting presentation. The pop section is mostly just plastic that was designed to be as cheap as humanly possible.
