I think I need to hype myself more without spoiling anything. Hrm. Ughhhh.
I want a skyhook so badly but I shouldn't be spending money on stuff like that right now.

Hold out for either the Columbia statue or the Motorozed Patriot. They're a little more practical to my mind.
Still haven't played this game.
LOL. Im an adult working 50+ hours a week. It happens.

Agh thought shipping was free on those I would get the Elizabeth one.
It's still the cheapest one on ebay though.

Right? And that costs more than the SkyHook.

Depending on how the game goes, maybe you won't even want one :-O

Hey, they really designed the Elizabeth one very similar to the actress who plays her!
Well, not so much in this photo, but I know what I mean after all their interviews and all.
Also, Andrew, we don't care about your wallet, just give us your CC number and expiration date. We'll just use it to purchase things until you can't purchase anything from it to feed your obsession. Bwahaha. Kidding.

Hahaha. I REALLY gotta get my user name changed. Thanks for using the acceptable alternative, sir!
HOORAY.
You're probably going to go with "yes."

Haha, yeah. I work around 45ish hours a week, for 10 bucks an hour. Hopefully at my main job I'll get a raise soon, once I finish the trainingish period. I just have a pretty decent amount of credit card/student loan debt, so yeah. Whomp whomppppp. I look forward to the day when I can splurge on stuff like that.

Spoilers or what?
Location Spoilers, it seems. It's vague, but I feel I didn't need to know that.
Some amusing gameplay trophies though.

Phew. I thought it was along the line of "Plot Twist: You have discovered the plot twist, which explains why..."
Oh no, haha. Just seems to be chapters/locations. Something I still wouldn't look at and read.

I'm so excited in how they'll connect Infinite with BS1 and BS2.
Or if at all.

I don't know why so many people are interested in Elisabeth. The Bioshock games have by far the worst looking humans, and especially human faces, of any games this gen.
It's not her face we're excited about.
It's her amazing looking
personality and AI routines.
Bethesda and Bioware would like to have a word...

i agree. bothered me also in Bio1. is it intentional? "bad art"? random npcs seems to be ok but Liz`s face and her overacting gestures always put me a bit off. maybe it will grow on me while playing.
I think she has to have a certain amount of melodrama in her body language to convey emotion across a room.
Besides, I find her endearing, the latest version of her especially.

yeah, i understand that. and after watching that IGN A.I. video i have to admit some of her (body-)animations are really great.
but still, sometimes she comes across like a robotronic doll as did the little sisters in Bioshock.
Please excuse my ignorance, but I'm on a media blackout and have only seen the E3 2011 trailer and one combat segment (VGA/Combat Interview on IGN) The sky is significantly orange there. Will there be a permanent change somewhere midgame, or do we keep switching from sweet blue sky to aggressive orange combat sky?
Edit: About Elizabeth; I'm honestly interested in her AI routine and if they managed to make an AI character that makes me say wow during the game. AI is severely underrated in games and it is really something we should start pushing more. 90% of all game AI/baddies are mindless drones that attack, take cover, attack, take cover.

It will be fascinating to compare Elizabeth with Ellie from The Last of Us, both characters have so much in common. Both were designed to take the AI companion to the next level and the way they assist the player during gameplay is also similar.
Even from a story perspective they have a lot in common. Both were confined and get to see the outside world for the first time. The basic plot consists of the player having to escort these characters from point A to B.
The way they react to the world and the player character's actions was one of the main concerns for the writers in both cases.
It seem like both developers had to face the same challenges both from a technical and writing perspective. Comparing the results will be very interesting.

That girl is awesome. She actually wanted Ken and Troy to make her cry so she could deliver a better performance. And then, she wanted to do it freaking again. This is gonna be great!
Lol yup
If you want, I just published the full BAFTA Q&A that Ken did this past Monday. It's about about 105 minutes long, and is mainly about Elizabeth and the process behind creating AI companions.
Note, there may be some slight spoilers, so if you're on blackout, you may want to skip it. The second half of the video is a Q&A as well with the audience.
