I'm not sure if it's because I already now what happens in this game or that I'm just missing Rapture, but it doesn't hit as much as the first 2 did in the past week or even as it did the first time 10 years ago. Maybe when I reach Elizabeth it picks up but so far it's kind fo a slog. I'm not even sure I'll finish it. I should have bought Minerva's Den last week during the sale.
Anyway, I'm Booker DeWitt, I have to bring them the girl to wipe away the debt. I listened to God only knows, I took part in a racist raffle, I flipped a coin, I already slurped down three vigors like they are Coke Zero, I met the John Wilkes Booth fan club and the big man himself, Cum Sock. I've just reached Monument Island. Why? Don't know, don't care. I don't care about this world as much I did about Rapture. I miss my #1 Ayn Rand fan, Andrew Ryan, my favorite ex-nazi, Tenenbaum, the Big Daddies, the Little Shits, Fontaine, Sinclair, Lamb, Sander Cohen...

Robi randomly suggested it and I needed no further info, I was in. A little rally cross, a little stage rally.

Yet another failed burger joint.

I progressed with the career mode. Robi joined me on Discord to watch me suffer in France.

I've got through Gil's level. Spared him, though I'm not sure what face is worse. I was somewhat right about the big communal biomass theory.
Persephone dragged on for a bit too long. I believe I've got the best ending. However, I wish I could have saved Sinclair. I think Lamb survived too as an act of forgiveness by Eleanor. I'm not sure what else to say... I loved it.

I met this fella called Stanley Poole. He didn't seem quite alright. He locked himself in the train station's security booth (Classic!) and asked me to get rid of the Little Sisters in Dionysus Park. The whole place was flooded, by the way, and as I proceeded to deal with the little shits, I saw the memories of all the people whose ADAM they stole. Turns out he was a political plant by Ryan to take down Lamb by infiltrating her circle. It all ended with him flooding the whole place to shut up the inhabitants. Lamb knew this, apparently, and she served him up to me on a golden platter. I spared him, though. He's a piece of shit, I'm not playing Lamb's games.
I'm still loving the game, but I think I'm about ready to see the credits soon. I didn't delve into the new level yet, but I did see that there are 3 Little Sisters and, through a careless spoiler, I have reason to believe that this is also a full scale level. I hope after this, the game wraps up.

I pushed through the shitty Regulatory Rally event, then started a WRC Junior Sweden one. Turns out, the headlight kills the FPS. I turn them off and get a 20 FPS boost. What the fuck?!

0h 45m

A coke sale for Robi, then a drift race. We'd have played more if not for the shitty Rockstar server issues.

0h 30m

We fucked up the EAT EATEATEAT restaurant's second run after rebranding as EATEAT. It's fine though. The run might die, but the joke lives on.

A mighty fine restaurant we ran all the way to franchising today. Spaghetti with optional roasted potato or broccoli.

2h 30m

After the expected delay in the metro schedule, I hunted down Grace Holloway for the access key override. I've learned a few new moves [Drill dash: RT + B] & [Drill to deflect bullets]. I did spare Grace, however. I also killed another Big Sister, and I've acquired a camera. I like it a bit better than the BS1 camera, although I don't fully understand it yet.

I visited a fucked up brothel, and killed a crazed, ceiling crawling priest. I also killed yet another Big Sister. I'm gonna be honest, I still love this game. I was afraid it wasn't going to hold a candle to the first one, but it's really, REALLY good. I have the fire rivet gun and a chain lighting electro boom. However, it doesn't really do the chain lightning part... I'm starting to suspect that our raging communist, Sofia Lamb, is taking things a bit too literally. Am I going to encounter a big mass of people? Is that her plan? To literally unite everyone into one organism? I hope it's not Eleanor who's going to be the catalyst for this eldritch abomination of a Marxist misinterpretation.

Right after finishing Bioshock 1, I've decided not to waste time and get right into the second one. So far, I enjoy it. I'm a bit worried that it wears out it's welcome. I like the new perspective, the new characters, new motivation and, well, everything new and old.
I visited a carnival where I've learned a lot of libertarian bullshit.
I have 3 familiar plasmids and 4 newish tonics.
I escorted a little sister on her quest to desecrate corpses in exchange for some ADAM.
I've beaten a Big Sister. Cheating bitch, if you ask me. The first time, she's just straight up crashed my game and I had to redo 10 minutes of gameplay.
Sofia Lamb is a serviceable antagonist and, while I don't know much about this Eleanor, I'm up for an adventure to get her back.
Sinclair is certainly a guy. A guy of all time, even.
And Dr. Tenenbaum? Yeah, I'm still a simp.

More than a decade later, but I finally played through this classic. I became a big daddy, saved all the little sisters and killed Fontaine. It really is a masterpiece.

We reached level 30 or 35 in the mines. Heni won the egg hunt. We've finished the Spring Foraging bundle. We are also broke.

I finally had some time to continue. From the amazing Fort Frolic, I've ventured forth towards Andrew Ryan's office. I had no choice but to be sidetracked into building an EMP bomb in Hephaestus. I did all that, then I ended up face to face with the man himself. The with many words, few of them nice. The man with the choices, unlike a slave. The man with the golf club lodged in his head as he kindly asked. Yeah, so I knew that the "Would you kindly" phrase is important. I had vague recollections of seeing this exact scene and despite all that, I felt the gravity of the scene. I also knew that Atlas is not the friend he claims to be, but I lacked enough information to not feel spoiled when all this chain of crazy twists unfolded. Anyway, Andrew's dead, his genetic key or whatever is transferred to Atlas? Or just deleted? I don't know. Atlas is Fontaine, Andrew's rival, or something. I gave him the keys to the palace. Now, I have been saved by Tenenbaum and the little sisters I've saved. And I DID save all the little shits, so this is the least this bunch of freaks owe me. I'm not gonna lie, as the veil dropped, the twist unfolded, I'm a bit less driven to continue the game. I obviously will, but I hope it wraps up quick now.

These Arcade maps are more enjoyable than most of the base game.

I began the Colin McRae thing. Mini was fun. Cosworth not so much...

We couldn't keep up with the burger demand.

The EAT EATEATEAT restaurant had s great run. We started out as a toast based venue and it payed off. We even franchised it.

For the 7th birthday of RTC, we celebrated with a few rounds of this.

Fort Frolic is over. Holy shit, it's definitely the high point so far. The increased difficulty was a good choice, it seems. I'm thinking more about my actions a lot more. I'm more cautions. The only thing that's annoying is the penny-pinching I have to do. Anyway, Fort Frolic. Damn... I don't even know what to say. For the record, I'd like to say that I did become the ultimate disciple. Meaning, I killed Sanders.

0h 30m

I bought the Quattro. Kinda regretted it, but I'm closer to the rally car collection.

1h 0m

I started the career mode in WRC Junior. So far, it's been fun. At least until I started a thing where I was penalized for going fast? What?
