I've hardly even played the game... I loved the demo but the game seemed to go straight on the backburner and never came off.

You are dead to me.

watching the E3 stuff for Bioshock Infinite. Personally, I still think it looks very promising. I like the idea of an unconnected continuity with similar themes (much like System Shock to Bioshock).

I'll admit I haven't caught up on all of the E3 stuff. I'm still a little surprised they're hawking it so hard when it's still a release for next year. Maybe even late next year. ?

Has anything you've seen made you think it won't feature anti-caricatured-extreme-patriotism theme? Or at least, not in a way that won't come across as condescending to actual/literal patriots?

I'm still not sure what 2K/Irrational think of Objectivism. I can't imagine making the world of Rapture the way they did if they just wanted to dismiss Objectivism as a false philosophy. I don't think people who simply dismiss it would go into so much depth (bad pun maybe intended?). But I think it's also clear they're Objectivists either. Since they handled that pretty well (I'm not an Objectivist, but I agree with them more than I don't) maybe I shouldn't be so worried about how they will handle the themes of patriotism.

However, I still think a part three to Bioshock featuring my splicer island idea would have been amazing. <snip> 2K needs to hire me.

Well, Irrational Games is hiring. I'll put in a good word for you when they hire me. ;)
