And C3PX, which Game Informer cover did you get?  The one with the little boy or with the young girl on it?

Neither. I got the murder of crows cover. The one with the creepy man wearing a bowler hat, sitting on a park bench, leaning on his cane, surrounded by crows. It took me a while to realize that it was my new issue of Game Informer, rather than just some random junk mail Halloween store catalog. 

 I realize there's no one left to continue this conversation with me... so allow myself to continue it with... myself.

I finally got caught up (ish) in my Game Informer pile and read the article in that (October's) issue.  It further confirmed my fear that it will be an "anti-Americana" down on "patriotism" kind of environment.  Showing vulgarly extreme "right wing" people killing and smashing everything without a miniature American flag on it.

I guess the first game (and second, by extension) was anti-Objectivism which I am mostly for.  But I really enjoyed what I thought was a serious musing on the subject and treated it with gravity and respect.  The anti-Americanism I've seen thus far in Infinite seems to me to just be mud slinging.  Maybe I'm off base, and I will continue to track its development and anxiously wait for it to prove me wrong... but I'm not holding my breath.
