I’ve let my initial reaction to the ending simmer long enough. Time to continue talking about this game. After more meditation on the ending and speaking with some friends I’ve decided it’s still a bad. It’s not entirely Bioshock Infinite’s fault though. I had heightened expectations. There were natural handicaps to the pseudoscience. Worse the storytelling gets stretched thin in

Too awake to sleep, too tired to game.
I watched Disney’s Wreck-it Ralph. I’ve heard a lot of negative criticism about it from varying sources. Honestly, it wasn’t bad. A movie based off of video game tropes that the common consumer would get has inherent handicaps. It’s not the nerdfest gamers want it to be. It’s not Up like cinema geeks want it to be.
