Editorial BioShock is profound, like Homer's Iliad

It's my sister's birthday so we saw Get Smart then ate at Chili's (jesus) and now they're watching Homeward Bound. My birthday is coming up (my 21st) and I'll bet it's gonna be cool, all my friends will be out of town and my parents keep making jokes about doing shots with me. :(

I had a great bowel movement earlier. One of those that makes you feel 5 lbs. lighter and refreshed. As it was passing, I think it brushed on my prostate as I felt the orgasmic rush and fluid seeped out of my (stiffening) cock. How divine.
Since I've been getting more exercise and sun lately I've noticed the consistency of my turds has improved a great deal.

You just don't understand what he really wanted to say but couldn't say directly for obvious reason. Here is the math for the people who didn't get it:

Bioshock ~= Iliad
-> Bioshock developers ~= Homer

Homer = Ancient Greek
Ancient Greeks = Men who enjoyed wrestling naked with other men, men who shaved off all their body hair and then covered their entire body with olive oil and drenched their head hair in perfume - men who made pederasty a social institution

-> Bioshock developers = flaming faggots!

QED

At this juncture the wind does slack.
The thread must sail a different tack.
From the retreading of Iliad's archaic glories,
to the basic hygiene of KC's, and T's BACK stories.

Half-Life tried to justify linearity too, but the great thing about Half-Life is that everything is implied. Bioshock just tells you what's going on, which is a major mistake in fiction of any media.

Anyway HL1 kind of hints that the G-man is blocking any alternate routes so that you have to take the linear route. A much more subtle But Thou Must, no?

How the fuck can that guy even compare retelling an ancient story with a fixed storyline that everybody knows about with playing a game, which is an inter-active story that the player can change? How retarded do you have to be to come to such an idea?

I wonder if some of those people see a higher meaning in toilets?... I can already see it:

When the artist created the toilet he wanted to tell the story of life. In the toilet we have water which symbolises life itself and events that happen in the toilet are events that happen in our every day life. The artist of this remerkable work wanted to remind us how we are expendable and how life can easily be taken from us by masterfuly crafting into the toilet the whole life circle. You see, when we flush water, we put ourselves into the role of a god and we bring new life into the toilet, but the story of water in the toilet is the story of us, thus the artist wanted to put a dillema in our minds if we are ourselves responsible for shitty lives or the higher forces are at work. Not only that, but the artist also skillfully hints that god and life are one and the same, and he leaves the user of the toilet decide what is the truth. Furthermore, at first the water in the toilet is pure, just like children are pure. Clearly the artist wanted to send a message to people that they should not lose hope, because even if we are full of shit because of ourselves or because of higher forces at work, there will always be someone who will flush the water and cleanse us. Who will flush the water is up to us.

Why did you write that?

I was trying to be sarcastic like the rest of you codexians, but it seems I failed if I need to explain... *sigh*

Just can't seem to make you guys laugh.

You see, the guy wanted to writte something smart by comparing Homer's Illiad with a piece of shit crap Bioshock. So I tried to show how you can philosophie (or however you writte this word) about anything, but it doesn't make you look smart, because the toilet is just a toilet. The same as Bioshok is just a shoter game and there is nothing in it that would make the comparrison look smart.

... :roll: nevermind...

Bowel movements after a week-long episode of constipation is a mixed blessing.
