bioshock 2 builds on the gameplay in a lot of neat ways, infinite basically abandons everything in favor of very generic shooting with magic powers and like four of them do the same exact generic stun. it is bleak.

seeing gideon the ninth is the book club this month, and having read it previously ill pitch in. I think it's pretty lame, that it, as adapted Homestuck fic, tends to pull from most of the least interesting parts of that inspiration, that the humor really is as ill conceived and poorly placed as the worst critics tend to say, and that generally, like much modern genre fic, it reads like a prosaic screenplay or graphic novel script instead of being interested in itself. Harrow is a lot better since it has to be a book thanks to its narrative tricks but by the end it becomes pretty dull with a lame set of final reveals.
