a shrug and an upvote from me
I had to come back to this post to upvote it, 5m later, after letting out an audible "aaahhhhhh" in the kitchen

If only poor writing was the worst of its qualities :/
On the other hand, Bioshock was precisely the opposite: everything about it was masterful except for the title.
Being a more-or-less sequel to the equally sublime System Shock series, they had to choose something with "Shock" for the title...
I learned about Ayn Rand second-hand thanks to the Bioshock series (which took place in a retrofuturistic submarine dystopia produced by a strictly libertarian society), so I got the reference right away...
