You realize that some people think that Colbert is some sort of meta comedy show and isn't satire, right?

You're not some Alex Jones/World Net Daily dumb  , yes, so in that sense you shouldn't be lumped in the same category as Randy Weaver up here. |

Honestly, if I seriously thought that the US government was going to ban all guns and confiscate them, I would be all up in that shit with the gun nuts too, but it is so far from reality that you'd have some sort of paranoia to the extent of being an actual clinical mental health issue.

The second game's plot felt like it was a poorly written apology letter to angry "objectivists." The plot was like "no, there are problems with communism, too! here, see! we'll make the collectivist the villain!"
...and add multiplayer, I suppose. Yech. Anyway, yes, yes, Bioshock 1 was a very thinly disguised attempt to skewer Randian thought, but the sequel went into "oh, shit we must be 'fair and balanced'" overdrive, and the game was pretty uninspired as a result.

Don't forget that it was also done by a different studio. Not as fun either.
