if you had "ft. Game Theorist" in the title you would've gotten more clicks
ewww, matpat. And it was such a nice video until then.
Where do you find that video that the game theorist made on BioShock I can't seem to find it
im not surprised you teamed up with that hack matpat what a plug
ayn rand was a goddamn idiot, as proven by her biggest fans, republicans
A man chooses, a slave obeys
MR. DEWITT!!!
Bioshock changed games like the iPhone changed handheld devices.
"No Gods, No Master" – original quote by anarchists
"No Kings, No gods" – stolen "an"-cap quote
"an"-caps so fucking unoriginal
Do a "philosophy of Overwatch" please!!!
I am not smart and knowledgable as you guys, but I noticed various motifs and ideas hiding in OW colorful scheme. Duality of oneself, mind and soul, social and political statements, racial issues, the necessity of violence etc.
Has this guy even read the Bible? xD he called America the land of God? Maybe your god Lucifer.. European the children of God? Bahahaha. You do know everything whites have gained was by the sword right? Like Easu? Now go read the Bible and see who the Isrealite truly is.
2:48– Ahh, the good ol' days of New Deal and Great Society US, ignoring more overt homophobia and "let's conflate stupidity with poverty and minority and genuine mental disability and neuter them".
Hardcore leftist propaganda.
Go fuck yourself mat pat
By skipping bioshock 2 (the best in the series) you effectively lost likes, gained dislikes, appear lazy and missed a great addition to this videos analysis of philosophy in bioshock.
Mat pat!!! I got here thanks to matpat
nice video. it was quite entertaining.
Communism would have saved Rapture from the Fascist shithole it became.
one could argue that Andrew Ryan is a AnCap.
Oh, free will definitely exists – just not in video games. Also, shame on you for treating BioShock 2 that way.
Fuck Ayn Rand and those who defend that bullshit "ideology".
Having now read Atlas Shrugged, I have such a greater appreciation for the game, Atlas Shrugged had some pretty incredible ideas and insights in it.
This idea that we have no free will is frankly just plain wrong.
Saw MatPat and stopped watching.
I liked Delta 🙁 I liked Bioshock 2.
THE LEGACY OF KAIN PHILOSOPHY!!!!!!!! PLEEEAAASSEEE!!!
i really liked bioshock 2, it had fun game mechanics and flowed smoothly, fuck u
Ah yes, Objectivism… That terrifying philosophy that believes you and all your neighbors voting to rob me in the name of some abstract "public good" is still theft. Government a la Rand protects individuals from violence, not using guns to enforce the whims of the majority. Piss poor analysis.
Why does mattpatt talk so much but say nothing? He actually ruined this video…..But hey that's a theory….Yea no just gunna stop there.
Seriously! Who DOESN'T hate Bioshock 2???
You should do a thug notes on Atlas Shrugged.
Constants and variables.
The second game is great I loved playing it. Exceeded my expectations. I love all of em!
WHAT!?
Bioshock 2 was amazing
ayy man dont be hatin on my nigga delta
Bioshock was prove that no perfect empire stands for too long
Bioshock 2 made that permanent by destroying Rapture
And Bioshock Infinite shows that no matter what timeline/year/reality it is the "shining city on a hill" concept still wouldn't work
(These games are absolutely my favorite that was just what i took from it)
