If you play video games, chances are you're familiar with Bioshock, an outstanding title set in an underwater libertarian dystopia that drew much of it's inspiration from the novels of Ayn Rand. (I posted a review of the game here but the server ate it.)
The follow up, called Bioshock: Infinite, is going to be set in a floating city in the clouds named Columbia. The problems this time around seem to stem from hyper-patriotism, fear of foreigners, and the paranoia that "they" are out to steal your guns and jobs. The city is plastered with propaganda messages that could be taken straight from a Tea Bag rally.
And the gameplay looks jaw-droppingly amazing. Make sure you watch it in HD. Holy mother, I can't wait to play this!

| Damn, that snippet was wild to wake up to. Dali would be proud. |

Here's another snippet.
Some wild stuff! |
