the irony is its not just a dream if we’re going to be “realistic” here EVERYTHING is just a dream, language is a simplification of our thoughts and feelings, time is an illusion, by the time information gets to our eyes its the past, our understanding of dimensions is flawed, multiple mimesis dimensions is more of a mental exercise which stimulates our frontal lobe than anything factual (theory). let go of that saying “bit sad if its all just a dream” you didn’t make any friends in columbia what have you lost? instead of losing imaginary friends you’ve gained an anthroposophical exercise.
Sometimes one can over think things. Kind of like numerology.
there’s no such thing as over thinking when you’re being scientific, if you’re going round in circles then yeah you are over thinking limited calculations in the hope that something may emerge out of it, but I know exactly what I’m saying.
It was always too late for this game.
Ki Shima still hasn’t bothered to actually explain himself. Just a bunch of pseudo science bullshit that leads no where.
its never to late to play bioshock 1 or infinite, the only bioshock its too late for is bioshock 2 wayyyyyy too late. I dont know anyone who likes bioshock 2.
Young and Old at the same time~

The interactions with the tears is what caused Comstock to age so quickly, having the outward appearance of an old man at the age of 38!!!
I wonder if Comstock traveled to other dimension and stayed there for extended periods of time only to eventually return to his proper time and declension; if he had personally lived and had 60+ years of life experience played out in other times and places…
Maybe…
Could he simply just be a elderly looking middle aged man?
hmm…
what do you guys think?[/details]
Wow you are useless aren’t you, pseudo science? Fucking hell. I give up
[details=Spoiler]Comstock had been travelling all over time and space, that’s why he saw the things he prophesized. It’s also why he was impotent and had to steal Booker’s daughter. So yeah, he wasn’t a 30 year old senior citizen, he legitimately was older, due to travelling Doctor Who style for so long
[/details]
Well what the fuck are you trying to say then?You keep saying there’s more to this then point out the thought experiment argument, but there’s doesn’t actually seem to be any end game to that. Just two people fuckin with DeWitts head, but that on it’s own doesn;t lead to any kind of revelation or deeper meaning, or counteract anything that happens in the last 20 minutes of the game.
WTF is your point? Fuckin spell it out for me, clearly I’m too damn dumb to get whatever higher level of thinking your god like brain has achieved. Personally i think you’re just doing a shitty ass job of explaining it but I’m willing to give you the benefit of the doubt. Stop being coy and just say what the fuck you think it all means.
Spoiler
He wasn’t necessarily older due to time/dimension traveling so much; it was the natural passage of time. When he stole Sara from Booker, he was probably roughly the same age as Booker. Skip to present time of Infinite, he is older and so is Sara (now Elizabeth). Booker and Comstock are not the same age.
I’m going to have to do a video or something
though I’ll just say one of the funniest things in the game is the tune you have to play to gain access to columbia right at the start of the game is the same tune that was used to communicate in Close encounters of the third kind.
I wonder how many people noticed that
This game.
i dont think bioshock players think there smarter then other gamers, only CoD players

Natural passage of time?
They’re both born in 1874 and they’re together in the same universe in 1912… by the natural passage of time they ought to both be 38… the very same age down to the second.
The only way it seems to be possible for Comstock to be “biologically” older than DeWitt is if we go with Soviet’s comment saying that although relative to his own universe Comstock is 38, we take for granted that Comstock not only looked through tears to see into other dimensions but actually traveled to other spaces and times and lived out long extended periods of time: Adding up to eventually equate to having true 60+ years of conscious life experience.
But going strictly by the information the game provides via voxophones it isn’t at all conclusive exactly what the state of affairs are in regards to Comstock’s literal age, all we know is that his age is accelerated, AFAIK. [/details]
Comstock’s age was explained as exposure to the Lutece’s experiments rapidly accelerating his aging. Why it didn’t seem to affect ABSOLUTELY ANYBODY ELSE is because of the phenomena known as the “Narrative Cop-out”.
No it didn’t affect anyone else because you are all in denial
fair point
[details=Spoiler] Fair point but how many people came in contact with Lutece tears?
[/details]
[details=Spoiler]Coming into occasional contact likely had little or no effect. Comstack on the other hand fucked with them enough to go sterile and age. The only person who likely spent more time with the tears, was Elizabeth, and she was able to create them with little effect.
Hell, you and the dude Lutece went through one, and it fucked you both up something fierce.[/details]
Anyone get Burial at Sea?
