Anyone who claims that video games are a thorough waste of time, I have but one word in response:

BioShock.

The original. Although BioShock 2 was also pretty good (and BioShock Infinite doesn't exist in my dojo).

BioShock wasn't a video game. It was deep narrative storytelling of a whole new grade. When you come upon a smuggling den and find that the goods being illegally brought into the city are Bibles, you know something is different.

BioShock is a morality tale about what man is capable of doing in the complete and conscious absence of a belief in God. And it is not pretty.

BioShock will probably also go down as the first game to have an LGBT character. Sander Cohen: the flaming (LITERALLY) homosexual. And he's not portrayed as being the sanest of sorts.
