If you’ll allow me to go full fanboy on you for just a quick moment here: your attitude towards unique design, balancing marketability with the vision you want the game to ultimately fulfill, and the potential of video games as a popular and artistic medium is something I wish every creative mind in popular media adhered to, and I don’t exaggerate when I say that you are, quite literally, the person I want to grow up to be. And... okay, I’m done. Down to business. Here’s the stuff I’d love to pick your brain about.

  1. How much of BioShock and BioShock Infinite’s story and design were you personally responsible for? That is, how much of the games was a product of your mind, and how much, if any, was delegated to individual level designers and/or other writers?

  2. Judging by what you’ve said in previous interviews, I get the feeling that you would only pursue making another BioShock game after Infinite if you really felt you had an idea worth centering a game around, and that kind of artistic integrity is one of the things I truly respect about you. That being said, are there any ideas you’re kicking around for another BioShock game, or for a different game entirely?

  3. Speaking as an aspiring writer myself, I’d absolutely love to get a chance to write for or help design a video game. If I were to attempt to enter that field, what kinds of background knowledge and experience (and how much of it) would you recommend I have (i.e. programming, architectural design, business management, anything you’d expect a designer to know)?

And finally, I just have to ask:

Are any of the rumors I’ve heard about a BioShock movie at all true?

EDIT: I accidentally half a phrase.

Hi guys, huge fan of PSA, Lovett or Leave It, The Wilderness... you get the picture.

My question is admittedly for my own sake and may seem a little defeatist, but here we go: what are your thoughts about contingency plans if we have a nightmare scenario (i.e. Republican gains in both the house and Senate combined with underperformance in gubernatorial/state races) in the upcoming midterms? Would there still be effective action to take at that point, or would things reall be as bleak as they seem they would be?
