"No Gods or Kings" revisited

[manasecret]

We ought to make a list of video game conceits that BioShock turns on its head. I'll start --

1. Mario Conceit 1 - You are a fucking superhero who fucks up turtles and other crawling shit with a smile, and no one else is.
2. Mario Conceit 2 - You have as many lives as you want. Just pretend to be sad and come back to life a few screens earlier with a knowing smile. Because you are a superhero (see Mario Conceit 1).
3. Mario Conceit 3 - You get extra-super superpowers when you eat weird shit. No one else gets superpowers (see Mario Conceit 1), except (caveat) that asshole Wario and possibly Waluigi.

Any more?
