yup. i remember the opening of bioshock and seeing a little peek of a business card popping out of jack's wallet that had the Irrational "I" on it.

i did not like the 2K boston moniker. it felt dead and empty kinda like the sockets of Dick Cheney's eyes...

im happy that IG was able to maintain their identity and poise with their rockin name.

now, just make freedom force 3 and all will be swell!!!

cheers IG and fans to more great games!!!

	I reviewed Bioshock back in the times when.. people reviewed Bioshock and the review itself starts like this (rough, 1:45 a.m. translation): myself said:If we were trying to find a Native American name for Irrational, it could very well be The Company That Doesn't Do Bad Games. then went on to salivate. I've finished the review by boasting myself said:..and who cares if they're called 2K Boston now. They're still The Company That Doesn't Do Bad Games. That said, it's good to have you "back", people, filed under "I" for "I love you".

	Not saying they won't work on more sequels, but from comments pumping out of the studio, I personally am getting the feeling that Irrational Games currently wants to go above and beyond with something all new. I will admit, I would love to see another sequel to Freedom Force, Bioshock, and SWAT, but I think they have something better coming. But that's just my opinion. We'll have to wait and see what's to come. Only time can reveal it's self.

	besides, "2k" is just so last century.

Those were the days when casual gamers could get by playing a hardcore game....

	I wish I had an Irrational Games business card in my wallet on an airplane while smoking and about to crash land on a mysterious underwater dystopia. Is that so much to ask?

	Heartache, but i'd rather Irrational make lots of interesting new IP than sequels. Even though i'd die to see an Ant-centric Freedom Force spinoff. The cool thing about Bioshock is its singularity, and that's why i can't care about the sequel. I'd love to see more such singularities.

	How could that escaped from my sight?! Although, the plans of renaming Irrational back could've been after they shipped Bioshock, they still wanted to show a bit of "themselves" in there.
