What brings you to the forum?

Just interested in what brought us all together here on this nice shiny new forum.

Me, I've been an Irrational Games fan for years and when I saw a link on 1UP I bookmarked it and checked the countdown page from time to time until the site was revealed. I've been intruiged by what 2K Boston were up to and I'm hoping the new project will be announced failrly sharpish!

So that's why I'm here. You?

I'm been getting more involved on the Bioshock forums lately so I figured I would come over here and check this one out as well.

BioShock introduced me to Irrational and ever since I've been awaiting their next project, while playing some original Irrational games. This is a studio I love and I'm completely excited to see them launching a way for the developers to interface with the community. It also seems they're really going the extra mile. Site design is gorgeous.

Bioshock is also the first game I played from Irrational. I'm really liking the way this site and the community is set up.

I would never have known Irrational Games was still alive if it wasn't for 4PlayerPodcast posting a link about it

I've always respected Irrational as a developer, even though I've only played two of their games.

I'm hoping to get news on System Shock and their new project, as well as seeing some behind the scenes stuff. ^_^

Because being on one forum isn't enough so I go to others to pass the time while people are busy replying to my witty comments.

And because Irrational themselves are pretty cool. With achievements and points, you'd be mad not to be here! (Unless you hate fun or something.)

I'm really surprised to see how many people found Irrational because of BioShock. I mean, don't get me wrong, its a good game, but Irrational made plenty of other good (in some ways better) games long before BioShock. That's why I'm here; the vain hope that this is more than just a simple re-naming of 2K Boston and that Irrational as I knew and loved it (before BioShock) is really back.

There are many other reasons I joined Irrational Games community and respect IG so much. Their previous games such as SWAT 4 and Freedom Force, I never had the chance to play but they none-the-less impressed me.

Well I love the games, and I'm always on the lookout for new podcasts, and I heard it mentioned on At1Up so I joined.

I'm not here because of the games, but for the people behind them. Games don't create themselves, people do. And with a good game like Bioshock, I realized, these guys know the real meaning behind game design. I should have gotten into gaming sooner than 2006.

I was definately aware of Irrational before Bioshock, but yes, it was definately Bioshock which made me an Irrational "fan".

    I'm here because I loved BioShock. But also because it's really awesome to be able to interact with current game developers since I'm striving to be one myself. Plus, Irrational is in Boston - about 30 minutes from my house.
