This is the cool obscure DEMO thing thread - NOT for the regular ol demo thread full of PC crying and download statistics. Obscure means 'not clearly expressed', hard to see, or in other words "lolzor buh tha coolest thing is wen the daddy and the sitster r in th moor and finushes teh line stick i think and theyre was a fish" or something like that.

#1. When you go into the selection wheel for weapons or plasmids it freezes the game and makes the background grayscale. You can just hang out there all day deciding what to bust out next right as some guy is about to bludgeon your skull.

#2. The sound it makes when you hit the upright microphone.

#3. That the targeting reticle is just a very small pip that is slightly off-yellow. So helpful and yet not distracting.

#4. You can click the right thumbstick to zoom-in your aim when using weapons. What!? Are you serious? Yes! Yes I am!

#5. I can't be entirely sure, but it felt like the camera turned slightly toward the tail section coming down without my controlling it. Like it just very slightly tipped me in the right direction to look. Very sneaky!

#6. The CANCELLED departure signs above your head in the beginning. For some reason I didn't notice that the first time - guess I was too frightened to look up.

#7. Smashing a [SPOILER]dead splicer's face[SPOILER] for the hell of it and then gasping as [SPOILER]it turns into a pulpy black and red splotch[SPOILER]!

I think the "Cancelled" thing was kinda cool, also the first time I didn't really notice all the baggage and picket signs saying stuff like "Let us go, you don't own us" "Rapture is DEAD!" and a poster saying "Bathysphere travel is cancelled" It really built up the mood when I noticed it. Also when you look up in the Bathysphere when you're being attacked by the Splicer, you see it has holes in the roof.. awesome :)

Also, I didn't notice it the first time but the entrance said "All the good things in this world flow into this city" or something like that.. a bit egotistical of Andrew Ryan.

Yes, and a bit optimistic too! The government wants to give it to the poor?!? Haaa! I REALLY like how elitist and selfish Andrew Ryan is considering my opinion of Ayn Rand.
