I respect the effort but I increasingly find myself avoiding these kind of things to limit my knowledge of what I'm going to find in the game.

Should we post previews, such as the previews for the Hunting the Big Daddy Demo?

In our interview with him, the discussion is broad and wide. We do talk BioShock -but nothing new is revealed. Infact, we discuss more of his design philosophies and such. Here is the blurb from our page:

Ken Levine, co-founder of Irrational Games and lead designer of BioShock, joins us to discuss his latest venture. Other things covered in the interview include Ken’s feelings on some anticipated 2007 titles, the potential for a new Thief game (and whether he even likes stealth games to begin with), his feelings on a hypothetical System Shock 3, the deal with Irrational’s Australian studio and how it affects BioShock, his personal design philosophies, what sets BioShock apart from the FPS flock, and much more!

Join us for an hour long chat with one of the industry’s most unique game designers.

Aha, I did actually listen to the Played one (based mostly on the same description you quoted), and it was one of the better gaming-related podcasts I've heard, so kudos. Levine generally gives great interviews/copy, so I actually like listening/reading when he rambles off-topic. But his dislike of stealth games made me sad, I was semi-hoping for some token stealthy elements in Bioshock.

Should we post previews, such as the previews for the Hunting the Big Daddy Demo?I don't see why not. I didn't include them as I want to focus on official information. (Plus there are so many I didn't have time to go through them.)I respect the effort but I increasingly find myself avoiding these kind of things to limit my knowledge of what I'm going to find in the game.Take heart that there is a lot more that the devs haven't yet revealed, and there are things that will remain secret until the game is out.

That being said, if you really want to avoid spoilers, you're probably best off staying away from forums until you've beaten the game.

That should be plenty of information about that video for anyone interested although that video should come within a couple of days, so it might not be useful. Hope it comes tomorrow!
