Darth Vader. Luke Skywalker. Worst spoiler ever imagined for young Jedi. I hate the really long Monthly Musings, but yours is good. Short and sweet.

I don't need a wall of text to make my point. I don't like to draw things out longer than they need to be, but I think this blog is of sufficient length to successfully plead my case.
I find it fitting that you mention Bioshock. That game has been ruined for me, and I will never play or finish it. I just can't do it, sure there is game play, but my friends/the internet have ruined every potentially exciting thing about that game for me, the story. This is easily th e biggest example of a spoiler ruining my fun.

Never read the book. It ruined me. I have rarely completed a book since. It just broke something inside of me. Nowadays I read plot summaries on Wikipedia for books and movies, can't stand watching or reading the entire thing unless it is really good.

I really liked this. There have been times when I've so wanted to spoil something for myself and then realized that I was trying to ruin the game I was going to play. I have had conflict of interests with myself, but I find it terrible for someone else to ruin it for you.

It is so hard to stop yourself from ruining a good game, huh? Especially if said game is long. I ended up spoiling FFX for myself because I couldn't stand not knowing and the game itself was a chore. Luckily I have been able to restrain myself in most cases.

Very excellent blog.
Videogames rarely get ruined for me because I'm so careful around the internets and friends when playing a game I'm heavily into... but several movies have been spoiled for me and it pisses me off.

My friend has been nagging me to read the book, so much so, that she is planning on burning and sending me the book on tape to me in the mail!
Also, I should have mentioned, that myself not being able to afford my own games I mooch off friends. Of course, in that situation, they're usally in the same room as you, either being "Go here, do that" or, their body language (maybe I should invest in blinders) tells you something is up, potentially runining the suprise.
Good article by the way.

I don't know why this article got promoted. Who played through BioShock twice? Most of the people who bought it, that's who. I personally played through it three times. Once for the good ending. Once for the bad ending. Lastly, once with my best friend entirely in a drunken rage.
BioShock almost requires you to play it through twice. After the amazing twist to the story, you have to go back and pick up on all of the subtle hints given to you throughout the game.
A time to destroy? A time to destroy an awful promoted article...
All media has a spoiler, it's called the ending.

Those X-play assholes ruined persona 3 for me. I watched their spoiler review after I had the game but before I started to play it (and no that isn't a very sensible thing to do in the first place). I eventually stopped playing after becoming bored though, but I know part of the ending already anyways.
Also I see the word Bioshock in this article a lot, so I'm not going to read it since I've not yet played that one.
"BioShock was an amazing game in it's own right, but who has beaten it twice?"
I had wondered who hadn't.
I actually have beaten it three times. Once to save all the little sisters, one harvesting, and once on hard.

Bioshock had a good ending?
And great article Atlas. In my speech class we had to talk about a pet peeve of ours, and I chose spoilers, because you're right about everything...the cake is a lie.

dude, i'm all for not spoiling things... but... you're just asking for it. Saying things like "spoiling a game is SO MUCH WORSE THAN SPOILING A MOVIE" makes me want to spoil a game for you.
People who spoil things enjoy most the insane, fanatical, nerdy reactions of their victims!

It was the greatest moment of my life... the book had only been released for 24 hours... I finished it at late midnight... woke up next morning... went to my school... got to the middle of the room...
screamed... SNAPE KILLED DUMBLEDORE!! HE IS THE HALF BLOOD PRINCE!!!
EPIC WIN!!!
it was harder to spoil the ending for Deathly Hallows... I still tried... meh...

Seven Pounds is really just a movie about a man with AIDS who picks seven people he wants to share it with before it gets him. / spoiler

Would you kindly tell me why people feel they need to spoil games for others? The (what I assume is) biggest spoiler in Bioshock was revealed to me shortly after it was released. I've forgotten most of it (in time for me to pick it up myself this Christmas) but the major one is still with me. :(
@darkwhitehair
That's fucking hilarious, but I would have killed you. Like Jim said, Harry Potter made it fun to spoil things.

i think its worst noting that spoilers don't ruin games for everyone some people enjoy it and still play the game. though they are the minority. i'm not one.
Atlas is Fontaine is not the major spoiler in Bioshock. The other fucking one was. The huuge awesome one, about the daddies. Anyway, who DOESN'T expect the major-helper-guy/organisation you work for to betray you in games anymore? Isn't that like the one singular twist the games industry works around?
Yes, I stole this from podtoid, STFU

That reflects my results perfectly. It's taken forever for me to get back to being able to watch a movie without Wikipedia usage.

Some twat spoiled a part of the ending of Persona 4 for me. I now feel slightly sick to my stomach when I play. The game is AMAZING, but I KNOW THE ENDING AND IT KILLS ME.
I fucking hate spoilers.

[b]WOW! Merry Christmas Hamza, don't ask why I am up at 2AM on Christmas Day -- but this is amazing! I seriously thought you had it out for me and would never promote my work.
Thanks meng.
