So, this is going to sound strange, but work with us for a minute. We're capturing footage of BioShock Infinite for our video review, and we hand the footage over to our video editors, who proceeds to go through said footage in order to find good clips to use in said review. Simple, right?

But while looking through the footage at high speeds, one of our video editors hears something. So he speeds up the footage, and... there's a voice. And it's saying... something. We have no idea what it is, but here it is, presented to you for dissection (note, it's from the The Fraternal Order of the Raven section, only about an hour into the game, so it should be light on spoilers).


Time's falling? Can't catch up? In two years, time will catch up to us? We have no idea. We tried playing it backwards, slower, faster--nothing. Let us know if you figure it out. If you're still unsure about what it all means, check out this spoiler-filled analysis of BioShock Infinite's ending.
