== Infinite Chalkboard Created By Gamemaker People Who Maybe Never Saw or Used One ==
Weird Chalkboards as part of Infinite BS and it is DLC ( thus contaminating OUR Rapture with them ) :
We did see some in Old Rapture too, mostly odd because of repetitions (genetic diagrams and such).

CaptainObviousBlackboardt.jpg|I am disturbed at how STUPID this is.
ILaughWhenISeeThese.jpg|Did the artist who made this EVER touch a piece of chalk ?
Helium_needsmore_helium.jpg|Oops this is a blueprint ( They didn't understand them either ).
DrObviousChalkboard.jpg|So stupid I had to have it Twice.
Stupidchalkboard7.jpg|Stuff you put on paper - not Chalkboards
Anotherdimone.jpg|Reaching way up there being so precise - really ?
Moreasinine.jpg|Rather Creepy
Loom.jpg|I dont think these game 'artists' quite get the Concept 
SONGWHO.jpg|Back before Songbird was Hugified Gianourmously
SuggestedRetailPrice.jpg|BaSx's proposed Plasmid Idea
MoreBlackboardGoodness.jpg|Yes - Equations for a Complex Machine ( just make it ... )
MoFrickenBlackboards.jpg|And even in Pairs !!!!
Too Precise. 
Too Complicated. 
Often Too Tall to be able to Write that high/use normally.
Too Tiny Detailed ( Ever try erasing to make a correction something 1/2 inch with one of those chalk erasers ? ) Chalkboards are used to work things out, and once they are well on their way or need proper recording/composing the information/diagrams get PUT ON PAPER. Real details also take more than one diagram. We had perfectly good Blueprints all over BS1/BS2 ( We actually saw whole ROOMS full of rolled up Blueprints, ones in drawers, and even the drafting tables used to create them all ), so why couldn't the Infinite BSers simply do the same ???

Fink Hadn't See/Developed/Manufacturing Post-it Notes, Yet ... Strange Blackboards :
Blackboards for Fink's various 'Projects' (strange, Suchong seems to have started doing that also in the DLC).
Ranting on a Blackboard ? AND SO neatly too. That Drinkable-ADAM requiring 10 TIMES the hard-to-get ADAM making it more expensive - THAT should have been the issue on the Blackboard - Did the profit of a Luxury good 'Drinkable' do better than a mass-produced consumer item 'injectable' ? What was next, 'Suppository' form ?
Or maybe is there a better way to inject it the 'Easy-Stab, Vigor Injecto-matic' ...
"Offer a Better Product" ...

Chalk Dust :
Doesn't anyone clean up (erase) Chalkboards in the land of Lamb ?? I see chalkboards recording Alpha Series work from 7+ years previous still there in the research facilities where Splicers in medical garb still walk around. Would have thought they would have use for those Chalkboards -- To at least write quotations from Sofia Lamb's 'little red book', so that they would appear to adore their 'beloved' leader A reference to The ( current and past ) North Korean Despot who has had this title.. Or at least to track how many days late their Family-gruel delivery is.

Realistic Chalkboard :
This is what chalkboard use looks like. NOT the incredibly precise/intricate diagrams more suitable to a blueprint. Maybe the problem is that most of the game developers never saw a real blackboard/chalkboard ( or one being used ) ?
This one from BioShock Two is like half the height of the oversized ones we saw in Infinite BS.
-
Separate Issue : OK, But that 1965 date ^^^ ?? Rather unlikely that Lamb (and the remains of Fontaine Futuristics) could still have enough resources to make new Plasmids ( and we did see Teleport in use by 1960 by Houdini Splicers. ) Delusionality-all-round, possibly with Crazy Lamb ordering new Genetic Stuff and her Crazy minions pretending ( or thinking ) they were following her orders.
-
This Blackboard/Chalkboard is about 8 feet tall ( I clipped it too much, but lower left is the top of a table ).

==REMEMBER BLUEPRINTS ?????==
We saw info assets like this in BS1/BS2 - design blueprints ... For some crazy reason, the designers/artists of Infinite BS thought that detailed info like this was ( back in the day ) normally put on Chalk Blackboards ( which shows that they hadn't a clue about how real chalkboards are used in a sane intelligent universe ).
-
Try doing THIS on a Real Blackboard Ken & Co. Blueprints would have been JUST AS EASY to create Asset-wise, EXCEPT that the game designers did NOT think the Players would ever see them ( bother to look at closeup ), so had those ( often stupidly ) enormous Chalkboards which you could not miss from 100 feet away.
One of those ditzy Blackboards/Chalkboards seen in Infinite BS and it's bastard stepchild Burial At Sea. Seriously, have these 'artists' creating these game Assets even TOUCHED a REAL Blackboard ( even a dry-erase whiteboard ) to know how stupid this object presentation of Their's is ???
Hint - You DON'T ( practically can't ) write teenie-tiny on a real Blackboard, and CERTAINLY NOT way up at the top like this.
This is even so SLOPPILY DONE as they clipped it off at the top incorrectly when they created this game Object.
--- --- ---
SERIOUSLY, who needed to put THIS on a blackboard ??? Memo to Fink/Suchong/EVERYONE - Stop wasting time carefully drawing trivial things on blackboards. If you have a significant idea or issue to present, put it on paper so the janitor doesn't accidentally erase it some night.
Those equations in lower left ? Why ? ...... Makes it more 'Sciencey', I guess.
NOTE TO GAME DEVELOPER - Next time, actually make it look like it was drawn in chalk. (( Might have been useful for YOU to KNOW what a Chalkboard is, and how it is used before creating weird unreal props like this. )
Kinda the thing you figure out BEFORE you start mass production of a Product. If the IDEA originally came from Rapture where it WAS already injectable, then how did the 'drinkables' even happen to be chosen. So Fink, the universal genius, just waved his hand to create this technology, when he would have taken YEARS just to find and obtain the right Sea Slugs just to do the basic research ? 
Also, the Math here ( 10 X ) is so obvious that even a Dead Sea Slug would have seen which way the product packaging should have gone ... and so Fink was supposedly stupider than THAT ( to have to show something like this on a chalkboard ... ) ????
(( So, was Infinite BS developed like THIS on chalkboards ???? ... with Trivial details expounded in such detail ?? It IS no wonder it took 5 years and a wasted $100 million delivering this mess of a game. ))
--- --- ---
When have you EVER seen a Chalkboard so neat and laid out perfectly. They really are NOT used for this, because as soon as a plan is this detailed it goes on Paper with proper precision ( and then to Blue Prints ).
I love those equations which supposedly 'explain' the whole Quantumz thing - It is kinda like writing the design for a game on a Denny's napkin.

Repetition :
We did see some Chalkboards in BioShock. I recall one repeated one ( real chalkboards don't repeat ) which was about genetics - molecule DNA helix diagram and equations - Like the People there were generally obsessed with that subject ( board was also found in unusual places ) - When most people there in Rapture were clueless and probably wouldn't care too much. Again, it is game makers adding strange filler details ( reusing a created asset ). But for Infinite BS, they seemingly went Crazy Stupid with it.
--- --- ---
Another Dim BaSx Chalkboard :
You'd think Dr Suchong wouldn't bother to write such stuff on his Blackboards ( Example is the one that says that "the Imprinting ISN'T Genetic" BELOW). Written Documents much ? NOT far More information than could fit on a dozen Blackboards ???? 
AND Ryan might 'walk in', see this, and think Suchong was an incompetent idiot ( even Ryan would know that imprinting in humans IS NOT genetic ). 
--- 
Did Dr Suchong have other Blackboards incriminating himself in the Ryan-stolen-embryo/Jack-conspiracy also ??? 
Shouldn't "WOULD YOU KINDLY" be seen on one chalkboard with a notation to remember to give this "Ryan Assassination Control Phrase" to Fontaine ??? Chalkboards are now a mythical thing of the past, and I wouldn't expect game writers (in 2007) to know how they were used 'in the old days' - now so long ago "so long ago" - You would think that game developers would spend a little more time researching things from 'so long ago' when they were then to portray such things in a game..
So in the MMORPG, should the Players be able to have their own chalkboards to write ridiculous things on ? ( Instead of on paper or blueprints or memo paper ( or Accu-Vox ) - It is easier than sorting through a bunch of Memo notes to have a reminder written in big letters you can see across a room. ) Yet another fun Content Asset for Players to create ( even In-Game writable ) to include multiple chalk mark fonts ... Editing interface including importing pix and text from the Players computer ... Obviously another game Asset/tool to be used for Missions clues meant to NOT be missed by the Player.
