Get Yer Bioshock 2 Desktop Pictures Right Heah!

Cult of Rapture, the source for Bioshock 2 info ( Did you know Big Daddies love girly drinks?  ) has been generous enough to make the artwork I did for them available to all of you (despite my warning them about quite a number of the dirtier portion of you lot) as desktop wallpaper in various sizes.

Something I noticed while signing the print at Comicon was that a lot of people picked it up not knowing a thing about Bioshock, and that disgusted me.  I mean, it was cool that they’d stand in line just to pick up something I did, but the sheer ignorance of what a Big Sister was just infuriated me, and I threw a huge fit, tearing down the whole booth, putting a halt to the signing for about an hour while I had to put it all back together again.  The most common comment from the infidels was that I had put my “trademark style” into the thing by making the Big Daddy spindly and emaciated, when I had done no such thing, pretty much going by the design of the Big SISTER that exists in the newer game.

All I’m saying is, know your history, kids.  This is important stuff and you won’t feel at all regretful that you spent your life studying this stuff when you’re on your deathbed with nothing but gaming memories to look back on.

Fancy!

Now, if that’s your sort of thing, then head on over and download it.

I love climbing and slaughtering collosi or  tearing people limb from limb, channeling the anger from being tricked by Ares into slaughtering  my innocent family as much as the next virtual escapist, but I’m always interested in games that present an experience far enough removed from the usual thing to be looked thought of not as a mere game but as a more artistic extension and expression of something as abstract as human dreams.  Not to say that tearing someone’s arms off, impaling them against a door and then kicking them to open said door isn’t something we’ve all dreamed of, but something a bit more scaled back as the ability to fly is a nice diversion as well, and more today’s subject.

Your average, ho-hum bloody walls.

 Dead Space, right?  I’m only about 2 hours into the game, and what a slick game it is, from the beautifully interactive lighting to the wonderfully integrated holographic interfaces, and the real-time baking…

…but here’s what’s bothering me about this here DEAD SPACE in, having read over this, a rambling and nearly incoherent spill of words…
