DO A profile DIAGRAM of the Eiffel tower, the titanic stood on edge, and the sea depth of Rapture

teenagers
gave us the Big Sisters
Think - What could be worse than giving Teenagers Plasmid super powers ?????
We might joke about them already having disfigurement(acne) and insanity(mental instability) ... 
--- --- ---
dup 
imagine what Rapture started to be like when the toilets started backing up ?
another faction thing to organize

Historical note - kerosene lambs were STILL big business in the USA (limitations of electric lights in many usages - even by 1930s a majority of US farms still did not have any electric power).

DEEP THOUGHTS]]
Thought - Why wasn't 'Enrage' (developed by Fontaine?) called a breaking of Ryan's Philosophy by taking Free Will (makes someone attack someone else ) ????
NOT Denounced by The Press ? How inconsistent of the writers ...
It is indirect action (if supposedly used for 'self-defensive' purposes). It gets someone else involved.
--- --- ---
term 'Classist' someone who believes in the 'class system' for society. Not necessarily rejecting 'class mobility'

MMORPG Player Movement Enhancements :
In the cutscene start to BS2 they showed a you as a Big Daddy doing a "Death From Above" attack landing on a Splicer from up a level. They never gave us that option in the Rapture games, which would have been nice.
---
Imagine the cut scene at the start of BS2 where Delta faces Sofia Lamb and he takes off his helmet - its too bad they didn't have other NPCs in scene shy back from what Delta looks like inside the suit
---
Which the loss of memories was a consequence of the physical traces of those memories (what some researchers refer to as “engrams”) naturally breaking down or becoming harder to access;
---
infinite bs
certain retards should have looked at more real era photos to get their ideas of what things looked like instead of just assuming and making so many mistakes.
---
wizzbangs of the age telephones
imagine Columbia awash in telephone lines - perfect to turn Booker into eggslices

If Levine wanted with it (??? widhip ) he shoulda made it happy world - utopia

last episode of the prisoner machine gun seesaw

Worley Winery
Problem is you need GRAPES and lots of them
So where ?
---
?? who this about >> Gil ?
He seems to have a remote control on that Flybot (his eyeballing you) versus one of those Flybot psychic controls some Splicers have
---
---
Those Spider Splicers were worse than pigeons. pix

pix of 'Barge'
Those barges with 'rockets' (flamey things) problem with flames is they jet out very hot gases and make things catch fire and parboil people (particularly when docking/landing)
Must be magic kerosene powered flamejets (a combustive explosion fired through a venturi to generate force to have any use at all
Must be closely controllable (multiple jets) to balance (and not have the FloatyShit(tm) thing go pinwheeling away out of control
--- --- ---
Rapture is NOT Galt's Gulch (From "Atlas Shrugged")
People could come and go from that small place which served more as a think-tank/tourist-retreat than as an isolated Citystate
Despite claims of Auto factory, oil field, growing wheat/fruit, etc ...
Galt's Gulch is barely a village ( And at that, a small one ).

Project Tinkertoy 1950-1953
Things they learned making the circuits for the WW2 proximity fuses

Ryan Commenting on Fontaines new Bathysphere models :
"Don't ever allow a 'artist' to design your Submarine OR it will end up just a fancy coffin tomb for you."
--- ---
If Columbia had only waited just a few years, then it coulda been Dada-esque (( The bizarreness seen in that game looked well 'on its way' to that ... ))
--- --- ---
Spies on Columbia
Think of all the ones who just walked in through Tears to steal the 'Secrets'
Massive Government efforts to obtain every secret ( competition and suspicions of letting their rivals have such things )
---
Crochet Punk <<<
Somethiong you could have with 'String Theory' ?????
--- --- ---
BioShock - It is 'after all' a setting for a Shooter Game with the setting/terrain being MOST of the story.
---
Except for the fact that in some/many timelines ... there's a Booker with a headless baby Liz
---
Because of the cost of toilet paper, Rapturites had to adopt the Roman-style - Sponge on A Stick " spongia "
^^^ whats this thing called in latin ???
-
1953 ? Ball Point pen BIC
"Fountaine Pens" ...

Server Implimentation
Continuous City (Terrain) LOD ( not just whats shown to the player, but scheduling SENDing information to the players Client )
Continuous Server Backup ( that's old hat by now, though the amount of dynamic MMORPG data might stress Servers )
Cohesion Granularity (detail level)
----
programming]]
Backward Compatibility is important for AI scripting ( actually all the game behavior scripting )
Older consoles ? Median PC hardware ??? MMORPGs go on for years and can face whole new generations of new hardware ( and even the network linkage )
---
Content Development Community Player Asset Creation - People who know how to organize/coordinate and process requests ) with complex specifications ( like Mission/Quest in a chain/arc with a cohesive theme - balanced, interesting, challenging ...
???
Testing may require Avatar (Player view) and NPC shaping for proper balance ( NPC helpers ALWAYs more complex than single Player actions ).
Multitude of abilities ( including those acted out by NPCs) makes the task that much harder ( Bioshock NPCs rarely used Plasmids - due to the difficulty of programming the tactics). Columbia with its repetitive 'set-piece' Arena fights .. ( where initial positioning was MOST of the advantage - not flexible tactical actions )
--- --- ---
The Calculations of 'Good' :
'Bad' if you Harvest a Little Sister 
But 'Good' Saving them ? YOU just killed their Big Daddy, thus leaving them more defenseless (they crawl away into that Vent 'to who knows where' ... And Worse - YOU just traumatized them. Why this doesn't add to your 'bad karma' for the ending is illogical.
---
Very few interiors in Rapture we see with even 8 stories tall
---
You don't need a massive mainframe to control 'Doors' (Writers can be imbeciles and lazy)
--- --- ---
Cutscene a cliche counter starting (as Fontaine etc ...) 'Self-Destruct'
WTF this ^^^ Fontaine shitting his pants as he waits for control so he can deactivate his pending death
The key card is inserted , but then a sound of Laughing Ryan as the Destruct restarts and Rapture is destroyed.

That Miraculous Vita-Chamber
DNA from Surface to bring back great minds (reconstitute via Vita-Cahamber magic - if its assumed 'genetic')
Agents on the Surface 'Breaking into Tombs' and such (Flashback fun)
Now THAT mighta been real use of that absurd Dim-Fantasy GAME-SAVE alternative
