Today I rebought DJ Hero

Not many games make me feel like as much of a badass as this game does. MC DAVE IN THE HIZOUSE!!!!!!! KLAXONS!!! REWIND!! DJ SHIT!!!!

What’s that coming over the hill?

BioShock Gifs, BioShock Gifs everywhere! (Soonish)

Woohoo!

Finally finished reading BioShock Rapture!

I feel so ready to jump in and experience BioShock properly now, all the way through. Having played it in bits before I saw things and visited places that were interesting and unique, but now I’ll be experiencing all that goodness with so much more knowledge about what I’m seeing. Rapture is such a cool and mysterious place and I love learning about it!

I’m hoping there’ll be some things in-game I’ll notice specifically from the book. People or places or marks on the environment, I can think of stuff I’m excited to see already!

I want to thank John Shirley for writing the book too. I read the authors notes and it seems like something he cared about and deeply sunk himself into, almost purely as fan service for a relatively small audience. Ken Levine too, for letting it happen.

I won’t go into it much, but this is why I find transmedia so interesting. Expanding worlds and enriching experiences in meaningful, worthwhile and planned ways. I wrote my dissertation on transmedia, it’s great to experience more of it. I’ll definitely be reading BioShock Infinite: Mind in Revolt before settling into Columbia! Love having these rich supplements to the greater experience!

For sure reading Uncharted: The Fourth Labrynth next. Maybe the Uncharted and Ratchet and Clank Graphic Novels too! And maybe, just maybe one day.. I’ll dive into Halo..

Side note: I’m reading this stuff as eBooks..on my iPhone, say whaaaat! Not a bad way to read in short bursts, the bookmarking makes it super easy to jump in and during downtime at work, and having a Night mode for when I’m in bed makes my eyes say thank you!

This is how you do a badass title screen folks!
