Played through Bioshock again recently. This audio log jumped out at me:
“On the surface, I once bought a forest. The Parasites claimed that the land belonged to God, and demanded that I establish a public park there. Why? So the rabble could stand slack-jawed under the canopy and pretend that it was paradise earned. When Congress moved to nationalize my forest, I burnt it to the ground. God did not plant the seeds of this Arcadia, I did.”
-Andrew Ryan
That was, I believe, the first line Ken ever wrote for Arcadia, back in about February or March of 2006. You have no idea how many times I had to listen to it making that level :)
JP! Thanks for dropping by.
It almost feels like the whole storyline and theme of that level was built around that one line.
I accidently stumbled onto your blog here, but really you have a sick job and bioshock is an amazing game. Can’t wait for bioshock2 :)
