Description
Hi everyone. Hoping you didn't think I'd forgotten to post a pic this week.Today, we have a follow-up to my 30,000-Hit Commemorative pic, , which featured my Kim Possible OC, Maximillion, running around with Elizabeth from Bioshock Infinite (everyone's favorite non-Disney Disney Princess). I'm actually seriously considering writing a fanfic along these lines, though I don't have it anywhere near planned out.
This was the idea I had in my head for the final scene, though. At the end of their adventuring, Elizabeth realizes she has one more thing she has to do while she's a guest in this particular reality. And Max, who's already deduced who Elizabeth is, follows her there. Where she's found is at a cemetery in New York, paying her respects at two particular graves. And one look at the tombstones reveals that this was a reality where the circumstances that created Elizabeth never occurred and she was free to live out her life as she was always meant to. Naturally, Elizabeth can't help but get a little emotional. Max, meanwhile, remains respectful.
Those who've played the game, I'm hoping will understand where I'm going with this. As for everyone else, I just hope you see a good, quality pic. As always, hope everyone likes what they see.^_^

The game is very well done, if you can tolerate the level of violence. Along with the ethnically-biased overtones (I like to avoid using the word racism, not to be politically correct, but to be accurate...after all, someone of a different skin color isn't a member of a different species). To look at the way people behave in this game to the blacks, the Chinese and the Irish, it's so preposterous that it borders on outright parody. But then you have to remember that this game was set in 1912, when a lot of America still felt this way and that's when it starts to feel disturbing.

Yeah, it's just one of the dark clouds lurking behind the silver lining of the environment you're in. Of course, it later becomes nothing BUT dark clouds when the whole system completely falls apart.

What's so sad about it being set in 1912?

It's not sad that the game is set in 1912. It's sad that, in retrospect, most people felt that way back then.

Oh, I see. Kind of satirical, isn't it?

Well, that's just it, though. To look at the way people behave in this game, it's so preposterous that it borders on outright parody. But then, when you remember that this was set in 1912, when a lot of the country still genuinely felt this way, it becomes a little disturbing.

Because, it's as if it's historically accurate.

Well, what you see in this game is one hidden city where people have built what they felt is an idyllic existence, But they're lorded over by an insane false prophet and an "entrepreneur" who's interested only in lining his own pockets.

There's nothing wrong with being religious, so long as your not fanatically so.

Yeah, it's kind of like one thing this comedian once said in a stand-up bit, a long time ago. He said, that if you've found happiness, contentment and a code of conduct in religion, more power to you, "but don't shut off your mind and become a blind follower".

Well, there's a saying about comedy. Good comedians look at the world and see a funny place. GREAT comedians look at the world and DON'T.

Well, would guys like Denis Leary or Lewis Black be half as popular as they are if they weren't complaining about everything?

I'm afraid I'm not all that familiar with those two.

Fair enough that you're not familiar with Denis Leary or Lewis Black.
Anyway, I'll reply to your other messages a bit later. For now, just know that your pic is up and I hope it was worth the wait.^_^

Just look at the comment I left on it.

she was 92 in 1984, this means she could been 102 in 1994
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, that would certainly contradict the timeline in the Hall of Heroes, which stated that she was born in 1893. Still, people have lived longer. And it was my way of making her special in that reality, even without her godlike abilities.

Burner: if it makes her feel better...........never mind.

What's wrong Burner? What were you going to say?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Burner: i was gonna say that she shouldn't cry, there are mulitiple realities each a product of a decision made in another, and none are perfect. the one she came from may not have been the best but she shouldn't dwell on that, both she and the girl in that grave are one in the same so in the grand scheme of things she did know Booker.Be thankful that this Anna got to live the good life, be proud that because she was in her reality this Anna never knew it.
But mostly be thankful she is not in my shoes..........I never had parents of any kind.......I don't even have a grave........

Glad you liked the pic, though.

That's more or less what I was going for. Though I imagine only those who've played the game will be able to truly appreciate it.

No kidding, if the events in that game are to be believed. I don't recommend the Burial At Sea DLC, though.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
what happens in the DLC?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, basically, what they try to do is tie the events of the Bioshock Infinite into the original Bioshock and they don't do a very good job. I mean, I loved the gameplay (especially in Episode 2), but I'll never go back to play it again, only because storytelling is ridiculously slipshod and the end is catastrophic. I suppose Irrational Games should be commended on the ambition of trying to tie the two games together, but while the design of the gameplay is well thought out, the writing feels like a rush job, as if they were just trying to get it done and out the door as soon as possible. You can just FEEL Ken Levine and his writing team STRUGGLING to make connections at every turn, especially in many places where connections shouldn't be made at all and the only result is more confusion. And when you consider that, in MORE ways than one, the events of Burial at Sea shouldn't even be happening AT ALL, it only continues to hurt the franchise. As such, I applaud the main game of Bioshock Infinite, but as for Burial At Sea, I choose to think of it more along the lines of a movie like Terminator 3. As a fiction, it's an interesting thought experiment, but it's not what I would consider canon in any way.

yeah i have run into a few instants where a game or movie felt rushed the GI JOE movie was one for example, it felt like they just cut together a bunch of action scene and explosions and called it a movie, there was no real story build up and throughout the entire move it felt like you were being run through it without learning much about any of the characters.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I don't know. I didn't mind GI Joe that much. But like I said, with Burial at Sea, they pretty much wrecked the whole thing in terms of writing.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
well then that means it was merely a cash grab
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I don't know if that's true. After all, they did put a lot of heart into designing the gameplay. It was the story that felt like a rush job. And I imagine the story was rushed primarily because Ken Levine and the rest of the guys at Irrational Games knew they were going to be closing their doors and they wanted to get the DLC out before that happened. Kind of a shame. If they'd had the time to put some actual THOUGHT behind it, they MIGHT have made something truly special.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Bottom line, I don't recommend Burial At Sea. The story is slipshod and the end is unrewarding. This franchise really deserves better. If you do decide to play it, I have no doubt that you'll enjoy the gameplay, but don't give the story too much thought or consider it to be canon with the main game.

Dude, I didn't know this pic was finished. I thought it was still in the planning stages. Nice job. Looking forward to what's next.

Yeah, this pic's pretty much been in my head for a while. And while some aspects took longer to complete than I'd anticipated, I'm still glad it's done.
