BioShock and Philosophy: Irrational Game, Rational Book is officialy?

I have known BioShock for several years and still love this game. But I wanted to discuss its pros and cons. Please do not hit)))

Pros Cons

• The graphics are pretty good for the beginning of the 21st century. The whole game world is quite colorful, voluminous and decorative, and the characters are not angular and not crooked.
• The voice acting is nice. Listening to dialogues and audio diaries is a pleasure. Feelings are felt, there is no pretense.
• The world of the game repeats the time that is shown…

Hi, I though it would be fun to gather every parallel versions of things from Columbia and Rapture in one place. These are essentially the same thing only in different universes. If you come up with more please add them in the comments and I will add them later :D

• The city where the game takes place.
• Extreme philosophies.

• Eventually destroyed.

• Leader and founder of their cities.
• Extreme ideals
• Charismatic and articulate.
• Died for their beliefs.
• Rich. …

Now that the basics have been gone over, we can look at how these physics theories are use in BioShock Infinite. First off, BioShock Infinite is a game, and while it uses real world theoretical physics theories, it obviously isn’t going to follow them exactly. Making a good game is MUCH more important that following a physics theory exactly. And anyone that expects a game to follow real theories 100% has some very unreal expectations at best.

Let’s get the things that don’t come close to matchin…

More than nearly any other game, BioShock Infinite involves a large amount of theoretical physics. This is not to say the physics in the game are the real thing. Just that it draws on many real concepts and theories, particularly those of Quantum Physics.

Something that needs to be stressed is that some people are not going to understand the physics here. Quantum Physics works on ideas and concepts that are very different than what we experience in the everyday world. And there are people that w…

Hi, over the years I have found concept art from the various artist that worked for the games that I can't figure out what they depict. As we have seen time and time before, sources tend to die out, making the images gone forever, so I decided to save them on my computer and now share them with you. I've have listed them here so we have the concepts archived until we figure out what they depict. I will likely add more and feel free to add any picture you might know of in the comments and I will…

The fact that the wiki background doesn't fully fit the screen, bothers me and I don't think it looks too good. I was wondering if there's any chance a fullscreen picture could be used instead? I'm sure it would look much better than the current one. (Kelis98 (talk) 02:49, September 1, 2019 (UTC))

It's odd that this wiki has no discussion page, it's not that hard to add, and would make discussions lot easier. (Kelis98 (talk) 18:32, August 20, 2019 (UTC))

Should we have the title for a disambiguation page include the word disambiguation? So that way when one clicks on it, they know it leads to two or more different pages?

Hi, my name is Yukon Smith and I have been looking through the pages when I noticed that there is an image needed category for the disambiguation pages. I was wondering f we could take those categories down because there really is no point of having images within a disambiguation page. What do you all think? Thank you for your time!

I must remark, that even though I've only been here for a couple of months, the outstanding quality and devotion to the wiki, by a small group of people... is most impressive. I heartily keep urging the community to continue to support this wiki, as it was truly made by a love to the Bioshock franchise, and a unique outlook on writing.

As you might've seen, has been broken for quite a while now, working not quite right. Its main issues are its, now awkward, placement, the tendency to cover content that resulted from the move and the fact that it would mostly show an empty square with no icons in it.

Luckily for us, the handy folks over at the Fandom Developers Wiki have a replacement for us. Using the EraIcons script, we can now place the icons where they originally were. I've created a demo at Template:Games/replacement, whi…
