Zero Punctuation's BioShock Opening

by Michael Zenke { Feb 20th 2008 at 3:15PM }

Ken Levine gave an amazing talk this morning on the process of crafting BioShock's story. There were two video presentations during the course of the talk and one of them was a hilarious mile-a-minute clip from Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw - the twisted mind behind the Escapist's Zero Punctuation. We have a video of the clip, which was introduced by Levine as "their original idea for how to start BioShock", below the cut.

That was hilarious. But it is true, some games just throw you in there expecting you to know everything.

Uhhh... I don't think that was the point.

Gotta miss the days of the SNES where the story was in the instruction booklet, eh?

"Uhhh... I don't think that was the point."

Can't understand it, hopefully it will be up with the other stuff he's doing for GDC at the Escapist.

Yeah, the echo combined with a rapid British-turned-Aussie dialect really doesn't make for good listening

Alex M @ Feb 20th 2008 5:23PM

The videos will be posted on The Escapist site at midnight.

I can't understand a word from all the echo.

LiK @ Feb 20th 2008 3:44PM

that is pure PWNAGE! LOLzz...

FoxHoundADAM @ Feb 20th 2008 3:55PM

Yeah it's hard enough to follow Yahtzee without the echo.

panzerjedi @ Feb 20th 2008 3:55PM

They used a Mac. Good for them!

dan stabbingworth @ Feb 20th 2008 4:03PM

OMG! PCs lack video playback capabilities! I need a laptop in a manila envelope to do such hardcore processing!!!

Anticrawl @ Feb 20th 2008 4:17PM

Hahaha, Apple fanboys are simply the worst.

Ignatius @ Feb 20th 2008 5:27PM

Yeah, screw PCs man, let's whip out some MacBook Air and play Crysis, no point in having a PC if Macs are apparently the standard.

rofl.

Zachary Hinchliffe @ Feb 20th 2008 6:00PM

it's people like you that make me ashamed to use Apple products.

Mac's are only used for music production, graphics and development. But PCs are capable of so much more. An AirBook would simply NEVER be able to crush Crysis. And with the amount of time you can spend playing games on a PC, you'll never have to get a Mac.
