Ever come across pictures or stuff that just remind you of BioShock? If you have, post them here. =)
I came across this AWESOME private library that just screams BioShock. Here's a few pics.

I'll get back to this when my button-happy hands isn't so hellbent on firing-up the GameCube..I'm really into this kind of stuff and if I was wealthy, I'd have a huge library like that too. Hell, I'd build a house to look like something RIGHT out of Rapture. Lol. I've came across a lot of pictures that just yell BioShock. I'll post some later.

I found it on google.
There's this Art Deco place in Victoria, AU. that has some GREAT stuff to see. I'd like to go there.
Hector Rodriguez (one of our members) has been to it and I'm sure he has more info about it. Here's the site.
This picture reminds me of Fort Frolic though.

I agree! That really well made fantrailer for the Bioshock movie uses a lot of clips from movies that look alike like Rapture. The clips used are from, "City of Lost Children," "Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow," "Casshern" "Dark City," "Cast Away," "James Cameron's Aliens of the Deep, An IMAX Film," "iRobot," "Silent Hill," and "Artificial Intelligence."
Nice pictures, by the way! I can't wait to see City of Ember
I've been wanting to watch that movie. It DOES look a lot like BioShock.
~Mari.
That's what I said! I feel worried because if and when the Bioshock movie becomes a reality, movie snobs who haven't played are going to turn up their noses and say,
"Well, they're just copying City Of Ember"
Oh well.
I was in Orlando last week, and my family ate @ Rainforest Cafe. While there, my oldest daughter noticed that the fountain (which is in every restaurant) looked like "that statue that's in that game you're always playing". Surprisingly, it really does. Unfortunately, I didn't have a camera with me, at the time. But I have found a couple of nice pics online of the fountain. Enjoy.

Whoa! These are great too. Especially that last one.
~Mari.
Wow that is so Bioshock like, especially that 'Electricity' plaque
I don't know if anyone remembers this but...
When I was a kid, there was a ride at Epcot in Orlando called "Horizons" and on it, there was a section where you went through an underwater city. It was a bit more 50's-futuristic than Rapture but it piqued my interest about that sort of thing at a young age.
That ride doesn't exist any more (so says wikipedia) but it made me think about how awesome it would be if there were a Bioshock ride.
Sea Life Centre- Brighton
The Sea Life Centre in Brighton, England feels really Rapture-ish to me.

--and a real life Bathysphere. looks kind cramped.
Metropolis. (no, not Clark Kent's. Fritz Lang's 1929 movie, which in some ways is more like Bioshock than Atlas Shrugged.. Watch it, it's worth it.)

I too encourage the watching of this amazing film!
Whenever I see a crazy ugly person they remind me of splicers, does that count?
those are good diane, the dark atmoshphere and the water reminds me of when you first step out of the bathysphere into rapture.
Yeah, New York is filled with Art Deco. I've never been there, but I'd love to someday. I love Hollywood as well, it just screams Art Deco. Like the Argyle Hotel in L.A.Wow that is so Bioshock like, especially that 'Electricity' plaque
Argyle Hotel
Argyle Hotel Pool
Wow, those are great!
Haha! Nice!

Not wishing to plug my own site or anything, but I recently did a piece on some of the hidden symbolism in the game.
The more I research, the more I'm amazed at the sources and literary references 2K Games managed to cobble together into one cohesive whole. In fact, I'd be willing to go as far as saying it's a work of art.
Anyway, anyone notice the 'Iceman Cometh' reference in Fort Frolic? Well, turns out a Dutch artist by the name of Folkert de Jong did an art exhibition called 'The Iceman Cometh'. Here is a picture where I compare Folkert's work with that of Sander Cohen's art:
http://popularsymbolism.files.wordpr...cometh-big.jpg
Not only that, but this art gallery was exhibited in 2001 in the James Cohan Gallery. James Cohan = Sander Cohen, get it?
Another one:

I have done several blog posts on BioShock. Check it out if you're interested.
