Art Deco creations from the game BioShock

[SteveDeco]

World War 2 could have been so much more stylish with my newly designed Art Deco fragmentation Grenades


(I've gone all "Art Deco" after playing Bioshock. )

 

[kpreed]

Welcome!

Enjoy your stay and thanks for a great Grenade.:eusa_clap

 

[surely]

very cool; would make a to die for butane lighter. eh?

 

[Diamondback]

Well, it'd sure cut way down on the number of "...tripped on his own grenade" incidents!lol

Welcome aboard!

 

[SteveDeco]

Just imagine Art Deco warfare...

The standard feelings of fear, dread and excitement would be mixed with one of decadence as you tossed this beautiful bomblet towards the enemy after briefly swirling your 5 star brandy to savour its aroma. Why surely even if you were on the receiving end, your death would be so much more meaningful with a nice chrome Art Deco motif embedded into your face rather than some dreary functional chunk of steel.


If you haven't played Bioshock I would recommend having a look. It's an amazing under sea city Art Deco vision.

Try to get that past airport security. lol

Classy carnage

 

[TraderRic]

That's too funny! :eusa_clap I can picture the explosion of seed pearls and rhinestones.

 

[Feebeeps]

Thats great! Very well done.

p.s. I understand very well how Bioshock can influence one's art

 

[carebear]

War may be hell, but there's no reason it can't be stylish...

 

[carter]

These will hit the market with a bang.

Shrapnel as an art form. hmmm.....

Welcome to the Lounge.

 

[carter]

An explosive new product line?

I can see the line forming for Deco Munitions.

What will you post next?

NEW YORK, Feb. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- Legacy Recordings will release BioShock® 2, the digital album of music from the latest installment of 2K Games' award-winning video game franchise, on Tuesday, February 9.

BioShock 2 is the eagerly awaited sequel to BioShock, an enormously popular video game franchise that has won more than 50 Game of the Year Awards and shipped over three million units worldwide.

As in the first BioShock, music is a vital subtext of BioShock 2, playing a critical role in establishing the mood, movement and tone of the game. Incorporating jazz and pop classics from the 1930's, 40's and 50's, BioShock 2 introduces a whole new generation of 21st-century gamers to vintage sounds made new in the immersive environment of contemporary interactive entertainment. Just as the game's city of Rapture provides a post-modern dystopian setting for BioShock 2's high-tech video game noir, the music of Rapture is the soul of BioShock 2's evocative and mesmerizing world.

My daughter asked me about what Art Deco was after seeing this game. How great that it's exposing them to styles they never really noticed and music they probably never heard before.
