Somewhere along the way of watching Rio, I realized that I had actually started OC characters for MR. This was weird. XD (The characters were named after cities, Rio being one of them.)
Interestingly enough, one chick has Asperger's, one is narkleptic, one is klepto, and a legitimate narcissist. Names changed but fun little personality disorders it seems, did not.
How I spend my free time...
*sings*
"My momma told me when I was young...we are all bored half the time!"
"She took my comp out, put some Beatles on, told me to make up a rhyme!"
"It doesn't matter if you're pocket's full, because most of life is pretty dull!"
"So shut up, boy, and make up a song; believe me and you won't go wrong!"
"I'm ill at ease with the way, God never gave us a say,"
"With how we're entertained, baby, cause we're bored this way!"
"I'll never truly get, the way our lives are set,"
"So that they're bland, baby, cause we're bored this way!"
"Play Xbox with my feet, cause hey! Baby I am bored today! Baby I am bored this way!"
"Say everything in haiku, cause hey! Baby I am bored today! Baby I am bored this way!"
I had a strange realization last night while wandering around the wards in Persephone.
"Hey, what's that tube thing?"
"Oh my god that's an iron lung."
"Oh shit, they had polio in Rapture, didn't they?"
In the same city where you can shoot bees out of your hands, kids were still probably catching polio.
...The sad thing about that?
The irony was almost certainly intentional.
Yes, the level designers (I actually looked up video game developers on wikipedia so I could use the right term) actually thought to put that little bit of irony in their game.
The vaccine was still in trials, I think, at the time things went apeshit in Rapture, so...
But you'd really think that someone would've given a fuck about curing polio. Nope. Iron lungs it is!
Or, there's the fact that it's a city under the sea who had maintenance divers who could get the bends?
Honestly, Nathan, this is Rapture. Have more faith.
