BioShock and Fallout 3 promote music appreciation
David Stonecipher | 4:16 PM on 07.04.2009 15 comments




Dark corners, moody atmospheres, and crazies trying to bash in your brains. These were features that faced gamers is in both 2K games' BioShock and ZeniMax's Fallout 3 yet none of these aspects had as deep and impact as another feature that the two titles shared, and that was the eerie layer of 50's Crooner music played over the games' dark content. Theres simply something surreal about listening to Sinatra while fighting for your life in the dark.

These titles inclusion of this type of music has forever changed how I feel when I hear these oldies. Whether it be on radio or film, every time some old song from this era comes on I start looking over my shoulder, making sure that theres no ghouls lurking behind me.

Hamza, WHERE ART THOU????

@Zippy
Even though they're doing this methodically for the sole purpose of earning their living, they're still not technically breaking any dtoid rules, so we have to live with it I guess.

It just really, really bums me out that the Examiners will never, ever comment or interact with us. It's a damn shame.
Arcanum's Destructoid Blog
You'd think these morons would realize how shitty their writing is if they have to resort to spamming their crap everywhere just to get hits.
8bit Coder's Destructoid Blog
Their writing truly is HORRIBLE. Holy fuck, this one is flat out awful... And... These "articles" are just getting shorter and shorter until it's just going to be one sentence... Fucking hell...
Overcrowd's Destructoid Blog
Yeah, WTF. I expected a fucking lengthy yawnworthy diatribe, not 5 sentences.
EternalDeathSlayer's Destructoid Blog
Somebody message this guy on XBL and let him have it.
PhazonYoshi's Destructoid Blog
This is barely even a comment. I refuse to visit the site out of principal - because the only time a boycott works is on an internet site fishing for hits.

@Magnalon

Surely as a community we can have these people exiled??

You'd think that if there was a unanimous vote, that these are just blocking up our c-blogs, and ruining them, Hamza could have them banned, but it's ultimately his call.

I guess we just have to keep voicing our opinions in their blogs in order to have them banned, or we just "deal with it?"

Ali D's Destructoid Blog
@Magnalon: I think Hamza has said that Cblogs that do nothing but promote other sites or self-publication aren't going to be tolerated.
