Telltale Games

Comrade Pants · 04/01/2010, 02:15 pm

I am Andrew Ryan, and I am here to ask you a question. Is a man not entitled to the sweat of his brow?

'No,' says the man in Washington, 'it belongs to the poor.'
'No,' says the man in the Vatican, 'it belongs to God.'
'No,' says the man in Moscow, 'it belongs to everyone.'

I rejected those answers. Instead, I chose something different. I chose the impossible. I chose...

Rapture.

A city where the artist would not fear the censor,
where the scientist would not be bound by petty morality,
where the great would not be constrained by the small.

And with the sweat of your brow, Rapture can become your city, as well.

That's right, effective immediately, I am accepting applications to join me here in Rapture. The time is now, it is time to rebuild. My city will live again, friends... AND YOU'RE INVITED!

Rather Dashing · 04/01/2010, 02:17 pm

Mr. Ryan

What do you plan to do about the smell of rotting bodies?

Also:

Um

the angry murderous death monsters.

Also this already failed once so your track record isn't that great.

Secret Fawful · 04/01/2010, 02:19 pm

I reject your reality and I substitute my own.

*Irishmile* · 04/01/2010, 02:21 pm

I don't get it

*GuruGuru214* · 04/01/2010, 02:22 pm

Yeah...I've seen what you're capable of when pushed. In particular, there was that stunt you pulled when you killed off Arcadia. I don't want to be around for a repeat of that one. No thanks.

Mr Dashing, to be perfectly honest, you aren't invited. You have a history of being somewhat confrontational, and your sort ruined my city the first time around. NO RAPTURE FOR YOU.

You, however, seem to not buy into Objectivism. I'm sorry for your loss, but if you do want to visit a scenic underwater metropolis, may I recommend Ry'leh?

Isn't confrontation and conflict the very backbone of objectivism?

Jen Kollic · 04/01/2010, 02:26 pm

No thanks, I've seen Deep Blue Sea. If the splicers don't get you, the genetically altered sharks will.

Who said anything about sharks? I mean, sure, Suchong and Langford were messing around with giant monster crabs the size of a small bus, but they never enhanced any sharks... that I know of. Wait, that whale that you see coming into the city in the first game. I remember now. It used to be a great white!

Good gravy, that movie was hilarious. I love the part where the sharks "learn" to swim backwards.

It's even funnier considering that they can't physiologically do that! It's one of the best unintentional comedies ever.

Can I expect to get welfare checks in Rapture?

I go there every spring to have tea with Cthulhu. Nice place to visit (a bit overrated) but I wouldn't want to live there.

No more than you can expect capital punishment, rigged trials, censorship or nationalisation of businesses.

He's really a great guy to go golfing with, if something of a lousy neighbour. Always with the noise complaints, that one.

Yay! Welfare checks for Mr. Dashing!

Also, I want ice cream.

And a pony.

Can I get a piggy-back ride?

I don't know... what kind of internet connectivity do you get down there?

Sure. Sure you can, just ask a Big Daddy... Parasite.

Um... We totally have a T1 line, totally. Also, that new 400 terabyte or whatever line that Cisco or someone is coming out with, only we invented it because we're Rapture. Remember; into the city all good things do flow.

SHODANFreeman · 04/01/2010, 05:05 pm

Is it true that we can expect to see Big Grandpas in Rapture soon?
