A Bioshock 2 Chicago Event
There's a real life gathering hosted by 2k at Navy Pier in Chicago this Saturday the 9th in chicago. They've hosted a few events like this in boston/new york and you get shwag and there's some other VERY cool stuff there.
Is anyone from around the midwest interested in going? I mean, they have a guy in a big daddy suit with a WORKING drill. That's pretty badass.

Hahahaha, anyway.
I think it sounds like fun. I'd love to go with someone though. So I don't feel completely gay.

Re: A Bioshock 2 Chicago Event
the pictures from the other events look ammmmmazing little sister looks creeeeeeepy. unfortunately, after the meet and greet is done, there's a rapturian cocktail hour. now, i really wanna get drunk with a big daddy and a little sister while contemplating how to kill all the splicers and where i should attack the big daddy from... but magus APPARENTLY is not old enough... wtf... i know. so, hopefully if we walk in with a gigantic metallic man with a working drill, the bar won't check ids. or it will not be somewhere where 21 is required...

That is the Big Daddy protecting the Little Sister. I tried stealing her and just look what happened.
That, ladies and gentlemen, is me dressed as a splicer facing down a Big Daddy. And yes. That drill is actually spinning. I got this.

The Album on Photobucket: http://s166.photobucket.com/albums/u83/ ... /Bioshock/
Summary: What an amazing day that 2k had planned for us. I literally can't believe how much time an effort a videogame company put into it's real world community when the game hasn't even come out yet!
My day started off picking up 2 strangers whom I'd never met just to attend the event. We were all coming from over 3 hours away and were connected by the thread of a Bioshock addiction. We had a blast on the drive down talking, speculating, and swapping Bioshock stories on the drive down.
We arrived in Chicago about an hour and a half before the event, which was good because it took ages to find affordable parking! After we had managed, though, we headed over to the local Subway and grabbed a bite to eat. We all got dressed in our costumes there, and headed to Navy Pier! The walk was very cold in costumes because it was only about 5 degrees and REALLY cold.
After searching for the entrance to the Family Pavilion on Navy Pier, we managed to find a way in through mc donalds. Upon entering the pavilion we were greeted by many other splicers, quite a few of which were in costume. We all sat around and made introductions and talked for about 10 minutes before this strange guy came up to us and asked us what we were all dressed up for. Upon telling him it was for a videogame, he said, "I don't like video games." When explaining to him why he'd like this one, he said, "I think I have something you'd like to see then."
Out walks Delta. Out walks Little Sister. Completely AMAZING costumes *I was most jealous of her syringe, I'd pay alot of money for that* and Delta's drill really DID spin. We got a 45 minute photo op. with them both. The little sister would walk around and occassionally say things like, "Look Mr. Bubbles, ADAM!" and "Splicer Mr. B, Get him!" It was increadible.
After our op. we took a shuttle to Lasalle's club in chicago. We met with the other 20ish people who were there from the 2k forums and were the die-hards. We all drank/ate on 2k's dime, including Rapture-themed drinks and some delicious appitizers. There was a costume contest where they gave out 2 increadibly life-like masks from the game. We sat around and socialized and talked with Promo Mike *head of 2k's promo department/games developement* and picked his head for secrets. Of course, he wasn't telling.
It was an amazing time, I wouldn't have missed this for anything.
