BioShock (series)/Nightmare Fuel: Difference between revisions

Line 34:

* The audio diaries.... The fact that you hear and know what's going on without seeing it, and therefore forces you to fill in what's happening in your mind has a creepy 'radio-drama' feel to it: (Ex: "Doctor! Stop cutting!" or "Break her neck for me, {{spoiler|would you kindly?}}")

* One of the many Plasmids you can pick up allows you to summon a swarm of bees to distract your enemies and deal some damage over time. These bees ''erupt from your arm'' in a fairly gruesome way. To quote the wiki:

{{quote| "In BioShock Insect Swarm manifests itself as [[Squick|multiple honeycomb-like pods of reddened flesh on Jack's hand and wrist, with half a dozen hornet-like insects crawling along them."]]}}

{{quote|"In BioShock Insect Swarm manifests itself as [[Squick|multiple honeycomb-like pods of reddened flesh on Jack's hand and wrist, with half a dozen hornet-like insects crawling along them."]]}}

* Having to use those oh-so-sterile needles. Bonus for getting fear of needles and fear of disease at the same time.

** [[Fridge Horror]] sets in when you find one of Sinclair's audio diaries in ''[[Bioshock]] II''. All of his EVE needles were made by junkies for a dime each. Then he sold them for a dollar each to Ryan...

Line 49:

* The part before you go to the medical pavilion. Andrew Ryan talking to you, and then an army of splicers is banging on the door obviously baying for blood, the door won't open, and then the glass starts to crack...

* There's the recording 'Not What She Wanted,' in which [[Deadly Doctor|Steinman]] conducts what is presumably his first unnecessary surgery, whistling away.

{{quote| '''Nurse''': Uh, doctor, she's not booked for a face lift ... Doctor ... stop cutting ... DOCTOR, STOP CUTTING! GET ME THE CHIEF OF SURGERY! GET ME THE CHIEF OF SURGERY NOW!}}

{{quote|'''Nurse''': Uh, doctor, she's not booked for a face lift ... Doctor ... stop cutting ... DOCTOR, STOP CUTTING! GET ME THE CHIEF OF SURGERY! GET ME THE CHIEF OF SURGERY NOW!}}

** And when you encounter Steinman for real:

{{quote| ''"What can I do with this one, Aphrodite? She [[Punctuated for Emphasis|WON'T! (STAB!) STAY! (STAB! and TWI-I-I-ST!) STILL!!!]]" I wanna make them beautiful, but they always turn out WRONG! ''That'' one, too ''fat'', this one, too ''tall'', THIS one, too [[Oh Crap|symmetrical]]! And now...what's this, goddess? An intruder! He is ''ugly!'' (Pulls out Thompson) ''UGLY! UGLY! [[Rain of Arrows|UGLY!!!'']] Look at you! HIDEOUS!''}}

** and when you finally put him down:

** How about as soon as you step into his pavilion?

{{quote| Ghost: *pounding on closed door* You promised me pretty, Steinman! YOU PROMISED ME PRETTY! Now look at me! ''LOOK AT ME!''}}

{{quote|Ghost: *pounding on closed door* You promised me pretty, Steinman! YOU PROMISED ME PRETTY! Now look at me! ''LOOK AT ME!''}}

** And as soon as you go through that door, you're greeted by three portraits, which have dashed outlines and large pairs of scissors angled over certain parts of their faces, copious amounts of red paint everywhere (too bright to be blood), and on the floor..."Above all, do no harm." Even worse, if you position yourself half behind a column while looking at one of the pictures (of a woman looking to the right), the picture changes and she's ''looking right at you''.

** [[It Gets Worse]]. Due to the founding principles of Rapture, Dr. Steinman wouldn't have been bound by the Hippocratic Oath anyways. He is either specifically calling attention to the fact he is going out of his way to violate it or so screwed up that he legitimately thinks what he is doing is helping.
