"The Handyman is sorely misunderstood by Columbia’s people, as a spectacle and technological wonder, not a person. As Booker walks through the streets of Shantytown, he comes across two Vox posing with the slumped body of a dead Handyman while their friend takes a photograph."
Jack Bromley talks about the Handyman as a tragic figure, and how he fits into the Bioshock: Infinite universe and enhances its narrative themes.
"Plenty have complained that they should have been featured more prominently – as their omnipresence in the trailers suggested – but like the Boys of Silence, they’re placed and distributed so that they can be perfectly appreciated as unique characters and not faceless recurring obstacles."
Twinfinite: “War may never change, but the prices of rare games do!”
"And lastly, famous Boston Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling helped to create the action-RPG’s setting. What’s really fascinating, though, is that the game was partially financed by taxpayers from Rhode Island (which allegedly lost the state millions of dollars). Yikes!"
1. Now infamous Schilling
2. No allegedly, it did. And they couldn't pay it back.
3. What really lost the money wasn't the SP release but the MMO they were working on. This was supposed to be an introduction into the MMO world.
I hate counting limited editions for these lists. I mean, they're made to be rare and expensive. It's far more interesting to hear about the NCAAs (even if most people know that one already) and the El Chavos than some massive hit that came with a $200 statue at retail.
Me too. Here's the best I can do:
El Chavo Kart $90.14
NCAA Football 14 $87.72
Spiderman: Edge of Time $75.94
Spiderman Web of Shadows $75.09
Spiderman: Shattered Dimensions $67.76
Wow, El Chavo Kart is not at all what I expected by the name. 100% looks like a Sackboy Kart game.
It's so odd that so many Spider-Man games are seemingly given lower print runs, even if they're not the best games.
Most Xbox games don’t hold as much value compared to other systems. Kameo, Blue Dragon, Last Remnant , and a handful or 2 of other games that I kept.
One of the biggest TV and movie tropes in the last decade has been the multiverse, the idea of exploring multiple dimensions to uncover alternate versions of existing ideas. From both a business and creative perspective, it makes sense why established franchises are shaking things up in this way.
However, there aren't many video games latching on to this trend, as rendering multiple worlds in real-time is a difficult feat and the medium is relatively young in comparison to its contemporaries, making crossover opportunities more difficult. Still, there are a few great titles that manage enough to overcome these challenges, and here are some of the best examples.
While I love someone mentioning Planescape, not really multiverse. Planes and dimensions, yes. But, they are typically their own locations and are very rarely tied to another 'verse' let alone another plane. The only things that are directly tied are the ethereal and material planes. Otherwise, they are dimensions created of their own design and goals by the creator/owner and not comprised of 'their own version of another dimension'.
See what a side-by-side comparison of Clockwork Revolution vs Bioshock Infinite looks like.
I honestly just saw him as another obstacle. It would have been better if there were to be character development behind that type of enemy. Also with the boys of the silence enemies. They were unique and would have been great as boss battles.
Handyman actually has it worse then Big Daddies.All you seem to be is a head perched up on a robot body.
i hated those bastards hard to kill!!!!!!
The Handyman's cries alone made me want to kill it. So annoying!
