Bioshock's "Welcome Center Tunnels | February 1, 1955" - Ambient Noise

*USE HEADPHONES FOR FULL EXPERIENCE*
"And with the sweat of your brow, Rapture can become your city as well.”
― Andrew Ryan
YES I AM STILL ALIVE I PROMISE i've just been getting married and moving states and jobs and whatever IT'S BEEN STRESSFUL, OKAY??? ?
So Debussy's "Clair de Lune" has been playing in my head for about a month now and I thought it'd work perfectly with Rapture's pre-fall ambiance, so I did that. Maybe now I'll be able to move onto other things. Like viewer requested videos. Like that.

[@legacy6329]

Oh do i wish for a open world Bioshock game. The peace and tranquillity of the distant music echoing down the halls. Hearing the water against the glass. The soft sounds of footsteps sounding in tune with the music. Passing by a stranger and saying a quick "good evening" and continuing on your daily tasks. The occasional couple dancing in Fort Frolic or Arcadia gardens. Families going out for dinner at the new diner. Big daddies keeping everyone safe. Rapture citizens showing everyone that life in Rapture is fantastic. Not having to walk down a hallway tense and on edge. Just enjoying life freely.

[@LucasHarris]

i'd kill for an open-world Bioshock game. it'd be a mess to plan since the city's sprawling, bUT STILL

[@Palafico3]

That's only for the wealthy in Rapture, sadly. That glowing, golden, structured deco design was always a front for something much more sinister underneath. It would be nice to be a bit more immersed in that side of Rapture for a while though, considering how much we had to suffer the other half.

[@MacGillivray64]

This is where the fun begins almost serene in the sheer imagination of it all. That shows how creative these people were

[@Chillerll]

The perfect setting would be 1958, the time directly before the civil war starts. This way you could see the beautiful aspect of Rapture and the problems slowly emerging in the background. Basically Burial at Sea just with more role-playing elements, open-world and longer of course.

[@mosespray4510]

I loved the little slice of pre-apocalypse Rapture we got to see in part one of 'Burial at Sea.' It left me wanting more.

[@mywifesboyfriend5741]

Fun Fact: Aluminum was used in Rapture's construction instead of steel, which could better handle the ocean's pressures. Not to mention the effects of various sea creatures living on and around the buildings. If Rapture actually existed, even if there had been no splicers, or societal conflicts, it would still have most likely have collapsed into an uninhabitable ruin well before the 1980's. Rapture was a beautiful dream that was always going to become a nightmare.

[@CMage101]

Well, when your "holy trinity" is Art, Science and Industry and your founding motivation is selfishness, it's not that hard to see where you're heading...but the good news is, the handbasket you're traveling in is free...

[@haggard_hermit]

@The Owl Lady Common aluminum alloys' tensile strength ranges from 10,000psi to 75,000psi. So each square inch of aluminum could support - in tension - 10,000 to 75,000 pounds before breaking. Quick google search.

[@Johny40Se7en]

I love the Debussy playing on the piano in the distance, stunning and the chilled deep water noises make it even better.

[@AquaPiratePup]

Don't know if you still read these, but this is absolutely amazing. I hope you never stop making them, because I love to lie in the dark and just imagine myself there, just listening to the music play every night. It's given me a lot of much needed peace, so I really appreciate that. You're amazing!

[@LucasHarris]

oh, i always read these. it's the least I can do , especially between absences. sorry for being gone for so long; outside life takes presidence. thank you so much for watching my videos, i really do appreciate your continued support!!

[@danielpercent5434]

I dony know. Something about a beautiful *and leaky lol* underwater city, something about the big saturation divers *big daddies* just walking inside and outside the city, something about the beautiful music, the art, the style, the atmosphere. Its all just...blended so perfectly. God man. It'll take too long for me to become an actual saturation diver *also extremely difficult to get into the field* but if I learn how to scuba dive with an oxygen tank, that'll be fine with me. 😀

Ah, 1955. That was a good year in Rapture, when a fella could be happy with a good woman and a shot of single malt, neat. Nobody was pining away to shoot sparks out of their fingers, and your little sister was just that. I miss those days.
