The Best Big Daddy Cosplay

Harrison Krix in his Bioshock costume.I’m not into cosplay, but I love all the Flickr galleries dedicated to this kind of stuff. I found this one from the Reddit front page today and found myself overwhelmed with the outcome. The model, as you can see, is a near -perfect replica of Big Daddy from Bioshock, but there’s a living breathing human inside.

His name is Harrison Krix. His name is Harrison Krix. His name is…well yeah, it’s Harrsion Krix. Krix is a graphic designer from Atlanta who designs props for a living and also takes commission work. This project, though, was just for fun. You should give his blog a lengthy look-see. He fully details the method for making this monstrosity, and you can also see his other projects. The Portal gun is particularly cool. So is the weathered Kraken club. Harrison is the type of guy that makes me wish I was a whole lot more artistically inclined. Did I mention the drill arm (on Big Daddy) actually drills?

Bioshock 2 Gets Pushed to 2010

Bioshock 2 logo.It’s no big surprise to see major titles get pushed back by publishers. That’s what’s happening with the sequel to Take Two Interactive’s smash hit Bioshock, the appropriately named Bioshock 2. Originally scheduled for an early November release, the company now says we won’t get back into their super-creepy world until the first half of 2010.

Take Two says the game is being delayed to “provide additional development time for the title.” Again, not something so uncommon for a sequel, especially for something as big as Bioshock 2. I’m happy to let them take their sweet time on the game if it means it will hold a candle to its older sibling.

The truly disappointing news is for investors. In an apology for the delay, Take Two Chairman Strauss Zelnick had this to say: “We recognize that our revised outlook for the balance of fiscal year 2009, due to both internal and external factors, is a disappointment. That said, we concluded that moving the release of BioShock 2 into fiscal year 2010 was the right decision for the product.”

The delay means we’ll be seeing plenty of heavy-hitters from Take Two next year. Their 2010 lineup now includes Bioshock 2, Mafia II, Max Payne 3, and whatever other titles remain as yet unannounced. Even if we disregard those unnamed titles, 2010 is going to be a very big year for Take Two.
