Thread: Bioshock Theme

Tweet

I love this idea! I hope you use the game music!

Haunted Horror, those would be awesome invitations! Working on that idea as we speak and I'll see how I can incorporate those. As I said before, the RSVP or the introduction will definitely ask "Would You Kindly..." Multiple pictures to give an idea of the environment are also in the works.

Sugar Skull, I know I can't use those syringes, but they'd be sweet as props. Our shots will be in specific jello shot syringes (might make some customizations) and a new twist, the shotgun shooters this year. Yeah, my parties are a little more on the "party" side as well as themed! I'm waiting on the materials to get here to build an ADAM syringe. I haven't seen one yet that allows one to actually drink from it. They all fasten via the lid to the body of the pump handle and epoxy the nipple on the traditional "bottom" of the bottle. I'm working on changing that. Lot of materials to get, though. I need my handle to get here before I can order most of them. However, I did get a vintage baby bottle off E-bay today.

Side note on E-bay: Watching an auction right now for a poster of Jasmine Jolene and it's almost over. Thing will go for around $40. Ouch! I want it, but not that bad.

Going to make labels for goodies, too. Pep bars, creme cake, specific wine bottles from the different wineries in Rapture. All the little stuff is obvious. Now to figure out the actual environments...

Yeah, I'm thinking the clear bubbles as well. Trying to figure out if I can get them slightly colored and put some LED lights inside for a better glow.

Oh yeah! I've got the soundtracks for both 1 and 2. For those that haven't heard them, they are top notch. Sinatra, The Andrews Sisters, Tchikovsky... they really did their homework for this franchise. I've also got to go through a bunch of files that have the actual sounds from the first game as well. Audio Diaries, background sounds, etc.

Only Bioshock can make me get jittery and break out in goose bumps whenever I hear, "How Much Is That Doggie In The Window?"! I'll never listen to that song the same way again.

You can buy jello shot injectors

Hey Goombah,
40 is a bit much for it lol, but to the right person I suppose it's worth it... I do like the idea of illuminating the bubbles some how. Have you thought about using a bubble machine? I've got one and it's pretty sweetass but the only issue is it can make hardwood/laminate floors slippery if used for too long. I've been wanting to use blacklight bubbles but can't find it anywhere in Canada, and I'm not looking to spend an insane amount of money over ebay. The vintage baby bottle sounds cool! And also there's nothing wrong with the more "party"side of a party lol YD

Yep, barproducts.com is a winner for all of our necessities! Everyone should check that site for their drinkware and supplies.

I got my gas pump handle for the Adam syringe today. It perfectly matches the ones in the games. However, the thing is pretty heavy! And once I add the liquid in the bottle it'll get more so. My wife is going to have to hit the gym to carry that thing around. I give a shot at building it out next week. I'll document how I'm doing. For a first class build, check out this guy's syringe:

Search his site. He made easily the most incredible Big Daddy costume I've ever seen. He is unreal.

I was thinking about a bubble machine, but not really sure because we don't like all the soap residue on the carpet and wood floors. However, it may become an option if, as I'm tending, we use the garage as well. No harm except the concrete floor could get a little slippery. Fog machine is a definite and I need to build a chiller.

I believe our graphic artist is on board for our main mural. Just need to get that figured out. Probably adapt a Big Daddy, Little Sister, and a Splicer in some kind of scene that really draws people in. Have to incorporate the undersea part as well. Black lights are all over our house and implementing the glow of the sister's eyes and the red of the Daddy's helmet should work really well. Then the rest of the decorating can take it further.

great idea , great games - looking forward to seeing how this turns out
oh and i almost shot pop out of my nose when i saw the cat pic -
frickin funny

That guy's syringe looks intense o.o and heavy lol. I want one now. I'm scopin out his other entries and I think I might bookmark him lol. The Lady Gaga thing is funny, it just shows how terribly un-original she really is. I can't wait to see your progress!!

Halloween_sucks_in_the_UK- That's awesome that you found a Canadian seller!! The unfortunate thing is they only sell it 1 oz, I'd have to buy a few of them, but they have so many other awesome products too! Like a Space Invader door mat!! Thanks XD

This also is a pretty cool Bioshock-related invitation I found online:
