<p>Meet Daniel Shenk, our new <em>BioShock</em> Fan of the Month! Want to be the next <em>BioShock</em> Fan of the Month? <a href="http://j.mp/W3JIAQ">Click here</a> to find out how!</p>
<p><strong>Location:</strong> Winchester, Virginia</p>
<p><strong>Favorite BioShock Moment:</strong> My favorite <em>BioShock</em> moment is the piano scene in Fort Frolic with Sander Cohen. Although every moment in the game has a different impact, this one particularly stood out. It really gives you that sense of how far gone Rapture is, and just the kind of Character that Sander Cohen is. Plus &#8220;Cohen&#8217;s Masterpiece&#8221; on piano is phenomenal.</p>
<p><strong>Most Prized BioShock Possession:</strong> I would have to say my most prized <em>BioShock</em> possession is the collectors edition for the first game. It&#8217;s what started it all for me.</p>
<p><strong>First Game Ever Played:</strong> The very first game I played was Donkey Kong on the Atari 2600.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Soon after <em>BioShock Infinite</em> was first announced, we worked with Game Informer to come up with <a href="http://www.gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/2010/09/04/october9981-cover9981-revealed9918.aspx">three unique covers</a> that “&#8230;showcase what a video game magazine might have looked like on Columbia in the early 1900s.” Each of our three Game Informer covers was created by none other than Senior Character Concept Artist, Robb Waters. Putting his incredible talent on display, his individual covers became many fans first look at the art-style and direction for what <em>BioShock Infinite</em> would become.</p>
<p>Recently, we released a handful of <a href="http://www.bioshockinfinite.com/media/" target="_blank">alternate covers</a> for our fans to download and print, but we thought we could go one step further. We asked Robb to create a one-of-a-kind piece, and after distilling his vigor, he&#8217;s created the amazing custom PlayStation 3 inlay seen below.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img class="aligncenter" title="temp_RobbWaters" src="http://irrationalgames.com/files/2013/04/temp_RobbWaters.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="303" /></p>
<p>Yes, that is the Handyman with his little pet (Bella), and this is the only one that will exist, ever. This is not a photocopy or a lithograph print—this is an original graphite-on-paper drawing, and Robb even signed a certificate of authenticity denoting this as the only one in existence. Created within the same dimensions as a PlayStation 3 inlay, this will be trimmed and placed inside a US PlayStation 3 version of the game for shipping.</p>
<p>We’re spinning this web of a story because one of our lucky fans will become the <strong>only person in the world</strong> to own this unique artwork. For your chance to win, post a comment below, and tell us about your favorite moment with the Handyman from <em>BioShock Infinite</em>.</p>
<p>See the full official rules below.</p>
<p><em>All entries must be posted by May 20th, 2013 @ 11:59PM ET to be considered. Irrational Games will pick one (1) random commenter from all entrants to win the listed prize. Only one entry per username is permitted for this giveaway, and each individual may only have one IrrationalGames.com account. You must be aged 17 and older, and not a Take Two / 2K Games / Irrational Games employee, or affiliated with an Irrational Games employee to be eligible. Winner will be contacted via private message on their registered IrrationalGames.com account to claim their prize.</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center"><em>“Songbird, Songbird, see him fly. Drop the children from the sky.<br />
When the young ones misbehave, escorts children to their grave.”</em></p>
<p>More than just a mere Columbia child’s fable, your very own Songbird Plushie can now be <a href="http://j.mp/10jX2E1" target="_blank">pre-ordered directly from the Irrational Games store</a>. We’ve teamed up with NECA Toys (creators of the <a href="https://store.irrationalgames.com/Product.aspx?pSKU=2K-INF-SKYHOOK&amp;vSKU=2K-INF-SKYHOOK">Replica Sky-Hook</a> and the <a href="https://store.irrationalgames.com/Product.aspx?pSKU=2K-BS-LIZ-FIGURE&amp;vSKU=2K-BS-LIZ-FIGURE">Elizabeth</a> &amp; <a href="https://store.irrationalgames.com/Product.aspx?pSKU=2K-BS-SILENCE-FIGR&amp;vSKU=2K-BS-SILENCE-FIGR">Boys of Silence</a> figures) to create this Songbird Plushie, exclusively available at the Irrational store.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><a href="http://irrationalgames.com/files/2013/05/Songbird_IG.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-35681 aligncenter" title="Songbird_IG" src="http://irrationalgames.com/files/2013/05/Songbird_IG.jpg" alt="" width="438" height="296" /></a></p>
<p>Sitting at 7” tall, Songbird has an outstretched wingspan of 14” from tip to tip, and allows you to protect everything from a shelf of books, a <em>BioShock Infinite</em> box, or even your very own tiny Columbian citizen from a perch above. This was concepted by Senior Character Concept Artist, Robb Waters. This Songbird is made from materials that were hand-selected to evoke the era-appropriate textures and fabric.</p>
<p>Find full details on how to pre-order your very own plushie <a href="http://j.mp/10jX2E1" target="_blank">HERE</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center"><a href="http://irrationalgames.com/files/2013/04/Ringtones_Banner.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-35461 aligncenter" title="Ringtones_Banner" src="http://irrationalgames.com/files/2013/04/Ringtones_Banner.jpg" alt="" width="438" height="296" /></a></p>
<p>The audio team at Irrational is an inspiring crew, creating emotions and subtle tones out of thin air. While many of our fans have heard some of the iconic songs, there&#8217;s also a number of reoccurring tones and themes that occur via specific actions in-game. Since <em>BioShock Infinite</em>&#8217;s release, we&#8217;ve seen much praise from our fans regarding the soundtrack and subtle interludes, but one request has been popping up time and time again, and we&#8217;re here to deliver with a few custom ringtones taken straight from the game. Inside the downloadable .zip below, you&#8217;ll find the following five tones:</p>
<ul>
<li>Songbird Tune</li>
<li>Songbird Call</li>
<li>Lovers Inflamed</li>
<li>Value Appreciation</li>
<li>Salt Machine Tone</li>
</ul>
<p><strong><a href="http://downloads.2kgames.com/irrational/ringtones/BioShockInfiniteRingtones_MP3.zip">Download .MP3 pack here </a>(<em>For Android and other devices</em>)<br />
<a href="http://downloads.2kgames.com/irrational/ringtones/BioShockInfiniteRingtones_M4R.zip">Download .M4R pack here </a>(<em>For <em>iOS devices</em></em>)</strong></p>
<p>We also have two more ringtones available exclusively <a href="http://majornelson.com/2013/04/26/bioshock-infinite-sounds/" target="_blank">via Major Nelson</a>:</p>
<ul>
<li>Step On Up</li>
<li>New Objective</li>
</ul>
<p>We&#8217;re looking at potentially creating another batch of these as well, so if you have any specific requests, post a comment below and let us know. Please note that we generally cannot use specific songs from the game or in-game voices for ringtones.</p>

<p>Meet Ryan Frandsen, our new <em>BioShock</em> Fan of the Month!</p>
<p><strong>Location</strong>: Phoenix, Arizona</p>
<p><strong>Favorite <em>BioShock</em> Moment</strong>: My favorite <em>BioShock</em> moment is actually the first 10 minutes of the game. That introduction to Rapture blows my mind every time I see it.</p>
<p><strong>Most Prized <em>BioShock </em>Posession:</strong> My most prized possession involving <em>BioShock</em> is the Ultimate Rapture Edition, I love how the first one has a museum included with info I didn&#8217;t even know about until now.</p>
<p><strong>First Game Ever Played:</strong><em> </em>The first game I ever played was <em>Sonic the Hedgehog</em>, I was 2 years old. My cousin had it and when she walked away from the SEGA Genesis, I picked up the controller and just pushed every button. That first level music was in my head ever since.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A few months ago, <a href="http://irrationalgames.com/insider/poll/" target="_blank">we asked our fans to vote</a> on your favorite alternative cover that would come with all copies of BioShock Infinite. Design #4 ended up winning with 38% of the vote, and can be seen upon opening up your very own case. As originally promised, though, we&#8217;re now making every cover from the original voting process available for download and printing, along with a few more custom designs.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><a href="http://www.bioshockinfinite.com/media/#jinlays" target="_blank"><img class="size-medium wp-image-35006 aligncenter" title="AltBoxArt" src="http://irrationalgames.com/files/2013/04/AltBoxArt_479-439x195.jpg" alt="" width="439" height="195" /></a></p>
<p>To view them all, and to choose your platform of choice, <a href="http://www.bioshockinfinite.com/media/#jinlays" target="_blank">click here</a>. Please remember to read the printing instructions before downloading, since we would hate to see our fans waste a few nice sheets of glossy paper from a misprint.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Calling all artists!]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the parts of game development that really makes it all worthwhile is seeing the reaction of our fans day after day, year after year, once they get their hands on one of our games. Oftentimes, that feedback turns into something more, and when combined with some artistic talent, our inboxes fill up with all sorts of fan art in different mediums. We&#8217;ve also realized that while we have this website, <a href="http://twitter.com/irrationalgames" target="_blank">Twitter</a>, and <a href="https://www.facebook.com/IrrationalGames" target="_blank">Facebook</a>, we want to open up the doors to make it easier for our fans to not only send in their works of art, but to have them featured on our website.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><a href="http://irrationalgames.com/files/2013/04/BeastFanArt.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-35046 aligncenter" title="Beast FanArt" src="http://irrationalgames.com/files/2013/04/BeastFanArt.jpg" alt="" width="480" height="246" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center"><em>Above: &#8220;<a href="http://bluehonk.deviantart.com/art/Beast-of-America-361867094" target="_blank">Beast of America</a>&#8220;</em></p>
<p>Beginning next week, we&#8217;re starting our <strong>Weekly Fan Art Roundup</strong>. Our goal is to show off our fan base’s amazing levels of talent, because without our fans we would not be the company we are today. If you would like to create your own submission, simply send an email to <strong><a href="mailto:fanart@irrationalgames.com&amp;subject=Fan Art Submission">fanart [at] irrationalgames.com</a></strong>, and provide us with the following:</p>
<ul>
<li>Your name (real      or otherwise);</li>
<li>A link to your      artwork (<strong>please note that we do not accept attachments</strong>); and</li>
<li>A brief      description of what went into your piece.</li>
</ul>
<p>We&#8217;ll then go through all of the submissions week after week and post a handful for each roundup. Take note that even if you don&#8217;t appear in one during your submission week, there&#8217;s still a chance to show up in future roundups, so you don’t need to resubmit your piece.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><a href="http://irrationalgames.com/files/2013/04/DualFanArt_02.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-35076" title="Dual FanArt" src="http://irrationalgames.com/files/2013/04/DualFanArt_02.jpg" alt="" width="488" height="365" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center"><em>Above: &#8220;<a href="http://sapphire-feather.deviantart.com/art/The-Lamb-s-Vision-359893171" target="_blank">The Lamb&#8217;s Vision</a>&#8221; &amp; &#8220;<a href="http://browse.deviantart.com/art/Fan-Art-The-Lutece-Twins-363585128" target="_blank">The Lutece Twins</a>&#8220;</em></p>
<p>Thank you again to our amazing fans for your hard work and dedication to Irrational Games. We hope this small showcase is one way that we can show our appreciation in return.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center"><a href="http://irrationalgames.com/files/2013/03/BioShockInfinite_SkyBackground_4382.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-34676 aligncenter" title="BioShockInfinite_SkyBackground_438" src="http://irrationalgames.com/files/2013/03/BioShockInfinite_SkyBackground_4382.png" alt="" width="438" height="296" /></a></p>
<p>With <em>BioShock Infinite</em> recently released, there are obviously some questions floating around with regard to the game, and other portions attached to the game. We felt it would be best to compile these Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) into a single post, for easy reference and to help out as many of our fans as possible. This will be a living document, and we&#8217;ll be adding updates to this in the future.</p>
<p>Please note that for any direct technical support, your best option is to contact 2K Support, by <a href="http://support.2k.com/anonymous_requests/new" target="_blank">clicking here</a>.</p>
<h4><span style="text-decoration: underline">[UPDATE - 04/05/13] PC Patch Notes: </span></h4>
<ul>
<li>Fix for occasional crash occurring during startup of the game during opening movies.</li>
<li>Fix for some audio being permanently disabled if a checkpoint is restored while the screen is still faded to black prior to the player&#8217;s first encounter with Daisy Fitzroy.</li>
<li>Fix for user inventory issue in the Town Center fair.</li>
</ul>
<h4><span style="text-decoration: underline">How to redeem in-game rewards for Premium and Ultimate Songbird Editions:</span></h4>
<ol>
<li>(Industrial Revolution only) Fans should login to <a href="http://www.finkmanufacturing.com/">www.finkmanufacturing.com</a>, then click on the “My Rewards” button in the top menu. Once completed, you should see a code for the platform previously specified when your Industrial Revolution was activated.</li>
<li>For any codes specific to PSN/XBL/Steam, please enter your codes into the specific redemption sections for your particular platform.</li>
<li>For any redeemed in-game rewards, they will show up in The Blue Ribbon Bar. Below are directions on how to get there.</li>
<li>To find your in-game items, simply progress through the game, and battle the first Fireman, where you receive the Devil’s Kiss vigor (shortly after the raffle scene). You will then fight through a few enemies on your way to The Blue Ribbon Bar. Upon entering The Blue Ribbon Bar, proceed into the main dining area and there will be 3 tables to the left of the bar. The rewards will be placed on those tables.</li>
</ol>
<h4><span style="text-decoration: underline">How to redeem your Season Pass Early Bird Bonuses:</span></h4>
<ol>
<li>Your 4 pieces of gear (Ghost Soldier, Electric Punch, Ammo Advantage, and Eagle Strike) will be found in the Blue Ribbon Bar, similar to the Industrial Revolution Rewards. If you enter your Season Pass code after you&#8217;ve progressed past the Blue Ribbon Bar, they will be placed in your inventory automatically.</li>
<li>Your 5 Infusion Bottles can be collected from the Blue Ribbon Bar, similar to the Industrial Revolution Rewards.</li>
<li>Your golden weapons are awarded immediately, and will be apparent the moment you pick up both the Machine Gun and Pistol.</li>
</ol>
<p><strong>[UPDATE - 04/08]:</strong> Please note that some PlayStation 3 users in Europe/Australia/New Zealand may need to download a separate &#8220;Early Bird Pack&#8221; via PSN to receive their bonuses.</p>
<h4><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline">Game Related (All Platforms):</span></strong></h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>Do I need to play the      original <em>BioShock</em> or <em>BioShock 2</em> to play and understand <em>BioShock Infinite</em>?</strong>
<ul>
<li>Not at all. <em>BioShock Infinite</em> can be played as a singular experience. Players that have played a <em>BioShock</em> game before might pick up on little inside jokes or nods to other <em>BioShock</em> titles, but <em>BioShock Infinite</em> is its own story that stands by its self.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><strong>Is Steam required for the      PC version of <em>BioShock Infinite</em>? Can I play offline?</strong>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://store.steampowered.com/" target="_blank">Steam</a> is required for the       PC version of <em>BioShock Infinite</em>, and requires a one-time authentication       via an online connection. After that initial authentication, you can then       play in Offline mode as much as you would like via Steam.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h4><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline">Game Related (Xbox 360):</span></strong></h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>How can I get surround      sound using HDMI?</strong>
<ul>
<li>In general for most titles on 360, you will need to use an       Optical Audio (TOSLINK) cable for Surround Sound.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><strong>[UPDATE - 04/19] My game isn&#8217;t saving properly when offline.</strong>
<ul>
<li>One thing to try is to quit out of the game, and reset your system clock to the proper time. Once done, restart your 360, and try playing the game again.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h4><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline">Game Related (PlayStation 3):</span></strong></h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>Can I play <em>BioShock      Infinite</em> with my PlayStation Move controller?</strong>
<ul>
<li>Yes. Select the option in       the control section of the Settings menu upon start up.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><strong>Does <em>BioShock Infinite</em> have full 3D support?</strong>
<ul>
<li><em>BioShock Infinite</em> does       not support 3D modes.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h4><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline">Game Related (PC):</span></strong></h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>[UPDATE - 04/02] &#8211; </strong>Updating to the latest Steam Client may fix a crash during start-up of the game that some fans are experiencing .</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><strong>I get only a black screen      when launching <em>BioShock Infinite</em>.</strong>
<ul>
<li>This could be caused for       a number of reasons, so here’s a few potential solutions:
<ul>
<li>You may be blocking the        Steamworks authentication, which can be solved by turning off        anti-spyware/malware programs, or connecting to Steam in Offline Mode</li>
<li>You may have a video        card driver issue, so be sure to head to nvidia.com or amd.com to        download the newest drivers.</li>
<li>[UPDATE - 04/10] Please try following the instructions below for adding a launch option to your game.
<ul>
<li>In your Steam Library, right click the game and select &#8220;Properties&#8221;, then &#8220;Set Launch Options&#8230;&#8221;</li>
<li>Add &#8220;-windowed&#8221; or &#8220;-fullscreenwindowed&#8221;  (<strong>only choose one, ignore the quotes</strong>), then select &#8220;OK&#8221;.</li>
<li>This will not fix the issue to play in fullscreen mode, but should allow you to play in windowed.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><strong>I’m seeing my game freeze      every few minutes, and sometimes crashing.</strong>
<ul>
<li>We have seen reports on this issue from a small percentage of users.</li>
<li>We have seen users post that using the newest Beta drivers for their particular video card fixed this issue for them, but please       note there are risks involved with Beta software.</li>
<li>Another solution has been       to try lowering your in-game graphical settings and/or resolution.</li>
<li>Please note that we are investigating more solutions for this.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><strong>The audio in my game is      starting to crackle a bit. Can you help?</strong>
<ul>
<li>One fix we have seen is to       go into your audio options and set it to “Vista Compatibility Mode”.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><strong>I’m getting a message      saying that the “…Steam servers are not available at this time.”</strong>
<ul>
<li>To correct this, please       quit out of Steam, turn off any anti-malware / anti-spyware / personal       firewall programs, and then try reconnecting again. Alternatively, some       fans have been able to play by going into Offline Mode after activation.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><strong>I’m having trouble      re-assigning my key bindings.</strong>
<ul>
<li>First, quit out,       disconnect all non-essential controllers, and then try again.</li>
<li>If that doesn’t work, you       can find a potential solution to this issue by <a href="http://forums.2kgames.com/showthread.php?222081-Fix-for-key-bind-error">clicking       here</a>.</li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Earlier this month, the fine folks over at Media Molecule released a “<a href="http://littlebigplanet.com/downloadable_content_items/1045" target="_blank"><em>BioShock</em> Mini Pack</a>” for Little Big Planet, which includes some quite adorable Big Daddy and Little Sister costumes for your individual Sackboy or Sackgirl, as seen below.</p>

<p>They’re back once again with a special <em>BioShock Infinite</em> Costume Pack, featuring Elizabeth, Booker, Songbird, Motorized Patriot, and the Handyman. Songbird may just be my new character going forward, instead of my current zebra-colored alligator.

<p>Say hello to Eileen Meng, our newest <em>BioShock</em> Fan of the Month!</p>
<p><strong>Location</strong>: Quito, Ecuador</p>
<p><strong>Favorite <em>BioShock</em> Moment</strong>: Apart from thinking that the dialogue of all splicers is incredibly funny and interesting, I love it when you are surprise attacked by either a spider splicer  or houdini splicer. That really gets my hair raising and blood flowing.</p>
<p><strong>Most Prized <em>BioShock </em>Posession:</strong> Apart from the games themselves I would have to say: my <em>Bioshock </em>Original Soundtrack! Even when I´m not playing I can still be surrounded by Rapture.</p>
<p><strong>First Game Ever Played:</strong><em> Bart Simpson´s Escape from Camp Deadly</em> on the old school Game Boy when it just came out&#8230;.that kind of makes me feel old.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-34161" href="http://irrationalgames.com/insider/celebrate-with-irrational-games-at-midnight/attachment/midnight_438/"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-34161" title="Midnight Opening" src="http://irrationalgames.com/files/2013/03/midnight_438.gif" alt="" width="438" height="296" /></a></p>
<p>On Monday, March 25<sup>th</sup>, GameStop stores all over the U.S. and EB Games locations in Canada will be holding Midnight Openings for the launch of <em>BioShock Infinite</em>. To make this launch one to remember, we’re sending developers from Irrational Games to five key locations to hang out with our fans, sign copies of the game, and even hand out some free stuff to attendees.* We’re also planning on bringing a few special goodies for our fans who show up in cosplay at the locations below.*</p>
<p>For those of you in the Los Angeles area, we have an even bigger surprise, since <em>Nico Vega</em> will be performing live at 9PM PT, just before the store opens on Universal City Walk. If you’ve watched our recent trailers and TV commercial, you’ve already heard Nico Vega’s song “Beast”, but this is your chance to see them play live.</p>
<p>Here’s the list of our five special locations in North America, but take note that over 3,000 individual GameStop locations will be opening at midnight, so call your store in advance and find out if you can pick up your game early.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><strong>[<a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/353485414761612/" target="_blank">Sign up for the official Facebook Event here</a>]</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Boston:</strong> 40 Winter Street</li>
<li><strong>New York City:</strong> 1282 Broadway</li>
<li><strong>San Francisco:</strong> 830 Market Street</li>
<li><strong>Los Angeles:</strong> 1000 Universal Studios Blvd. Suite 101</li>
<li><strong>Toronto:</strong> 267 Yonge Street</li>
</ul>
<p>We can’t wait to meet our fans at these five locations, and we look forward to sharing stories, taking pictures, and ensuring each of you can walk away into the night happy with your shiny new copy of <em>BioShock Infinite</em>.</p>
<p><em>*While supplies last</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>BioShock Infinite</em> puts players in the shoes of U.S. Cavalry veteran turned hired gun, Booker DeWitt. Indebted to the wrong people and with his life on the line, DeWitt has only one opportunity to wipe his slate clean. He’s one man, alone. And the followers of the Prophet Father Comstock will stop at nothing to keep Booker from his Quarry. But with an arsenal of weapons and the incredible powers granted by Vigors, Booker deals death from above on the Sky-Lines of Columbia. And the girl he’s there to rescue might turn out to be the partner he needs to survive.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There’s one thing that we can’t get enough of and that’s cosplayers.  We love them so much, we even hired one to be <a href="http://irrationalgames.com/insider/we-love-our-bioshock-cosplayers-so-much-we-hired-one/">the official face of <em>BioShock Infinite’s</em> Elizabeth</a>. The problem is, that’s still not enough.  We want to see more and that’s why we’re holding another cosplay contest at this year’s PAX East on <strong>Saturday, March 23<sup>rd</sup></strong>.</p>
<p><a href="http://irrationalgames.com/files/2013/03/PaxEast_cosplay_liz.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-33761" title="Elizabeth Trio" src="http://irrationalgames.com/files/2013/03/PaxEast_cosplay_liz-480x348.jpg" alt="" width="480" height="348" /></a></p>
<p>Here’s how it works: Irrational Games staff will be walking around the show floor of PAX East all day Saturday on the lookout for <em>BioShock-</em> and <em>BioShock Infinite</em>-themed cosplayers. If you get spotted in costume—you’ll receive a wristband with everything you need to know.</p>
<p>This is your chance to finally show off that costume you’ve been working on all winter long. What better way to get a little recognition for it? Keep in mind, there’ll be some stiff competition, so make sure you bring your A game. How else do you expect to win?</p>
<p>What’s that? Don’t have a costume yet? PAX East is a few weeks away so get going!</p>

<p>Here’s the City in the Sky trailer, and a look back at <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/irrationalgames/sets/72157629779530267/">last year’s cosplay competition</a> for inspiration.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://irrationalgames.com/files/2013/02/TF2.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-33341" title="TF2" src="http://irrationalgames.com/files/2013/02/TF2-480x268.jpg" alt="" width="480" height="268" /></a></p>
<p>Pre-order <a href="http://store.steampowered.com/app/8870/" target="_blank"><em>BioShock Infinite</em> on Steam</a> today to help unlock exclusive rewards and free copies of <em>BioShoc</em>k and <em>X-Com: Enemy Unknown</em>!</p>
<p>Who wouldn’t want free games? Well, you’ll be rewarded handsomely when you pre-order <em>BioShock Infinite </em>on Steam.  As if you needed another reason to pre-order, Steam is running a pre-purchase rewards program!</p>
<p>Here’s how it works: if enough people pre-order <em>BioShock Infinite</em>, a free copy of the original <em>BioShock</em> gets unlocked. If that’s not enough, a series of exclusive <em>BioShock Infinite</em>-themed items (details below) in <em>Team Fortress 2</em> will be unlocked if the number of pre-orders reaches the next level.  Lastly, Steam will sweeten the pot by unlocking a free copy of <em>X-Com: Enemy Unknown</em> once pre-orders hit that magic number. Of course, this is in addition to the <em>Industrial Revolution</em> pack that you will receive immediate access to just for pre-ordering!</p>
<p>But to unlock all these rewards, you’ll need to spread the word and work  as a team &#8211; the more people who pre-order, the more rewards gets  unlocked.  Simple enough, right?</p>
<p><a href="http://irrationalgames.com/files/2013/02/TF2-Items.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-33331" title="TF2 Items" src="http://irrationalgames.com/files/2013/02/TF2-Items-480x763.jpg" alt="" width="480" height="763" /></a></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="text-decoration: underline">&#8220;Vox Diabolus&#8221;</span>: &#8220;With this Vox Populi anarchist mask, you can terrify your enemies into thinking you&#8217;re the Devil Himself, or worse, a protestor. Either way, they&#8217;re probably going to avoid you at the entrance to the supermarket when you try to get them to sign something.&#8221;</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>&#8220;<span style="text-decoration: underline">The Pounding Father</span>&#8221; : &#8220;Heavy cannot tell lie. Heavy is first President of United States. Of crushing little baby men.&#8221;</li>

</ul>
<ul>

</ul>
<ul>
<li>&#8220;<span style="text-decoration: underline">The Doe-Boy</span>&#8221; &#8220;Protect the important thoughts in your head &#8212; ones like \&#8221;liberty\&#8221; and \&#8221;freedom\&#8221; and \&#8221;democracy\&#8221; &#8212; with good, honest, hat-shaped American steel. This helmet won&#8217;t run (until heated to 2500°F)!&#8221;</li>

<p>When we first announced <em>BioShock Infinite</em>, we made a promise to deliver a game that was very much a <em>BioShock</em> experience, and at the same time something completely different. And our commitment to making good on that promise, no matter what, has been our driving force for the last three years or so.</p>
<p>You, the fans, have been incredibly patient with us. You shared your hopes and wishes for the game with us, and you kept the faith.</p>
<p>Today, I’m happy to announce that the game has gone gold. What that means is that it has been approved by both Sony and Microsoft (and the PC Gods, natch) to be sent to the manufacturing guys to load up fleets of trucks with <em>BioShock Infinite</em> and be driven to a store near you on March 26th.</p>
<p>The total cost of the game was five years, 941 billion Klingon darseks (plus tip), 47 camels, a cranberry flan, and the blood, sweat, and tears of the Irrational Team.</p>
<p>Nobody has ever built a game quite like this. It’s a shooter, but a shooter that brings you to very uncomfortable and dangerous places. I can’t demand that you play the game; I can promise you, however, that once you have, it will be an experience you won’t soon forget.</p>
<p>Who is Booker, and what is the debt that drives him to Columbia? What are Elizabeth’s powers and why has she been locked up since she was a child? Why does Booker have the letters “AD” branded into his right hand? And what, in God’s name, is the Songbird.</p>
<p>Columbia is a city teeming with mystery. I’m glad to say that one mystery is over: On March 26th, you will be able to play <em>BioShock Infinite</em>.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Get your wallets ready because we got a some great new items coming your way via the Irrational Games Store.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Clear out some space, because we got a some great new items coming your way at the <a href="https://store.irrationalgames.com/">Irrational Games Store</a>.  First up, we have a trio set of lithographs based off of some very notable characters from <em>BioShock Infinite</em>.  You might notice that a couple of these were included in the <a href="http://irrationalgames.com/insider/poll/">reversible cover poll</a> for <em>BioShock Infinite’s</em> official box art. Fun fact, the one of Elizabeth and Songbird received the second highest amount of votes!</p>
<p><a href="https://store.irrationalgames.com/Product.aspx?pSKU=2K-BS-GILITHO-BDL&amp;vSKU=2K-BS-GILITHO-BDL"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-32891" title="Trio Litho" src="http://irrationalgames.com/files/2013/02/Trio-Litho-480x270.jpg" alt="" width="480" height="270" /></a></p>
<p>This trio includes the Handyman, Charles with his murder of crows, and of course Elizabeth and Songbird.   They’ll be available individually as well as an exclusive limited edition set signed by both Creative Director Ken Levine and artist Robb Waters.</p>
<p><a href="https://store.irrationalgames.com/Product.aspx?pSKU=2K-INF-SERIES1-FIG&amp;vSKU=2K-INF-SERIES1-FIG"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-32896" title="NECA_Liz_BoS" src="http://irrationalgames.com/files/2013/02/NECA_Liz_BoS-480x423.jpg" alt="" width="480" height="423" /></a></p>
<p>Available now is series 1 of the <em>BioShock Infinite </em>figures by  NECA. The series includes a highly detailed and articulated Elizabeth  and the Boys of Silence figure. You can finally get these awesome  collectible figures in your grubby little hands.</p>
<p>And it doesn’t end there! Coming soon to the Irrational Games store is the long awaited <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&amp;v=F7ptsXTpfrk" target="_blank">Sky-Hook Replica</a> from NECA.  With this, you can finally ride the Sky-Lines!  Well, not really but you can always pretend.  Keep an eye out for this because they’ll only be available in limited quantities.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&amp;v=F7ptsXTpfrk"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-32901" title="Sky-Hook" src="http://irrationalgames.com/files/2013/02/neca-bioshock-infinite-sky-hook-replica-479x227.jpg" alt="" width="479" height="227" /></a>You can find all this and more at the <a href="https://store.irrationalgames.com/" target="_blank">Irrational Games Store</a>!</p>

		<description><![CDATA[The Ultimate Songbird Edition is almost sold out. Neither GameStop or Amazon have any left.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hey everybody,</p>
<p>The Ultimate Songbird Edition is almost sold out. Neither <a href="http://www.gamestop.com/browse?nav=16k-3-ultimate+songbird+edition,28zu0">GameStop</a> or <a href="http://www.amazon.com/BioShock-Infinite-Xbox-360/dp/B003O6EB70/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1359058263&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=bioshock+infinite">Amazon</a> have any left. If you can find one, I suggest you snap it up. (They’re not even available yet and they’re already listing on eBay for <a href="http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_trksid=p5197.m570.l1313&amp;_nkw=songbird+bioshock&amp;_sacat=0&amp;_from=R40" target="_self">nearly twice their retail price</a>.)</p>
<p>So what if you <span style="text-decoration: underline">can’t</span> get an Ultimate Songbird Edition?</p>
<p>Well, there’s still plenty of awesomeness left. You can still get all the other cool things that come with the Premium Edition:<br />
<a href="http://irrationalgames.com/files/2013/02/Facebook_coverphoto_premium_ed.png"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-32821" title="Premium Edition" src="http://irrationalgames.com/files/2013/02/Facebook_coverphoto_premium_ed-480x177.png" alt="" width="480" height="177" /></a></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Handyman Figurine</strong> – A nice little version of the big bad guy.</li>
<li><strong>Lithograph</strong> – Slick art from within the game.</li>
<li><strong>Murder of Crows Keychain</strong> – Take a little vigor with you wherever you go.</li>
<li><strong>Soundtrack</strong> – Original music from the game.</li>
<li><strong>Upgrade Pack</strong> – Exclusive in-game power-ups.</li>
<li><strong>DLC</strong> – Avatar costumes for 360 and themes for PS3 and PC.</li>
</ul>
<p>And my favorite item, the <strong>Special Edition Art Book</strong>. See how the characters, creatures and world were created by the artists here at Irrational. Take a peek inside and check out this exploration of Elizabeth:</p>
<p><a href="http://irrationalgames.com/files/2013/02/elizabeth_fromartbook.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-32826" title="Elizabeth" src="http://irrationalgames.com/files/2013/02/elizabeth_fromartbook-480x345.jpg" alt="" width="480" height="345" /></a>How do you get your hands on all this?</p>
<p>Operators are standing by…</p>

		<description><![CDATA[We've received some great feedback since the PC requirements for BioShock Infinite were announced last week. Many of you still had burning questions so we compiled a list and had Technical Director Chris Kline provide answers.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-32551" title="BioShock Infinite" src="http://irrationalgames.com/files/2013/01/BI_480x351.jpg" alt="" width="480" height="351" /></p>
<p>We&#8217;ve received some great feedback since the <a href="http://irrationalgames.com/insider/pc-specifications-for-bioshock-infinite-announced/">PC requirements for </a><em><a href="http://irrationalgames.com/insider/pc-specifications-for-bioshock-infinite-announced/" target="_blank">BioShock Infinite</a> </em>were announced last week. Many of you still had burning questions so we compiled a list and had Technical Director Chris Kline provide answers.</p>
<p><strong>Q: Does the game support 120 hertz?</strong></p>
<p><strong>Chris Kline:</strong> If you play the game with the frame rate locked then the game will render at the lesser of the maximum rate that your hardware is capable of, given the current scene and your chosen resolution and graphics options, and the refresh rate of your monitor. If you use the in-game UI option to disable frame rate locking, then the game will only be limited by your hardware and not the monitor refresh rate. For example, if you have a 120 Hz monitor, and your graphics card is capable of rendering the scene at 187 FPS, then the game will render at 120 FPS (if frame rate is locked) or 187 FPS (if unlocked).</p>
<p><strong>Q: Does this title support Windows XP, Vista, 7, or 8?</strong></p>
<p><strong>Chris Kline</strong>: Windows XP is not supported. The PC version requires Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8.</p>
<p><strong>Q: Is it Windows 8 Certified or just compatible?</strong></p>
<p><strong>Chris Kline:</strong><em> </em>Compatible.</p>
<p><strong>Q: Today I learned the PC requirements for <em>BioShock Infinite</em> and that it will come with a bench tool.  If not free, how would I know if it will run?</strong></p>
<p><strong>Chris Kline:</strong> If your PC meets the minimum requirements that we&#8217;ve already announced, you can be confident that the game will be playable on that specification with some combination of settings. How fast the game runs and how beautiful it will look depends on how powerful your PC configuration is. So if your PC is at the low end of the requirements you may need to run at a lower resolution and/or lower some of the configurable graphics quality settings.</p>
<p><strong>Q: How would it run on a GTX460?</strong></p>
<p><strong>Chris Kline</strong>: I have not personally tested with this specific graphics card, and I don&#8217;t have access to your machine, so I&#8217;m not able to give you hard numbers. However, that card is above our minimum requirements for graphics cards. Therefore if your machine meets the other minimum requirements for <em>BioShock Infinite</em>, I believe it will run well.</p>
<p>As a side note, if you&#8217;re interested in checking out how your graphics card compares to our minimum and recommended specifications, here is a helpful comparison chart where more powerful cards are at the top and less powerful ones at the bottom: <a href="http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-graphics-card-review,3107-7.html">Tom&#8217;s Hardware &#8220;Best Graphics Cards For The Money: January 2013 &#8221; Graphics Card Hierarchy Chart</a></p>
<p><strong>Q: What are your plans for widescreen in </strong><strong><em>BioShock Infinite?</em></strong></p>
<p><strong>Chris Kline:</strong> We&#8217;ve done a lot of work for <em>BioShock Infinite</em> to support a wide range of display setups and resolutions, so I&#8217;m confident you&#8217;ll have a great full-screen play experience when it is released.</p>
<p><strong>Q: Will it support <em>Steam </em>offline mode?</strong><strong><em> </em></strong></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><strong>Chris Kline: </strong><em>Steam</em> Offline Mode is supported.</p>
<p><strong>Q: Will there be any DRM?</strong></p>
<p><strong>Chris Kline:</strong> We are using the standard <em>Steam</em> DRM. You&#8217;ll need a <em>Steam</em> account and a broadband internet connection during initial installation for <em>Steam</em> authentication. But otherwise it works pretty much like any other Steam title: you can install under the same <em>Steam</em> account on multiple machines, activate Steam Offline Mode to play on an airplane, etc.</p>
<p><strong>Q: Will I be able to run this on ATI Radeon Mobility HD 4500 series?</strong></p>
<p><strong>Chris Kline:</strong><em> </em>Unfortunately this card is below our minimum requirements, so I cannot state with confidence that it will perform well on your PC.</p>
<p><strong>Q: If I purchase a boxed copy of <em>BioShock Infinite</em>, does that mean I&#8217;ll still be able to play it using <em>Steam</em> or do I have to actually purchase it through <em>Steam</em>?</strong></p>
<p><strong>Chris Kline:</strong> You do not need to purchase the game via <em>Steam</em> to play it using <em>Steam</em>.</p>
<p><strong>Q: Will the game require the disc to be in the computer or is it able to directly download from Steam? I bought the collector&#8217;s edition but my computer doesn&#8217;t have an optical drive.  Am I allowed to input a code into Steam and download it without the disc?</strong></p>
<p><strong>Chris Kline:</strong> Boxed copies will include a <em>Steam</em> key. So if you bought a boxed copy but your computer doesn&#8217;t have an optical drive, you can still activate and install the game via a <em>Steam</em> download.</p>
<p><strong>Q: Is <em>BioShock Infinite</em> a Steamworks title?</strong></p>
<p><strong>Chris Kline: </strong>Yes, <em>BioShock Infinite</em> is a Steamworks title, and activation requires a <em>Steam</em> account.</p>
<p><strong>Q: The minimum PC specs confuse me.  It says that the minimum video memory is 512, but it also states that it can run on Intel integrated chipsets which my system says is 384 megs.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Chris Kline:</strong><em> </em>This is a little complicated to answer because Intel graphics works a little differently from other vendors. As Intel says in their <a href="http://www.intel.com/support/graphics/sb/CS-029090.htm">Graphics Memory FAQ</a>:</p>
<p><em>&#8220;Intel graphics do not have dedicated memory but utilizes some of the computer&#8217;s system memory. The amount of memory used for graphics may be a fixed amount or may vary up to a maximum amount. It depends on if your computer manufacturer has configured your computer to use a fixed amount, a dynamic amount (varying up to a maximum amount), or a combination of both fixed and dynamic amounts of graphics memory.&#8221;</em></p>
<p style="text-align: left">The best way for you to find out if your computer has enough graphics memory is to follow the instructions in the <a href="http://www.intel.com/support/graphics/sb/CS-029090.htm">Intel Graphics Memory FAQ</a> in the section titled <em>&#8220;How much graphics memory does my computer have?&#8221;</em> This explains a method that allows you to find out how much memory your Intel graphics setup has access to, taking into account the memory it shares with system memory.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-32041" title="BioShock Infinite" src="http://irrationalgames.com/files/2013/01/IG_logo_480x351.jpg" alt="" width="480" height="351" /></p>
<p>Fifteen years ago, Irrational Games got its start making PC games, and the PC gaming experience has always been near and dear to our hearts. But it’s been a long time since we released the original <em>BioShock</em>, and PC gamers have come to expect a lot more for their money. So it’s understandable that you might be wondering: Will<em> BioShock Infinite </em>treat you right? Read on to find out what’s in store for the PC version, and you be the judge.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Controls</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>One of the big differences between PC and console gaming is the availability of a mouse and keyboard. You expect it, so we’re happy to confirm that the PC options screens let you remap all the default action bindings, with both primary and alternate bindings available simultaneously. Speaking of mice, we’ve made sure not to alter the sensitivity of high-end gaming mice by applying artificial mouse smoothing, and you can control sensitivity or toggle mouse acceleration in the options screen.</p>
<p>What’s that you’re mumbling to yourself? You prefer a console controller? Don’t worry, traitor, your secret is safe with us. There are three separate controller layouts (Default, Marksman, and Retro), each of which support loads of configuration options. You can tweak aim assist, sensitivity, vibration, and look inversion. Are you a left-handed player? Go ahead and revel in your genetic superiority because all controller layouts support multiple analog-stick configurations: Default (Look on right stick, Move on left), Southpaw (opposite of Default), Legacy (for those GoldenEye fans), and Legacy Southpaw. And for those who truly yearn for an old-school feel, or who use special controllers for medical reasons, we even let you swap the left or right analog stick with the D-pad.</p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p>All UI&#8217;s in the game are controllable via either keyboard and mouse or the console controller, and you can switch back and forth between the two input paradigms without ever pausing the game.</p>
<p><strong>Graphics</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>I know, I know. Why discuss Controls first when we all know that Graphics Options is the first place you’ll be visiting? Because patience is a virtue. And it’s worth the wait.</p>
<p>This time around, we’ve fully embraced widescreen gaming. With our implementation of “horizontal plus” widescreen support, the wider you go, the more you’ll see of Columbia’s gorgeous vistas. And for the true aficionado, we support multi-monitor gaming with AMD Eyefinity, NVIDIA Surround, and Matrox TripleHead2Go. You’ll also have separate controls for aspect ratio, resolution, and display mode (fullscreen, windowed, and fullscreen windowed).</p>
<p>We have six different graphics presets, from “Very Low” to “Ultra,” providing a wide range of quality-versus-performance options. Gamers who want to tweak those further can switch to a Custom configuration, which gives you control over anti-aliasing, texture detail, texture filtering, dynamic shadows, post-processing, light shafts, ambient occlusion, and object level of detail. Many of these options have setting levels that are only available under DX11.</p>
<p>That’s right—<em>BioShock Infinite </em>is a DX11 game. Though you only need DX10-compatible hardware to play, having a DX11 graphics card gives you access to contact-hardening dynamic shadows, diffusion depth of field, high definition ambient occlusion and optimized antialiasing. Each of these features was developed in close collaboration with AMD’s graphics experts to take maximum advantage of modern DX11 hardware.</p>
<p>Finally, to show off all of that glorious PC pixel-pushing power, we’re shipping with unadulterated, full-resolution textures right in the box. You may not enjoy the three-DVD install, but we hope you will appreciate the jaw-dropping detail our amazing team of artists lavished on the game.</p>
<p><strong>Gaming Wherever, Whenever</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>So you have a sweet gaming rig at home, but what about when you’re on the road for work, taking a break between classes, or visiting your relatives? We know that you appreciate being able to bring your gaming with you and may not always have a beefy machine available. We’ve worked hard to include graphics options that scale both up and down, so you can play<em> BioShock Infinite </em>even on less powerful setups with integrated graphics.</p>
<p>Speaking of bringing your gaming with you, did I mention that the game is on Steam, with Steam Cloud support? You’ll be able to get your<em> BioShock Infinite </em>fix no matter where you are, and your saved progress travels with you.</p>
<p>Likewise, if you just bought an 80-inch TV and prefer to take your PC gaming to the couch (or is it a “love seat”?), we’ve got you covered with support for Steam’s Big Picture mode. Heck, with a wireless controller and a good insurance plan, you can even play from your Jacuzzi.</p>
<p><strong><em> </em></strong></p>
<p><strong>Requirements</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>Will <em>BioShock Infinite </em>run on your gaming setup? We certainly hope so! So, without further ado, here are the PC requirements for <em>BioShock Infinite:</em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline">MINIMUM</span></p>
<ul>
<li>OS: Windows Vista Service Pack 2 32-bit</li>
<li>Processor: Intel Core 2 DUO 2.4 GHz / AMD Athlon X2 2.7 GHz</li>
<li>Memory: 2 GB</li>
<li>Hard Drive: 20 GB free</li>
<li>Video Card: DirectX10 Compatible ATI Radeon HD 3870 / NVIDIA 8800 GT / Intel HD 3000 Integrated Graphics</li>
<li>Video Card Memory: 512 MB</li>
<li>Sound Card: DirectX Compatible</li>
</ul>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline">RECOMMENDED</span></p>
<ul>
<li>OS: Windows 7 Service Pack 1 64-bit</li>
<li>Processor: Quad Core Processor</li>
<li>Memory: 4 GB</li>
<li>Hard Drive: 30 GB free</li>
<li>Video Card: DirectX11 Compatible, AMD Radeon HD 6950 / NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560</li>
<li>Video Card Memory: 1024 MB</li>
<li>Sound Card: DirectX Compatible</li>
</ul>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline">OTHER REQUIREMENTS &amp; SUPPORTS</span></p>
<p>Steam account required for game activation and installation.<em> </em>Initial installation requires one-time broadband internet connection for Steam authentication and Platform Update For Windows Vista (KB 971644 required on Vista only for DirectX 11); software installations required (included with the game) include Steam Client, Microsoft DirectX Runtime, Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable 2008 SP1, and Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable 2010 SP1.</p>
<p><strong>Conclusion</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>If I have any regrets, it’s that there are always more features that we wanted to add than we had time to implement. For example, some of the most requested PC features these days are in-game V-Sync and FOV adjustment controls. Unfortunately, given our tight sc—wait, never mind. We added those too!</p>
<p>Still have questions? Then send them to <a href="mailto:community@irrationalgames.com?subject=PC Specs">community@irrationalgames.com</a> and I&#8217;ll have answers in a separate post next week!</p>
<p>We’re incredibly excited about the quality of<em> BioShock Infinite </em>on the PC platform, and we can’t wait for you to experience it for yourself on March 26<sup>th</sup>. Secure your copy at <a href="http://www.preordernow.com">www.preordernow.com</a>!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left"><a href="https://store.irrationalgames.com/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-31956" title="Store Update" src="http://irrationalgames.com/files/2013/01/Store_Update-480x226.jpg" alt="" width="480" height="226" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left">Looking for something to tide you over until <em>BioShock Infinite</em> is in your hot little hands? We’ve got you covered at the <a href="https://store.irrationalgames.com/">Irrational Games Store</a>. Literally.</p>
<p>You may recall a poll we conducted to decide which t-shirt design to make available and you chose this excellent advertisement for the hottest property in 1895 Columbia, the Murder of Crows Vigor! But if tall, winged and leathery is more to your liking, we’re also featuring a fantastic new Songbird design.</p>
<p style="text-align: left"><a href="https://store.irrationalgames.com/Product.aspx?pSKU=2K-INF-MOC-TEE"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-31911" title="MoC" src="http://irrationalgames.com/files/2013/01/MoC-248x296.jpg" alt="" width="240" height="278" /></a><a href="https://store.irrationalgames.com/Product.aspx?pSKU=2K-INF-SONG-T"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-31906" title="Songbird" src="http://irrationalgames.com/files/2013/01/apparel-SongbirdMale-detail-249x296.jpg" alt="" width="240" height="278" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left">For the ultimate fan, however, we’re very excited to announce a special item we haven’t even hinted at before.</p>
<p style="text-align: left">Each unique area of the floating city went through countless iterations and design phases, from rough sketches to complete architectural drawings. This is your chance to own a piece of Columbia for your wall.  We’ve made an extremely limited run of 100 lithographs of the concept artwork for Columbia’s Boardwalk and had them nicely framed, suitable for hanging in your library or drawing room. Or heck, your dorm room. They also come with a certificate of authenticity that is hand-numbered and signed by Ken Levine!</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><a href="https://store.irrationalgames.com/Product.aspx?pSKU=2K-IRR-BWALK-LITHO&amp;vSKU=2K-IRR-BWALK-LITHO"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-31926" title="LE Lithograph" src="http://irrationalgames.com/files/2013/01/BoardWalk_LE_litho-480x340.jpg" alt="" width="480" height="340" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left">And one more thing: You&#8217;ll be able to get your hands on NECA&#8217;s Elizabeth and the Boys of Silence figures very soon!</p>
<p style="text-align: left">
<p style="text-align: center"><a href="http://irrationalgames.com/files/2013/01/NECA-Figures.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-31961" title="NECA Figures" src="http://irrationalgames.com/files/2013/01/NECA-Figures-480x423.jpg" alt="" width="480" height="423" /></a></p>

		<description><![CDATA[This exclusive pre-order puzzle game is more than just a way to get in-game rewards—it’s a way to get the inside scoop on what’s really happening in the floating city of Columbia.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://irrationalgames.com/files/2012/12/Main-Menu.png"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-31176" title="Main Menu" src="http://irrationalgames.com/files/2012/12/Main-Menu-479x409.png" alt="" width="479" height="409" /></a></p>
<p>In October, we announced that pre-orders for <em>BioShock Infinite</em> would include exclusive access to <em>BioShock Infinite: Industrial Revolution</em>, a unique puzzle game developed in conjunction with <a href="http://www.lazy8studios.com/">Lazy 8 Studios</a>. But what some folks might have missed is that there’s more to <em>Industrial Revolution</em> than a few cool unlockable bonuses for <em>BioShock Infinite</em>. Lazy 8 has, in fact, crafted a complete and compelling game that provides unique insights into what’s really going on in Columbia.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-31196" title="lazy 8 banner" src="http://irrationalgames.com/files/2012/12/lazy-8-banner-480x58.png" alt="" width="480" height="58" /></p>
<p>Before Industrial Revolution, Lazy 8 might best have been known for their similarly themed puzzle game, COGS. In COGS, players have to solve interlocking gear, pipe, and mechanical puzzles around three-dimensional objects. COGS is one of those games that for the period of a few years seemed to show up everywhere, available on phones and PCs and tablets every time a new platform launched. The game has been a finalist at IndieCade and the Independent Games Festival, and won the 2009 Indie Game Challenge.</p>
<p>And somewhere along the way, the game caught Irrational’s eye.</p>
<p>“They came to me with some ideas already in mind of what they wanted a stand-alone <em>BioShock</em> puzzle game to look like,” recalls Rob Jagnow, founder of Lazy 8 Studios. The idea was to have a separate <em>BioShock Infinite</em> experience that could help introduce the world to the themes, locations,  and players of the ‘big game.’ The core puzzle design was completed  almost two years ago, and while we reordered the difficulty ramp a bit,  all in all, the designs have stayed intact.”</p>
<p><a href="http://irrationalgames.com/files/2012/12/Task-25.png"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-31186" title="Task 25" src="http://irrationalgames.com/files/2012/12/Task-25-480x397.png" alt="" width="480" height="397" /></a></p>
<p>While many of the unlocks can be grabbed easily, to get them all, you’ll need to complete the whole game. And the rewards are more than just unlocks. Each puzzle tasks the player with connecting a power source to an output, using various gears and pulleys. Solving the puzzle puts a virtual factory to work making materiel that the player can then choose to send to the Founders or the Vox. Based on the choices the player makes, the story told in <em>Industrial Revolution</em> will change, providing a unique opportunity for storytelling.</p>
<p><a href="http://irrationalgames.com/files/2012/12/Task-24.png"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-31181" title="Task 24" src="http://irrationalgames.com/files/2012/12/Task-24-479x414.png" alt="" width="479" height="414" /></a></p>
<p>So while players go through an increasingly complex series of mechanical puzzles, they also influence a short story being told within the game through newspaper clippings and propaganda posters. Long before they fire up <em>BioShock Infinite</em>, <em>Industrial Revolution</em> players will have seen the struggle unfold between Columbia’s founders and the Vox Populi. Before they ever meet Elizabeth and Booker, they’ll get to know Daisy Fitzroy, leader of Columbia’s resistance.</p>
<p><a href="http://irrationalgames.com/files/2012/12/The-Voice.png"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-31191" title="The Voice" src="http://irrationalgames.com/files/2012/12/The-Voice-480x407.png" alt="" width="480" height="407" /></a></p>
<p>But even more than that, they will have influenced that conflict and earned bonuses they can carry into the very first levels of <em>BioShock Infinite</em>. “It’s great to bring a story in,” says Jagnow. “It took a lot of back-and-forth, but the game now tells the story of the 12 years prior to what happens in <em>BioShock Infinite</em>.”</p>

<p>Today <a href="https://twitter.com/IGLevine">K</a><a href="https://twitter.com/IGLevine">en Levine</a> did his <a href="http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/156gvi/i_am_ken_levine_creative_director_of_bioshock_and/">Ask-Me-Anything on Reddit</a> (make sure to check it out – it’s currently sitting at #2 on the Reddit front page) and he revealed a little secret that we hadn’t talked about yet.</p>
<p>Did you love that music from the first two <em>BioShocks?</em> Then you’re going to be very happy. Ken had this to say:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>“We&#8217;re proud to announce that Garry Schyman, composer of BioShock 1 and 2 has returned to the composer&#8217;s chair for BioShock Infinite. His score is very different from the first two games, yet very much guided by the same aesthetic principles. We were lucky to have him and I can&#8217;t wait until you get to hear some of his stuff. He&#8217;s working in a different, sparer style, but it&#8217;s awesome.”</em></p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>*Update* The poll is now closed.</strong></p>
<p>I&#8217;m happy to announce that the game will come with a reversible cover.</p>
<p>But that&#8217;s not all. We want to hear your voice on what that cover should be. To that end, we&#8217;ve arranged a poll below that lets you choose from several potential reversible covers. I&#8217;ve got my favorite, but I&#8217;m not telling which.  We&#8217;ve got to do this quickly to meet our print deadlines, so vote soon. Like, NOW!</p>
<p>But what&#8217;s that you say? You want even more choice in covers? We&#8217;re also going to be arranging a whole mess of MORE alternate covers which will be available to download and print yourself. Of course, these are free and we&#8217;d love to hear your thoughts in the <a href="http://forums.2kgames.com/forumdisplay.php?116-BioShock-Infinite-General-Game-Discussion">forums</a> as to what you&#8217;d like to see.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://irrationalgames.com/files/2012/12/IG_logo_480x351.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-30916" title="IG_logo_480x351" src="http://irrationalgames.com/files/2012/12/IG_logo_480x351.jpg" alt="" width="480" height="351" /></a></p>
<p>The world is about to change for <em>BioShock Infinite </em>fans.</p>
<p>For the very first time, media from all over the world got their hands on <em>BioShock Infinite</em>. They sat down with the first few hours of the game and played it to their heart’s content: hands on and no holds barred.</p>
<p>Some of their coverage has already hit the web. <a href="http://www.pcgamer.com/2012/12/07/bioshock-infinite-first-impressions-from-our-massive-hands-on-spoiler-free/">PC Gamer</a> said:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>I&#8217;ve just played the first five hours of BioShock Infinite, and I’ve  come away with the same dazed feeling I got after I first played  Half-Life 2. It’s a sensory overload: a relentless series of staggering  sights, astonishing events, and more story and detail and mysteries than  I could possibly absorb.<br />
</em></p></blockquote>
<p>Work on the game is now down to final polish and bugfixing. In order to give the team a few more weeks of this polish, the release date of <em>BioShock Infinite</em> is March 26<sup>th</sup>.</p>
<p>We know that this is going to ruffle some feathers. But we’re willing to take the heat to make sure that <em>BioShock Infinite</em> is 100% the game our fans deserve.</p>
<p>You can count on a lot more updates coming soon. Don’t miss a thing. Stay in the loop by following us on <a href="https://twitter.com/IrrationalGames">Twitter</a> or liking us on <a href="http://www.facebook.com/bioshock">Facebook</a>.</p>
