Are you doing things because you are choosing to do them? Or are you doing them because people are asking them of you? Are you in control of your life? The game Bioshock was truly revolutionary when it took the world by storm upon its release; not only, with its amazing gameplay and atmospheric environment but it made us ask some deep questions about what it means to be a human. The symbolism behind so many items and conversations and themes in this game were truly eye opening. On this episode of Infinite Lives and Games we sit down with the one and only Rio Azul as we talk about his gaming history, musical talents, the amazing artistic character designs of Bioshock and also, how this game has impacted his life since playing it.
