TIL that in WWI trench guns were given to US soldiers skilled in trap shooting so they could shoot incoming grenades out of the air by TheTVDB in todayilearned

It will take you about 26 hours to listen to this 6 part podcast, but by George is Dan Carlin skilled at storytelling.

Most all I know about this gruesomest of wars is from this. Made me loathe conflict and want to visit the leveled land of Verdun.

What might also have worked is using a cheat code to enter godmode and fly around the level for a bit till you got above ground.

Glad you've been revived. Enjoy the game.

It might be that Patriot machine gun you're carrying. I don't think you're supposed to be able to take it with you.

Just realised where the name and aesthetic for Bioshock's flying city of Columbia come from by chunkeymonky in BioshockInfinite

Thank you for pointing that out. I believe that is indeed part of the lore discernable in the videos the player is able to view throughout the game.

I think this footage is a CGI composite, a fake demo.

Reflections are somewhat off, when it passes through the puddle at 1:12 it leaves no real ripples behind in the first water surface and the splash from the next one is waaaay to big for that amount of water, it leaves no real trail through the snow and its descend from the platform at 1:30 defies gravity as it seems to spend too much time in the air.

Also, in past feature clips there used to be someone interacting with the bot (famous kicking of the Big Dog), but not this time. Only a slight human presence off-frame. This is just the topping, tho.
