"Will The Circle Be Unbroken " - from the Bioshock Infinite OST, 2013

alt text

youtube audio post: the closing track of the "bioshock infinite" soundtrack, featuring courtnee draper and troy baker playing the early 20th century hymn "will the circle be unbroken". preview screen is the OST's album art, which features protagonists booker dewitt and elizabeth falling through the air, reaching for one another. in the background, the floating city of columbia can be seen.

this version of the hymn features "bioshock infinite" voice actors courtnee draper (elizabeth) and troy baker (booker) on vocal and guitar, respectively. i genuinely love their take on it; they've got some real talent.

i am in the process of replaying this game for some reason. i thought i would play a few minutes and drop it, but it's sucked me in over the last few nights. i'm not sure if i feel the same way i did about it in 2013, but there is something to it overall. maybe the current political climate is getting under my skin and making the in-game propaganda hit differently.

for those that have not played the game, there's some delightful footage rolled during the closing credits showing courtnee draper and troy baker recording this track in the studio alongside game developer ken levine (spoilers for a 12-year-old game, i guess?):

My favorite Bioshock.

Shortly after the game came out, at PAX someone did an amazing Elizabeth cosplay, and would say "Booker! Catch!" to passerby, and toss them one of those gold-wrapped chocolate coins. It was great. :D

I did have my fourth play through on my list, but I don't think it would be good for me

More than once I've looked at a stack of new games and instead replayed this or Skyrim.

Troy Baker is an astonishing voice actor. He does an excellent Harrison Ford impression in the new Indiana Jones game.

What an absolutely brilliant franchise this was. Played the whole series with my kid when he was 13 and excellent gameplay aside, the world-building was level-setting.

I adore Infinite—and still do—questionable plot choices aside. The DLCs are incredible as well.
