Bioshock - Andrew Ryan Introduction (High Quality)

[maiwork6666666]

It's fitting that Ryan is a video game charachter and, were he around, he would be very supportive of anti-piracy :P

[MrHotwings69]

I chose...Rapture! Am i the only one who gets chills from that badass line?

[superamazingsnowman]

read the new book out biochock: Rapture....it talks about the rise and fall of rapture of the first game, and when you read it then play the games you can fully understand the whole story in the game........

[nerdprodigy0808]

The reason why he moved camera so much is to show the viewer the full scope of the city.

[RushBeatles]

the silent film Metropolis and the book Atlas Shrugged had a baby, and its name is Bioshock

[at0mict0ast]

Holy shit man, stop looking around. There's nothing interesting happening besides what's out that window. What the fuck were you looking for?

[od1edi]

Jesus on a damn bicycle why does every person who posts vids like this have parkinsons disease...

[abdonashaela]

STOP MOVING THE DAMN CAMERA SO MUCH!

[pic74]

i used to choose the impossible, then i took an arrow in the knee.

[HolyShizzle]

this game still haunts my dreams

[helloimyellow119706]

wow like seriously,bioshock infinite got nothing on rapture,rapture as an underwater city,inhabited by big daddys kicking splicers ass,raptures thirst for ADAM,the creepy classical music in the backgrounds,on the other hand we have a city floating in the sky...SMH

[TheAlexagius]

ah if there only was a nation built on those values america once was but know its a corprate chrisitan shit hole

[amitabho123]

@TheAlexagius ...that's exactly how Ryan's anarchocapitalist ideal works. Are you high?

[AZKira42]

Stop spazing out and just look straight ahead. Holy crap.

[gyokszi]

Anytime I see this part I think a lot about it. I understand, that in the Vatican society is God-centered and in that time Russia was communist, but what about Washington and the poor? In that time, the USA was the most capitalist country of the World and as far as I know, it was not poor-centered. Can you tell me what is it here about Washington and the poor?

[melkathi]

@gyokszi

I have been wondering that as well, though in the end I guess it was just about taxes...

[GodzillasaurusJr]

@gyokszi You pay income tax there, part of which goes to welfare programs, roads, low-income housing projects and what have you. Objectivists (like Andrew Ryan) are completely opposed to that. All form of income tax is an abomination (again, according to them).

[TitanicPolarBear101]

@gyokszi Before the events of the game, Ryan witnessed Roosevelt's socialist policies and declared them to be terrible. Objectivism is kind of right wing.

[DARKBLADE252]

Using Ryans speech this wednesday for my speech class, I'll try my best xD

[dalaiyoda]

Either the 'masterpiece' comment is meant to be ironic, or the uploader has completely missed the point of the game, ie. "Here is why Ayn Rand was so very, very wrong."

Either way, it's a lesson in why you should try to keep the cam as still as possible when screen-capping.

[Doommage33]

0:48 -even in a technologically advanced city miles underwater we still cant escape ads....

[appleslinky]

Stop moving the fucking camera.

[TitanicPolarBear101]

@ab771cam Slightly Russian with a hint of American.

[puntme]

stop moving the camera you fuckwit 

[Solverwiz]

Amazing what can happen when something good is so corrupted. Then again, just look at the results of corrupting the Constitution and Bill of Rights.

[zipthepinhead]

Your frantic looking around instead of just watching still, ruins the video.

[OpinionatedAussie]

Andrew Ryan

Inspired by Atlas Shrugged

By Ayn Rand

Ayn R = Ryan

And....rew.

Andrew Ryan

holy mother of tits.

[Teufeldolch]

Honestly, this could be considered the greatest opening sequence to any video game ever.

[roboguy75]

@Teufeldolch it poses as a challenge to half-life

[UnitedKingdomify]

lmao @ the video description: "masterpiece of a book. 'Atlas Shrugged'" Are... you... fucking... shitting me?

[Skillcaker]

Ah, back in the old days where 360p was considered 'High quality'.

[DrawQuick2014]

Andrew Ryan is one of the greatest characters in video game history

[ARSA525]

"I am Andrew Ryan and I'm here to ask you a question: Does a YouTuber have a right to be free from trolls? No says the man in Washington: trolling is for inaginationally poor people. No says the man in Vatican: " Getting trolled is the will of God". No says the man in Moscow: "The trolling belongs to be a pest of every good YouTuber".

[TheFishMonger89]

I am John Galt and I want to know why Andrew Ryan stole my speech!

[Blahmarrow]

I'm Andrew Ryan, and I'd like to ask you a question: Is a man not entitled to the sweat of his brow?

(random guy in a crowd)

"NO DAMMIT!"

[fullyHarshness]

This video clearly shows how inferior consoles are when it comes to movement. A sluggish stick can never replace a mouse.

[11Deez]

@fullyHarshness Obvious troll is obvious

[kornkid22]

I AM ANDREW RYAN AND I'M FREAKING SICK OF THE PLAYER LOOKING AROUND EVERYWHERE WHEN I CLEARLY WANT HIM TO BE LOOKING STRAIGHT AHEAD!!! DUMBASS

[redsorakingdomhearts]

WHY ARE THE SCIENTISTS NOT LOOKING IN TO THIS! I WOULD LOVE TO WAKE UP IN THE MORNING TO HEAR WALE SONGS OUT SIDE MY WINDOW!

[djeminescu]

@redsorakingdomhearts They have hotels like that in Fiji and Dubai. Also, The Seasteading Institute plans to build independent cities on the sea and they are supposed to run on libertarian principles.

[redsorakingdomhearts]

@djeminescu Thank you, I now know where I want to live when I grow up.

[dalaiyoda]

@djeminescu What is the Seasteaders stance on genetic engineering? Because as great as it sounds, we've all seen that sea-based libertarian utopias can have... issues.

[djeminescu]

@dalaiyoda Well they don't take their ideals to the extreme so I doubt we'll have any incidents.

[amazingwave]

This game was so fucking good.

[krazukist]

Best introduction ... Ever !

[itachiitachi1946]

to be honest iv always wanted to live in a distant city away form any kind of lame existences.i was thinking not in the sea but in a huge island that cannot be seen or detected by any way.''were the big ones r not constrained by the small ones'' that line and the philosofy of parasites and their faults that casue troubles and needless burdens describe my view about the real world and objectivism.thats why i like ryan so much.hes my favorite char in biosock.

[DarthVuvuzealous]

@SuperBooyah123 that kind of thinking is what brought us into this subprime mortgages mess in the first place

[cdoublejj]

stop fucking moving the mouse i can't see the scenery as well

[DarthVuvuzealous]

Booyah, that kind of thinking is what brought us into this subprime mortgage mess

[Omaraition]

Stop fucking moving around I'm trying to see Rapture

[WampireDj]

Bioshock is a masterpiece.

[xxpeniskingxx]

Best video game scene ever.

[ImperatorZor]

Is a man entitled to the sweat off his brow?

NO! Says the Man in Washington! It belongs to the Poor!

NO! Says the Man in the Vatican! It belongs to God!

NO! Says the Man in Moscow! It belongs to People!

NO! Says the Man on Wall Street! It belongs to me!

...

Wait, can we start this over?

[SuperBooyah123]

@ImperatorZor but...according to Andrew Ryans Individualism ideals, as well as the influence of this game(Atlas Shrugged/Ayn Rand) it is perfectly good/encouraged for wall street financiers to earn whatever money they can

[CrzayMazy]

I will never forget this scene the first time I played the game.

[Filo127]

was I the only one who yelled at the screen "STOP MOVING THE FUCKING VIEW AROUND!!!!"

[TheArkTheArkTheArk]

@Filo127 No, No you were not.

[goldlion217]

@Filo127 you are not

[BioShockisAWESOME]

I chose - Rapture! A city where the artist would not fear the censor, where the scientist would not be bound by petty morality, Where the great would not be constrained by the small! And with the sweat of your brow, Rapture can become your city as well.'

[BioShockisAWESOME]

'I am Andrew Ryan, and I'm here to ask you a question. Is a man not entitled to the sweat of his brow? 'No!' says the man in Washington, 'It belongs to the poor.' 'No!' says the man in the Vatican, 'It belongs to God.' 'No!' says the man in Moscow, 'It belongs to everyone.' I rejected those answers; instead, I chose something different. I chose the impossible.

[applesauceisawsome]

how many minecraft players were inspired after this besides me?...

[DVAcme]

This is the scene that really made it sink in how SPECIAL this game was gonna be :)

[CMAN24717]

Dude I Swear That Sound Like Vincent Price O Mah Go

odness Its So Crazy

[JacobMorrisNinetyTwo]

I am Andrew Ryan, and I'm fucking sick of silly youtube users paraphrasing me with slight variations in some vague attempt to be funny.

[ZombieMonkey7]

@JacobMorrisNinetyTwo What is the difference between a man and a parasite? A man builds. A parasite asks 'Give me thumbs up.' A man creates. A parasite 'Paraphrases others.' A man invents. A parasite goes on wiki quotes and changes a much better speech then his own

[piemastersanta]

commenting during Rapture on 5/21/2011

[Solverwiz]

In this game, if you use your own rational judgement, you can win. If you do what everyone else says to do, you'll lose.

[gp01zephyranthes]

is this where all the baptsist are going on the 21st ?

[motaBoy92]

Somebody know where I can som other pictures of the statue at 1:53 ?

just looks so aestetic..

[UltraSuzumiyaHaruhi]

?do you drunk alcohol in the plane?

[tingfod]

Too bad the video's ruined a little by Jack's ADHD.

[madblackjack]

this reminds me, i wanted to see atlas shrugged.

[fireicelightarrows]

Who lives in a office right under the sea? ANDREW RY-AN!

Obnoxious, self-centered and from the 50's? ANDREW RY-AN!

If economic nosense be something you wish! ANDREW RY-AN!

Then beat up small girls with half-rotten fish! Ready?

ANDREW RY-AN, ANDREW RY-AN, AN-DREW, RY-ANNNNNN!

[fireicelightarrows]

Tea-bagger republicunts fap to Andrew Ryan's picture at night.

[politcalgamer]

@fireicelightarrows What?

[dloscalzo]

not even enjoyable with the camera moving so much.

[Tyrannohamstersaurus]

I think Ryan is a pretty cool guy. eh builts Rapture and doesn’t afraid of anything.

[crazygamer156]

Who lives in a city under the sea, ANDREW RYAN!

[owenhbrown]

keep your thumb still, fool

[nepalihercules]

lol i get it, claptrap speaks like that in borderlands. lol. i finally get it

[TheBlackCloakedMan]

Wow, Ayn Rand's "masterpiece of a book"...I'll try not to laugh.

[Reqrezentin]

@TheBlackCloakedMan

lolol

[13littlebigpro]

what did you use to record this?

[NetsrohtBMW]

STOP moving the cam!!!!!!!

[mrjerrick]

I am King Leonidas, and I am here to ask you a question: Is a man not entitled to kick Persians down his own well?

No, says the man in Persia. No man, Persian or Greek, no man threatens a messenger!

No, says the man in Rome. Madman! You're a madman!

No, says the man in Athens. This is blasphemy! This is madness!

I rejected those answers. Instead, I chose something different. I chose the impossible. I chose...

SPARTAAAAAAAAAA.

[spliffmanrules]

@mrjerrick sir, it would be an honour to buy you a beer

[mrjerrick]

@spliffmanrules TONIGHT , WE DRINK ... IN A BAAAAAAAAR.

[doomed2obscurity]

Oh my GOD!! there isn't ONE video of this where the player doesn't feel the idiotic compulsion to move the camera around like a retard! Just hold it STILL.

[jackthestunner]

i am Andrew Ryan is a man not entitled to the shit of his brow?

no, says the man in Washington his shit belongs to the poor.

no, says the man in Vatican his shit belongs to god.

no says the man in Moscow his shit belongs to everyone.

i rejected those shits. instead i shit something different.

i shit the imposable

i shit RAPTURE.

[meepfeet]

@DKDioKlau Wow, your very mature. How old are you? Eight?

[DKDioKlau]

@meepfeet

46 years old.

[mrjerrick]

A city where the Persian would fear the censors.

Where the Spartan would not be bound by petty morality.

Where the Spartan would not be constrained by the Persian.

With the sweat of your brow, SPARTAAAAAAAAAA can become your city, as well

[bikster]

Way to make me throw up IGN!

[usernameXaygon]

aww my eyes >.<

[NavaRRoTV]

Great this dialogue in english. Thanks for uploading.

[TheNadster2]

Actually, I am Henry Featherbottom Jr.

[TheNadster2]

I am Feather Featherbottom

[SnivelyTheGlamful]

I was reading Atlas Shrugged and read page 153. It talked about how John Galt saw a city of shining towers under the water. Not to give anything away, but I wonder if Kevin Levine read that about Atlantis and got the idea ...

[Xaxustheelite]

Way to totally mis the reveal of Rapture there.

[UndreamingSoul]

Wow. Now I get wht this won a "best game moment" award. I totally agree!

[TheAwesomeAsian72]

I am Adolf Hitler, and I am here to ask you a question: Is a man not entitled to exterminate the Jews?

No, says the man in Washington. They've done nothing wrong.

No, says the man in the Vatican. God says no!

No, says the man in Moscow. That's our job.

I rejected those answers. Instead, I chose something different. I chose the impossible. I chose...

Berlin.

[TheAwesomeAsian72]

A place where the Jew has no fucking rights.

Where the Nazi is not constrained by petty morality.

Where the Aryan is not backstabbed by the Jew.

With the superiority of the Aryan race, this can become your future, as well.

[ZeldaFreak1987]

good god i love this game.

[Heimunen]

keep the fucking camera still

[MICOPERTO007]

Andrew Ryan is reality ye reality he was the president of atlantis !

[omgwtfbbq6666]

JW....why would he name his city Rapture? I'm starting to think he actually planned his city to destroy itself....i mean....he mind controlled you to stop, run away, and then kill him, why didn't he just mind control you to kill yourself? Only Fontaine orders to you kill yourself when he asks you to get stepped on and it didn't work....

[cloudmcagnst]

@omgwtfbbq6666 rapture as a word actually means "paradise". the christian faith doesnt make it seem that way does it?

[omgwtfbbq6666]

@cloudmcagnst Oh shit, I'm not even christian and I didn't even know that =o fuck....

[hitman3106]

@omgwtfbbq6666 heres my guess why he did that...

He wanted to make a paradise under the ocean...but it got corrupted by the powers and hated what the city has become...and he didnt want to kill himseelf....he wanted a victim to do it.

[omgwtfbbq6666]

@hitman3106 Well, he wanted his life to be taken away, so it would considered euthanasia, no?

[reddupo]

@omgwtfbbq6666

Are you kidding? That's not even a question. The LAST thing Ryan would want is either of those things. Ryan wanted absolute liberty in all forms.

[masterwarrior6]

I am Andrew Ryan and I'm here to ask a question:

Is a man entitled to the alcohol he drinks?

No, said the reneck; the beer belongs to me.

No, said the christian, the wine belongs to god.

No, said the russian, the wodka belongs to EVERYONE.

I was too drunk to remember these answers. Instead, I chose something when i started drinking. I chose something so ridiculous, so stupid, I CHOSE....

RAPTURE.

[commander144]

IGN = fail

[weightedcompanionc]

It would be better appreciated if you stopped moving the fuck around

[haymaker710]

Is a Claptrap not entitled to the oil of his bro?.

No says the man in Hyperion, "It belongs to his owner."

No says the treasure hunter, "It belongs splattered on the floor."

But we chose something different. We chose the Robolution.

[marino4691]

I LOVE THIS city. its so epic :(

[Alioon6]

Rapture looks kinda like an Underwater Gotham city..

[sidney27ago]

@Alioon6 More like Raccoon City to me, with all the splicers and tyran... Big Daddies

[Alioon6]

@sidney27ago I mean from the outside...you know with all the colosal statues of half naked god like men and stuff like that..I can t argue with you on the inside though..

[fubudge]

Looking at the description I just figured Id tell the poster of this video (which I thank him/her for by the way) that this game is a commentary on how Ayn Rands philosophy doesnt work. I dont mean to be confrontational in any way if anything I take my position in a gentlemanly manner but Rands ideas are imperfect in the sense that they neglect situational complications of people and assume that everyone has the ability to redirect their life For this reason I wouldnt call her work a masterpiece

[Beljora]

@fubudge Actually, it seems that Rapture thrived until Andrew Ryan himself betrayed those ideals. His paranoia led him to use force against those who oppose him. A no-no in an ideal that says every man chooses his own fate.

[doom032]

@Beljora Nah, there were major problems even before Ryan betrayed his ideals. You had the criminal mastermind Fontaine, who pretty much became the most influential person in Rapture because of all the poor ones wanting to cheat the system. You had the plasmids, slowly making everyone go insane. And you had the loss of morality after the great technological advancements of ADAM(little sisters, Cosmetic Ideals et al.) Plus, the capitalists like Suchong profited from the civil war by worsening it.

[nobodygaming]

I would love to see Andrew Ryan somehow timewarp into Columbia and his reaction to such a nationalistic society that treats the American founding fathers as gods.

Not that it would ever happen officially, so some fanfic writers better get to work!

[RCNxxInciner8]

@nobodygaming Well, it is possible that he was there as a child and he saw the chaos, and it made him believe what he did.

[Sarc37]

It's unbelievable that Ryan's voice is the same guy who plays Quark on DS9. Awesome.

[heyrickaaayyy]

at 2:03 big daddy in the hallway

[shkeni]

STOP MOVING PLEASE

[MyDogFlippy]

what gave me the chills is that the music playing while the screen moves down.

[SketchyPeenut]

if the city didnt go to shit i would move there. no matter the cost

[DKDioKlau]

I am Andrew Ryan and I am here to ask you a question:

Is a man not entitled to built a city?

No, says the Giant Eagle; I'll eat your eyes.

No, says the Hand of God; I'll bitchslap you.

No, says the evil hammer and sickle; in Soviet Russia, city builds YOU!

I didn't understand a word of those answers. Instead, I got bored and chose the ridiculous. I chose...

A CITY UNDER THE SEA!

[Momentum139]

Highest Rated Comment, mudafawka.

[DKDioKlau]

@Momentum139 Geez.... Thanks.

[TJOSkates]

@DKDioKlau HAHAHA HILARIOUS, laughed so hard, well played sir!

[DKDioKlau]

What is the difference between a normal youtube user and a troll?

A youtube user makes a video. A troll asks "Where is the dislike button?"

A youtube user post. A parasite says, "First comment!"

A youtube user invents. A troll says, "Watch out, or you might tread on the toes of YouTube..."

[rettie]

@DKDioKlau

You, sir... win at commenting.

[Merc261]

@DKDioKlau That was the awesomest comment in the world.

You sir, have just won the internet.

[DJXanthraxxx]

@DKDioKlau

lol I just had to give this a thumbs up, it made me rofl, but very good.

[14Srb88]

@DKDioKlau Hahahaha city builds YOU !! :DD

[RCNxxInciner8]

@DKDioKlau Don't be so ignorant, just because you don't understand it doesn't mean it makes no sense. He hates the governments of the world and how they oppress people and take their money, so he built a city for people like him where governments wouldn't control them. "A city where the artist would not fear the censor, where the scientist would not be bound by petty morality, where the great would not be constrained by the small!"

[DKDioKlau]

@RCNxxInciner8

Problem?

[Rufflesguy]

@DKDioKlau And thats what makes him a winner and you a loser with your minimalistic toughts...sucker...

[DKDioKlau]

@Rufflesguy

Trollolololololololo

[DKDioKlau]

A city where the artist would drawn uncensored bullsh*t.

Where the nerds would not be bound by petty bullies.

Where the great would not be a b*tch slave the small.

And with the money of your wallet,

This city under the sea can become your epic city as well.

[Ratama]

um this game basically parodies rand.

[lashkaretoiba]

@Highlandheadbanger

What do you mean HIS? Ayn rand is a woman. An bioshock does not protray rand's beliefs 100% correctly. Ayn questioned what she believed but Ryan never did. Ayn rand's nonfiction writings were not about amorality or anarchy however that is what Ryan was about. Fantasy is not reality. Remember that next time you say something without thinking.

[Highlandheadbanger]

You in all seriousness considered this a tribute to Ayn Rand and his philosophies? Did you even play it? The game reads like an essay refuting Objectivism step-by-step, each level a different paragraph showing in detail the hypocrasy and logical error of Randianism. I'm including a link to this video as part of an essay I'm writing about Bioshock as a virtual essay refuting the points of a women often used as an in-joke by much of the academic philosophical community.

[kswizel]

hold the god damn camera still next time asshole

[PenguinCinema]

Gawd, why the fuck did you have to move the mouse so damn much?

[Sea0fDreaMs]

best intro ever

[Kelpalots]

Is the person who recorded this a total idiot? Jesus stop moving the mouse so much. Its not like you're going to see more of the level anymore.

Crack is bad.

[lemonsawdust]

@Kelpalots Maybe he's being artsy, trying to take you back to the first time you set foot in Rapture and were like, "holy shit, everything's all wet, HOLY SHIT AYN RAND" or whatever.

[Joe402]

Ayn Rand is a bad person.

[raiki15]

STOP FUCKING WAVING AROUND

[cocojumb0]

BS1 was so much better then the 2nd part

[AzureKiru]

In your opinion.

[cocojumb0]

its longer, has a better story with more twists, the levels are bigger and less tubelike. the 2nd part has the remote hacking tool which is cool and using a gun and a plasmid at once is also good but overall the 1.

but youre right its just my 2 cents

[AzureKiru]

Again, longer and with more twists is more fact, while better story is opinion.

[ejbrandon]

i totaly agree with you i have both and dont find the second as good.

[MrLotteryMaster]

At 1:02, the guy looks like Jimmy Shergill.
