See Booker's Custody Issues Unfold In BioShock Fan Video


It's hard sharing custody of a teen, and pushy boyfriends don't help. Spoilers ahoy!

Michael Shanks of Doomsday Arcade fame [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/profiles/articles/Timtimfed] is a Melbourne-based Kiwi with an eye for reality show comedy, and this time out he takes a shot at Irrational's BioShock Infinite. It can't be easy raising a teenager, not with daddy issues like these, and the boyfriend doesn't help, never mind sharing custody with her batty other dad Comstock. Booker manages to get through the day with a little help from the cancer sticks, and his buddy Bill; but does he miss Columbia? Well, see for yourself.

Shanks is one of the members of Ken Levine [http://latenitefilms.com/] had to tip a hat to Shanks' BioShock shoot; high praise!

For those who enjoy behind the scenes stuff, Shanks' Facebook [http://www.facebook.com/timtimfed] is well worth a look. For a man who says he's "very uneasy about self promoting himself on the internet," Shanks does a pretty good job of it; but then, work like this is worth promoting.

That was reeeaaally great. If only some of the shows here were as funny as this. I miss Doraleus...

The way he emulated Jim from the Office was kinda creepy. Like in a really talented way. I liked the part where the bird crashed into the window.

You didn't mention that Michael Shanks had the show Doomsday Arcade here on the Escapist? Seems relevant....

 

[Irridium]

He also made Doomsday Arcade for the Escapist. If you haven't seen it, you really should.

Here's [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/doomsday-arcade/492-Episode-One] a link to the first video. Enjoy!

As do I... thankfully though it's coming back! Just not here. But still! They did a kickstarter not too long ago and it got funded. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1587328364/doraleous-and-associates So we'll be seeing more Doralingus eventually!

Huh there is a face I wasn't expecting to see again, I will definitely give his Facebook page a look.

You're absolutely right. Funny story: when I posted this, I fed Michael Shanks into the system and had nothing back, but it seems what I ought to have done was put in Timtimfed. The perils of naming!

 

[Imp_Emissary]

That was great!

Brought back some good memories of Doomsday Arcade too.

I feel so old now. I've been on the site so long that I lecture employees on the history of their site. I feels like yesterday when a friend said "What, have you not seen Zero Punctuation?"

"One thought it would be cool to sell a baby, and the other thought it would be cool to buy a baby."

That line alone had me roaring. Well worth the watch!

The Dollar Bill machine was the kicker for me. God, I love this video.

 

[Owlslayer]

Pretty damn hilarious indeed. And as others have mentioned in this thread already, the video brings back great memories of Doomsday Arcade.
God, now i really want him to make a new show on the Escapist.

 

[Daaaah Whoosh]

It's already been said, but damn, do I wish Doomsday Arcade was still around.
