Take away the silly glasses, clown feet and mustaches, then add a drill arm, lights and an air tank and you’ve got the best Mr. Potato Head ever created. This fantastic mash-up with Bioshock is the work of Ginger Troll and makes me want to steal my kids’ toys and see if I can make one, too. Sure, it might scar them for life to find this in their toy box, but it would be totally worth it.

Before BioShock 1 and BioShock 2 an important event took place in Rapture. “In the lowest parts of the city, a small group of splicers have something planned that will change the course of Andrew Ryan’s vision of utopia.” And now a fan film, New Year’s End, gives you a peek at this historical moment. The film is exceptionally well done – nice acting, props, lighting, everything – and it managed to creep me right out.
Watch the short film after the break.
Feast your eyes on this beautiful Bioshock case mod by Gregory Mórocz. Dubbed “Welcome to Rapture”, the case takes its design cues from an antique radio. It took several years to build and, by the looks of things, the effort was more than worth it.

Imagine Rigney has put together an absolutely magnificent model of BioShock’s Rapture in Lego—and he’s only 15-years old.
Check out more images after the break to see the details he added inside and out.

If you’re as curious as I am about Bioshock 3 aka Bioshock: Infinite, then getting a look at the new action figures from NECA will give you a little thrill.
The Ladysmith Splicer looks familiar, but the Brute Splicer and the Crawler Splicer definitely have that more Steampunk edge we saw in that amazing trailer a while back.
I may need that Brute for sure.

From Geek Girl Diva: I just sat in rapt, gleeful, bloodthirsty, breathless wonder for 10 minutes.
This…
…is amazing.
This is 10 minutes of (sexy, Steampunk, nihilistic, exquisite) gameplay from the new Bioshock: Infinite.
Irrational Games, the studio behind the original BioShock has previewed an effort that is 3 years in the making—BioShock Infinite.
The game is set in 1912 and takes us out of Rapture and up to Columbia—a floating city in the clouds. It’s like the movie UP—if it was a first person shooter. It’s due out for the Xbox 360 sometime in 2012.
Check out the trailer after the break.
Now you can cuddle up with the same doll seen dangling from the hand of a Little Sister in the first BioShock 2 teaser trailer. It was made from discarded items found in Rapture, so make sure to update your tetanus shots.
