Warble Face: Bioshock Infinite's Songbird

The investigative documentary style of Bioshock: Infinite's Modern Day Icarus videos tickles my pleasure-nodes. The earlier reveals of the clockwork catastrophes and mechanical malignancies that roam Columbia are failures of imagination in contrast, and anyone fortunate enough to have instigated some form of media blackout regarding the game last year would be well-advised to continue that policy, with a glimmering exception for these informative and menacing reels. The first covers the vanishing of the city and the second, below, contains dark children's rhymes and the sinister Songbird.

All this and a novella too. Now all we need is a big budget Hollywood adaptation starring Jeremy Renner as a man with a gun, and Daniel Day Lewis as a cog-clogged and furious Lincoln.
