Real nitpicky here but while rapture is a term that appears in the Bible, once, it is not a biblical concept by any means. It was created by American evangelicals in 1833 and besides the term appearing in Thessalonians it has no actual scriptural backing.

God I never realized how sad Mark Meltzer's story was until I head this... Truely, the Bioshock series had the best personal stories hidden under the surface.
I still remember when I first played trough Bioshock 2 and seeing what happened to Mark. On my playtrough I defeated all other big daddies but I left Mark alone. I didn’t knew about this arg until now and this made my favorite moment in my favorite game even more sad and interesting!
@@koolkidwithathsma8705 because you can find logs around his area telling more about his investigation and when you find him he and the little sister he's with are the only ones besides the guy tenenbam sends to help you are the only ones that have a name you can't bring yourself to kill him
@@ziggybluwaters5060 A Big Daddy is a person who is surgically grafted into a diving suit. Initially intended to be the construction crew for Rapture, they were repurposed to guard the Little Sisters. This is why they have features such as large drill hands and rivet guns. They have been mutilated beyond belief, with no free will, and not even a voice. All they have is a pair bond between them and the little sisters, and they’ll do anything to protect them.
i never knew about the ARG, but Mark's story always made me super sad and more angry at Lamb than ever while playing bioshock 2. knowing this just makes it all the more heartbreaking.
Bioshock always scared the hell out of me because I'm so afraid of the ocean. Just started playing subnotica and it rocks too! Amazing quality video bro!
This is honestly super wholesome a dad trying to save and be with his daughter and is willing to lose himself to be with his daughter true moment of Respect to Mark
i love how the intro of this video makes this whole thing feel like a professionally made thing and i love it the whole thing feels like an episode of a tv show
I love this channel, I really do. But sometimes I really hate when Jamie leaves things out for us to find or leaves things on a cliffhanger. I just wish he’d include everything, because I’ll honestly never find the time to play a whole ARG for myself.
Wait you mean to tell me the voices in this video weren’t from the game or ARG? They were so good I’d just thought they had done the ARG with the same sort of audio logs they’d used in game
For those wondering their was a new arg discovered called there was always a lighthouse about a month ago, recently a teaser for bioshock for was released and was confirmed on the Twitter for bioshock, they said we will see an official teaser in 2023
@@rafivjehian3971 It is, but.... it's a quite about all of Rapture basically. There is always a man, always a city, always a lighthouse. And whatever Game 4 brings, it's gonna bring us A man A city And a lighthouse.
I remember reading the wiki entry for the ARG shortly after finishing BioShock: Infinite and just falling in love with the story, wish I could've experienced it first hand.
The best part of this is that in bioshock 2 as you get to the level with the carousel. You can here gun shots and a big sister screaming and hear Meltzer screaming “ she’s my daughter.” Essentially making it too late to be of any assistance
Geez, this really takes me back. I'd forgotten just how long it had been since this great ARG. I can't estimate just how many hours (hundreds, probably) I spent on this, analyzing each update and joining the speculations on the forum. It was as much fun as playing the game when it finally came out, and certainly drove the hype to a fever pitch. Thanks for the memories.
I thought you were talking about frank west, another gaming character ruined by a bad story with an ending that was so bad that they had to make a dlc for it, and a game made in less than a year it was full of glitches and the game was empty there wasn’t a lot of things to do after completing the game and the no.1 thing that made a difference between other zombie games and the deadrising series was the missiles, the city is gonna explode after 4 days and you have to complete the campaign in 4 in game days or so, they removed it
I like to think that, if he were still in his right mind, he would have gladly died to get his daughter out of Rapture. If you don't kill him, there's no way to rescue and cure his daughter.

Damn dude! That was awesome! I can't imagine how many hours you went into researching for this episode, but I loved it! I also loved how you reused NightDocs tune from the Lost video! It worked so well with it! Can't wait to see what the next video is -The Messenger Has Left His Message
The production quality of this channel just gets better and better! My dude, you're going to be a million subs deep soon, you have to be. This kind of talent cannot go unnoticed! I don't even play Bioshock, but... now I will!
Wonderful video and storytelling, everyone involved in the making of the vid did a lovely job in voicing the characters, the script and editing. I can barley remember Mark's story in my first playthrough of BioShock 2 but I do know that it was one of the in game story that I was most invested in. It really did make me sad when I found that I had killed poor mark and I believe that y heart broken when listening to the final recording.
I remember killing Mark for some extra ADAM in Bioshock 2, the audio log played and I felt bad for him. Now that I've watched this video I feel like a piece of shit for killing him.
Hey inside a mind there’s been a bot going around saying “wanna be friends” it was first noticed by Evanz111 who when making the video got his account hacked by the bot, At the end of the video he said to come to other RUclipsr for help. It would be cool if you make a video on the bot. If you do be carful not to get hacked Thank you
I participated in this back in the day, tried to solve the puzzles (I definitely wasn't responsible for any breakthroughs), and I wrote a letter to Mark to provide encouragement. I received one of the Rise, Rapture, Rise records in response. I must have listened to it a hundred times, showed it off to any gamers I could. I lost the record, along with the collector's edition of Bioshock 2, in a family member's house fire about ten years later. It was one of the few possessions from my teenage years that I really missed losing.
WOAH! What an exquisite production you've done on this video! The compositions and voice acting is superb and you've really brought this world to life while also transporting me back to 2009. This series is really something special ♥️
I commend you and the people involved in making and presenting these stories for the amount of time, work, and effort you put into them to entertain. Thank you. -Sincerely Me
Coming back and watching this, i remember when the ARG was live and completely forgot that it had a segment about New Brunswick! As a local i remember reading that part and being estatic
Brooooooo NO WAY AFTER I SAW UR VIDEOS ON CLOVERFIELD AND THE ARG U DID ON IT I WAS WAITING FOR THIS ONE NOT GONNA LIE I HAD IT IN MY GUT U WERE GONNA DO THIS IM SO HAPPY

I am so happy that ur channel is like a small documentary studio now! U deserve 10 bajillon subscribers tbh. Keep up the awesome work!
Honestly Mark Meltzer should've been the protag of Bioshock 2 rather than the nameless Big Daddy. Like the big twist could've been the big daddy you play as was an amnesiac Mark who uncovers his lsot memories via the audio logs while searching for his daughter once more.

What’s a big daddy?
Ziggy Blu Waters have you not played Bioshock or seen anyone else play it on RUclips?
If you didn't know of the Arg at the time why would you leave him alone?
@@koolkidwithathsma8705 because you can find logs around his area telling more about his investigation and when you find him he and the little sister he's with are the only ones besides the guy tenenbam sends to help you are the only ones that have a name you can't bring yourself to kill him
@@ziggybluwaters5060 A Big Daddy is a person who is surgically grafted into a diving suit. Initially intended to be the construction crew for Rapture, they were repurposed to guard the Little Sisters. This is why they have features such as large drill hands and rivet guns.
They have been mutilated beyond belief, with no free will, and not even a voice. All they have is a pair bond between them and the little sisters, and they’ll do anything to protect them.
i never knew about the ARG, but Mark's story always made me super sad and more angry at Lamb than ever while playing bioshock 2.
knowing this just makes it all the more heartbreaking.
The intro is the most banger thing I've ever seen
subnautica players: oh yeah there is something in the sea
...and if there suddenly isn't you'd better get the hell out of there fast.
*There is always something in the sea.*
You'd better hope it's not a leviathan..
Hp lovecraft fans: oh yeah there is a lot more than something in the sea
Apart from the volcanic island there really isn’t right?
I DON’T LIKE ‘EM PUTTIN CHEMICALS IN THE WATER THAT TURN THE FREAKIN FROGS GAY!
I don't like em putting cities in the water that turning the freaking people into genetically spliced freaks! Ugh! Ugh! Sick of this crap!
ITS WEDNESDAY MY DUDES AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Sal VW I never believed this story until I discovered Kermit had dumped Miss Piggy for Gonzo.
DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT
KeroPlays you misspelled Sunday
Bioshock always scared the hell out of me because I'm so afraid of the ocean. Just started playing subnotica and it rocks too! Amazing quality video bro!
I love subnatica but imagine if it was on the Nintendo switch now that will be cool
This is honestly super wholesome a dad trying to save and be with his daughter and is willing to lose himself to be with his daughter true moment of Respect to Mark
Mark's story is always the one that stands out the most to me whenever I play Bioshock 2, I just never knew there was so much more to it!
I’m only 1 minute in but there’s so much effort already it’s amazing.
MY BALLS ITCHY 😫😩

The intro's are disgustingly amazing, props to you!
Whats the name of the song?
Okay but can we APPRECIATE the intro??? It's so good!
i love how the intro of this video makes this whole thing feel like a professionally made thing and i love it the whole thing feels like an episode of a tv show
"Something alive in the ocean"
-bill wurtz
I love love love the intro! Amazingly made, almost like a tv show intro. Honestly the entire videos portrayal is incredible, keep up the good work
I wanna know what that intro song is owo
I love this channel, I really do. But sometimes I really hate when Jamie leaves things out for us to find or leaves things on a cliffhanger. I just wish he’d include everything, because I’ll honestly never find the time to play a whole ARG for myself.
That's why I first started following these types of channels.
I’ve skimmed the archive and the bio shock wiki, honestly if he included every little detail this vid would be movie length so I don’t blame him
One of the most underrated channels, the amount of quality in these are unreal
Wait you mean to tell me the voices in this video weren’t from the game or ARG? They were so good I’d just thought they had done the ARG with the same sort of audio logs they’d used in game
For those wondering their was a new arg discovered called there was always a lighthouse about a month ago, recently a teaser for bioshock for was released and was confirmed on the Twitter for bioshock, they said we will see an official teaser in 2023
Mind sending a link?
GraysonUniverse 77 theresalwaysalighthouse.com
@@gaicdarock1376 hey it doesnt work 4 me?
I thought the lighthouse website is referencing bioshock infinite??
@@rafivjehian3971 It is, but.... it's a quite about all of Rapture basically. There is always a man, always a city, always a lighthouse. And whatever Game 4 brings, it's gonna bring us
A man
A city
And a lighthouse.
I remember reading the wiki entry for the ARG shortly after finishing BioShock: Infinite and just falling in love with the story, wish I could've experienced it first hand.
Ah Bioshock 2 build up memories
OMG that intro is probably one of the highest quality intros I´ve ever seen.-
@@nooneofimportantsgrit8369 do you know what song it is?
The best part of this is that in bioshock 2 as you get to the level with the carousel. You can here gun shots and a big sister screaming and hear Meltzer screaming “ she’s my daughter.” Essentially making it too late to be of any assistance
Geez, this really takes me back. I'd forgotten just how long it had been since this great ARG. I can't estimate just how many hours (hundreds, probably) I spent on this, analyzing each update and joining the speculations on the forum. It was as much fun as playing the game when it finally came out, and certainly drove the hype to a fever pitch. Thanks for the memories.
The last time i was this early, Frank Fontaine was still "dead!"
Btw would you kindly keep being one of the best youtubers
I thought you were talking about frank west, another gaming character ruined by a bad story with an ending that was so bad that they had to make a dlc for it, and a game made in less than a year it was full of glitches and the game was empty there wasn’t a lot of things to do after completing the game and the no.1 thing that made a difference between other zombie games and the deadrising series was the missiles, the city is gonna explode after 4 days and you have to complete the campaign in 4 in game days or so, they removed it
“There’s something in the sea!” Trash. Trash is in the sea.
The people living in rapture is trash
the United States of America are also in the sea, further proving your point
@@Brd6147 here b4 arguments spring up
And like 5 Sherman tanks near England or something
@@Brd6147 Nobody can argue with that
Inside a mind: what do you usually do when I’m gone?
Me: I wait for you to come back :(
This is truly tragic like geez now I feel bad killing him in the game.
I like to think that, if he were still in his right mind, he would have gladly died to get his daughter out of Rapture. If you don't kill him, there's no way to rescue and cure his daughter.
Brett Middleton yes and big daddies are pretty much mindless drones
@@OpticBeatz It's hard to say. They certainly are bound by their conditioning, just as Jack was, but that doesn't necessarily mean they don't have any thoughts or desires of their own, just as Jack did.
he's probably happier tbh, he's with his daughter now
@@brettmiddleton7949 when i played bioshock 2 for the first time i took my time and killed every little sister in every level so yeah curing his daughter wasnt the first thing that came to my mind
This is a gorgeously produced episode! I honestly thought I was watching something recorded and posted from TV for a bit... and I had to keep reminding myself you made this! Thank you! This really improved my perception of Bioshock and, without you, I would have never known this existed.
Every time I watch this guy, his videos give me ‘BioShock’. He’s like the ‘Big Daddy’ of investigating. The videos are never ‘Little Sister’.
I’m sorry. I just couldn’t help it.
Booker maybe not a big daddy
I don’t know what’s going on either KeroPlays.
The Last bioshock your a man named booker
Makes sense. Who names their child ‘booker’ though? Definitely gonna cause problems in school.
27:08 this recording made me almost cry from hearing how defeated Mark sounded
Damn dude! That was awesome! I can't imagine how many hours you went into researching for this episode, but I loved it! I also loved how you reused NightDocs tune from the Lost video! It worked so well with it! Can't wait to see what the next video is

The production quality of this channel just gets better and better! My dude, you're going to be a million subs deep soon, you have to be. This kind of talent cannot go unnoticed! I don't even play Bioshock, but... now I will!
Finally a professional coverage of this wonderful ARG
YES! I'm so glad you picked up on this one. I remember asking my uncle if he could find a bottle
Bioshock is in the GOAT conversation for greatest FPS single player story/experience
Wonderful video and storytelling, everyone involved in the making of the vid did a lovely job in voicing the characters, the script and editing. I can barley remember Mark's story in my first playthrough of BioShock 2 but I do know that it was one of the in game story that I was most invested in. It really did make me sad when I found that I had killed poor mark and I believe that y heart broken when listening to the final recording.
This is an outstanding video. I only knew about Mark from BioShock 2 due to the recordings in the game. I love all the effort you put into it.
I remember killing Mark for some extra ADAM in Bioshock 2, the audio log played and I felt bad for him.
Now that I've watched this video I feel like a piece of shit for killing him.
It’s been so long.... I’ve missed you so much

Hey inside a mind there’s been a bot going around saying “wanna be friends” it was first noticed by Evanz111 who when making the video got his account hacked by the bot, At the end of the video he said to come to other RUclipsr for help. It would be cool if you make a video on the bot. If you do be carful not to get hacked Thank you

This has to be one of his highest production value episodes ever. A realy good watch. Good job!
The new Bioshock team cloud studios has a new arg up, it's called there's always a lighthouse.
There's not many clues yet.
Isn't it just a website?
9:25 “Coincidence? I think not!”
Hmm... Coincidence? I think not!
4minutes and there's already 1.4k views.
This is what happens when you put out good videos.
People look forward to it. ♡♡♡
I participated in this back in the day, tried to solve the puzzles (I definitely wasn't responsible for any breakthroughs), and I wrote a letter to Mark to provide encouragement. I received one of the Rise, Rapture, Rise records in response. I must have listened to it a hundred times, showed it off to any gamers I could. I lost the record, along with the collector's edition of Bioshock 2, in a family member's house fire about ten years later. It was one of the few possessions from my teenage years that I really missed losing.
WOAH! What an exquisite production you've done on this video! The compositions and voice acting is superb and you've really brought this world to life while also transporting me back to 2009. This series is really something special ♥️
I commend you and the people involved in making and presenting these stories for the amount of time, work, and effort you put into them to entertain.
Thank you.

Coming back and watching this, i remember when the ARG was live and completely forgot that it had a segment about New Brunswick! As a local i remember reading that part and being estatic
"There Is Something In The Sea"
Me: Yh, SCP 3000!!!

I got goosebumps when the video finish. It’s so satisfying like playing in the wet sand.
This is a work of art. Well done
25:15 Is the "skinny, armored freak" he's referring to a Big Sister?
This is some Lemmino level editing
Brooooooo NO WAY AFTER I SAW UR VIDEOS ON CLOVERFIELD AND THE ARG U DID ON IT I WAS WAITING FOR THIS ONE NOT GONNA LIE I HAD IT IN MY GUT U WERE GONNA DO THIS IM SO HAPPY
When your too early and there aren’t any good comments
Yeup
Yea
Yup!
I don’t mind if it’s empty, it would have more interesting comments soon.
Your Patience is Admirable
THIS WAS FANTASTIC MAN. GEEZ. I WAS THINKING AT THE BEGINNING THIS WOULD BE SOME BORING ANALYSIS BUT BOU WAS I WRONG.
U might not upload often but you are probably my favorite channel on youtube! I have practically memorized the Ghostwatch vid. I love that this vid is like a true documentary. I am so happy that ur channel is like a small documentary studio now! U deserve 10 bajillon subscribers tbh. Keep up the awesome work!
This makes me want to replay the Bioshock series.
Honestly Mark Meltzer should've been the protag of Bioshock 2 rather than the nameless Big Daddy. Like the big twist could've been the big daddy you play as was an amnesiac Mark who uncovers his lsot memories via the audio logs while searching for his daughter once more.
They planned to involve Mark more but I don't think the actual dev team really gave a shit about the ARG though beyond cameos.
He wasn't a nameless Big Daddy though. You played as Johnny Topside
@@abad77camaro ...who? also not exactly what I meant. as far as the story is cocnerned, who the big daddy you play as used to be doesn't matter.
@@sarafontanini7051 bioshock.fandom.com/wiki/Subject_Delta
Check out this history tab. Sure it’s not a HUGE storyline. But I do like that he wasn’t just a random person
I feel that would have been too similar to Minerva's Den and the whole unveiling of Subject Sigma
They really should upload this to Steam or something. It would make a great free game or DLC.
every single fucking video you make is incredible. happy birthday, jam. your editing is insane and the intro is precisely godlike. you are the god of youtube editing.
Bioshock is one of the very few videogame series that made me both having goosebumps and shedding tears at the same time. The nostalgia is real tbh
I remember trying at this ARG hard. I couldn't get it done. I remember the lock box.
So chilling to think about what if Bioshock takes place in the real world
That’s cuz it does
It doesn't
So...are there any browsers that will continue to support Flash after this year, or is it doomed to become bit rot?
This is how you do a hype campaign
The resources they put out just to built the mystery of this place is a love letter to all fans.
Holy cow, the production value in this video compared to your older ones is awesome!
The intro looks really good
It's interesting to see the effect of Ryan's and Fontaine's actions, On the surface, I mean
Me, a British child with brown hair and big eyes: o.O
