Big Daddy (Bioshock) I finally lost my mind enough to try to tackle one of these big guys.

Big Daddy (Bioshock)

For those unfamiliar, Big Daddys are the protectors of the Little Sisters in Rapture, an underwater city devoid of morality which has degenerated into chaos and insanity. They are huge, fast, strong, and as it turns out, a solid pain in the ass to build. Could the Romans have build a steam engine? The Byzantines or maybe the Chinese? What technologies are needed to build a steam engine and when was the earliest that one could have been built? : AskHistorians. Voodoo Macbeth.

The Voodoo Macbeth is a common nickname[1] for the Federal Theatre Project's 1936 New York production of William Shakespeare's Macbeth, featuring an all-African American cast directed by Orson Welles.

The production relocated the setting of the play from Scotland to a fictional Caribbean island based on Haiti, and acquired its nickname due to its use of voodoo imagery in place of the witchcraft in the original play.[2] A box-office sensation, the production is regarded as a landmark theatrical event for several reasons: its innovative interpretation of the play, its success in promoting African-American theatre, and its role in securing the reputation of its 20-year-old director.
