Alternate history fiction and anachronistic clothing are cool by me.

Why does everyone seem to think that steampunk is only confined to the 19th century? What about early-to-mid 20th century? I like those.

Steampunk is an indulgence of pathetic fantasy by bourgeois capitalist elitist pigs who will pay dearly when the Reveloution comes for their behavior.

Are you gonna say that Richard Cribb is a capitalist because he likes Victorian history?

Nothing wrong with liking a particular aesthetic, wherever or whenever it comes from. Besides, you could always have Soviet steampunk.

You're being sarcastic right?

Nonsense, steampunk is awesomesauce. Its like a last gasp attempt at modernity without embracing modernism and post-modernism.

People who do not NES should not converse with Kara. He lives his Putin character.

Anyone got more cool images to report?

 

[Cheezy the Wiz]

Because top hats make everything cooler.

I wouldn't call it steampunk if it were based on post WW1 technologies.

Steampunk is a sub-genre of science fiction and speculative fiction, frequently featuring elements of fantasy, that came into prominence in the 1980s and early 1990s. The term denotes works set in an era or world where steam power is still widely used—usually the 19th century, and often Victorian era England—

Dis why?

 

[aelf]

"usually" is the key word there.

I wouldn't call it steampunk if it were based on post WW1 technologies.

So what would you call the style of something like Bioshock?

 

[Elta]

Bioshock is a Diselpunk game - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyberpunk_derivatives#Dieselpunk

If you want to be very specific - Atompunk.

Hmph. It seems they are crawling out of the woodwork to attack me from afar, under the guise of criticising my views on Anime.

I will only say this once but i cannot stress it enough:
animes are gay.

While it drives the thread along. Lets please drop the debate. If you don't like SteamPunk, don't post in this thread...

Unfortunately no. Well not yet, there are supposed to be 3 others, but as this was released in 2005 and there's been no word of production on the others, I wouldn't hold my hopes up. But at least we have this awesome one!

Cool graphic, but why do Norway and Sweden look like giant schlongs?
