    152. Bioshock 1
    Feb 24 2026
    In today's game, we go down into an abyss of a hell built on the best of premises. The soul of the most important philosopher of the 20th century hovers over a bastion of freedom that is now just a battle ground of a dead paradise. As we run between the crazed citizens that once believed in the dream they were promised, we must face the question of what freedom really means. Who is free, and who must follow orders? Would you kindly listen to the story of today's game "Bioshock", released in 2007.Playlist:00:00 ericade.radio - Time for Flashback, tracks from the past - today with a stories from the retro past00:06 DJ Daemon speaks: In today's game, we go down into an abyss of a hell built on the best of premises. The soul of the most important philosopher of the 20th century hovers over a bastion of freedom that is now just a battle ground of a dead paradise. As we run between the crazed citizens that once believed in the dream they were promised, we must face the question of what freedom really means. Who is free, and who must follow orders? Would you kindly listen to the story of today's game "Bioshock", released in 2007.00:49 Tuna and Cs127 - Constellation07:08 DJ Daemon speaks: In 1926, a young woman by the name of Alisa Z. Rosenbaum moved to the United States. Her memory haunted by the attrocities by the Soviet Union, she became a wellknown and influential philosopher. After a rocky start, she reached success under the pen name "Ayn Rand". She released the book "the Fountain head" and later "Atlas Shrugged". Those books set the stage for her own ideology: objectivism. This was later adopted by many that valued the strength of inviduality over collectivism. She praised the power of self fulfillment, egoism and the power of the individualism. She resented altruism and hedonism. The strong business leader, the fearless artist and the undeterred scientists were her heroes. Helping yourself stod on higher moral ground than sacrificing for others. She saw the United Stated as a country in socialist free fall. In the book "Atlas shrugged", we follow Dagny Taggart whose journey leads to the elusive "John Galt". The latter is a person that is more of a legend, who has disappeared without a trace. In the last part of the book, he is found again. He has created a town called "Galts gulch". This town is a paradise of individual freedom with very few legal and moral restrictions. What if "Galt's gulch" was located under the sea near Island and was indeed a paradise where the businesman could earn, the scientist could invent and the artist create? We are going there in Bioshock, to a small paradise called Rapture.09:05 Harlequin - X'96 invitation - 2nd round13:12 DJ Daemon speaks: You're fightring the cold waves of the Atlantic, frantically swimming to the a nearby lighthouse while the airplane you travelled with slowly sinks into the ocean. As you reach land and walk into the lighthouse. The you find the bathysphere and travel down into the city of Rapture, located under the sea. Your entry into Rapture is accompanied by a speech by raptures creator, Andrew Ryan. His name is off course an anagram of "Ayn Rand". So this is pretty much him embodying the core tenents of Objectivism. He speaks like John Galt, telling you that Rapture is the home of the greatest minds of the centuary and a society built on uncontrolled and unregulated art, science and business. The first view of the underground paradise is beautiful. You see a "skyline", if that is the proper word, of skyscrapers. As you reach the destination, the dream falls apart.14:19 Beyond - Waiting17:20 DJ Daemon speaks: The first seconds of the game is a total catastrophy. When you see the city, the first thing to happen is an attack by something that looks like a disfigured human being with some sort of claws attacking another humanoid. Soon, a message comes over the short wave radio you picked up. It's Atlas. A man who somehow know your here and asks you to help him. He needs you to go see him and guides your along the way through the terror and the mayham. You quickly learn that the people attacking you are the citizens of the now almost destroyed city. They are horribly disfigured and totally insane. They seem to believe as is well and this is just another day, while being totally oblivious to where they are and what they have become.18:18 Candiedcat - TitleOLD22:11 DJ Daemon speaks: Rapture was founded in 1946 by industrialist Andrew Ryan. It was a hidden from the world and people living there were sworn to secrecy. All went well until a seaslug later named Adam was found. The scientists found out that it could be used to splice genes in human beings. With it, you could change yourself to get super human abilities. Suddenly you got supersmart, strong or could throw lightning bolts. This exploded in popularity. But the unrestricted nature of the scientific development came with a heavy price. Using it was called splicing and a user hence was a "splicer". ...

    150. System shock 1
    Feb 8 2026
    Once again into the fray. System Shock 1 is what it's all about today. DJ Daemon joins the hacker in the corridors of terror that is Citadel station and has to confront the evil A(G)I Shodan.Also, some really fresh tracker music released in 2026 and some really old ones from the 90s. It's all about cyborgs, mutated abominations and a dungeon crawler in space. Remember the Citadel!Playlist:00:00 ericade.radio - Time for Flashback, tracks from the past - today with a stories from the retro past 00:06 DJ Daemon speaks: Today's game is System Shock 1. Follow us as we visit a dark place. It's not the first time in this podcast, but this time we will give you the whole story. We are running and sweating through the blood-drenched walls of a once peaceful place now ruled by a mad goddess who hates us with the strength of a thousand suns. But as we challenge her to a race to the death, we become her highly respected enemies. Welcome to her death machine! And you will also get some hot tracker music. Flashback, tracks from the past will soon be playing on your cyberdeck. 00:57 SLL of Kefrens - Techno1 01:45 SLL of Kefrens - Techno3 02:46 SLL of Kefrens - Techno2 04:05 DJ Daemon speaks: To get the vibes of System Shock 1, we have to talk about Cyberpunk movement. It's said to have emerged in the 70s, but got a massive boost in 1994, when Willaim Gibson released the novel Neuromancer. The world of cyberpunk is a dystopia where big corporations control the world. Neuromancer explores a cyberspace to which you can connect your minds, AI: s that are really AGI: s and alive and a world where the hacker is a rebel that refuses to be controlled by the powers that be. The way I remember, the cyberpunk movement soon went into worshipping the hacker archetype of the cyborg. That is a human with computer enhancements added. The protagonist in Neuromancer could connect to cyberspace with his mind though a wearable computer called a "cyberdeck". In System Shock 1, you are that kind of hacker, ready to strike a blow to the system. 05:15 Trackerartist - Drug 09:44 DJ Daemon speaks: Released in 1994 by Origin, System Shock 1 was a doom-esquee experience that may have been totally misunderstood. It should probably be more compared to its spiritual predecessor, Ultima Underworld rather than Doom. In its original shape, it lacked mouse view. You had to click to move your head. But if you add the mouse view addon, it plays close to the experience of Doom. Yes, it's still an FPS. That is first person shooter. You run through the corridors of a spaceship and shoot monsters, collect new weapons and ammo and avoid getting killed. It does have a lot that Doom simple did not provide. Chiefly a story driven by audio logs that you pick up along the way. 10:51 Josss - Chopper 12:54 Beyond - Lost 15:05 Ether audio - A world where air is mud 17:20 DJ Daemon speaks: The year is 2072 and you live in what was once the United States of America. You are a hacker, breaking into Trioptimum corporation and their corporate network. But you don't get far, as armed people storm your apartment and apprehend you. The transport then heads to a mining space station in orbit around Saturn. This is Citadel station and it is where the game will start. In the command bridge of the station, you meet up with TrioOptimum CEO Edward Diego. He knows what you did but offers a true “sweetheart” deal: just remove the ethical constraints from the station's onboard AI Shodan. In the end of this episode, I will delve into the question if Shodan is a living being or not. But back to the story. Mr. Diego is now pleased with your work offering you an R-grade brain implant. This is the most coveted implant, as you can now connect to networks with your mind. Diego is happy, he can now remove compromising data from Shodan and save himself from a pending investigation. You got into a 6-month healing coma before you can use your new neural implant. 18:46 Josss - Bitter peel22:31 DJ Daemon speaks: You wake up in the medical suite at Citadel station. Shodan's voice comes on in a message welcoming you back to the station. But there is something off with her voice. It stutters and seems to be weird. You grab your stuff, which for some weird reason includes a lead pipe. As soon as you leave the healing suite, a robot attacks. And it gets only worse after that. You're stuck in the medical deck, with cameras watching and the elevators disabled. And weird abominations attack from everywhere. When you find the first audio tape, you slowly start understanding what happened once you were gone. The monsters are creations of a mad scientist … Yes … Shodan. The AI that controls the station and now sees herself as a goddess. Maybe you shouldn't have performed brain surgery on a living AI and not expect there not to be consequences. The few remaining survivors are dwindling, and the resistance has by and large failed. Finally, you find the CPU clusters that are part of Shodan's brain and...
