With the upcoming Bioshock 2 (releasing worldwide Tuesday, February 9th) I decided to interview the character that has been called the soul of Bioshock, Big Daddy, and get his views on the game that made him a star. 

BatmanPrime: It's good to have you here, Mr. Daddy.

Big Daddy: It's good to be here, Mr. Prime.

BatmanPrime: Can you tell me about your life before Bioshock?

Big Daddy: Hmm, where to begin? I was working at a [name withheld for legal reasons] for a while since I never passed high school. I was that guy in school who smoked all the time and was in his own band and who you knew would never amount to anything. I even got nicknames like "Hooky" - my teachers called me that for an entire year before everyone else realized it would work well with me since I was always in a scuba suit - and also...well, that's it actually. Pretty soon my girlfriend Rosie was sick of me coming home smelling like french fries and onions. So I took the initiative and auditioned for a part in an upcoming video game called Bioshock. I didn't know who was directing it, but the company in charge of it was called Irrational Games. I Wiki'ed them and was surprised to find out that an old friend of mine was in one of their past games. SHODAN never was big, even in school she was that computer nerd that the other nerds wouldn't even go out with. Guess she proved them wrong, eh? Well, actually not really, but you know what I mean. I got to know her a little after Rosie introduced us, but then she left for the east coast, determined to change her life. I was told that she got a part into a cult hit video game, but I never thought that I would someday be following her footsteps. [Laughs]

BP: So you auditioned and got the part. Was it easy?

BD: Are you kidding me? It was the hardest and scariest moment in my life! If I get in, I'm going to have to work to make my part feel alive and not disappoint these guys. If I fail, it's back to the fryer and to the stupid dollar menu. Do you know how many jackasses come to [name withheld for legal reasons] when I'm on the cashier? Way too many. And you know what's even worse? Almost all of them were hippies. *** hippies. They smelled like manure with more manure piled on top of it. Um, where was I?
