...it was Dieselpunk. Yes, there is a difference - go Google it (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyberpunk_derivatives#Dieselpunk).
This article by The Guardian gets it *completely* fucking wrong - http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/gamesblog/2012/mar/01/bioshock-infinite-release-date
I'm obvs having a bad Monday morning if something as petty as that makes me angry enough to post this.
couldnt give you a fuck am sorry :(
Thanks Gherrit, that was very interesting. I've been a big fan of Diesel/Decopunk without even knowing it had a name! Cheers ;-)
I suppose Fallout would fall into a Atomopunk category? In which case I'm a fan if that too :-D
Yes, Fallout is technically post-Apocalyptic Atompunk.
It's Steampunk.
These extra genres are BS created by Kindle authors. Just because they're on Wikipedia, it doesn't mean they actually exist other than in those author's minds.
@ Stardog: BULLSHIT. You think Cyberpunk, Steampunk and Dieselpunk - the three most popular forms - are limited to literature, movies and videogames? Think again, motherfucker:
Steampunk fashion: http://www.whitemischief.info/category/dressup/steampunk
Dieselpunk fashion: http://www.dieselpunks.org/photo/albums/dieselpunk-fashion-1
In London, there are even *different* club nights dedicated to cyberpunk, steampunk and dieselpunk - and *yes*, they're separate, despite sharing some similarities.
So FUCK YOU.
[/still having a bad week]
EDIT: Also, how the fuck is The Rocketeer or Sky Captain & The World of Tomorrow Steampunk? Both are Dieselpunk. #GEEKRAGE
So in summary, dressing up: serious business.
