​

So, in other words...Shadowrun or BioShock?
I'm with cyberpunk.

steampunk is more awesome, and i would love to get steampunk stuff just to see it work. si elegantly designed and made.

but cyberpunk is more practical

as long as there is an automatic handjob machine i´m pleased, could care less about the inner workings of the thing...

errr back to subject cyberpunk better for simular reasons as you its just cyber punk seems the norm now.

 

[Carboncrown]

Oh come on! That's an impossible question.

 

[hem dazon 90]

thats why

 

[Rakkana]

Both have their place. But cyberpunks a clear winner.

Steampunk. I've always loved gear-works and the like.

Lately i've been re-playing bioshock and wacthing Startrek on TV, and it got me thinking which is better, Steampunk or cyber punk? So i figured i'd pose the question to you, my fellow escapists.

Personaly i like Steampunk better because we are geting closer to cyberpunk every day and it's starting to seem...ordinary.

i say both. they both have their cool factors.

I like Cyperbunk more. *polishes Ghost in the Shell fanboy badge*

Just great, I was going to pick steampunk because I love Girl Genius [http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20021104] and now I can't decide.

Steampunk for being different.
Cyberpunk is now.

 

[TheSentinel]

Dieselpunk. It exists.

 

[BlackWidower]

Steampunk for aesthetic. Cyberpunk for realism.

 

[Substance-E]

Cyberpunk all the way. Steampunk is fine until they try weirdass stuff like steam powered computers or other modern technology and then it just kind of turns into a bad fanfic joke to me...

No matter how wacky cyber punk gets it's at least plausible. We may not have half-human half-animal people yet or cyborgs but cybernetics and genetic engineering are real...

 

[Cowabungaa]

Aesthetics-wise I go for steampunk, atmosphere-wise it's a tie.

I really see no point in picking one. I just love both.

Dieselpunk. It exists.

Indeed, as BioShock is the closest thing to a dieselpunk videogame we've got. It's way too advanced for steampunk.

 

[Axolotl]

Neuromancer, Bladerunner and Deus Ex.

Cyberpunk easily.

It's funny I know the steampunk aesthetic but I can't think of any actual pieces of media that are steampunk.

STEAMPUNK STEAMPUNK STEAMPUNK

MY GOD STEAMPUNK

I love Zepplins (sp?) and brass and victorians and empire and 'Zulus, sah, Faasands of 'em!

For TechnoQueen and Country!

How about Both?! Steber Punk!
