In the dark ages before the internet was a fixture in every class room, you’d occasionally get video days where a weary and underpaid teacher would wheel in an outdated TV and ancient VCR.

After plugging in a third hand VHS — and fooling around with the tracking for about five minutes — said teacher would retire and let the kids watch a poorly copied version of a so-called educational TV show, usually produced by the American PBS channel and with tenuous connections to anything being learnt in class.

If you remember any of that, then this new Bioshock Infinite trailer is about to truly tickle your fancy. And if you're too young to recall, just sit back and enjoy anyway.
