Well that robot looks sooo steam punk.
Well we're actually mostly using steam punk tech, like nuclear reactor boiling water to make steam to turn turbines.
Not that combustion engines are any more advanced, is very similar to steam powered engines.

Two of may all time favorite games, Thief 2 and American McGee's Alice are pretty steampunk influenced. I've grown to quite appreciate the genre, but I hate those stupid goggles they wear!
But the mermaid and fairy myths have been so sweetly sentimentalized over the years people forget that they were originally quite ambivalent towards humans in the old myths. Both sweet and nasty at times. I just find it fun to do something with the less cutesy side of mermaids and fairies.
