Halloween Special: Silent Hill 3




Sorry for the late post everyone! I have apparently pissed off the very specific deity of computer monitors so misfortune ensued. Don't get excited, though. It is still quite broken. I have merely used a combination of ingenuity and favors Satan owes me. Basically, I turned it on to see how it was doing, and moved it around to the point where it decided to work. I assure you, the second it moves an inch it will become enraged and possibly kill small to average sized children. So while I have it working I will post as much as possible before I hand it over to Stephen to fix this thing (without pay of course).

Anyway, I don't mean to step on Austin's Silent Hill features, but I would feel a fool if I didn't talk about this moment in an article over scary things. And seeing as my online handle is actually in the title of the blog, he can deal with it *puts on sunglasses while the scream from Don't Get Fooled Again plays". Anyway, I have a confession to make about this one. I haven't actually played the game. BUT, I did watch Austin play through it in its entirety and this moment didn't require me to be playing the game to be scary so there!Cuddles wuuuuvs youuuuu!

ANYWHOOOOO, this moment actually came as a shock to my roommate/friend/co-writer
Austin and me, as it took place at a rather peculiar time. The protagonist, Heather, has to enter an amusement park, where she actually died at in a dream at the beginning, and make her way through it. Of course, this being an amusement park in a horror game, she has to go through a haunted house. We were a little unsettled by this, but as we listened to the recording that plays over the segment we came to the conclusion that something rather clever was going on. The thing is the whole situation seemed rather hokey. In a game full of unspeakable horrors and scares it became apparent that the haunted house was purposefully made cheesy. I actually found it amusing. And then this happened... sometime after the 1 minute mark.


SCREW YOU GAME! HOW DARE YOU BE A HORROR GAME THAT LURES ME INTO A FALSE SENSE OF SECURITY!!

Anyway, now that I've changed pants, I must continue my writing spree. I have reviews to work on and only a little time before my computer goes all wonky again. Remember readers, you can help me appease the monitor god simply by sending me money. Lots and lots of money.
