Just so you know... never watch your housemates play Silent Hill 3 late at night, in a kind of creepy old house, when you have to go down to sleep alone in a big room in the basement with only a spazzy cat for company. It's just not smart.

theladyfeylene has Link. nekokoban has my big stuffed black panther. zinjadu has my stuffed white tiger cub. I have... all the little stuffed animals, and my big spazzy cat. Who's sleeping up on the shelf thingy, sprawled out like a centerfold model.

I think this is payback for me secretly thinking Terra was being silly by being so freaked out by Silent Hill. I was wrong. Creepiest game EVER.

Think Silent Hill 3 is creepy... 'wait til she gets her hands on SH4. >:D~ It's even worse (better!) Muwahaha.

o.O Oh dear. I thought there were only three of them.......... Wah.

??? A video game ???

[narsilion.livejournal.com]

Holy crap, you guys are freaked out by a video game?
How bad IS it? Besides, your wonderful Theoden wouldn't let someone/thing hurt you, he loves his Mommy ;P
Seriously, what's the deal with this game, and if it's THAT bad, why are you guys playing it? YIKES!

Re: ??? A video game ???

It's bad. And the cat, brave though he is, would probably be more likely to go "screw you, bitch!" and run, if something actually came in here. After all - he's a cat.

It's just veeeeeery creepy. And we're playing it because Terra and Fey are insane, and because it seemed like a good idea, and because you really do get kind of hooked into "oooo, what's gonna happen next???"

It's neat, until (for instance) I was coming upstairs last night after everyone else had gone in their rooms so the house was really dark and I couldn't see anything. That was creepy. And I kept thinking I heard things while I was brushing my teeth.

Besides, you know I'm a wimp.

I still haven't been able to go potty.

[narsilion.livejournal.com]

you haven't gone potty since last night??
You have a young bladder obviously! ;)

[rivendellrose.livejournal.com]

Lol. I was fine with going potty, it was while I was brushing my teeth last night that I got scared. I had to brush facing out, leaning against the sink, so I could keep watch on the door.

Oh, my poor girl! LOL!
I can just see all of you, scaring each other with the sounds you make when each of you gets up during the night.
It's like a funny movie. Maybe you shouldn't tell them about #4
that would definately be my thought on the matter ;P

AHAHAHAHAHA.

We have the Lost Memories DVD :D It has Silent Hill MUSIC VIDEOS. Only, you know, really really fucked up ones. >.>

Also, Heather is so cool. Best SH protagonist, along with Harry from 4 (and boy do I recommend 4. so. good.).

Have You Seen This Girl?

I dunno, the guy from the first one was awesome for asking anyone (or anything) he met if they had seen his daughter. I am thinking of the UFO ending particularly. He gets my "Best T-1000 Impersonation" Award.

Actually...

I found Fatal Frame 2 scarier than the SH series...until you actually have to fight a monster, that is. Then it's just annoying. But yeah...FF will break your head, it's so creepy. I can't even play it at night....-_-

YIKES! aren't you a big strong guy?? Is it really THAT scary?

In Defense of Fear

[capnexposition.livejournal.com]

Well, first, let me preface my response by saying that I am a great big wuss when it comes to atmospheric horror. So my comments may become suspect in light of this. I leave that judgement to the observer.
Having said that, yes, Fatal Frame 2 is damned scary. Plot: twin girls get trapped inside a rural Japanese village that disappeared from the face of the earth ages ago in the middle of a mysterious ritual intended to ward off evil spirits. The village is trapped, eternally playing out the fateful night, lost in the dark. The girls must discover what happened to the village, and hopefully find a way to escape.
Now, as I said, atmospheric horror scares the bejeezus out of me. SH never did that because you get guns. Guns make everything better. Zombie doberman? No worries, you can bust a cap in it, or failing that, lock it out and wait for it to leave. Freaky twitching undead people? Take a chainsaw to them and call me in the morning.
In Fatal Frame you don't get a gun. You don't even get a handy 3-foot length of pipe. You get a camera. That's it. A camera versus a village full of tortured spirits driven mad with fear. Thanks, guys.
Also, rooms covered with blood and rotting corpses don't scare me. It's gross, but it's not scary. The worst has happened, and it happened to somebody else, thank heavens.
But picture this: you are wandering through a rural village, and there is nobody there. No signs of violence, no blood, no violence, no nothing. It is always dark, and you have just wandered into a large manor house with your trusty flashlight. There are weird shadows everywhere, and every so often you hear, just at the edge of hearing, the hint of a board creaking or a hushed whisper. You see the brief hint of a sillhouette across the room from you, behind a mouldering curtain. Then, your flashlight dies. You can't see the shadow, or the door, or much of anything else. But you know someone was there. You could hear them breathing. THAT is fear. And I'm not even halfway through the game.
Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go make some cocoa and find my baseball bat.

That IS fear!!! can I have a cup of cocoa, and can I hide behind you with your baseball bat.....pleeeaase? ;P

[erynn-lasgalen.livejournal.com]

It sounds sort of like Resident Evil. Is it good, besides being so scary? Or, does the fact that it is so scary make it good? (I want to play it!)
