That Looks Like Pizza To You?
Feb. 20th, 2020 03:22 pmSilent Hill 2 isn't nearly as scary playing with company as an adult as it was playing alone as a teenager, but somehow it still has the ability to work into my mind and leave me thinking about it long after I've set the controller down.
Considering how long it's been since I last played this game, I remember it in a surprising amount of detail. Which is fortunate, because otherwise I'd be bumbling around with no idea of where to go next or how to solve the puzzles. I suppose games stick in your mind if you spent most of your first playthrough absolutely terrified.
Under the cut, I talk a bit about the character of James. Major spoilers for Silent Hill 2.

I can't believe I'm back to thinking all day about James Sunderland. It's like I'm sixteen years old again.
There was a terrible moment, a couple of days ago, where I went 'hey, maybe I should resume the "write a hundred fics about James Sunderland" challenge I abandoned fourteen years ago; if you count the horrible Pyramid Head/James noncon I just found in an old e-mail, I got halfway through!' No. I should absolutely not do that.
