Yes, This Really Is The Sort Of Thing I Think About.
AUGH
I NEVER NOTICED IT BEFORE BUT IN SILENT HILL 2 JAMES NEVER TELLS MARIA HIS NAME
SHE JUST KNOWS IT
AUGH AUGH AUGH
I keep thinking I should play Silent Hill 2 again, but I can't bring myself to on account of my being, you know, absolutely terrified of it. The things that scare me the most are always so tiny - whenever I think about playing it again I always remember a particular point in Alternate Brookhaven Hospital, when you've just come back into the corridor from the garden and everything's changed and suddenly the camera angle sways sickeningly. That's what terrifies me. A camera angle shift has me too afraid to play the game again.
Stupid tiny terrifying things.
I've been wondering recently whether there's any fandom that could actually win against Silent Hill in a crossover. By this, I mean that you could cross it over with Silent Hill and have the dominant tone not be misery and angst. Doctor Who came closest, I think, but Of Towns and Toasters still felt more Silent Hill-ish than Doctor Who-ish, and when I tried including James Sunderland, Silent Hill completely thrashed it. On the two occasions I've tried crossing it over with Scrubs, Silent Hill did horrible things to the Scrubs tone. It always wins the crossover. Is there a fandom that would have a fighting chance?
(Hammond is walking and talking and eating and apparently furious that the BBC are postponing the new series of Top Gear, because dammit, he's not going to let a little thing like a three-hundred-mile-an-hour crash slow him down. The man is immortal, I swear.)
There are more italics in this post than should technically be legal. Sorry about that.

As yet, I haven't played any more. My PS2, alas, remained behind when I left for Uni, you know? However, with all my games sitting on the shelf just waiting to be played, plus KH2 FINALLY getting it's UK release this Friday, I believe this weekend may see me purchasing a replacement. Which'll mean an SH2 post within the week, I'm sure.
Wow, it'd suck to get spoiled ahead of time, I'd bet. I keep worrying that, having come this far, I'm somehow gonna end up stumbling on huge spoilers anyway and ruin everything. That'd suck beyond words.
Gah, that was horrible! I just didn't expect it at all, and there was no cutscene of anything, I just bumped into him. It was ridiculous! But man, I can imagine what it would have been like for you, too - knowing he was there but just not knowing where. Yikes.
(I WAS VERY PERTURBED.)
You just love my suffering, you foul creature~! But I have a lot of fun writing it, so I guess it's okay. Also, I missed the fact the open grave had James' name, but AUGH. I think that's the creepiest thing so far. Stupid game u__u
