(Oh my God, I hate my voice. I CANNOT BELIEVE I REALLY SOUND LIKE THAT. WHY DID I NOT REPLAY IT BEFORE POSTING?)
EDIT: Expansion on the Life on Mars/Silent Hill crossover idea mentioned (made ten times better by the fact that you do not have to listen to my voice!):
- The end of the second episode of Series One, with the sewers and the board-with-a-nail and the radio interference, was pure Silent Hill. Seriously. And there are staticky televisions and they are the same, apart from the fact that one of them is a time-travel cop drama. Erm. Maybe not exactly the same.
- Obviously, Sam and the team venture into Silent Hill for, er... well, I cannot think of any good reason for them to be going after a reported crime in Silent Hill. It's not exactly their patrol area, after all. They just do. Then Sam starts going insane (even more insane than usual, I mean) and begins to forget about the future. THERE IS SOMEHOW SOME SORT OF A PLOT POSSIBLY. Chris probably dies at some point. I am sorry, Chris; I like you, but you seem like the sort of person who would die in Silent Hill. Sam angsts about not being able to tell what is real and about his relationship with Gene and also because Silent Hill is generally a place of angst. The end! Awesome crossover!
- It is, admittedly, not the most detailed plan ever made.

1) Your accent reminds me a bit of my friend Sinead. Er, this is a good thing?
2) I don't know a huuuuge amount about Silent Hill except that I've seen the film and also my heterosexual life partner,
She's in Japan right now - I say "right now", I mean "for a year" - so hasn't seen any of LoM s2, but she's planning to catch herself up asap. I'll mention that there's someone as obviously insane as her. ;)

...right, I have just clicked the link and OH GOD PYRAMID HEAD. HE GAVE ME HORRIBLE NIGHTMARES.

-I feel like I should make some effort to explain the Boosh and its plot/characters/whatever so that you can read the fic, though worry that this will culminate in me attempting to convert you. They're very gay, though, and I have a feeling you'd write Booshfic very well. Just sayin'. But yes, if I could rustle up some YT links and attempt to explain stuff would this be okay or absolutely horrible?
-We used to say 'Pyramid Head' to Maestro without warning at about 3am, because she was terrified of him and it made her flail around like a wimp. Then someone explained to me what Pyramid Head was, I realised it was horrific and felt horribly guilty. Life!
-Please tell me you have crossed Silent Hill with Top Gear already, dear god.
no subject
- YOU ARE AWFUL PEOPLE. PYRAMID HEAD IS NOT SOMETHING TO JOKE ABOUT. Let us ignore the fact that I have drawn him in a Father Christmas outfit and written about his collection of crystal unicorns. IF YOU JOKE ABOUT PYRAMID HEAD, IT IS ONLY TO LESSEN THE TERROR.
- I have not crossed Silent Hill with Top Gear, alas. I've crossed Silent Hill with Doctor Who and Scrubs, but the problem with crossing it over with Top Gear is firstly that I am utterly incapable of writing Top Gear angst, secondly that my interpretation of Silent Hill is that it feeds on guilt and I sincerely doubt that Jeremy is secretly tormented by guilt about Rover's demise, and thirdly that the Top Gear boys would probably be sensible enough to get the hell out of Silent Hill as soon as it started trying to kill them.
Explaining, 1.0
And in real life, too:
In the first series they're working as zookeepers in a... well, a really bizarre zoo, where there aren't a whole lot of animals. Their manager Bob Fossil is basically an idiot and his boss, Dixon Bainbridge (who he's canonically in love with - in the pilot episode he actually comes out, but never in the series, so someone must have told them to tone the gay down), is an explorer with a terrific moustache and a terrific voice. Look, I'm not explaining it very well, but please go with me on this.
The show's basically about Vince and Howard's little adventures, I can't really explain it because I am rubbish, but er...
- Bob Fossil's dancing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mzebYwZxzkQ
- Julian Barratt's a) legs and b) grin. For some reason I can't find a decent picture of the legs so, here, have a crotchshot:
Grin:
-Vince and Howard often sleep on the floor of the tiny keepers' hut in sleeping bags (proof: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nwRLkDWKhGg&mode=related&search=), plus in one episode they go to the arctic tundra together, stay in a tent and, when they think they're about to die, Howard tells Vince he loves him. What's not to love about that sentence?
-There is a lot of excitement. Look, this fanvid is like a really long and awesome trailer, here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVZovVCP1UU
I don't know why I decided it would be a good idea to explain anything at all to you, oh dear, I doubt I could explain how to make tea, but do not let my flailings put you off.
Also, I think the only reason I'm imagining a Top Gear/Silent Hill crossover is because I'd like to see Jeremy Clarkson attempting to use sarcasm as an actual proper weapon. Er, I should sit down and stop bothering everyone, sssssssssh me.

It is based entirely on 'hmm, let's throw five people with the same name into a helltown and see what happens' and *I* don't even know what's going to happen.
Surely someone would say 'no, that's a stupid idea'.

What the hell was I THINKING when I started writing it?

Well, no one you'd find on LJ. We're only here 'cause we want to find other people like us, i.e. completely insane.
Or, at least, that's why I'm here. :D
IT IS BRILLIANT AND YOU KNOW IT.

...and May and Norrington bond over the insanity by getting drunk and snogging each other in the most ridiculous of places.
ESPECIALLY THAT.

Naturally, one of the monster nurses came in and hit May on the back with a metal pipe.

Alas, I believe it is a game and therefore I can't play as I don't *do* computer games.
