      Every culture in the world thought that cameras took the soul of a person when captured in the picture.
      And there is the belief that certain films could show ghosts or spirits...
      Frankly the combat mechanic is more logical than Amnesia or Outlast...

      He joked, like every joker since release, on you using a camera to fight ghosts (you know, "pokemon snap" and all).
      I explained the reason why it makes sense and is frankly less silly that humans "forfeit" every survival instinct in what passes for "survival horror"

    I like the old intro better, it gave an unease feeling. It was freaking art. New one is also good. I honestly think you have a very rare and special talent.
    WTF didn't look at your subscriber count for an eternity, despite rewatching your content regularly. I would have made a bet you would be at 150k...
