Let's Drown Out... Silent Hill

- Gabriel and I discover at length that we don't have any particularly strong opinion on the Facebook - Oculus VR thing, and then start talking about the Count of Monte Cristo for some reason, while playing the first Silent Hill under a special custom condition that I have named Stupid American Developer. Sorry, did I say 'developer'? I meant Stupid American Tourist.
It's really fun listening to people in the past discussing news when you, in the present, know how the situation ultimately turned out. Like the "Facebook creepy" thing. With countless privacy scandals, perpetual privacy lawsuits in Europe and them basically rebranding Oculus into "Facebook VR" and mandating login with Facebook and enabled telemetry to both use the headset and have access to the games you bought through it... Yeah, Notch was 100% correct - "Facebook creepy"
I miss the let's drown out series
Amen
"Evil cult summons dark god, yawn!" Coming from the man who made like five games with that very same premise.
In Consuming shadow there are TWO evil gods.
Mike MD Another consuming shadow reference at 10:14 "You tell the man that he was attacked by some youths in halloween costumes"
+Mike MD Yea, Yahtzee has never been one to practice what he preaches. He also claims to hate randomness in game design and large exposition dumps but uses both of those quite often in his own games.
SpydersByte he never said he wasn't a hypocrite.
+SpydersByte This may be a strange concept for some people, but people's opinions change as they get older and have new experiences. What you say now may not always be true forever, as something may happen to change your view point. :)
"I'll go to jail Jimmy, I don't fucking care."
Oh my god been laughing for 5 minutes straight, I dunno why that was so funny but omg it tickled me xD
Same here. I found the whole exchange hilariously hysterical.
Second that. Or third. It was Double Dragon-esque.
Do you feel lucky?
You're gonna learn your fucking 2x table or one of us isn't leaving this room, Jimmy.
the police chick is playing resident evil, the dude is playing silent hill
I love that the FB VR conversation has inadvertently become relevant courtesy of the Meta rebranding
I'm sorely disappointed we never got to see a "Let's Deconstruct" video before Yahtzee left Australia. I would have really liked to see him go over SH2 with a fine-tooth brush and pick out all the little details that make it such a classic. For whatever Yahtzee's faults as a reviewer may be, he's very thorough and analytical when it comes to examining games. Whenever he's discussed games as a medium for storytelling in the past, it's usually just been passing asides in ZP reviews. A lengthy video where he's doing that would be right down my alley.
yeah he always mentioned SH2 being one of his favorite game, so I looked it up only for him never doing any LDO gameplay of it. It is unfortunate, becoming urban myth of its own niche viewers :'(
“Nobody expects anything from Australia”
This has even greater meaning in 2021. Our expectations were low but holy shit.
I like to imagine that the Health drink is just a bottle of beer or some other alcoholic beverage. so as the story goes on all the strange shit can be explained by the fact that Harry Mason is getting progressively more drunk (you know because he's a writer)
In games where you use painkillers, or specifically something like morphine or laudanum (which is an opiate), it does kind of make more sense to imagine the character never actually heals injuries, they just keep doping themselves up on stuff that makes them ::think:: they are better.
Well fuck-a-doodle-doo.
and maybe silent hill was not abandon at all, maybe the town just don't enjoy people liike harry, james and harry
Gabe always sighs before trying to make a point
Cus he's a hipster
51:56
Yahtzee: "Someone was telling me last night that Alexandre Dumas was black."
Harry: "What? It's getting dark again?"
50:15 They chose that for a monster because Alessa was afraid of the winged creatures from The Lost World. All of the monsters and nightmares in the first Silent Hill are manifestations of her fears and trauma just like the monsters and Nightmares in Silent Hill 2 are the manifestations of James's trauma.
"Suffer like G did!?!?!?!?" Man that line brings back arcade memories...
They're also a pretty great instrumental/math rock band. You should check them out.
14:50 - Checking the map constantly says tourist from America, but bullets everywhere says American setting.
We still need a twitter fight between Yahtzee and Stephen King
Angus Seydel - I doubt that Stephen King would grant Yhatzee the free publicity.
I will save this to the evening... Have a glass of wine and savour the fullness of this discourse between two ingenious individuals. Like a waterfall full of vibrant bubbles.
I'm not sure what I like more about this show, letsplay videos with intellectual conversation, or the fact this is the only RUclips channel with videos I can scroll down to the comments on and see people sharing opinions and sharing info rather than youtube's usual fucktarded ape-men mashing misspelt misguidance into their keyboards
I feel like RUclips would be much better without the comment system. Almost all youtubers have a Twitter account or a tumblr page. It'd be best to keep the good content on RUclips without a bunch of fuckwits ruining it for the rest of us.
SmoothJacks If you feel that way, you're more than welcome to simply not give them a read. Pretend they don't exist, BAM all your youtube dreams have come true.
Jade Venator That's true. I tend not to read any comments but for some reason this episode of let's drown out the game was boring enough to convince me to scroll down xD
SmoothJacks while it would feel nice to just blink out the stupid comments out of existence, thats a bit like censorship and that's a No-no. you see something stupid just be glad its revealed its presence and ignore it
AdventKnyght That's true. I never really thought of it that way. But now that I'm here in the comments the original commenter had a valid point. We're having a respectable debate on the internet in the RUclips comments. It truly is an astonishingly nice thing :D
The "Study Dammit" poster was based on a real poster. And the guy holding the gun? Stephen King. Not even joking.
I found out one play through that the monsters can see your light and here your radio. So if you turn them off they won't be attracted to you as much. Though you are a LOT more likely to be blind sided.
I'm surprised how well the graphics in this game have aged.
Anyway, have a good one.
One use of VR I could see outside of gaming is digital filmmaking. The film Rango was designed as a giant 3D set that lined up with a gymnasium sized studio. The director was able to walk around the studio with a tablet in hand and decide on camera angles by looking through the tablet into the 3D world. VR would be an extension of that.
When you find an abandoned wheelchair in a spooky setting its best to just think that a miracle happened and not "omg i'm in a horror movie/game". You know best case scenario.

Based Yhatzee remains thoroughly stumped.
Gamer, Nerd, No lifer
You missed the point. We know the words exist, it's that calling yourself a "gamer" is cringey as fuck. Calling yourself a lot of the words you listed would also be cringey as fuck. You don't define yourself by what you do like that, you don't need a title, and anyone who can't understand that is someone I feel sorry for, because it means that they don't see the cringey-ness of it, and will use those descriptive words when interacting with people who do.
Ian White Gamer is cool. However it would be nice if there were words to specify the types of vidya you play.
No... calling yourself a gamer is not cool, you seem to have completely missed the point of what he Ian said.
+Jake Jutras now i get the point that ian makes, and i do kinda stand by it, humans don't need a title to overview what they do for entertainment, but i am a gamer, and i stand by that, i watch video jounalist shows on youtube i keep up with news on video games and i watch lets plays and other various things on youtube to do with the electronic entertainments industry, because thats what a gamer SHOULD do, if someone wishes to make a title of their life then by jove encapsulate all areas, avid readers of books, movie goers, sports fans all do the same, its a shame to downplay or feel shame for doing so, just because you class yourself as a gamer doesn't make you any less of a full completed human. games have impacted society in a big way, look back at the 90's gamers were hated and scorned for what everyone now does in one form or another, its not a problem anymore, it's good times
This game aged surprisingly well. Holy shit. And I haven't even seen anything from it until now, since I first played it in 1999. And I despise about 95% of video games. But then you get gems like this.
"-or a giant robot fight"
*Mechs In The City*
I also hate it when they shoehorn in a completely unprecedented and unnecessary romance into a story.
*Coughs* Six Days a Sacrifice *Coughs*
@Dottoman not anymooooooore. Though to be fair, while shoehorned, that romance was thematically needed.
The cult in Silent Hill aren't really supposed to be the enemies of the game. They're just the catalyst for ancient powers taking over and haunting the town. There was always a strange unknowable force in the area and when the cult came along and one of its members gave birth to a daughter with psychic powers it was just a recipe for disaster. They didn't create the dark forces. They sort of accidentally harnessed them with Alessa's power
It sort of reminds me of my favorite line from the show True Blood. In the first season one of the characters hires a witch doctor to perform an exorcism on her because she's convinced that the reason she is miserable is because she's possessed by a demon. She later on finds out that the witch doctor was a charlatan.
And then at the end of the first season a strange woman shows up in town who then goes on to use strange mystic powers to brainwash everyone in town and turn them into violent hedonists. She reveals herself as a maenad and states that the witch doctor was the one who summoned her during the exorcism. This prompts the character who underwent the exorcism to ask if the witch doctor actually had powers and the maenad responds "Unfortunately no. But you can't play around with that kind of ritual and raw power and not expect anything to happen". I think that line perfectly describes what happened in Silent Hill.
I can 100% guarantee that I will call Benjamin "Benjamin" if I ever meet him in public.
The quote at the beginning, I'm pretty sure it means that if you fear death enough you will eventually fear living.
There's actually an anime adaptation of Count of Monte Cristo set in the distant future where the count is a space vampire. I shit you not.
And is a lot like the multiverse theory. Any and all possibilities and realities exist.
Justin Bonds Games
yea, except that you can rent it from netflix. "Gankutsuou: The Count of Monte Cristo"
I'm not saying that isn't true. I'm saying that there's such a huge amount of anime, it'd be hard to find a situation that doesn't play out in one of them.
oh. fair enough. I mostly just wanted to use this as an opportunity to source my claim :)
One of my favourite anime's ever! XD
Gankutsuou: The Count of Monte Cristo :P
Binge watching these during the pandemic, you are a fleck of sanity yhatzee
Wow, Yahtzee talking about Gankutsuou: The Count of Monte Cristo.... and he liked it.
Well, he's not wrong to- it's pretty good, actually.
Wait! Am I in a parallel universe, where Jazz Jackrabbit games are considered bad games? Well the first one maybe (although it was good Imho), but the 2nd one was freaking great.
Also I'd love a GPS with yahtzee's voice. "After 100m, turn left, you tw@".
Oh god, just noticed the pain sound from the flying things reminds me of the goblins from Elder Scrolls Oblivion
Oh, shit, you are a thousand percent correct.
Ben "back of the hand" croshaw
Ben "don't make me put on the pointy ring" croshaw
Ben " another word out of you and it's bleach for dinner" ... Croshaw
That last one was a bit of a stretch
Ben "croshank" Croshaw.
Ben "crowbar" Croshaw.
"THAT'S BIG TALK, COMIN' FROM EUROPE." lol
Soooo Yahtzee... "Lets Drown Out... Silent Hill 2" maybe?
Great shout
Only if it goes more than an hour, I want to see him doing ever. Single. Second of that game.
Benjamin Croshaw...
It's too bad Cheryl will never finish reading COOWIGR DINOX.
What's the use of Aspirin besides the whole pain-killing thing? Its antiplatelet properties that prevent blood clots that cause heart attacks and strokes, your sarcastic quip has been foiled by my vast body of medical knowledge! Har har hardy har har!
Mr. Big Snake Getting help from Para-Medic is cheating.
Choleric Raven I'm actually a nurse, I've never heard of Para-Medic. I'm guessing either app or website?
Actually she was a character in MGS 3 who acted as Snake's medical advisor. It was an unoriginal in joke.
This comment chain is ironic now that you changed your profile to snake lmao
SH3 is definitely my favourite out of the three. The story, atmosphere and game design all being the best the series has to other. I particularly like the art choices and the dark theme.
finnishtrollXD And thus the debate of strength between either the eerie loneliness where the world slowly turns and decays, where life is empty and lacking... while others take joy in the violent process of birth and emotional despair over such things, with the world being violent, painful, and red.
Both are good as they are.
It had some great moments but it was so loud and frantic that it didn't really draw me in like SH2 did.
The Japanese "grey children" enemies were replaced with green lizard children in America, then removed from the European release of the game. The children enemies were removed because we had a school shooting in recent memory at the time Silent Hill was being localised, so they changed the enemies to something less of a sore spot.
The children enemies still show up in the European game, albeit untextured. They attack you during the "Nowhere" section.
There should be a mod that replaces Harry Mason with Liam Neeson.
YEEEESSS
Then again, I feel like it wouldn't make him any more or less of a badass.
Or Batman. Where is she!? Slap, slap, slappity slap slap. Etc.🤷♂️
Maybe Gabe should start a Kickstarter for a horror game set in the Outback. Make several million dollars before development has actually started. Then make a shit game and retire in comfort.
Outback: the sequel to Outlast!
Perspective shift is what gave us the brilliant film Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead, which is you haven't seen it, you absolutely have to.
I was hoping either Yahtz or Gabe would bring it up. Alas...
Richard Matheson wrote I am legend.
forget a silent hill set in Australia.. i want one set in an abandoned disneyland with people in mascot costumes with bleed eyes and mouths... and the end boss is walt disney's severed head with wires connected to it that's on top of a stitched together body made of body parts from half a dozen bodies. he summons zombie mickey mouses that try to hack you up with a baseball bat topped with goofy's severed head and shards of glass sticking out of it, while doing his trademark happy go lucky laugh.... or it might make a good children's book
so I'm watching this at a quiet section of the library. At the exact moment at 7:20 where Gabriel screamed "MY DICKKKKK" my earphone became accidentally unplugged and the sound came on super loud in a study room of 20 people.
Thanks Obama.
It's two years later, have you recovered?
The guy with the gun in the Study Dammit poster is Stephen King! Fun fact :P
Damn yous first
Of course Alexander Dumas was mixed race. Ain't you seen Django Unchained???
Oh right, non-interactive medium and all that
I came to hear a long dialogue on Yahtzee's feelings on Silent Hill and left with the knowledge that he and his friends have the same hollow and arm chair conversations as my uninteresting friends.
I don't care where you are, no small town has roads that wide. That would either be a highway or roads in a huge city like new york
Big talk from Notch calling Facebook creepy when he sold his own baby to Microsoft that same year.
Yahtzee: Always good to have bullets and drink.
Me: How American of you.
GarrigKitten 🔫🇺🇸🍻🙂
The music fits the game really well, to me this is the most atmospheric and best game in the series.
Stephen King is an interesting case. All of his books are well-written, but not all of them are great and memorable. You (royal "you") should try the Dark Tower series.
NotOrdinaryInGames Can’t after enough
I was very excited to hear you guys reference Red Dwarf :)
I grew up watching that T.V series. I can imagine Yahtzee recreating the scene with Rimmer wearing the gingham dress with Mr Flibble saying "We couldn't do that. Who'd clean up the mess?"
Silent Hill 3 is my favorite, i care about Heather deeply and her story was the most interesting. James' story is strangely "feel good" to me, the town leads him around teaching him a lesson and in one of the endings he gets to go home happily.... i feel like that betrays the whole idea of silent hill.
in the ending i got he drove himself off a cliff.
i've only played 2 i guess it would be cool to check out 3 next.
The canon ending of Silent Hill 2 is where James Kills himself at least that's what the original creator said. I love Silent Hill 2, its one of my favorite ps2 games along with San Andreas, MGS 2 and 3. I also like Silent Hill 3 but i didn't love it. I didn't care for Heather at all, but the game was decently scary.
I didn't think any of the SH2 endings were considered canon.
Teeny Tiny Asakura guessing that doesn't apply to the dog ending
@Carlos Depends who you ask I guess but you can't get Dog or UFO on first playthrough as far as I know. But I've only ever completed Downcoming, Homepour and SH1 so I'm no expert.
1:42 God this music is great. Gives me chills every time.
That bit slaps indeed
The _original_ Survival Horror game was, of course, Alone in the Dark. Released in '92.
It was just like Resident Evil, just not so ludicrously Japanese.
I'd argue that Sweet Home, which came out in '89, was an earlier survival horror game. Resident Evil started out as a remake of it, but they changed it after seeing what Alone in the Dark did.
Nice try fucko but the first true survival horror game was E.T.
Joe Schmoe | I thought that was the first stealth game. At least that's what Killian told me.
Alone in the Dark is a great candidate for the title.
Ludicrously Japanese is a good descriptor we should use it more.
I'd rather define myself by my hobbies than my job title. People do both but one is a trudging activity you do purely for money - the other is pleasurable and done because you enjoy it. I choose the positive one.
Well I quite liked Jazz despite all the people who hated it.
'Why would you do that unless you were playing dark souls and wanted something on in the background' says Yahtzee in the video I put on to have in the background while I play dark souls
Man, even American streets aren't that wide.
THERE ARE FOUR LIGHTS!
god his acting was good
Alexander Dumas was indeed black.
Very common for people to be surprised by that, they even reference it in a Tarantino flick.
Django Unchained yeah.
@@thomasraines1396 Great film, and great to see that I'm not the only one who still goes back and listens to these
@@sofaking1627 I haven’t seen a lot of his films but it’s one of my favorites, it along with the Hateful 8.
@@thomasraines1396 Those are two of the best in my opinion.
Cant go wrong with Pulp Fiction, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and From Dusk Till Dawn.
@@sofaking1627 I haven’t actually watched Pulp Fiction all the way through (I’ve seen clips though). I haven’t seen Once Upon A Time in Hollywood either.
I will say about the Hateful 8 apparently it got criticism for how the main antagonist was treated throughout the movie but I’ve always gone with the logic of it being in the name: all of them are meant to “Hateful”, even Warren (arguably the main character) is a charismatic liar, manipulator and (if his story about what he did to the Confederate General is true) extremely sadistic man.
I GET IT NOW!
You, guys, are real life versions of henchmen #21 and #24 from The Venture Bros.!
I wish these guys would do more :(
A full let's play of Deadly Premonition would be pretty amazing.
Wouldn't it, Zach?
gabe wins the trophy for the using the word "fucking" the most out of anyone on the planet :3
The voice actress who played Mary and Maria was the only good voice work from Silent Hill 2 although they are still fairly inconsistent.
The Letter at the end of the game is masterfully acted though.
Better than the recasts in the HD collection. The new actors in SH2/3 were awful.
I considered responding with disagreement to this sentiment, but then realized that doing so would accomplish nothing but announcing that I disagree with this sentiment.
Jon Squ Well why do you disagree? I'm curious?
***** Difficult to say, really- I just didn't mind it. The "off" quality of the voice acting lends itself well to the tone, but I think it's safe to say this was a happy accident rather than being intentional- at least, not completely intentional. Regardless, Mary/Maria's performances were top notch (don't need to say why, you already know). James' voice just kinda feels real. I'll grant that a few lines could have been delivered better, but it feels a less like he's a character, and more like he's being genuine. Eddie spends most of the game insane (letting his performance go from "alright" to "pretty good", as the actor is pretty good at playing Eddie when Eddie is freaking out), and Angela is always supposed to seem distant and off-putting (as well as older than she really is), and that performance, combined with the one of Claudia for Silent Hill 3, makes me really wish Donna Burke did more voice acting.
I don't think I've put the most convincing argument here, but it's just my two cents, I suppose.
Jon Squ I see what you are talking about, despite how much I want to criticize Jame's performance there is something about it that makes him extremely likable. So obviously he did something right.
weird.. i was trying to rewatch this video and at first i got some dumb unskippable 2 minute ad for league of legends,.. good thing refreshing the page fixed it
I miss lets drown outs..
"Below Blighttown", you say? You mean Ash Lake where that gorgeous sea hydra used to live? Frankly, I think I liked that place more than that cesspool of a shantytown.
Ugh, how did I just _know_ Cliffy B was gonna defend Facebook before I had even heard he commented about it?
If you like Gears of War, that's fine, but Cliffy B is a fucking corporate tool. I've never heard him say anything that wasn't total shill crap. It's hard to even tell if he's serious or just a PR front-man.
I seriously hate that Facebook bought oculus rift. I don't _want_ to give them money for something so unrelated, I was kinda just hoping people would get tired of Facebook and they'd just eventually die out.
But no, now, like so many other megacorporations, we have to deal with them regardless of how shitty what they produce is because they've bought up a bunch of unrelated things people actually _like_.
Except it's not just anyone, it's fucking _Facebook_, the private sector's answer to the NSA.
What's the NSA?
Concerned Geek The National Security Agency? AKA, the American spying agency that's a little too attached to your phone calls?
Did you wake up from a coma recently or something?
:( Yes. I was in an accident 7 years ago and just woke up today. The world has changed way too much for me, I can't believe we're close to getting virtual reality today. And that young people suck so much recently. Especially women. Its like they've gone through some sort of reverse evolution. They spend all day on Facebook and all want to be nurses. I'm just kidding. I'm actually not a sexist asshat that just woke up from a coma, but I didn't really know about the NSA. I'm just a jaded and observant young girl. Are the NSA the people that are trying to censore the internet or...?
Concerned Geek I think that's a different issue. The NSA are the guys monitoring your phone calls, email, text messages, web history, etc., and saving it on their database.
Why in the hell would they want to do that? Why waste all that money to aquire and store information you can't use in a court of law?
The Yahtz of Monte Cristo.... lovely.
Interesting the mention of "Facebook: creepy?" nowadays. I mean, it's always been creepy, but now finally people are paying attention to the actual issues of it. Shame nothing good's going to come of these "trials".
This, combined with the audiobooks of Jam and Mogworld I just purchased yesterday, it´s making my ears pleased...
You guys really need to play Deadly Premonition.
That game, that game is so bad
Orochi san But it's a game not a story book
ryan hadaway But it's so good though.
They never should have made a Twin Peaks video game.
Wait...
UncannyMatt awesome bullseye good shot headshot radical
I smiled when I saw the ad roll at the start, whatever helps keep these coming.
Is Gabe saying that towns in the Outback are basically Innsmouth?
Yesssss Silent Hill 1 is my favorite. So glad they're giving it the credit it deserves
I SO saw the ´´eat it, Tumblr´´ line coming, still made me giggle.
It's so cute when you kick the flying things and they let out that little cry! SO CUTE!
Richard Matheson wrote I Am Legend. Which is an amazing book, and a terrible movie. Steven King said it was why he started writing.
+Hitchslap Not so much terrible as underwhelming, which arguably makes it worse.
+John Smith that's true, if it had been an original story it would have been an average movie. But to destroy a classic is a real crime.
True dat.
Gabe's idea of a survival horror game in the Outback does make sense. The Great Race's city is still buried there after all...
An organism actually viewed that waste?
Billbill80s
It was nicer and more tropical back then. This was millions and millions and millions of years ago though.
A Xzeihoranth I am in a state of confustion, what exactly are you referring to when you say, The Great Race. I found a foreign movie, a motorcycle ride based in the USA, and some loose connection with an annoying turn that shit off reality TV show, which is not called 'The Great Race'.
A Xzeihoranth yes thats right a state of confustion. (confusion + combustion)
@Billbill80s he's talking about the Cthulhu myths Great Race of Yith, from the HP Lovecraft story 'The Shadow Out Of Time'.
Yes! Finally someone else acknowledges that Will Smith said "Earth" and not "Earf" or whatever other shit people claim he said. How does this kind of misquoting keep happening? Beam me up Scotty, Play it again Sam, Elementary, my dear Watson....so much stuff keeps getting quoted that wasn't said, it's a pet peeve of mine.
Personally, I think the "Earf" thing came from conflating the scene where he punches the alien with the scene _immediately_ after where he smokes the cigar.
The word "Earf" is how'd you mispronounce earth if you had a cigar in your mouth. And in the next shot after saying "welcome to earth," Smith puts the cigar in his mouth and says "now that's what I call a close encounter." Except it sounds like "nah thas wha eye cull uh close encountah."
If you were making the image macro with that part of the scene, it would be easy to forget he didn't have he cigar in his mouth yet. And unless you had just recently watched the movie, that's a pretty small detail to forget.
I think the same is true of "Luke, I am your father" and other misquotes like that. Usually, people just misremember it, and it gets repeated somewhere popular, and then everyone forgets what the original line was.
I think it's funny that he then went on to misquote Clint Eastwood, though.
It’s because human memory is extremely fallible, and remembers things incorrectly all the time. Luckily thanks to modern science and technology it’s much easier to go back and double check things, but unfortunately many people still seem to think that their senses are a lot more reliable than they actually are.
9:57 Silent Hill has apparently taken over Uvalade.
58:02
Pompeii was one of those movies you gents are talking about. It was a decent movie about two gladiators who become friends, and try to escape the fiery hell that is a volcanic eruption. They haphazardly added in some "Romeo and Juliet" romance plot which fucked up the whole movie. I was actually angry that they added romance in this movie, since the friendship between the main character and gladiator was more developed than the main character and his lady friend. They basically ruined a half-decent movie, and turned it into some half-baked, shitty Romeo and Juliet story.
I liked that about Dishonored. How I could neatly choke everyone and put them in a nifty little pile under a bridge or somewhere where no one would ever check. Then, when I have the streets all to myself, I'd hop and blink all around happily, and using my Dark vision to pick everything up with such bliss. But then... the tallboys...
Richard Matheson, writter of I am Legend, and some other books I´m too lazy to read, but that is a fucking awesome book even after will smith decided to take a shit on it (at least Charlton Heston´s movie had a different name) that i´m pretty sure Yathzee will love, so put some thumbs up on this shit in the futile hope Gabe check it out and spread the voice.
Please... Thanks
***** I´m still waiting for a movie that goes all way at the real ending of the story and the superbly deep meaning of the title.
And the one with Will Smith looked like it will make the jump with all the non explicit vampire romance and smith´s character isolation traumas, but noup, let´s put zombie rampage climax, cuz people loooove them.
Yes, I guess I don´t hate it either, it´s a product of his time, I mean, at least is not After Earth
*****
Have you seen the original ending to Will Smith's I Am Legend? Look into it if you haven't. It was a lot truer to the spirit of the book, but it didn't go over well with test audiences. Test audiences are silly like that.
GG Crono Yep, the one when he realize everything, it is good, but yet too optimistic, I was waiting for the ominous I AM LEGEND moment that never came, I guess holywood is not ready for it yet
Willy Lcoyote Before even The Omega Man, there was an adaptation titled The Last Man On Earth. Haven't read the original novel so I can't speak to adaptation-fidelity (Matheson co-wrote the script but was dissatisfied with the final film and was credited under a pseudonym) but I thought Vincent Price made a pretty good vampire hunter, and they did stick with the which-one-is-the-monster revelation.
Deep fried, cheese inside. He rivals fucking Shakespeare when he talks.
These guys don't understand what selling out means. It means going against your morals for money. Getting a book published is not selling out.
To be fair, there’s an awful lot these guys don’t understand.
Guy Boo Especially Gabe, he’s thick as shit
Richard Spriggs Hahaha! This made me laugh way too hard.
Be a blacksmith in fable 2 for an hour, that should be so much fun.
one quick refresh later, yay.
love you yahtzee and gabe, these are great!
yahtzee croshaw's back of the hand babysitting van package...
that's a band name waiting to happen
This strangely makes me miss shadowman, and soul reaver game series. they should remake those
You have good taste. This, the two games you mentioned and Oddworld are actually my 3 favourites for the console.
the study dammit guy with the gun is stephen king
My Silent Hill list in order of how much I liked them:
3, 2, 4, 1. Because Heather > James > Harry
Yeah, she's awesome. Not from "omg waifu" standpoint, but from a legitimate interesting and believable character standpoint. Really a good female character in gaming.
I didn't like Heather that much. Compared to Harry and James, she had a bit more sarcasm and wit. Sometimes when you examined stuff she would have something smarmy to say like "Oh, it's just a dead dog, no big deal." This shouldn't be a big detriment to the game, but even that tiny bit of humor serves to make the atmosphere a bit more comfortable. And I don't want Silent Hill to be comfortable.

The developers outright make fun of Silent Hill 2 with the toilet scene in 3. >:3
And all 3 of them are better then Henry was
You're seriously putting THREE ahead of two?! Two was a masterpiece. There's yet to be a horror game within even the same galaxy as Silent Hill 2.
