Henry really does shop at Express!

Post by **evilinthishouse** » 19 Jun 2006

I know this might be fairly obvious on this board, but has anyone noticed what the box says in Henry's bedroom closet floor? Yes, none other than "Express" in very similar font to the retailer's. Just thought this was a bit of fun to point out...

Here's the texture for the box, from the SH4 PC texture files. Hard to make out much but "Express" on the box, but there's more there than we can see in the game.

Box

But, the box in the PS2 version is different than this one, and it's on the floor in his bedroom, not on a shelf.

Yes, St. Thomas, I have read your timeline.

It's just fun to try to point out some actual evidence in the game, which would put an end to all "Does that shirt really come from Express?" question.

As is the box in the PC version. I don't recall any differences in Room 302 between the two versions, actually (or, at least, in where the boxes are!).

I work mostly with fact, though.

But what is fact in a crazy, mixed-up world like Silent Hill?...

Probably the same as it is in the normal world...

Disregard this post, please.

Ok, I'm getting a better view of it now...
So, it was the same box!
(Sorry, the angle was funny on the first pic).
Still would have been cool if we could really prove something as comical as Henry shopping at Express.

i think that shirt is the manifestation of Henry's overall bad taste. i.e: his appartment sucks

Yeah, but Express Fashion is awesome--it's where I buy my pants & dress shirts.

wow they have some nice stuff, those graphic tees are pretty cool, Henry should wear those.

Post by **xeyes** » 20 Jun 2006

You know, it's entirely possible that... (Theory alert!)

Henry graduates from PRU (or from high school...can't remember if we find out if he went to college or not) and realizes that his old collection of concert T-shirts and ratty jeans just ain't gonna cut it in the "real world". He places a bulk order from Express for a dozen identical button-down shirts and six pairs of jeans...and wears them till they fall apart. Hence, the box...and its dilapidated state, years later.

(Sad, huh? A theory about a completely irrelevant box?

)

Express doesn't do packaging with cardboard boxes

Post by **evilinthishouse** » 20 Jun 2006

Well, I'm sure they could use a box if it was an online bulk or factory direct order?

LoL Damn! Another person who noticed this! That's great XD Yep, he's got an Express box in his closet and another in his laundry room.

*imagines Henry wearing an Affliction-type shirt and spiffy jeans*

I...*Still laughing* I searched Express to see if it really is a real shop and...The first male I see on the sight is wearing a button up with pockets on it and tight jeans like Henry's XD I just had to say that...

LoL Oh no! You mean this dude?! Henry's waaayy hotter than he is; bloody pants, whiskers and all XD

You know, I wonder if the reason he has so many Express boxes is because he worked there at one time? Probably just as a store manager or an employee. Got to take home some boxes every now and then. *shrugs*

Don't store managers at apparel shops get free stuff every now and then too?

Although manager or not, they still usually have a bunch of boxes left over, so Henry probably picked some up like, "Yeah, I'm moving to South Ashfield soon. Mind if I take these boxes?" Otherwise, you have good boxes getting thrown in the trash.

...why the hell am I putting this much thought into this?
