Im playing through SH2 for my 2nd time and i just enterd heavens night i was walking then i see a shelf when you have maria unlock the door and go through the door in there theres a shelf and if you press the action but James will ramble on for a while about how he drank all the time after mary died. Has annyone else seen this cause i thought it was funny how he rambled on of how he was a drunk. Btw its not a custence its a thing you read that goes on for a while im guessig hes saying it to maria.

Yeah, he liked to hit the bottle hard...

Yeah poor James, I do the same when Im depressed
I only saw that bit after someone told me, i would never of noticed myself.

I wonder if he was drunk when he killed his wife

[spoiler]First thing,James killed Mary so he couldn't watch her suffer,or was it she took his life away.
Second,I should try that,James ramble?[/spoiler]

Wow! I bet he could well of been drunk, he would have to of been in a warped state of mind to do such a thing.

You know...you don't have to be a drunk to

[spoiler]kill your wife[/spoiler]

I would advise you guys to USE the spoiler tags...not everyone has played the games..

[spoiler]No he didn't... He killed her becasue he thought of her as a burden...[/spoiler]

He still could have been drunk as well. I don't really see how, if he really loved her, he could even consider of being a burden in the loosest of terms.

He says both. He though of her as a burden and couldn't watch her suffer.

That would explain why James doesn't remember the incident, he might've been drunk.

[spoiler]He didn't necessarily have to be drunk to do that. If he was, he probably would have stumbled and fallen forward when he went to kiss her. Although there are pensive, philosophical drunks.[/spoiler]

>If he was, he probably would have stumbled and fallen forward when he went to kiss her.
Not everyone that drinks is a) a raving alcoholic, and b) stumbles around aimlessly.

I think it's entirely possible that he'd been drinking before he killed her.

Maybe he was drank a lot after he killed her and he was drunk during the events of silent hill. Or he was drunk in the "in water" ending

it would seem strange to see poor James as an intoxicated drunk wondering the streets at night. Well that's not the only thing he keeps covered up now is it?

We all know
Maria is the drunk one. (She dose have a hang over after all.)

He might not have been drunk when he killed her but it would explain quite a bit cause he couldnt remember what he did but some people are able to block out horrible things theyv done or thats happend but its a pretty good chance he was drunk

When James [spoiler] killed his wife[/spoiler] he didn't need to be drunk at the moment to not remember. he could just gotten hammered afterwards to not remember. Then the habit could have stuck.

I like this little snippet they give. Whether it means anything storyline wise (as in, what he did or didn't do while he was or wasn't drunk), it still gives an interesting insight into his character.

I'll have to check it out next run, I've never noticed that.

This is my first time to notice it to and it just made me think.... and made me wanna choke james to shutem up lol
