Yeah, I read that is a bit tough to get your foot in the door unless you already have a casual game under your belt and some kind of experience. It is cool to have someone on here who knows about the industry though from the inside. You might get some PMs from me in the future with questions. Sure,...

SuriKatta, you're in the game industry? Or did I misinterpret that? I am currently in school working on getting a degree in Game Design! Yes. Getting into the industry nowadays is a bit of a challenge. You mostly have to start from the ground-up (creating/designing your own games (usually casual) a...

Yup. That was me. Actually, as someone who's been working in and out of the industry (mostly distribution (3 yrs) and indipendant design (6 yrs)), I think all of his reviews are spot-on in the direction of the quality and production of games nowadays. It's an entirely different sort of system from a...

Heh! A friend just linked me this today:

The Escapist: Zero Punctuation: Silent Hill Origins

I think he explained how I feel about the game more accurately and in less time than I ever could.

If you have something smart to say, or a good theory to give out, I'd love to hear it: but now I don't really care either way about it, because I don't want to have to sift through snarkiness in order to find it. There wasn't any snarkiness in my original post. I was only snarky after I was rebuttl...

You know what's cool? Not being a cheeky, smarmy person if people question what the heck you're on about... Know what else is cool? Actually inquiring about what exactly it is I'm on about (like using a question mark with a statement to ask instead of compare) instead of placing forward a statement...

Well, I suppose the fact that a little bit more research has to be done before you can surmise a connection was sort of lost, there. Ahem. Still love how you guys jump to conclusions and stuff without mulling it over... Anyway. You have to remember that Silent Hill was a sacred place to the ancient ...

More like all of them. While James and co. get some leeway due to emotional burden, they wouldn't be in the Otherworld if they weren't psychologically abnormal (Which doesn't always equate to "LOL INSAAANE!") When did I mention anything about viewing the Otherworld? And when did I say 'ps...

It looks to me like a rough, distorted version of the ritualistic ' Sun Dance ', as traditionally preformed by the plains Indians. I'll quote from the page: "The ritual normally lasted for eight days and involved fasting, dancing, and self-torture. The dancers attempted to pull free from skewer...

...did you seriously just try and cite examples of abnormal psychology as groundwork to justify highly unlikely physical events? Try? I thought I did. ;) Actually, only 2/3 of those examples were abnormal psychology. The third was an outside effect, albeit, I wouldn't call members of a cult psychol...

Only to a certain extent. Oh, of course. That's why I used the words 'can be'. My example might've been a little extreme, especially within the realm of SH2, but I was just getting the point across that 'stranger things have happened' when taking Silent Hill into consideration. Of course, the conco...

I'm just saying, that these games, while 'logical' in some retrospects, can be absolutely out-of-the norm and 'illogical'. You never can tell exactly what Konami was thinking, short of asking them. Sorry. I guess I didn't make that clear. Personally, I think James and Mary had sex before she became ...

... Albeit, stranger things have happened when it comes to Silent Hill.

Attempting to birth a god from a little girl with psychic powers? Yeah. Totally average. Heh-heh.

Unlikely. But not impossible.

I've met at least one couple that doesn't, pertaining to sexual reasons that are personal to them, of which I won't discuss here.

They're not neccesarily where they're not supposed to be. During the creation of a game, in with image files and code files and everything else, a lot of 'extra' crap tends to build up. Concept images, test images, odd animation files, unfinished/unused rooms, etc... can all be scattered and lost wi...

James killed Mary for a very different reason than Eddie kills random people. James mourns for eddie when he dies and feels sorry for him. I couldnt see james killing random just because of the way they looks at him. I didn't say James WAS Eddie directly. I said that Eddie could be a representitive...

Okay. Now that I've gone through the forum to see if this has been touched on at all in some way, I can post. It seems as though it has, in a fashion... so it means I don't have to post as much (or make a new thread) as I initially was going to post! Anyhoo. My theory here is strictly in response to...

Unless the theorizing is totally off the goddamn mark, sure, we'll enjoy it. But since there's nothing you can even use in the game(s) or Konami-released information to even help back up your statement, your remark is totally uncalled for because your theory falls flat on its face. I reccomend you ...

Dont you think if that were true there would be something or even anything that would have indicated mary being raped. I just dont see it. Or maybe even if james had had sex with lady maria. He would have I dont know had sex with maria during the events of SH2 As for the Mary being raped thing, I'm...

Idea: Could it possibly be that Mary, at a young age, had been raped ? This could explain several things, really, if the disease she had was really something sexually-transmitted, like syphilis. It could account for her being so reserved and non-sexual... as well as James' frustrations with her sexu...
