James a Drunk? (Unmarked Spoiler)
Moderator: Moderators
I can't remember where it implies but I think it's in Lost Memories, maybe on some other japanese book about the game, but Aura is right about the clubs. It was in one of those clubs that James saw the "Lady Maria". The one that we can "find" in that flyer in SH3. He became kinda "attached" to her and that girl went inside his suconscious, later when he created Maria if you see, her face is the same as this real Lady Maria that he eventually saw performing on one of the clubs that he went.

Thats what I always thought.MMY wrote:James visiting Heaven's Night isn't implied in the game or Lost Memories: Silent Hill Chronicle. It's theorized he went, though.
Also regarding Lady Maria, I heard somewhere that he saw her AT silent night but I doubt that theory holds much water.

Everywhere else James visits seems to have some significance to him, and Maria was born in a strip club. Unless Mary went to them...James visiting Heaven's Night isn't implied in the game or Lost Memories: Silent Hill Chronicle. It's theorized he went, though.

Apparently I can't spell 'alcoholism' :(
It might just be a metaphor for sexual frustration. Not an indication of his actions.AuraTwilight wrote:Everywhere else James visits seems to have some significance to him, and Maria was born in a strip club.

Whereas alchoholism is sort of implied as you see bottles of booze pretty much everywhere. However, I don't think James was a drunk, or they would have appeared in the Abyss too.

I think james is already cocked when you start the game. I'm playing through for the second time now and I guess the second time around you can pick up the chainsaw very early in the game. So I equiped it and after just putting down the controller for about a min james lifts the chainsaw into the sky and starts screaming. Signs of a raging alchaholic

I'm no expert but from what I've seen on TV, alcoholics get so plastered they can barely walk in a straight line. On the videotape, James looks fairly sober when he's walking towards Mary.
I think he started drinking when Mary's health became worse. No wonder when he has to care for her 24/7 and she ends up bitter and spiteful towards him. He sobered up making sure he was in the right state of mind, then ran off to down some more booze to kill the pain before the events of the game took place.

On the contrary, if you see someone stumbling like that, chances are that they are not an alcoholic. Alcoholics tend to have vast capacities thanks to their hard work and practice. They're the kind who can kill a whole case of beer and still appear, to the casual observer, more or less sober. Furthermore, being an alcoholic doesn't necessarily mean you drink yourself stupid constantly, rather that you drink far more frequently than you should and that it is probably affecting your life to some degree. It's more a case of addiction to the drink itself than it is the frequency of full-on drunkenness.Web_Zombie wrote:I'm no expert but from what I've seen on TV, alcoholics get so plastered they can barely walk in a straight line.

This is true. My Aunty Angel (ironic name, innit?) can down a six-pack like it's water, then go to work and do an eight hour shift with no issue.

Re: James a Drunk? (Unmarked Spoiler)
Has any one ever bothered to wonder what's in those health drinks?
