Riley, Boozy, you are both in my racing thoughts and pounding heart. Will, you would probably cry but enjoy yourself while playing this game (if you even read this?). I’m tempted to stop until you are all home from school so that we can chill on the couch in the dark and have massive heart failure together. I’ve only played for about ten minutes so far and I already have a stress headache.
For those of you that don’t know what I’m talking about, it’s a video game series called Silent Hill. Now, I get scared pretty easily, but not usually in video games. Resident Evil, Fatal Frame, and Parasite Eve were good games, and I jumped a few times, but usually I can still detach myself. But not with the Silent Hill games. I’m seriously SO into what’s happening I find myself with stress headaches. It’s not as fun to play alone though, so I’m usually huddled in the dark on the couch and freaking out with people, like I was tonight.
Anyway, thank you Tom for getting me into these.
Anna, you should give them a shot because it’s totally your cup of tea.
Diane, you and Todd must continue the tradition. Do it.
Jei, thank you for bringing it home and putting up with your whimpy, scared girlfriend.



Silent Hill 2 is still my favorite survival horror game. I remember you could use the lead pipe to kill everything in the game once you got it, save for a few bosses. I mean, you could still kill the bosses with the pipe if you wanted to, but it certainly made it easier using, say…the hunting rifle.
