The ride I'm referring to is called the Giant Drop. They strap you up into a chair, you rise something like thirty stories into the air, hang there for a while, and then plummet. Apparently it's so high up your ears pop from the air pressure. A few of my friends did it; I stayed happily on the ground and ate gummy worms. Best day ever! (Also, the reason I took so long about continuing our conversation of d00m is because I was getting tarted up for our Formal dance, and then going to the Formal dance, and then sleeping a lot. Everything smells like lipgloss.) YOU'RE NOT CRAZY. UNLESS YOU CLASS SIMPSONS QUOTERS AS CRAZY, BUT IF YOU DO, WE'RE ALL BEYOND AID AND WE'D HAVE TO BUILD MORE ASYLUMS. *thumbs up*
We can be obsessive and make others edge away from us together! With the paperwork thing. Although lots of the best games have entertaining paperwork - just look at Monkey Island (so many dreadful puns!). It's just the one guard, actually, the others are too busy making fun of you for getting caught. Not very popular, is our Garrett. Not good with the people skills. Silent Hill - I played the third one. It is a bit gorier than SH2, and less about the darkness that lurks within each and all of us and more about, er, crazy hell cult. Although it did have a completely hilarious reference to SH2. I was mmming a little bit about the decision to include a machine gun, though, because - well, this is Silent Hill. You're meant to feel helpless. Oooh! But there's one bit that creeped me out beyond all reason - the infamous mirror bit. It can be summed up, "OH MY GOD, WHAT IS HAPPENING TO MY REFLECTION!?" I really do prefer the plot of SH2. More emotionally affecting, I found. It's so human.
Pointless musical stings! I recall those in SH2. Man, every time the music decided to speed up, there went my heart rate. Jamesy must have nerves of steel. (By which I mean, a really strong desire to see Mary again, oh James.)
TOM CLANCY IS NOT A CHARACTER HE IS AN AUTHOR WHO LIKES CONSPIRACY THEORIES. That is why all his books and games have spies in them. Also I think he likes guns a lot. And planes.
...Resturant? Er. He's actually a Spanish conman, in the movie Road to El Dorado. It is my happy movie, though it's Dreamworks, not Disney. And, um, the gargoyle – Quasimodo and Esmeralda are dangling off the side of the cathedral, Frollo's trying to kill them both (while below them a battle rages between Frollo's guards and the gypsies and townspeople, in which a huge cauldron of molten lead had been dumped over the streets). He's drawn his knife and looms over them with smoke and sparks behind him, and says, "And he shall smite the wicked and plunge them into the fiery pit!" (I remember it word for word, for some reason. It's playing in my head now) but he loses his balance, catches hold of a gargoyle…I can't remember if Quasi tries to reach down for him or not, but either way, Frollo sees it snarl at him, he screams, it breaks, and he falls to his death in the lead. The fiery, lava-like lead. Also, just before he falls, he was coloured in such a way as to make his skin red and his eyes yellow. (Fie, I say! Disney movies used to rock, before they started going crazy with those awful sequels.)
We don't have the DVD's, either, so I watched them on youtube and pretty much loved every second. The thing is, it devours bandwidth with voraciousness unanticipated and we have a limit.
Some of them are, most of them aren't, all of them are awesome, although the guy who made the tribute seems to have a fondness for coughing guards. It boggles me how different they all sound, though some of them are pretty recognizable as the same guy doing them. Garrett seems to have changed a bit between games, too; his voice is a bit deeper in Deadly Shadows.
…YOU ARE HORRIBLE FOR PUTTING THE THOUGHT OF SILENT HILL SPAM IN MY HEAD.
