Haha how did I know you'd think I meant that?
Also, not all SH mannequins... Heather's mannequins scarred me for life. D:
But yessss, I love SH2 mannequins, they're a pretty cool guy, they always do the dance of their people at me and it makes me smile and then a creeper kills me.

/cuddles bachuru/
They're cute and would kick assssss.
Dun lie. They're awesome.
/hug/

Hammy - Yeah, what is up with the flying-out-of-nowhere thing? :lol: It's really subtle and sometimes doesn't happen, but the first time I played I was like "fuck your storyline, I'm exploring" and so I started to head in the direction of the museum (with Maria) and then there was a mannequin and I was like "hmm, don't remember that being there," and then ONE FLEW OUT OF THE FOREST and scared the shit out of me/made me wtf/made me laugh uncontrollably. :lol:

I guess it... represents... Jame's inner... desire... to own a trebuchet.

I remember when a mannequin flew out at me for the first time. It made me jump and I laughed a bit at it as well. It only happened to me once, though. I'm so happy I finally made it past the first Pyramid Head encounter on hard mode. It actually wasn't that hard, but I had been going about it all wrong the many times before. :lol:

The mannequin part in SH3 was pretty unnerving for me the first few times I played it. I remember hearing a loud screech and then seeing the head chopped off with blood everywhere and feeling scared as hell as if something was going to kill me at that moment. Good ol Silent Hill and its scare tactics.

Yeah, I freaked out the first time a mannequin jumped at me. I couldn't fight it either because I was (and am) awful with melee weapons so I ended up running out of the room just to have a bunch of patients run at me because I now had a flashlight. And I was playing on easy. I used to really suck at SH. xD (..."used to") And I'm really nervous for my first boss fight in SH2 on hard. D:

I like that part because it's so unnerving. Pretty sure I had a few nightmares involving that mannequin afterwards. :3 Ohh, but now you've spoilered it for poor Cherry!

Cherry hasn't gotten that far on SH3 yet? :shock:

Last she told me, she's only played SH2 and watched the walkthrough for SH1... *feels like I'm putting words in her mouth*

*le gasp* :o
Wow she is missing out...

Oh yeah. Her life must be so dull without having played SH3 what a square Cherry Flavored Antacid:'s life must SUCK. ;D

I've watched the walkthrough for SH3, too. And PART of Shattered Memories, but only a part. When I watched, it was so brand new that no one had posted a complete walkthrough of it yet.

Which actually brings me to something I've been meaning to ask you, Anna. I'm kind of dying to play SH, but something I haven't played before. Should I get SM or 3? SM looks way super fun, but I think the lack of any weapon might send me into a nervous breakdown. :lol: I can't relax until I've killed every monster in radio distance, and... well now you can't kill anything. :c

But then again SH3 looks scarier (with the monsters, I mean) and also the plot was... kind of incoherent and less awesome than 2.

1's kind of out of the question for me right now because I can't handle rape apes and the flying things (or the god-awful voice acting). >>

Oh cool! :D We haven't talked about SH in a while, I guess...

I would get SH3 over SM hands-down. SM has a good storyline and riddles and all, and it is less scary (hardly scary at all, tbh) which might be a plus for you, but the chase sequences will make you want to die and never do anything ever again, much less play video games. Besides the first chase sequence, they're all really difficult and I still haven't beaten the game more than twice because the chase sequences frustrate me so much. And you can't set combat difficulty, so you're basically screwed if you're not amazing at every chase sequence. Don't get me wrong, it's still a great game and a major mindfuck, but I definitely prefer SH3 even if it is all Heather all the time and doesn't get interesting until like halfway through the game. >_>

Oh and my copy of SH2 started working again! I'm gonna play the SHIT out of that this break. <3

I agree with Anna. SH3 isn't the most interesting of the series, but I have a special place in my heart for it. I, myself, have never finished a round of SM. Every time I would try, I would either get too frustrated in the chase sequences and give up the controls to Hammeh or I would get a headache from motion sickness. I could never keep the flashlight steady. xD

All this talk about Silent Hill makes me want to play it like crazy too. Maybe later I'll work more on my SH2 hard mode.

Ooh, the chase sequences are hard? :gonk: Damn, that means they'd be impossible for me... And I don't have a Hammy handy to pass the controller to.
SH3 it is, then! It's probably cheaper anyway. :lol:

Of the three I'm familiar with, SH2 is my favorite. Loooove it. :heart: And right around the time I started playing it we had like, an entire month of foggy days, so that was awesome/freaky as hell. It was then that I decided that someday I wanted to get a bunch of people together to dress up like SH monsters (and one pyramid head) on a foggy day and just stumble around with radios tuned to static in our pockets. xD Would have to be somewhere where the cops wouldn't be called or something, though. >>

I love foggy days because of the Silent Hill games. Back when I was able to drive in a functioning car to call my own, I would joke with Hammy that it would be the perfect day for our reality to change into the "otherworld". I finally got a bike now, but it's a one-person ride and it doesn't fit in too well with the daydream. :cry:

Yeah, you don't want to be on a bike in SH. :gonk:

Yeah, much safer to be a lamppost...

Haha Dems... those were the good ol' days... we'd start thinking of all the improvised weapons we could make out of the random shit in your car. :lol:

I definitely would not want to be the lamp post that Harry crashes into. :no:

Indeed those were the good ol days. It's a good thing I still have my steel pipe in my closet. :P

:o ... That's so cruel! Now you'll have to start over your second game and make it to the fairy...AGAIN!

I didn't steal it! You dropped your gold pipe in the sewer and when the fairy asked if it was yours and you said yes, she thought you were lying so she gave it to me because I'm pretty.

...and then I sold it to pay for my Hostess Snowball addiction. :ninja:

NOW I DON'T KNOW WHO'S TELLING THE TRUTH! :cry:
Time to take my dirty ol steel pipe and find the nearest sewer well with a dangerous tentacle.

*points at my crotch* ...wait, no, that's just gross.
