This is a weekend of horror!! No coochie is safe!!!

TK and I went to see Silent Hill Friday night, and came out feeling pretty good about it. They did an amazing job recreating the town, down to the street names, the buildings, the atomosphere, etc. The effects of the town going between phases was really neat. Pyramid Head was hawt. There weren't any parts that really scared me in a jump out of my seat way, but all the monsters were damn creepy, especially the dead babies :I

I never played SH1 (or rather, I rented it when it came out, played 10 minutes, then shut it off and never played it again XD) so I can't speak to the accuracy of the plot. I thought it was pretty good, though. I didn't really like how they laid it out for you all at the end...or that Sean Bean's character was largely pointless...and the dialogue between Rose and Christabella at the end was pretty cheesy XDDD. But overall I enjoyed it, even if Pyramid Head didn't get to rape anything.

Poor Pyramid Head :(

BUT HOLY SHIT LADY GOT RAPED BY BARBED WIRE THAT'S PRETTY MUCH 10X WORSE ANYWAY :O

I'm not planning on buying the DVD when it's out or anything, but I'm glad I saw it. And I have to admit I didn't sleep so well last night XD. Though half the credit there goes to Resident Evil >O

I have a weakness for Zombies, I guess. Everyone told me RE4 isn't scary, but I've still jumped a few times when a Ganados pops up next to you. And fuck the chainsaw guys, they freak me the hell out. Nothing gets your palms sweaty like Instant Kill running at you.

(I know there are a few other common monsters that can instant kill you, but the chainsaw's the only one that's gotten me so far).

About an hour ago I gave up on Salazar, after he ate me 5 times in a row. I BLAME THE CONTROLS. I've never really like the "turn and move" style of controls, but until this boss they've been just kind of a nusiance. But when INSTANT DEATH is headed your way and you have to turn before you go it suddenly becomes a pain in the ass.

DAMNIT SALAZAR WHY MUST YOU HAVE TENTACLES AND MAKE MY BRAIN ROT WITH BAD BAD THOUGHTS!?

As insanely fun as the game has been so far it still baffles me how much it is and isn't an action game. Like someone pointed out in a gfaqs review (don't ask me why I still go to gfaqs) it's a little strange that Leon can leap out of a two story window and be fine, but he can't strafe when shooting, or even take a step back while reloading. I know it's half RE's style trying to be hip or something but it's frustrating at times. And after playing Samurai Warriors and Kessen for the past several weeks I still slam on L1 as if it's the "Block" command. Silly Leon, even if you could block it wouldn't save you from a hatchet!

So far half my deaths I attribute to accidentally shooting Ashley in the ass in the "cover her from afar" sections of the game. It's not my fault the girl's got big booty! But as nervewracking as those parts were, and as helpless as Ashley is, I'm surprised to say that I don't hate her. In fact, I rather like Ashley. I enjoyed playing as her. And when I managed to get her back to Leon and they hugged I even Awwed.

By the way have I mentioned lately how damn fine Leon is? No? Well, he's damn fine. <3

I'm not sure exactly how far I am in the game, but I'll probably post again when I finally finish~

In other news, I didn't get an egg poacher for my birthday. So I went out and bought one myself! I'm gonna make eggs tomorrow :D
