That's the hospital done. Now just got to get through the three darkest areas in the game. With a filter that makes everything even darker. Ha. Hahaha. Might need to turn my gamma up a bit. #SilentHill #Halloween

Okay, a festival to celebrate the animals, complete with costumes. Sure, makes sense. But....why do the villagers only give us pig costumes? A fetish, or an insult? You make the call!

Still chugging along in #SilentHill2. I *could* just sprint through the game chainsawing till I get all the photos, but I'm trying to enjoy some spooks for #Halloween and all, and the B&W helps. I *do* have to turn it off occasionally to solve puzzles, though. Like the damn medical wristband one.

This term I’m teaching in Strasbourg and staying at a Chateau in which Nazis housed officers during the occupation. When the AfD won in Saxony-Anhalt I thought “that’s bad, but they’re not going to invade Strasbourg any time soon.” Now this.

I just met a girl named Mariaaaa....🎵 Unfortunately I don't think the black and white does the replacement wife any favors. There's a reason she's the most colorful character in the game, and without it she doesn't have the same power. The environment still looks pretty, though. #SilentHill

Their endurance does lend more credence to my theory that the comic book industry is locked in a permanent war between Silver and Dark Age fans. There's the 60s, there's the 90s, and nothing else.😣

I think a lot of people are fatigued with the concept, with is a feeling I sympathize with but can't *exactly* share, if only because I never liked Venom or the symbiotes to begin with.🙃

M: Marvel Rivals This is a fun prompt! And now I can finally answer. Since you specified "recent" I went for something from this console generation, and since kid me was still a Marvel fan, I picked one of their games. I went with Rivals. Kid me liked team shooters too. And it's free. Kids like free

I've found that it's much better to struggle with the learning curve in a roguelike than to overshoot it. There have been a number of promising games that lost me because they just cracked open like an egg past a certain point, so if this one's still pacing you, I'd take that as a good sign.

I know trophies sometimes are there to encourage different playstyles, but there's something funny to me how Silent Hill 2 Remake's trophies are about deliberate, completionist play... expert for the two that encourage you to sprint around skipping cutscenes and murdering everything with a chainsaw.

Poor Angela. Her big scene is supposed to be the firey one at the end of the game, but this one in the apartments, with the knife and the mirror, is how I'll always remember her. Though it looks a bit like a Bergman film with the black and white.😅 #SilentHill #Halloween

One thing I genuinely appreciate about Dragon Quest games is how often the protagonist's parents and/or family are just...good, reasonable people?

Finished up the second season of Primal over dinner. I loved the first season, but this one did not deliver. The first half was good, but once the....bizarre and misguided Darwin episode hits, the quality nosedives and never recovers. Certainly not with the terrible ending. I'm a bit sad, honestly.

Pyramid Head looks like a 2001 Monolith in B&W. Can't even really make out his body well, just a bigass shape. Genuinely really like taking pictures in this mode, even if I'm stumbling around like Mr.Magoo half the time.

On one hand, the black and white mode for the SH2 Remake makes an already great looking game even more fantastic visually. On the other hand, it's so goddamn dark. Even with the flashlight, you can't see more than two feet in front of you. Is this what Doom 3 was like?

Hellraiser's one of those films where I love the concept, especially the "solve a puzzle, summon a demon" bit, but the execution doesn't do it for me. I think if it were more subtle and mysterious and not "DEMON SEX WITH SHARP OBJECTS" I'd be more on board.

It's genuinely a good thing to have simple quests that make an immediate, if usually minor, benefit in a character's life. I know it always builds a level of trust in a game for me, that it's not going to do the Diablo thing of having every quest end badly (often for no real reason).

Alright, first on the agenda for spooky season for me is to get the platinum for the Silent Hill 2 Remake. Missed it by one lousy photo last time!✊️ Decided to put on the black, white and red visual filter this time. Always loved that color scheme, reminds me of Schindler's List. #Halloween

You've bought the best Arkham game for a pittance. It's basically a big, self-contained episode of the Animated Series, which is why I love it, but it's also a very fine action-adventure game with a great atmosphere.

That's a great Avengers cover. I.....can't decide if I likd the Daredevil one or not. It's cool and dynamic, but something about Stilt Man's stance there feels....non-Comics Code, so to speak.

On one hand, Logan calling someone's drama "a soap opera" (and about Jean of all people) is hilarious in hindsight, but on the other hand, she *does* basically imply that being an X-Man is childish, which *is* obviously insulting to the new team.

Game #46: name a relatively recent game that child you would love. What game from today's time would you take back so 👶🫵 could enjoy? 😊 BUT answer aphabetically in A-Z order! (so 👀 at the furthest comment & answer w/ a game that begins w/ the next letter A-Z). 🎮 #gamingsky #gqotd #AZaskDatvi

Morning folks. With Halloween season fast approaching, I've been putting together a playlist of the spookiest music I can find, and it's got me curious what everyone's favorite #horror soundtracks are. Do me a favor and post it in the replies or quotes, or any other music you find horror related.

Mostly though, it's "spooky" rather than plain horror this year, at least on the game front. Townfall'd ne a perfect pick, but I'm not sure I can get it in time.
