here's my socials~! i will be moving away from using this site as my central socmed because it is now trash and full of trash people, but i'm not leaving, i will be here until the ship sinks
but!! if you wanna keep up with me elsewhere, here's where to go:
i think this is my one disappoint so far. not that i dislike the new outfit, but the old one is so iconic. i do like that the tattoo is still there. i wonder why the change? was the outfit too dated? was it too obviously different compared to the other characters? hmmm
ah man, i saw this post on a silent hill facebook group, and immediately felt such nostalgia and overwhelming emotion. who can believe it? so many years have passed and here we are once again
original post here:
Today is
#SilentHill
's 25th bday. I can't overstate how much this series means to me, how much it has changed my life. I had to make a video for today, though my illness means it's not as finished as I wanted.
Here is an updated "Making of Silent Hill". [link in 2nd tweet]
angela orosco would despise every one of these weirdo dudes obsessing over how she looks and how she isnt pretty enough, way to miss the point entirely weirdos
This entire part is Silent Hill 4 Love! remember, the portion where you have to explore the apartments and find pieces of walter, hear a line of dialogue, and remove a lock on the super's door, while immortal monster walter chases you around? ;D
people saying that silent hill f is a fatal frame ripoff just reflects how little you really know or understand about japanese media
it sounds a lot like saying that game of thrones is a lord of the rings ripoff, like they both have swords and dragons, gotta be the same
Be happy for Masahiro Ito, he's been making art for canceled games for nearly a decade, and now he's back in the mainstream limelight, whatever else, can't all we silent hill fans agree on that? <3
i feel like this narrative that yuri and yaoi are aimed at straight men/women comes from this idea that anything sexual or fetishy is bad, and therefore good queers aint into it, because good queers aren't like those sex having str8s which is the weirdest idea imaginable
Coming today at 4pm EST - A new

analysis, covering the entirety of the first game, it's many themes and symbols, and the importance of silence. Hope to see you there! [link below]
as the govt tries to restrict and what we can say online, americans are gonna have to start learning from folks living in china who have been using work arounds for ages
one ive heard of is that gay BL relationships have been called "communist brotherhoods" online lol
... that's literally the silmarillion. that's the whole plot. every elf except galadriel is an idiot and that's why she's alive in LOTR and they arent lmao
#TheRingsOfPower
earned critical acclaim and 25 million views for its premiere. But Elon Musk isn't a fan: “Tolkien is turning in his grave. Almost every male character so far is a coward, a jerk or both. Only Galadriel is brave, smart and nice.”
Hey everyone. I'm sorry to say I've had a really bad episode withy anemia. Long story short I am so physically disabled I can barely get out of bed. I have t done much lately but I hope to rest and recover before Oct. Wish me luck
@adsk4
it would be cool if pyramid head looked different to players based on who they were playing (james sees his pyramid head, heather sees white hunter) but i imagine that would be a lot of work
i had a fantastic thought about the silent hill 2 remake
if it succeeds like re2 remake, or even close to it, and its new and popular, a lot of people are gonna mod it
and someone, SOMEONE
is gonna put thomas the tank engine in it
i dont understand the anger that a silent hill 2 remake exists. don't like it, don't play it! play the original. its the same thing with the re2 remake, ffvii remake, let people enjoy things!! if you dont like it you can play the old one all you like
The next episode of "History of Silent Hill" (and the last episode of part one, KCET), will be premiering live on 10/31 at 12pm EST! I hope to see you there!
I'll be doing some streaming in the afternoon, some horror stories earlier in the day, horror games later at night~!
SH fans, listen.
When
#SilentHill2Remake
comes out, there will be one certain, universal positive good in the world.
One all fans can agree on, one that can unite us. No matter the quality of the game.
When SH2R comes out -
There will be so much more Pyramid Head porn.
if yall want an idea of how much this

news means to creators who make SH content - whatever you feel about the games -
The last few days, my daily traffic numbers have been the highest they have ever been, in FIVE YEARS
i am the most excited about silent hill f, in part because its set in japan, it has a very unique horror vibe, and its been revealed it is set in the 1960s
i think this has fascinating implications for how silent hill could be related to the game 1/
NO ON E PANIC
HES DONE IT GENTS JACKSEPTICEYE IS PLAYING SH2 WE ABOUT TO GET AN INFLUX OF LITTLE BABIES WHO NEVER PLAYED IT GET INTO THE SERIES CAUSE THEIR BOY IS PLAYING IT SH RISE UP

people always say stuff like this, "only men/mostly men play this' and then they have no receipts

i just got an offer for a sponsorship for a game that required a 1:30 ad (made by me) including b roll (made by me, meaning spending time playing the game) that would be present in my videos for a two week period and the payment was... wait for it...
thirty dollars
the more i think about silent hill and other horror series, the more i think the reason why SH fans are divided is bc the series is so divisive
when compared to Resident Evil, Clock Tower/Haunting Ground, and Fatal Frame - the longest running (to my memory) horror franchises 1/
My run thru of

is now live on YT! Overall, I had a great time, I caught some cool throwbacks to the series & lore elements I'm excited about, and the narrative was solid. Not to mention the awesome monster! I'm excited for more

with a video on Silent Hill 2 and the myth that inspires its story... see you at the premiere! Link below~
"you dont really understand silent hill 2, the limitations were the point! james is supposed to feel and experience nothing and we the player are meant to see him as a walking plank of wood with no emotional depth or development as a character, signed random youtube idiot"
for those who don't know, Wilkie Collins was a huge writer, incredibly successful and popular, during Charles Dickins time, and was an associate of the man, and the stories he wrote were controversial during his lifetime
they're often credited as influencing the detective genre,
it happened! my silent hill 2 video's views have climbed so high it has surpassed all my other videos to be my most viewed in the shortest amount of time, at almost 85% more views than is typical, and it's also my longest video ever! thanks to everyone watching!
im kinda sorry not sorry to anyone who followed me for games or horror
but it feels like every day the queer world is on fire and we're being attacked by others and by own our and goddamn enough is enough yall im gonna fight back with my one skill
overly detailed research
Hear the story of
#FatalFrame
/ Project Zero's original trilogy, how it was made, and all the strange things that happened during its creation... including how it was, miraculously, a success story.

i keep thinking about silent hill the short message and i have officially accepted it into my cold dead heart with full love. It has so many heavy and subtle references. It even acknowledges Silent Hill 4 🥲
#SilentHillTheShortMessage
Been a stressful couple of days. Alfred has a minor heart problem, but the EKG sedation was really overly effective and he was really put of it for a while. Scared the crap out of me. Seems to be fine just sleepy now so here's hoping for a full recovery
@Andy_VGC
this has to be like when my old employee Target used to let people steal for a while to get evidence and build a case and then come in to get them???
like Nintendo has to be watching this and taking notes I can't imagine they aren't
i feel like an online archive of all the gay media there is should exist
its becoming harder and harder to find, and even more important to let people know that this stuff exists, across cultures and languages
is this a thing already? or... do i have a new side project
i hope no one thinks im annoyed with them or that im dismissing doubts about the games when im posi about new sh
i just think there's an innate defeatism sh fans have become swallowed by that's just not fun, so I choose to be posi cause life is short and video games are dumb
Interested in the religious history behind the series? Want to hear discussions of characters symbolism, bible motifs, and also dumb jokes about monster asses? Then this

do people not realize how cool it will be to compare the old game & the new? to explore the evolution of games and horror through the lens solely of two versions of silent hill 2? to see how ito and yamaoka evolve their original project?

don't worry, everyone. in the past, the loudest silent hill voices were divisive, and negative. but i promise YOU, that I WILL BE the new LOUD, OBNOXIOUS PERSON about silent hill, and my opinions will be OPEN MINDED, FUN, and VERY GAY
the reason i feel that remakes need to exist in video games has a lot to do with the larger problems of games as a medium - the difficulty of managing an archive of the art. any fan of books can go back pretty far and read easily - once you get to like shakespeare in /
my oldest cat, gandalf, is my best friend, he was my college roommate, he was with me when i first moved out of my parents house, helped me babysit my baby cousin, hes been w me for more than a decade and i love him TuT
as a trans gay man, i find the difference between women writing gay men and gay men writing gay men fascinating
it's not simple enough to be "it's not authentic" or whatever
it's the difference between "non heterosexual" romance and "gay" romance, 1/
my personal list of best to worst silent hills (i still like and enjoy them all)
1 - silent hill 4
2 - downpour
3 - silent hill 3
4 - silent hill
5 - silent hill origins
6 - silent hill 2
7 - shattered memories
8 - homecoming
every once in a while I still get people saying james isn't a bad guy because he did a "good thing" (in the good ending" by putting mary out of her misery
i need people to understand that the intent behind the murder does not matter here 1/

who are you to say that your interpretation has to be true? interpretation is just that - for interpreting. once you decide that HAS to be the truth, you're dictating.
this is why analyzing media online has become so tedious /le sigh
lookit this!! i found an adorable picture of me and my dad!! i was probably sixteen then, and the contrast between good ole country boy and my look is so good XD
i discovered something new about silent hill while researching smt!
writer and designer kimura hiroshi was apparently behind the programming/design (?) of a robbie the rabbit character who interacted with visitors, from what i can tell.
preserve and document content. save media and books. take steps to protect your identity in public and private. wear masks at protests. buy a VPN. keep connected to other folks in ways outside of social media and in your community. the internet might be changing
There is something poignant about SH Short Message, a horror game about a teenager being bullied, releasing the day that the USA is having hearings about the horrors of Facebook/Insta, teen bullying, drugs, sexual abuse, etc
This is a game that is needed for these teens rn
i am delighted to inform you all that i have found more interesting game development haunting stories, now not only for fatal frame, but for shin megami tensei
i could not be more ecstatic

Horror, politics, CDs, censorship, 20 yrs of games history - if you enjoy SH or games, you'll enjoy this~!
I made some old unlisted videos public, & YT thought that meant, let's spam everyone with notifs. So I've lost like 200 subs today, which kinda sucks :/

if masahiro ito is working on the new silent hill, i have a lot of hope because i feel like he would not go back to konami if they were still up to their old bullshit (ie forcing the devs to shove pyramid head in all the things)
how does reap what you sow say the end of the game???? that is such projecting, no newbie to sh2 is gonna be like, OOOH so he killed his wife! obviously!!!!
ive been thinking about this a lot lately - how as a kid i started writing with fanfiction, i made AMVs on youtube , all the sources of my creativity were free exchanges with my friends, and the way i approached them was so different bc of that
