That town...


That town indeed...
No matter how much I try, it keep calling me back
Like every character in this epic tale, I too am dragged back into this world of wonderous horror

For those who are still confused, I just received Silent Hill: Homecoming in the mail and boy am I excited! Granted, I had to get it from overseas since it's not out here (Grrrr), but for this game passing it over was simply not an option.
I was going to start playing it right away, but I think I'll wait until later, sit down with a hot drink and play it deep into the night.
I'm reluctant to be accepting of the re-inclusion of Pyramid Head. His initial inclusion in the 2nd game was a great addition to the story. One could have concluded that this apparition was a product of James' guilt about the death of his wife in Silent Hill.
I would like to think his appearance in the 5th installment was an effort to continue the theme of guilt on part of the main character. A manifestation of the feelings that the protagonist is trying to suppress, Pyramid Head being the 'bad thoughts' if you will (Much like 'The Butcher' in Origins)
Most likely however, that he is there because he is subject to much fanboyyery. And as much as a like him as a 'character', I would like to think my affection for the big violent guy is far more founded in the deeper meaning for him being there, rather than 'HURRR! He huz a giant knifelololol' >.>

I hope Alex is a hateable as Harry. Cause, lets face it, Harry was a cockhead. And as much as people have love for Heather as a protagonist, I much preferred the darker side of a protagonist. I mean, James was a champ, but he was still a murderer XD

Triangle head would of been a much better name.

Dang, and you were excited to have Mondays off now after your perfomance had ended too.. that sucks!

But yeah, don't worry, I did indeed end up skipping Uni too. I think my unwillingness induced my body to respond, as for about two hours after I woke up I was in bed with crippling womenz cramps. I consider it a blessing, because now I don't feel guilty in not going haha. *win*

Hope you get the 'sauce' out haha. To think a Tamagotchi could be involved in some sort of bodily harm is unspeakable!
