I nearly bought Silent Hill 2 once, but chickened out.

Similiar experience...

I bought Silent Hill years ago for the PS1. I remember begining to play and just getting freaked out...the whole mood of the game was just soooo creepy...I didn't get very far till I couldn't take it anymore, and have never picked up the title since...RE I can handle (and love), but this game really got me...

Also, many, MANY moons ago, I can slightly remember one of the first NES titles I ever played (must have been around 7 or 8 yrs old): Back to the Future. Now I don't remember much about it, but I do remember running around and along the top of the screen there was some sort of meter with pictures of my family (brother, sister, mom?- not sure exactly, kinda fuzzy). As you played, your family member would slowly fade away so you had to move quick. I remember being PETRIFIED about my family dying and fading and after playing for a little bit, I bust out crying and ran to my parents. Needless to say, the game was returned to Blockbuster shortly after.

Oh! I forgot to mention! I have only played the original Silent Hill, and I was only able to play for about 10 minutes before getting totally freaked out and turned it off. I'm a wuss like that.

LoL, that's one of the funniest things I have ever heard. That's too bad because the game is fun as hell.

I don't let anyone watch me play 1st person shooters that let you save freewill anywhere because of the way I play them. I will save constantly, usually before it looks like there might be trouble (like entering a new room.) I will then, for example, enter the room and get in a gunfight. After everyone in the room is dead I will load my game and try again if I'm not happy with the results.

"No, I'm pretty sure I can kill everyone in this room without taking damage. Let's try this again."

Sometimes playing the same 5 minutes of game over and over again a dozen times or so.

I am very anal about this for some reason, even for games that have no consequences for dying (Bioshock.)

I'm glad you enjoyed it. I just couldn't take having to keep both of us safe. It wasn't so bad at first, a couple guys here or there, but then she got caught in a bear trap while those dudes with tentacle heads were swarming. I pretty much had a breakdown and turned it off.

How many conversations have we had about these things!? How f*cking many!?

**Barkworm** · 09-17-2007, 02:52 AM

Let him buy a PSP. It'll be a good learning experience. It was for me. I learned that the PSP F*CKING SUCKS!

Ra · 09-17-2007, 03:00 AM

Really? I thought you said you managed to learn how it made a great paperweight...

**Barkworm** · 09-17-2007, 03:07 AM

Seriously, I have a 4GB Memory stick so I use the PSP as an MP3 player. Exclusively.

Ra · 09-17-2007, 03:12 AM

Yikes. I knew it was bad, but not THAT bad. MP3 player only? Wowza...

*Drtooth* · 09-17-2007, 11:41 AM

Another not so secret secret....

I've gotten perfects and beat all the Mario games from SMB 2 through Yoshi's Island..... and I still can't defeat Mario 1.

Hahaha! So do I! My regular MP3 player broke, so now I just carry around my PSP instead. I always have WTF loaded in the UMD tray, though. Just in case I'm super f*cking bored and don't feel like listening to music while waiting for a ride or something. I'll break out a couple of the little mini-games on there.

One of the only worthwhile PSP games I was looking forward to, the Earthworm Jim remake, was cancelled a couple months ago; so I don't think I'll own a PSP game until GoW comes out, and that'll probably be the last one I ever get.

I have to admit I'm guilty of that one too.

And even the GoW videos we've seen so far looked rather underwhelming. Not to mention that I can't imagine playing the game with that god awful analog knob.

I loaded custom firmware and turned my PSP into a portable Neo-Geo a long time ago. I'm still waiting for GoW and that WipeOut sequel to land. Then the UMD tray can get some use again.

Yeah, very true. I guess it's not so bad knowing that GoW doesn't have a set camera, but I don't know. That little nub is completely f*cking worthless.

**Barkworm** · 09-18-2007, 01:15 PM

Plus the lack of a second analog stick seems to make evading pretty awkward.

EDIT: Another one of my "secrets" seems to be that I buy worthless gaming machines. First I got a Wii, then I bought a f*cking PSP. I'm going for a Gizmondo next.

Peanut · 09-18-2007, 01:24 PM

While you're at it, buy a Dreamcast! OH NO I DIDN'T! Or did I?

**Barkworm** · 09-18-2007, 01:37 PM

Maybe I'll get one after I buy a Genesis.

BA - DUM - PSSSH!!!
