New Playlist & Related 8-Bit Gameage!
I've replaced my Mary Elizabeth McGlynn playlist with the Left 4 Dead OST by the Valve Studio Orchestra. They did a really great job making this soundtrack really creepy, and I love it. Especially Witch, which is the last song on the playlist. The whole thing is great!! :)
Speaking of Left 4 Dead, if you haven't checked out Pixel Force's 8-bit remake, you've missed out! (You should have seen this coming...)
The game can be downloaded here. Below, I've found a game play video so you can see why I'm loving this.
Enjoy the gameage and the ambiance.

Uninvited & Carl Sagan!
Playing Uninvited for DOS and found this:
I dunno if I was supposed to break the glass but now I'm glad that I did. :D
I <3 Carl Sagan.

Judith
So, we all know by now that I'm a freak for old [style] games. Pixels get me all hot. *wiggling eyebrows*
Sorry, that was creepy, wasn't it? Well, if you're like me and get your kicks from old school graphics and unique ideas, you'll love this.
Moving on!
I have a "game" I'd like to share.

Judith
*Spoilers Below*
Judith isn't so much a game, as an interactive tale, something of a ghost story. The story is fairly simple, and the game play is very linear, but that doesn't take away from the atmosphere they created.
So, what's Judith about?
The story takes place in a spooky abandoned castle. We meet Jeff and Emily, secret lovers who sneak away to this place to be alone together. Jeff explains to Emily that the place is a safe place for them to rendezvous because the locals are superstitious about it. Emily runs in first to explore this uncharted and exciting territory. Running in after her, she appears to have.. disappeared.
You spend the game trying to find Emily, while exploring the house from two perspectives: Jeff and Judith.
Judith was the wife of a baron who once owned the manor, who soon discovers her husband has been hiding things from her - like bloody gold, an armoury of not-so-gently-used weapons and a prisoner!
From two different times, you search for the truth, with every door that Judith opens, it is unlocked for Jeff.
This game is unique, and I think it's wonderful. It's very short, but I love the music/sfx and atmosphere created in the game. No really, this game had me on edge the whole time! At least during Judith's parts.
I've played through this several times and I'll probably do it again.
You can download the game from Distractionware.
Or here. (11mb)

A Few Different Things
Ok, no more fake posting. :) There are a few things that I have to say today:
Chzo Mythos
If you don't know what this is, you are missing out. A series of point-and-click adventure games created in AGS. The man responsible? Ben 'Yahtzee' Croshaw. My hero. You might recognize this name for he is also responsible for Zero Punctuation. These have to be some of my absolute favourite games, I've played them soooooo many times.
A series of four survival horror adventures (in this order):
5 Days A Stranger: a cat-burglar breaks into a recently-abandoned mansion only to find he cannot leave.
7 Days A Skeptic: a crew of cosmonauts begin experiencing strange things after they take aboard a metal box.
6 Days A Sacrifice: a city inspector finds himself injured and trapped in the basement of a powerful cult building.
Trilby's Notes: survivors of 5DaS continue to be haunted by bizarre phenomenon.
Seriously, I really can't think of a point-and-click adventure that can top any of these, commercial or amateur, except for Beneath a Steel Sky, but even they sit differently on the spectrum. Where the Chzo Mythos is a survival horror series, Beneath a Steel Sky is a science-fiction game.
All of these games can be found at Abandonia, along with a ton of old DOS games. (Cause I'm old school.)
Yahtzee, you rock.
The Fear of Darkness
Earlier I posted a link to a page about a spooky cave. Seriously, the story scared the poop outta me. And through about the first half of the "blog," I realized that I wasn't reading a blog, but a story. It couldn't have been real, I thought! That's really creepy. Night-light kinda creepy. So I went looking around the internet, and found a few forum posts about it from a long time ago. I must have missed the memo. Either way they directed me to a story, The Fear of Darkness by Thomas Lera.
I was really relieved to see that the website was a hoax. (T_T) I was really worried for a second. I read the story and it goes further past the the "blog" to describe what the horror actually was. The story was altered slightly. Something I really liked about the website was that it added photos. Where they photos originated is beyond me.
When I posted the website, Ted the Caver, I was aware of the hoax and original story, but I wanted it to be read like I read it, with the assumption that this could actually have happened. The truth factor makes it much more frightening.

Angst.
I've been emersing myself in the world of Silent Hill for the past several days. Call it an obsession if you must. I call it a passion. However, I have one thing to say...
Silent Hill 1-4 are brilliant and beautiful.
However, I cannot get past....
Silent Hill: Origins/Homecoming/Shattered Memories, Silent Hill: The Movie, and Silent Hill: The Comics.
I hate you.
Thank you for ruining something I loved.
This is what I look like right about now:
Silent Hill 1-4 are brilliant and beautiful.

Silent Hill: Origins/Homecoming/Shattered Memories, Silent Hill: The Movie, and Silent Hill: The Comics.
I hate you.
Thank you for ruining something I loved.
This is what I look like right about now:
I am disgusting, useless, please let me die.
Dear Climax (Origins/Shattered Memories),
Keep your dirty hands out of my beautiful town.
Alessa is NOT evil, and never was.
I hate you.
Dear FREAKS-WHO-MADE-HOMECOMING,
Stay away from Silent Hill.
Dear Sam Barlow (Writer: Origins/Shattered Memories)
You know nothing about Silent Hill.

A Long Term Project
I've been working for some time on a Silent Hill fan game. The original concept was a 2D Silent Hill 1 remake, because I'm a nerd with a soft spot for 8/16bit graphics. However, I believe I have conceived a new concept, taking place during Silent Hill 1 (the return of Alessa's other half, Cheryl, seven years after the great fire), but mostly independent of Harry and Cybil's adventures.
Allow me to correspond with a few of my associates before construct a storyline worth posting about.
I wish to stay true to the SH1 nature and atmostphere, leaving scare tactics mostly up to anticipation, rather than surprise/shock like most survival horror games. I have mentioned once before that I would really like to build this game in a 2D enviornment, giving it a unique look and feel from other SH games, but I want to still create a scary world for the player. This is going to prove to be a challenge, but as SH has proven for us all, it doesn't take dozens of monsters and loud surprises to make a game scary, but the fear of what exactly might be waiting for you.
I also hope to remain flush with the story/timeline of SH1, without accidentally creating plot holes, or worse, making up my own version of this extremely complex serious of events.
I'll be posting back soon about this.
Suggestions/comments/concerns about what I need to remember, please, please, feel free.

Silent Hill Overload
I'd just like to direct you to something wonderful.
Very full of videos and music and.. whatever else you could possibly want from Silent Hill.
But that's not all...
Check out Fungo's YouTube channel that has tons of videos including Silent Hill 2: The Movie, a full length professionally edited video of Silent Hill 2.
Oh!! And don't forget to check out The Real Silent Hill Experience! Its really worth the watch.
Dude, seriously, keep up the good work.

A Spooky Little Town
Flashlight fading fast and thick clouds devouring the moon, I fled through the darkness, seeking refuge wherever it would be found... Through the dense forest, I spied dim lights ahead. A town! Oh relief... or so I thought.
Approaching, I could see the buildings were dark, twisted and old... I almost turned back, but the forest behind me seemed to swell and undulate with a darkness thicker than the night. Gathering all the resolve I had left, I started towards the town. The flashlight found a sign, before the battery finally gave way and flickered out.
The sign read Ravensblight.
