Let's walk the streets of Silent Hill (Complete !)

[ghostdog]

Yeah. I had this EXACT UPS, it started to loose it's capacity after a time and I threw it away. It's a shitty UPS btw.

Also... I *am* using one of those multiplugs, which are SUPPOSED to prevent high voltage. Apparently they don't work that well. At least not with thunder.


ok, enough with the nerdraging.

How eerily Silent Hill-ish.

Anyway...great LP. You have a good balance between the in-game, almost retrospective author dialogue and the acutal game content.

Also:

Never underestimate a piano in a survival-horror game.

 

[Monk]

No UPS, but I use a Japanese-made Matsunaga Stavol AVR.

 

[ghostdog]

The old gods tried to hamper our progress, but nothing can stop us ! So, after that eerie encounter on the roof, we decide to go and find where that drainage pipe leads. Hopefully not straight into a sewer.

Lady luck is with us.

And things get into motion...

As we get back into the dark corridors, the damned children come to greet us...

We hurry to the locked classrooms.

Guess what, they're full of monsters.

Is there no end to them ?


Indeed, they were many this time. We find a health drink. Good, because we just used 2 of them...

The other end of the classroom leads to the the stairs that go down to the basement. Let's go down there.

More hellish decor.

Let's check out the map.

We decide to have a look in the storage room first. A prudent move, since we're rewarded with a lot of goodies.

Shotgun shells *and* an ampoule ? I wonder why the game is so generous all of a sudden...
Ok, let's go into the boiler-

What the hell... What happened to the boiler ? We try to move on, but the way seems blocked by 2 sets of bars.

As we investigate the 2 valves we find out that they are used to rotate the bars.

The bars interlock with each other, but there must be a way to open the passage...


I wont go into detail on to how to solve the puzzle. A little observation will tell you how to turn the valves...

After some fiddling around it seems we finally did it.

I guess it's time to see what lies beyond these bars...

Hmm ? A dead end ?

OH SHI-

We keep going down and down, surrounded absolute darkness... Somehow our flashlight has stopped working.

Huh ?

Where the hell are we ?! wait a minute, is there something lurking in the distance ?

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK ...we must stay away from thing thing, or we're doomed.

After many shots it seems we've managed to do some damage... Its head is splitting into... 2 parts ?!

AHH ! The damn thing is suddenly MUCH faster !!

DAMN !!!!! IT"S TRYING TO SWALLOW US !! MUST. GET. AWAY-

Munching sounds are heard as Harry's body gets chewed by the enornous jaws...

I'll let an ancient one express my feelings :

Useful tips follow :

WTF ?! This tip is probably addressed to some noob who got himself killed by the first enemy. It should be moar liek this :

...

...

...

...


Ok, I think it's time we took things seriously...

The shotgun seems to do a lot of damage...

But after six shots you need to reload and you better do it from the menu -before you're out of shells. Else you're fucked, since it takes a lot of time to reload.

FUCK ! The same thing as before happened, his mouth has opened and now it comes on us very fast.

RUN HARRY !!

Barely escaped its jaws... If we continue like this, we're bound to be chewed up soon. What the hell should we do ?!

The fairytale... maybe it has some something to do with this...


Huh ? But of course, didn't the tale talked about a hunter shooting the Lizard right into its mouth, where its most vulnerable ? Let's try it, it's our last hope.

We shoot straight into the mouth of madness...

:SIRENS WAIL:



Those sirens again, what's going on ?!

:SIRENS WAIL:

ARRRGH- My head...

:SIRENS WAIL:



A black veil engulfs Harry...

...another dream ?

..

..

..

..

Who the hell was that ?

Is this... a boiler room ?!

Poor Harry, thrown from nightmare to nightmare, always with unanswered questions...

 

[Mrowak]

Update for the Update God. Post for his throne.

 

[oldmanpaco]

The lizard killed you? Lightweight.

 

[ghostdog]

Hey, not just *a* lizard. A giant reptile made out of nightmare !

 

[RottingNaziSurfer]

Survival Horror Game Tip #2:

When in doubt, pull the shotgun out.

 

[GarfunkeL]

Hrrrr, creepy game. Good going!

 

[Radisshu]

 

[Micmu]

Protip: try not to kill every monster, just those that really annoy/obstruct you...

 

[Cassidy]

I think it's a bit difficult to take good screenshots while running away and trying to avoid getting surrounded.

 

[ghostdog]

Oh, I haven't killed every monster. I did evade a lot of them when I was in the open. In the school I killed most of them though, as in tight spaces evasion isn't that easy, especially if you want to get the supplies scattered around.

 

[Jaqen]

Ghostdog you deserve a medal for the contribution you've given us with your mods and LP. Nice work!

 

[Mrowak]

I feel the (disturbing) silence overtaking. It's not a good pain.

Read:

MOAR!!

 

[spekkio]

Great update, but this thread needs moar mist...

 

[ghostdog]

After defeating the monster the Sirens transported us to another place/reality... Or was it that girl we saw that did it ? Who was the girl, really ? Hmm, let's hope we'll get some answers later, for now we better grab that key from the floor.

K.Gordon ? Haven't we heard that name before ?

Let's have a look around. It seems that we're back to the "normal" school...

:BELL CHIMES:

Huh ? What's that sound ?


:BELL CHIMES:

We consult our map. Is there a church in the vicinity ?

Bingo ! Now, about this Gordon guy, I think I recall him from the teachers list we found on the reception...

Now I remember ! It was that house we visited during the night-time !
I guess it's time we left this place, since Cheryl doesn't seem to be here. We better check out that church.

We're back into the misty streets of Silent Hill. Farewell Midwich Elementary School, it was a fun ride

We run to Gordon's house and find a dog guarding the entrance.

We dispose of the rabid creature and head for the house.

Supplies and a save point greet us inside.

The place seems cozy enough, but we can't stay any longer. The bells are calling.

More devastated roads block our passage. We'll have to take a small alley to reach the Church's road...

Huh ? The radio is hissing... Is there a monster near ?

The bastard tries to ambush us, but we're ready.

FUCK. He wants to make us his bitch !

...But we're nobody's bitch.

After evading a couple more of them, we reach the Bloch street. To the west, we find another dead end...

HEY ! DO YOU SEE WHAT I SEE ? :D

FUCK YEAH ! NOW WE'LL KICK SOM-

There's no gasoline. Can't use it.




Oh well, who knows, maybe well find some gas eventually... We better get to the church.

The big marble signs read "Balkan Church". The bells have stopped chiming, but we're sure this is where the sound came from. Even if we find nothing at least this holy place will give us sanctuary , right ?

Let's enter...

Someone's here...

I've been expecting you. It was foretold by Gyromancy.

What are you talking about ?.

I knew you'd come. You want the girl, right ?

The girl ? You're talking about Cheryl ?

I SEE everything...

Stay back !

...Tell me what you know !

Nothing is to be gained from floundering about at random. You must follow the path.

The path ?

The path of the hermit, concealed by Flauros...

What ? What are you talking about ?!

It can counteract the wrath of the underworld.

Underworld ? You know what's happening in this town ?

... The flauros will help you.

Damn, she's leaving ! After her !

Shit, she's gone. She seemed to know a lot about what has taken place in Silent Hill. Don't know if we can trust her, but let's check out those things she left for us...

What the hell is this Flauros thing for ?

No clue. There's nothing more of significance in the church, except another notepad to write our memoirs. Let's get out.

As we continue heading east, we come upon an opened door next to the gas station...

Now, here's the deal. In a second run through the game you would find a tank of gas in this room. Gas that can be used to fuel gas-fueled weapons. The chainsaw is one of them, we'll find the second later...

So, guess what, we'll haxxor the game once more to get that gasoline tank !

[HAXXOR]

[/HAXXOR]


Ok. Let's search the room.

Hmm, it seems we can't do anything with that car engine. We should leave. The actual gas station is out of gas... It's a Shell statio- no wait, it actually reads "Hell station". Nice.

Let's head to the southern str- CRAP !

Another dog, another kill, another chasm. Hmm, is that a truck in the distance ?

We can't drive it, but we can sure as hell grab all that ammo next to it.

Let's have a look at the map. To the east there's a bridge that crosses over the river, maybe we should head that way...

The crumbled stairs to the left and right of the bridge lead to an endless void, but we actually find some useful supplies near the edge.

The bridge is up. Hmm, don't we have a "bridge control" key ? Is there a control tower nearby ?

Yes, there is We enter it to find some interesting stuff...

Hmm, it seems that the bridge leads to the shopping district. Let's have a look at the controls :

And we have a key for that, don't we ?

The bridge is down.


Marvelous. As we exit the building we spot a second door below us. Maybe we should check it out too...

We can't see shit.

The lights don't work, but thankfully we have our flashlight...

Ahh, that's better. Hey, there's some sort of tool by the bridge mechanism.

It needs gasoline to work...


Oh yeah, the Rock Drill can also be used as a weapon


And now we've come to a serious choice my friends ! The gas we have will be enough only for ONE weapon. Which one should we choose... the rock drill, or the chainsaw ?

CHAINSAW

• 
  Advantages:
• Many types of attack.
• Harry can move while using it.
  
  Disadvantages:
• Enemies can hit you back when you attack them.

OR

ROCK DRILL

• 
  Advantages:
• More powerful than the Chainsaw.
• Enemies can't touch you.
  
  Disadvantages:
• You must remain stationary when you use it.

(Once you've filled a weapon with gas, it will last till the end of the game.)





At last, some meaningful C&C ! What will it be codex ? I await your votes.

• [*]More wild rumors emerged from the fact that you find the car engine in the gas station. Some people claimed that if you fulfill certain conditions you could pick up the engine and place it in an ambulance (which you find later) to get a secret ending. Another successful trolling attempt.
  
  [*]The name "Flauros" is mentioned in occult works such as "The Lesser Key of Solomon" and "Pseudomonarchia Daemonum". Flauros, known by other names such as Haures and Flavros, is placed as a high-ranking demon in the hierarchy of Hell.
  
  [*]Gyromancy is a method of divination in which a person spins around inside -or walks the circumference- of a circle drawn on the ground, the perimeter of which is marked with the letters of an alphabet. The divination is inferred from the letter at the position where the person either stumbles or falls across the circle’s edge. The person would repeat the practice till he evolved an intelligible sentence, or till death or madness intervened."
  
  [*]The rock drill is most likely a reference to the Tarantino/Rodriguez movie "From Dusk till Dawn", where the protagonist Seth Gecko armed himself with a rock drill against a horde of flesh eating vampires.

 

[spekkio]

Kim Gordon is not a "he" FFS.

About the choice:

 

[hoverdog]

kim gordon is disappoint.


also, steamdrill, chainsaw is so passe.

 

[Mrowak]

Kim Gordon is not a "he" FFS.

About the choice:

I was going to vote rockdrill but spekkio convinced me with the evil dead pick.

Go all Ash Williams on them :twisted:

Worst. Divination method. EVER. I vote for the drill, because it'll pierce the heavens!!!!

Ah, it seems I've missed all these sonic youth references.

Oh well, the SH creators make some trippy references. In the beginning they had named Cheryl "Dolores" and Harry "Humbert" in reference to the Lolita movie/novel. :shock: The US Konami department made them change the names, though.

 

[SerratedBiz]

Ash and the Doom guy both agree that the chainsaw is the more manly of weapons.
