Silent Hill Commentary Part 3 Burning on the Angry Chair

Tonight on Silent Hill Harry is transported to the Other World, Skully gets the lyrics to his favorite Alice in Chains song wrong, and the Mumblers enjoy their screentime as enemies for all their worth before never being seen again until the sewer level and a brief cameo in Silent Hill Revelations

Still to this day, I'm amazed I got a few people into Yu-Gi-Oh thanks to my old review. BTW that took months to make that review when it was suppse to come out 1 month after the high school musical 3 review. Speaking of, I once saw some fanart of Yugi and friends in the Wood Side Apartment complex. I love seeing fanart like that.
Been meaning to ask, when I rewatched your old commentary I remembered you used to play bass guitar and wanted to get into sound design. Did anything come out of it or has it just become a hobby you do every now and again. If so, I can relate because I admitly don't enjoy drawing as I used to and have somewhat lost my passion. I still do it every now and again when I want to relax.
Weirdly Mid Witch elementary school brings back memories of when I was in primary school. I really miss those days because school and life was much more fun compared to highschool which was stressful and the worst.

Yu-Gi-Oh! and Silent Hill are a match made in heaven. I could easily see the early era Yu-Gi-Oh! manga having some very interesting Silent Hill experiences.
As for playing Bass Guitar I still play on occasion for my own personal satisfaction and as for sound design its also strictly hobby related or whenever I can geek out about it (like in the Resident Evil Zero commentary) but otherwise most of my time is either taking up working a regular job, taking care of responsibilities or working on the channel.
Cherish the good times man.

2:09 Wow, dat mic quality, granted I'm certainly not one to talk with my current mic either. (I probably will watch your old commentary as well if you were wondering, especially with how you aren't showing off the other endings like you mentioned)
3:24 Yes they do indeed have a name, they're called Creepers (Jeepers! it's the Creeper!) and apparently they are supposed to represent Alessa's dislike of insects, they also appear in the arcade game actually, bet you forgot that exists.
6:50 Ya know now that I look at the wall it kinda looks like a creepy face, I wonder if that was intentional.
7:44 Still don't quite know how I feel about the way Shattered Memories handled Harry, I still haven't played the game but I at least know what happens, but who knows maybe I'll at least come around to it once I play the game.
8:10 "Could it be foreshadowing for the next area? THE GAME IS AFOOT WATSON!"
8:23 Aaaand Harry walks right past the extra shotgun ammo.
11:24 "Hi we would like to notify you about your cars extended warranty" But in all seriousness, I 100% agree with you on feeling for Harry, it's why I think he's so great, he doesn't care about the monsters or the cult, he just wants his daughter back, and yes that isn't all that matters to him, but him continuing to soldier on despite all the danger and wackos, it makes me like him as a character so much, definitely among the top ten dads in video games. (In my opinion)
12:46 Didn't know we found out who Harry's actor is, might have to check out that interview. And if you want my opinion on how he did, I think he did pretty decent actually, he's not too bad as Dracula either from the clips I've seen of SotN. (And yeah, it sucks that Konami isn't willing to pay their actors, and the fact that it keeps the games from being re-released makes it suck a bit more, I can only hope that Konami gets their fingers out of their @$$)
14:39 "How disgraceful" But yeah, I agree that it's actually well done, the locker lures you into a false sense of security by making you think there's nothing else in the room and them WHAM! it gets you to give you the thing you need, and because we encountered the cat it also subverts your expectations, the fact that it's also the only jumpscare in the game helps. (And that it doesn't have that loud of a sound attached to it)
23:19 Considering Heather calls it "The good stuff" I have a suspicion that it is indeed a type of drug. (Good question on what they taste like though, if I had to guess maybe oranges or mango? strawberry perhaps? idk)
27:00 Harry: "I do not think about va(#&%^ that much" (That right there is a Rabtoons reference my skully friend) And to talk about Split Head as a boss, he's alright, although he does feel like he takes way too many hits on hard.
And finally, to talk about the diegetic sound thing, I 100% agree that sound that is realistically coming from the game is much scarier than stuff that isn't, (Can't for the life of me remember the difference lol) and that actually reminds me of Luigi's Mansion funnily enough, basically what happens is that one part of the main theme walking around is not actually being played in universe, the usual game music, and then you have Luigi humming or whistling depending on if the area is safe, to fill in the parts of the track that aren't in the actual instrumentation, like the song is playing in his head, the youtuber Nitro Rad goes into more detail on this in his video on the game if you're interested.

Don't worry 2014 Skully is wrapping a noose around his neck as we speak.
No, I didn't forget about the arcade game because I remember seeing Guy Cihi playing it after telling me to stop sitting there eating pizza.
It might be, especially given that the designers put something similar in the Hallway of the Lakeview Hotel in SH2 when Mary has her rant towards James.
Bare in mind that Harry's personality also shifts with your decisions in that game so there is a lot of give and take based on what you make him out to be. But in so far as his core personality traits go, I still think he's fairly solid, even if the game makes him look more like a NERD.
Harry IS the Best Dad in video games. Forget Gad of Boi, forget the Lame of us screw Walking Dead and every other Parent sim walkabout game over the last 10 years, Harry is the OG homie!
I honest to god wonder whether or not its Silent Hill's lack of success in Japan that keeps them from re-releasing the games via a collection like Metal Gear or Castlevania (since the latter success world wide would probably make Konami happier to pay for performance royalties) or if Silent Hill series wide, including the Post Team SIlent Era just had a different clause compared to other games when it came to paying their VAs and Mocap actors?
A nice healthy jump scare that doesn't linger with scare chords or false build up. Just a BOO and then you're on your way to new adventure!
Mmmmmm! I want Strawberry Drugs right this very now!
Aw, c'mon, Who's afraid of a lizard? But yeah RABtoons... Haven't thought about them in years. Did like the SH4 Parody they made over a decade ago though.
That's a nice detail on the part of the Luigi's Mansion developers that gives him a nice bit of character in regards to his cowardice.
