@@samjiman Yes but it's done with sort of a short-cut. Instead of drawing every frame, I only have to draw *some* frames. I linked the video I learned from in the description if you are interested in learning more!
My main issue with the toilet thing is that there was no reason for him to suspect there was anything in the toilet at all. There was no way he could see through that "murky" water, let alone suspect there would be anything useful. He full commits like, "Cool toilet, I think I'll see how far I can reach into it," with absolutely no outside information telling him he should.
@thebestbelmont4273 to quote heather, "what kind of a weirdo does that?" Cause youre correct, there is no outward reason for him to suspect theres actually something in there
Fun fact, they directly reference this in Silent Hill 3. At one point you can try to get Heather to stick her hand in a clogged toilet, and she almost does it, but then she goes "UGH forget it this is way too gross." Then she, I kid you not, looks directly into the camera and says "WHO WOULD EVEN THINK OF DOING SOMETHING SO DISGUSTING?" The devs 100% knew.
Jack from Bioshock did the same thing when he found his first EVE hypo, and this is AFTER he's aware that he's stuck in this rundown underwater city full of bloodthirsty maniacs.
You can censor me. But you will never clean your mind from that crime you are commiting. All that money wont buy you a place in heaven..........just hell on earth.....there in your mind everytime out there.
The entire puzzle element of this game felt very outdated. Resident Evil at least attempted to make the puzzles a little more reasonable, but here? If you were stuck in a town full of monsters, would you really go to a record store to fix a broken record that just so happens to release a key stuck in a jukebox you had no way of knowing about?
@@Ellionart Yeah, people are missing out on what makes surreal great. Maybe we need some info on who put what in the holes to really flesh out the LORE lol.
Look it was a different time back then. If you saw a dark hole, you just stuck your hand in it to see what was inside. Now nobody sticks their hands anywhere because they too busy on their phones
Can you imagine this game after COVID? James would be too afraid to get any part of him even A LITTLE dirty. You would have to find the Arm-Length Gloves in the Hospital, before he would even consider sticking his arm into a black, goo-filled hole.
@@BrockLee3 this reminded me of that scene in Workaholics when he has to reach into a pool of sludge in a sewer, so he puts on a jumbo condom which goes up to his elbow. Who knew that jumbo condoms was the one thing James should have been stocking up on instead of needles he just happens to pick up from random places?? 🤷♂️
@@Memnoch_the_Devil LOL! Random needles in random places. I wonder what was in them... But, yes! James does things which normal people would NOT. EXAMPLE: I was at a gas station; when I saw a bottle of THC exctract sitting next to one of the gas-pumps. I asked the guy on the other side of the pump if the bottle was his; and, he said, "No." So, I said, "Okay, then." I immediately picked up the bottle, and threw it into the garbage can. He said, "Good answer." That bottle could have been tampered with...who knows what was ACTUALLY in that bottle? But, James probably wouldn't have cared.
Hadn't seen the end of the video when I read your comment. Thought you were referencing some of the endings and it made me laugh. Was a much better dark humor joke before seeing the end of the video unfortunately
Part of the fun and horror in silent hill franchise is how disgusting everything is, but irl no frickin way am i sticking my arm in any of that mess. Great video as always, Matthew!!!
You only stick your hand in one hole in the wall in the original. In the remake they decided to essentially make this Silent Hill's version of Super Mario's Question Blocks...
And seriously why did they make us press the button 3 times on every single hole you reach into and jump into? It got really old after the 10th time. The remake lacked any subtly the original had. You're telling me by the end of the labyrinth James is still hesitant to jump down a hole? The whole point is he jumps down with reckless abandon because he doesn't care what happens to him.
@@MrNickMagnante I've been saying that for hole jumps in the labyrinth for the longest. Like I get the first two times you jump into a dark hole, but after the third, fourth, fifth time you may as well be doing flips as you dive in.
@@MrNickMagnante it adds points for one of the endings if you take a moment or back out fully before going through with it. If you button mash then you get a lower score and potentially lock an ending.
Yeah! Take this ^ guy's advice. I tried looking into one of those bathroom-holes...and, something jammed itself into my eye. I don't know what it was...but, it looked like a purple-headed cyclop with it eye closed.
@@Eatbutternow Really? Because, I keep seeing a lot of men with their butts up to that hole. I think they were trying to repel that purple-headed cyclops with their farts, or something. But, I think you might be right! Using my mouth to bite that cyclops for poking me in the eye would be some sweet revenge!
It would have been appropriate for James to pull out half of a figurine from the lake or something else from the lake and Maria's just flabbergasted that stuff's in random places or that James really wants to collect junk.
I like to think in a better time James never went to Silent Hill and ended up visiting his dad instead which led to him helping Henry escape his apartment and then the two of them became dopey best buds.
I'm in love with this game and I'd be very very very remised if you didn't do another set of sketches around the series - I'd be utterly delighted to watch another vid
2 things I love, knowing born from a wish happened and not only the ending but also knowing that Maria did not do anything as gross prior. The other is her still knowing James name without telling him.
I like that you got the exact type of dialogue from the original game in the first half also main reason James keeps putting his hands and arms in toilets and dirty walls is because he doesn’t care about his health or well being anymore. He really just wants to catch a disease and die then live with guilt and depression.
I'll never forget my first playthrough. I was stuck for weeks. I checked everything I could think of. Eventually I ended up clicking on and a fence. That was all it took.
Was expecting him to jump through the planks with the way he was staring at the end lol. That was all I could think about at the end of the game was "how crazy is James to jump down multiple holes he doesn't know how deep they go" lol.
when i saw the hole in the wood, i didn't think that he would reach his arm into it, i was expecting him to straight-up jump into without any questions asked or any indications he should do so.
If you understand the story of Silent Hill, you’ll understand why he has stuff like that. It’s a nightmare you do irrational things in your nightmares.
Survival Horror fan? Watch my Alan Wake 2 video here!

@MatthewMcCleskey Thanks, mate. I'll check it out.
Dont forget he did all that without rolling up his sleeve either, just.....shoved all of it in the toilet
Can't blame him. silent hills must be really cold, that 2 in the name must be the temperature
@LeDanc but then you have a cold, wet smelly sleeve. Stay classy james lol

Unlocked achievement 'Shame'
Was such a genius call out to Silent Hill 2. As a kid being scared playing my 3rd silent hill, that was a good way to lighten the mood for me.
Heather is best protagonist
And it only works if you have a SH2 save on your PS2.
There is a reference of this moment in Withering rooms too.
I recommend this game.
And the syringes, he was jamming those rusty old RANDOM syringes all over his arms
Jack from Bioshock did the same thing when he found his first EVE hypo, and this is AFTER he's aware that he's stuck in this rundown underwater city full of bloodthirsty maniacs.
@@MegamanXfan21xx Jack at least had an excuse, would you kindly.

It’s the fact that he doesn’t even know the items are in there that makes it so much more absurd.

This comment actually laid me tf out 😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣
Well this run he's definitely getting the leave ending
I got the "In Water" ending :(
@@MatthewMcCleskey just like where his hand is 😔
@@MatthewMcCleskey checked all those holes and toilets, not even one health drink or syringe, damn :(
@@sherdest5141 I just wanted to make sure I wasn't using health items too early :(
Dude has to leave 😂
Should also add how James just jumps into deep, dark holes without knowing what's at the bottom and if he'll die from the fall xD
The amount of random guesses someone would have to make to get through Silent Hill is more dangerous than the monsters that can be beaten with a stick
I guess he doesn't care if it's dangerous or not
Where there's a hole there's a James!
so the take away from all this is that James has a thing for holes? >.>
"Who is putting items in disgusting holes"
You know what james...thats pretty sound logic, i accept your quirk.
I'm the one putting items into disgusting holes. What items, you may ask? Well now...
I think it's well established that James is very preoccupied with putting things in holes.
Well…at least maybe the lake washed some of the stinky wall-toilet goop off.
James finally washes his right hand, the true good ending.
After that the lake becomes a toilake.
I hadn't finished watching the video before I saw this comment, so I thought you were talking about the In water ending 💀
With his luck it'd also be goopy still-water
Hadn't seen the end of the video when I read your comment. Thought you were referencing some of the endings and it made me laugh. Was a much better dark humor joke before seeing the end of the video unfortunately
The saving screen at the end was a nice touch
I like how he was looking down, as if the save point was in a hole below him...
This person tried to unlock your phone
"Wife pov"
Part of the fun and horror in silent hill franchise is how disgusting everything is, but irl no frickin way am i sticking my arm in any of that mess. Great video as always, Matthew!!!
Since Leon fell on his head. He's been in a real fog, lately.
😂😂 that got me
2:42 I thought he was gonna jump in 😂
Yeah, don’t forget all the random jumping into random floor holes too!
Same!
Wasn't expecting we'd get the In Water ending
I'm surprised he didn't jump into the hole. He does that too sometimes...
"...And not just the wall holes... But the sewer drains, and toilets too! I HATE them!"
Hey , I mean , the loss of his wife create a hole in him , he just try to find a way to fill it 🤣
With his hand!

There was a hole here; it is gone now.
I started flat lining the second "Why are you adding a clock hand!?" came in as immediate follow up
Remember kids, if you see a hole in a wall of bathroom: don't try to stick hand in it. And try to avoid looking in
Yeah! Take this ^ guy's advice. I tried looking into one of those bathroom-holes...and, something jammed itself into my eye. I don't know what it was...but, it looked like a purple-headed cyclop with it eye closed.
True, in order to solve that puzzle and earn the Cyclops’s reward you need to hold your open mouth up to the hole instead.
@@Eatbutternow Really? Because, I keep seeing a lot of men with their butts up to that hole. I think they were trying to repel that purple-headed cyclops with their farts, or something.

The music and the pacing of the conversation was on point
“Can’t say I blame the kid, honestly” Ahahaha!
This video truly understand Silent Hill 2
Ernest warned you about him, Maria.
"Well, who's putting items into disgusting holes? That's my question"
No no no, he's got a point.
the way he says "jukebox button" kills me
Dudebro: “Any hole is a goal!” James: “…every…hole is a goal.”
It would have been appropriate for James to pull out half of a figurine from the lake or something else from the lake and Maria's just flabbergasted that stuff's in random places or that James really wants to collect junk.
James has always been unhinged.
My man sped-run through the campaign just by refusing basic hygiene.
He's going to give those drowned souls a high five.
I think the secret ending that shows it was a shiba inu that caused everything would also be funny.
Well at least he washed his hand technically at the end in the lake.
Man can't wait for the Silent hill 4 to become a remake the game is the definition of holes XD
Heather (SH3): Forget it! What kind of person would do it, anyway?
At least he washed his hands in the end.
Stuck his hand in holes. Jumped in holes. Crawled through holes. Looked through holes. James spends a lot of time with holes.
And a*holes too 😏
I never would have thought to see a Silent Hill parody from you but I love it so much lol
Please do more SH ones! I think there's still some more weirdness that can be fun to explore in these videos :D
It was weird then and it’s still weird now.
The acting deserves Oscar nominations.
Oh yeah i should get an achievement for checking every possible toilet in the game
After countless loops I'm pretty sure James wouldn't care what he gets into for one bit, he just sighs "here we go again".
I just had surgery, and this was the worst possible thing to watch; I felt like I was going to split my stitches in laughter
I also love that he will just happily jump into what are seemingly bottomless pits
Why does he remind me so much of Carl from the walking dead 😂
Thanks for addressing this ever since I play the original
I like to think in a better time James never went to Silent Hill and ended up visiting his dad instead which led to him helping Henry escape his apartment and then the two of them became dopey best buds.

2 things I love, knowing born from a wish happened and not only the ending but also knowing that Maria did not do anything as gross prior. The other is her still knowing James name without telling him.
Lol, when I saw the hole in the pier I thought FOR SURE he was gonna jump down into it.
Thanks for doing my boy James justice!
James's checking every hole. He's not ghost buster, he's a hole buster
I like how shes says again. Like he went for her hand the first time.
you really aced James' line delivery, well done
He does it in 3 stages, deep deeper and deepest without any remorse or second thought.
James stickin his hand in dirty holes was taken too far even the symbolism of it got lost in the goo
the remake made james less ditzy haha. i love how you played hard into his cluelessness haha
Honestly, this got me laughing. Great work. 👍
I was feeling meh and "what is the point of this video but well done" at the halfway mark. You got me.
James is a filthy biiiishhh. GJ!
Lmfao, loved it. With all the holes he jumps down, I thought he was going to jump through the hole in the deck. 😂

Vinny vinesauce needs to see this 😂
And that's not even half of it.
He starts JUMPING into the things later!
That's what maria did after shadows, in the afterlife
She's a guilt ghost and she STILL thinks James is gross
hes so tek knight coded
I would believe this exact reaction from James
James would kill it playing that hand in the log game in Flash Gordon.
he could just have washed his hands on the lake...
imagine if he pulled out something from the water.
that wouldve put the peak, over the peak.
This is so accurate 😂 not to mention how he would be covered in filth from curb stomping monsters in sexy heels 😂
when i saw the hole in the wood, i didn't think that he would reach his arm into it,
i was expecting him to straight-up jump into without any questions asked or any indications he should do so.
Maria: "You didn't even wash your hands after reaching into the toilet?!!"
James: "ummmm......no""
🤣🤣🤣
i thought he was going to jump into that boardwalk hole. he also loves _jumping_ into mystery holes.
I thought he wanted to jump down, another speciality from James: jumping down on holes where you can't see the bottom.
I know the type.. "where have you been?? Why are you covered in strange bodily fluids??" Some people always look for the negative
probably another 2 year wait for silent hill 3 remake
And the staircase or door with a random milk crate or traffic cone blocking it... dude just step over it
For me it’s looking down in the hole and getting ready to jump
Lmao “who’s putting items in disgusting holes is my question”
"Who's putting items into disgusting holes?"
I'm with James on this one, who is doing that?
He kind of got what he needed so it turns out sticking your hand in all sorts of weird places isn’t such a bad thing.
He'll find her later, in one of the holes, just ridiculing him for checking.
At least a reach into the lake would wash the hand a bit lol
"Thats a lake! There isn't anything in there!"😅
James is so humiliated by this that he then proceeds to jump down three bottomless holes.
He could actually washes his hands this way... but dropping Maria saves him a lot of troubles, though.
Not to mention that James jumps into deep, dark holes without any second thought. 🕳️👀
Well... At least he washed his hand in the lake water.
I swear in one of the later cutscenes after you meet Maria you still see his sleeve is damp asf.
Would've been funny if he actually found something in that hole, reinforcing the idea that he does always find stuff.
If you understand the story of Silent Hill, you’ll understand why he has stuff like that. It’s a nightmare you do irrational things in your nightmares.
this is why mary yelled at him so much
missed oppurtunity to make a think out og him not pulling his sleeves up before r5eaching into toilet
The dog is perfect
