just out of the corner of my eye ...
Another day, another migraine. Feeling sick for an entire week can start to wear on you. I wake up in the morning and dread the late afternoon, knowing that I probably have nausea and a pounding head to look forward to. I mean, I have the medication to get rid of it, but then I get to spend the rest of the day in that hazy, drug-induced state of sleepy weakness. While that fuzzy state is preferrable to feeling like my head needs to be chopped off, it starts to get pretty lame when you have to spend so much time feeling like you're not completely there.
I just got done playing a half hour of Silent Hill and I'm already creeped completely out and feeling like there's something lurking behind me, staring over my shoulder. The SH game I'm playing at the moment isn't particularly good ... it's slow and hard to use, but man, regardless of that, the creators of this game know how to do atmosphere and they know how to make their monsters scary. The graphics may not be stellar but they're pretty horrific and even when there aren't monsters about, the haziness of the game coupled with its genuienly creepy sound effects (static, children laughing) makes for pretty frightening gameplay.
It's silly but I have a hard time playing Silent Hill. Whenever a monster or zombie or nurse or Pyramid Head is near me I, like, have a panic attack and don't know what to do. Well, I mean, I know what to do, I just can't do it because I get so scared that all I want to do is run away. Which is stupid ... it's just a game, I know I'm not actually going to die, but it freaks me out. I had to stop playing because I wasn't getting anywhere, I was just getting scared. I'm so lame, sometimes.
Okay, I'm gonna have to stop writing about this now - my paranoia of the creepy lurkies has gone up about ten points and I'm close to giving myself a heart attack. Why can't there be more light in this room?
