How do- hold on, we can't start this without the proper music! Please open your playlist, put it on random and link us (youtube, lyrics, download) to the first song that comes up. Tell us something about this song, for example if it would make a good theme song for you and why or why not. Masterpiece (of Art) by Head Control System is the first song that came up. And actually, this is my first really listening to the song. Even though I have over 2000 songs on my computer, I tend to only listen to maybe umm...100? Oh! But you wanted the lyrics, or a youtube link, or a download. Unfortunately no lyrics, because finding them on the internet is next to impossible; so here, you guys get a link to download the song.
HCS - Masterpiece (of Art)
Would it make a good theme song for me? I'm going to say no. Lyric wise the song doesn't fit me, and the tempo of the song is just a bit too...club like for my liking.
Then again, maybe we should put the randomness aside and let you pick your own song. So... if protagonist!you went exploring your house/apartment/tent under a bridge, which song would we hear in the background?
Negura Bunget - Jar Reason? Well, it doesn't really have any lyrics, which is important for a scenario like this. It has a Silent Hill vibe, without being an actual Silent Hill song; plus I just find the song to be incredibly atmospheric, and just a touch haunting.

And since we're already in your room, can you maybe tell us a bit about it? You know, how it looks and which items of great foreshadowing significance we may find in it? It has dark green walls, and wood flooring. There's a large-ish bed in there; an entertainment center that really doesn't get used, and a bookshelf. Would you find anything foreshadowing anything significant? Yeah, you'd find out that I really, really, really like heavy metal music. All of the CDs are metal, most of my DVDs are VA compilation discs of music videos, and more than half my magazines are extreme music periodicals.
And in the SH universe, there would be a few CDs scattered about that you could look at, and they might hold some importance.
Alright, back on topic! How do you react if you witness somebody treating somebody else badly, be it through physical or verbal abuse? Honestly? I really don't know what I'd do, because it's never happened to me. On one hand I'd love to say that I would stand up for the person, but chances are I won't, because I'd be too scared to. It really depends though. If it's someone I know, and like, then I'll try to defend them. If it's someone I don't know, the chances of me helping them are pretty slim. If I do help a stranger in this case, then it's probably because something inside me took over.
How do you prefer others to react when you're being treated badly, either physically or verbally?
I'd kind of like it if they stuck up for me, but I wouldn't expect it. I'd prefer if they would help, but at the same time I don't want them helping me, and then lording that over me for the rest of my life.
Say, do you have any brothers or sisters? If so, fancy telling us a bit about your relationship? One older brother, and we really don't talk much. It's not because we don't like each other; it's just that he's much older, and our tastes are completely different. We literaly have very very little common, and very little to talk about.
And children? How do you / do you think you'd act as a parent? Children? Ha ha ha! No! I've heard that I'd be a great parent, but I know that I'm too selfish, and immature to have one.
= not going that way =
When approached by a stranger, do you act...
quiet or talkative? Quiet. It's a stranger, I'm not going to act all talkative around them.
friendly or cold? A bit of both. I don't want to come off as too friendly, or too cold. Basically, I give off the feeling that I'm toleration the person, maybe being a little friendly; but at the same time I make it known that I don't want the stranger hanging around me.
open or avoidant? Both. I'm not going to be secretive about non-vital information (where's so and so, have you seen this, where did you get your hair done, etc) but for the more personal things, I'll be avoidant.
confident or insecure? Confident. Insecurity makes others see you as unsure about something, and that tends to invite in more nagging.
Quotes here! Please tell us if you agree or disagree with them and why that is.
Blood is thicker than water. Err, no. I'm really not close to a lot of my family, and I honestly wouldn't care if I never saw some of them again.
The way to see by faith is to shut the eye of reason. This is tricky. On one hand, I know that a lot of people would believe that me seeing by faith would have caused me to shut the eye of reason; but the entire reason why I was lead into the faith I have now is because I actually could not shut the eye of reason inside of me. So it depends. Sometimes yes, only one eye can be open; but in rare cases, both eyes can be open.
Active evil is better than passive good. I agree to an extent. Both of these are just as bad, but I see passive good as being worse. It's the same as the quote, “Evil triumphs when good men do nothing.”
Alcohol is the anaesthesia by which we endure the operation of life. As someone who doesn't drink alcohol much, and can't seem to get more than buzzed when I actually do; I'm disagreeing with this quote.
Either you deal with what is the reality, or you can be sure that the reality is going to deal with you. I have to agree with this one. As much as I hate this type of quote, I see reality as something that either has to be dealt with, before it deals with you; because reality can be really unforgiving.
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. Disagree. I'm a pretty forgiving person, so I'd be more forgiving than vengeful.
You're either part of the solution or part of the problem. Disagree. Sometimes to be a part of the solution you have to be part of the problem.

Say we forget about the monsters and the murder, does a small and tight-knit community like Shepherd's Glen sound like a place you'd enjoy living in? No. See, I like being a loner, but I like being a loner in a place where the whole town wouldn't know me.
Say we pay attention to the monsters and the murder, would you be willing to play your part in the 'sacrifice one of your children to the Gods' game? Seeing as how I don't have children, and I don't want children would make the whole 'sacrifice' thing impossible. And even if I did, no, no I wouldn't, because I wouldn't be a part of that fucked up cult.
Decision time! Tell us about your in-game choices, that is to say shooting your mother, forgiving your father and saving Wheeler. What did and didn't you do, how did you decide and how long did it take you? I shot Lillian, because I knew what the machine was going to do, and death by bullet is far more merciful than death by...whatever the hell that thing was. I forgave Adam because I wanted the good ending, and I think at the time I saw Alex as forgiving his father. And I saved Wheeler, because how could I not?
Alright, can you perhaps imagine how those scenarios would look if they were real? Honestly, I could, if I really wanted to, but it's something that I don't want to imagine. Anyway, I believe that if I were in Alex's shoes, (but replace his parents with mine, and Wheeler with some other officer) I'd probably do the same thing that I had Alex do when playing the game.
By the way, one of your parents killed you. That wasn't a very nice thing to do, so let's confront them about it! Which symbolically significant object would remind them of their shameful deed? A Bible. Sounds weird, but I know it's the one object that would remind them of me.
Hey, I've got an idea! Let's turn into a monster, that'll teach them! So how would your tormented spirit look as a creature from Silent Hill? All the monsters represented things that the children loved. It's only natural then, that my monster form would represent something I loved. What's something I love? Music! But how do you even personify that? Well, my tormented spirit would likely represent some weird, fucked up looking stereo system, complete with fleshy appendages, wires, but sadly lacking the boobage of most of the other monsters. Not that this is a bad thing of course.
And what would be its theme music? Negura Bunget - Umbra - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LifUxRo03GM It has a haunting, sinister, and uptempo beat to it; perfect music to get my monster self killed by.

Do you like taking pictures?
Sometimes, when the mood strikes.
Please post a picture you've taken here and tell us something about it. If you don't take any pictures at all, just find us a random picture you enjoy.
Obviously not one of my own photos, but the album art was the first to come to mind. I kind of have a thing for red, white, and black together in art. It's just a touch more awesome when it's in a photograph though.
Apparently Silent Hill has a sidekick feature now. Well then, dear protagonist, who would you want as your Silent Hill Homecoming sidekick? Note that you may choose a person from your own life, no somebody famous or a fictional character, even from the SH series itself. Rant Casey. If you know who this character is, then you're awesome. I'd want him around because of his disturbingly strong sense of smell. He could take a whiff of the air, and figure out that there are two Siams around the corner, giving plenty of time to load the shot-guns.
Unfortunately, he'd probably be spending his time trying to get bitten by all the monsters...
Do you even want to be the protagonist or would you rather play sidekick? I'd rather be the protagonist, although I'm not sure why. Maybe it has something to do with the idea that I could go at it alone if I wanted to, but still find someone to be side-kick when I might need one.
What was your least favourite Silent Hill Homecoming ending? The Bogeyman ending. It just made absolutely no sense, was stupid, and depressing.
And to make up for it, what was your favourite alternative costume? Errr...the Bogeyman costume. I know I got done railing against the ending, but I find the costume to be both disturbing, and also kind of funny. What can I say, I have a morbid sense of humor.
Well, that's pretty much the end of it. As usual, please tell us which one Silent Hill Homecoming character you consider yourself least like and why that is. Oh hell, I'm going with Dr. Martin Fitch. He just comes off as extremely meek, stupid, stupidly devoted to one thing, and down-right psychotic with the whole cutting thing. I like the think that I am neither of those things.
Anything else you'd like to add? No
