well that's good to know
Mar. 29th, 2004 12:10 amI bought Silent Hill 3 last week. It was $20 used at Blockbuster and I couldn't resist, even though those games scare the bejeezus outta me. Case in point, I was just playing a few minutes ago, and I was in this creepy room full of mannequin bodies....most of them without heads. Now, mannequins without heads in the dark is freaky enough, but just to top it off, there is one at the end of the hall that has it's head attached and when the girl looks at it she thinks "it's like the others without heads can see me too". I think "oh great, lets just make sure there is nothing important in this room and get the hell out". So I walk around and see some bullets, I start walking towards them and something SCREAMS! In my total panic, I toss my controller forward, hitting the pause button and, accidentally, hitting the "select" button as well. I wasn't aware of this, but if you hit pause and select at the same time, the game resets.
Ah well, good to know.
Now I have to work up the guts to go *back* to the mannequin room again. Yuck.
On a slightly crabby note, I watched my "Last Unicorn" DVD last week and let me just say it is the CRAPPIEST transfer I have ever seen. I think if I went to my folks and dug through our Beta tapes, I would see a better copy. It's not even widescreen, come on! And they got the pan part down, but they never bother to scan, so it's just crap. They used the wrong soundtrack too, with Mia Farrow attempting to sing, which is just painful. And I think scenes are missing. There are about 3 different versions of the film, because the European release had extra bits for some reason and the American release was constantly being cut down. *sigh*. The sad part is that I downloaded the German DVD rip about a month before they announced the US DVD release. Thinking that the rip and the release would be the same, I deleted the download after watching only a few minutes of it's crystal clear AND widescreen presentation. What the crap. I think I'm going to write Artisan or whoever put the dvd out and tell them they are bad people for not at least checking to see how the DVD looked before releasing it.
I'm babysitting tomorrow for Alex and Monica. Actually, Monica just wants a chance to clean her house up, so I said I'd occupy the kids while she did that. Snowie first then Skylor. Hopefully it will be warm enough to go to the park, I could use a day in the park. The weather can't make up it's mind.
Okay, I need to get myself to bed since I'm supposed to be over there by 9:45am! Yikes!
