Hey, what's up? A pointless question considering I probably can't answer you through the screen. Regardless, hello and welcome.

I have been an avid follower of the Silent Hill series since the very first game first found its way into my house. I've yet to decide whether that was a blessing or a curse. Silent Hill at the time was the only game capable of sending me running, screaming, from my bedroom, even while playing it in broad daylight. The game is powerful, and utterly warped me into an entirely new person than what I was before. I thought I was 'ballsy' before I made friends with Harry Mason. Before I set out on that quest with him to help him find his lost daughter, I might have even fancied myself brave.

I couldn't have been more wrong.

The game has changed me on a psychological level. Merely hearing static - 'white noise - is now enough to put me on edge and make me tense. God forbid the local air raid siren goes off during destructive weather.

Fuck tornados, the Otherworld is coming.

I have learned to question what is and is not perverse, destructive and terrifying on a level most others nver think about. That pure white light bulb sitting in a black base in my curio cabinet? I take it out most of the time because it looks like an eye to me now. A blind, lifeless eye that I feel is always watching me.

THAT'S A GREAT BIG BOX OF HONEY BUNCHES OF NOPE!!

I used to be normal.

Silent Hill changed all of that.

There's something about child sacrifice, cults, darkness and aliens that just makes my blood run cold..
