Tortilla de patatas
I know, right! The graphics look very polished. Though I'm still worried about the story. I can relate to Heather and Henry, but this Murphy guy is apparently a convict and I'm not very fond of convicts.. =/ Hmm, I'm still kind of speculative, but he looks like a generic Chris Redfield hero. Though of course, I'm only judging this from very little information. I'm not worried too much about gameplay either, I mean thank God it's not a FPS. I'd be extremely disappointed if it was. Anyway I can't wait 'til Kingdom Hearts BBS and the 3rd Birthday. I recently got a PSP and I want them sooooooo badly! What E3 games are you looking forward to? Right now I'm also pondering whether or not I should get a 3DS. This year's E3 was pretty sweet. AlexShepherd 07:37, June 17, 2010 (UTC)

Main page stuff
Sure thing, mate. I think it's a great idea (though I use a 4:3 monitor so I won't see how it'll look). Do you know how to go about setting it widescreen since I don't? I'll also try to scan the fanart soon. I'm just really busy with school and stuff, and finals are coming up. Gah. Right now, I have a lot of homework to do. XD AlexShepherd 06:48, May 27, 2010 (UTC)

Wazzup
Glad to see you're alive! :) I missed your presence... were you on vacation or something? Tell me all about it.

Right now, I've been procrastinating my school homework this Easter weekend. (I'm totally enjoying it though.) AlexShepherd 11:15, April 6, 2010 (UTC)


 * That sounds really interesting. So you're going to your bro's wedding then? Does than mean you're gonna be a groomsmen then? What kind of art project is it? I love your art so I'd like to know what it's about. I've been doing some art lately too, one of which is a Silent Hill themed piece. I'll scan it to you when I get the chance, probably sometime next week. Also, remember that vandal guy? He was insulting Alessa like a month or two ago, but we nailed his ass and we haven't seen him since. It's good to hear from you Faded. ^^ AlexShepherd 11:53, April 7, 2010 (UTC)


 * Aww. That sucks big time. It's good to hear that you'll be honored in your absence though. Just curious, what company are you working for as a game tester? Rockstar Entertainment? I always wanted to be a video game tester, I mean, being paid to play video games? Sounds like a dream! What's it like for you? I'm also a fan of the Victorian and Steampunk genres. Black comedy is awesome too (So I was watching Monty Python and the Holy Grail the other day...) AlexShepherd 04:01, April 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * Also, have you played Shattered Memories yet? It's a great game. AlexShepherd 04:04, April 8, 2010 (UTC)


 * You're welcome. =) I've been doing a fair amount of Photoshop actually lately. If you look at Cheryl Heather Mason's page, I also photoshopped her profile picture. I'm currently enrolled in Graphic Arts at my high school, so I've learning about the Elements of Art, Principles of Design, Photography, some Photoshop, etc. I'm sure you took Art and Graphic Arts when you were in high school, eh?

New game
I'm pretty excited about it! Though I'm also worried that Vatra Games has little to no experience with series. Hell, they might even look at the movie for information and do a rehash of it somehow like Double Helix did. It's also SH2 we're talking about here which is a masterpiece in my book. That's a pretty big title to live up to! When you think about it, the series has gone from Japan to America to Europe (the Czech Republic apparently). I wish we had Japanese developers again, though it seems impossible now... =( I don't see why Konami can't just hand the series over to Kojima Productions rather than a company that nobody knows about. It seems risky because Silent Hill is about emotion and not just gore and scares and unfortunately, some people don't really understand that. AlexShepherd 06:01, April 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * Like I said on SHH, I don't really care who makes it as long as it's good. Since we know next to nothing about this new company, I'd hold my worries until we start to see videos or pics.  AlessaGillespie  Talk   Contributions  06:05, April 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't know, I still have doubts about the game. I'm stereotypical in the way that I think that if a video game is in the hands of Japanese developers, then it's an automatic win. Great horror franchises such as Biohazard, Silent Hill, Zero, Parasite Eve, Clock Tower and Demento all come from Japan. You don't really see non-Japanese horror franchises of such quality, except maybe Left 4 Dead by Valve and Eternal Darkness by Silicon Knights (Canadian! Woot.) Silent Hill is Japanese horror and I think it's almost impossible for non-Japanese developers to reproduce this type of horror.


 * But aside from the Japanese aspect, putting Silent Hill in the hands of a new developer that hasn't released a single video game seems very risky. We have no idea if they'll be able to produce a Silent Hill game that feels like the first 4 games in the franchise. So I went on Vatra Games' site and the people listed are from "2K Czech" which developed games I've never heard of such as "Hidden & Dangerous" and "Vietcong" - war games. War games =/= horror games. Yeah, I have a feeling that Vatra will screw over Silent Hill 2. >_> I'm kind of pissed off why Konami would do this to fans and not give Silent Hill to developers such as Kojima who have proven to create amazing games i.e. Metal Gear Solid series. I have a feeling this new game will bomb... AlexShepherd 10:18, April 10, 2010 (UTC)


 * I made a collage to illustrate this. Silent Hill is being produced by Vatra. The game will probably look like this. *sigh* =/ AlexShepherd 10:56, April 10, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yeah, you're right, we should wait it out until E3. I can't help but feel excited, worried and a little frustrated. Also, that's a pretty accurate Harry sim! Have you ever played Haunting Ground? It's a pretty damn good horror game. If not, get it ASAP! AlexShepherd 16:00, April 10, 2010 (UTC)

wiki and imdb says heather morris is the voice actor

Heh, Yeah
True, true

That's why i wish the creators would release info (FAQ) on twitter or facebook TheCharlesDude 23:05, May 9, 2010 (UTC)

New Silent Hill Game
Czech studio and Vatra Games announced in April 2010 that they are making a new Silent Hill game.

Now they just announced it so their is like 0% information on it. I am wondering what it is going to be about

A guy in 'Wikianswers' asked if their going to make a Silent Hill 2 'Re-imagine possibly!

Whatever it is, it hope it's creative. I mean my opinion is that i think Silent Hill: Homecoming was abit crappy. I personally didn't like it.

The enemies were abit too hard.

Heh, anyways they are ALSO planning a silent hill 2. Not sure if it's in production as we speak, maybe not.

Wonder if the second will have James Sunderland? or Henry? No telling really, the changed 1st movie, from being Harry Mason to Rose... TheCharlesDude 23:12, May 9, 2010 (UTC)

James Sunderland Status
I was looking at James Sunderlands status and it says unknown

Now i watched a walkthrough on it, and their is actually 2 endings. The other one i am not sure of, but one *Spoilers!* kills mary's shadow form then walks away with Laura.

Now the other ending i am not sure of, i believe he actually gets killed, i will research on that though.. TheCharlesDude 17:46, May 10, 2010 (UTC)

oh ok hehe thanks

I saw that in the new game that the characters name is Ashmond, which people debate that its close to Ashfield or its close to a place where Henry Townshend, i guess, born from?

Silent Hill 3
Yay just got it

lol but I keep bumping into things :( TheCharlesDude 02:12, May 15, 2010 (UTC)

SH8
Moved SH6 to 8 since it was announced as the working title (does that number make any sense to you?), but the categories can't be moved, so I deleted and remade them. For some reason, it won't let me add SH8 character category to Murphy's page, but it won't let me readd the 6 category either, so I'm assuming it's an issue with my computer. :/  AlessaGillespie  Talk   Contributions  13:32, June 17, 2010 (UTC)

Heys
I love you too, Faded. No homo.

I swear, some people can't grow up, even past the age of 21! >_> I mean, come on, harassing people on an online encyclopedia for over a year. Someone hasn't gotten a life yet... I've grown used to it so it's no problem for me anyway. Also, I created a deviantart account and added you. Check out my Heather piece and tell me what you think. :) 06:07, July 29, 2010 (UTC)

I think he was talking about the girl that got mad at you for deleting the Jacob's Ladder page.  AlessaGillespie  Talk   Contributions  06:43, July 29, 2010 (UTC)


 * Oh yeah, I see now. I completely forgot about the Jacob's Ladder stuff when I was dealing with some other lame things. 07:07, July 29, 2010 (UTC)

Regarding my login trouble
I have had issues with yahoo and currently cannot login to my old account. I created this new account because I wanted to continue to be apart of the wikia. Is there any way you could reset my X♛ΩHeatherMasonΩ♛X account password and send it to the new e-mail I created. I know this seems a bit to ask and I understand if you can't help. Though this whole yahoo situation has been more than upsetting and I just want my old account back. Also if this helps with any verification, you will notice both this account and X♛ΩHeatherMasonΩ♛X are registered to the birth date July 26th 1991. Please if you can help my heart would feel so much relief.

Off hiatus :P
I'm here, after a long computer move (one that has more than 500MB of RAM... sweet!) and bouts of life drama.

I'll help explain the situation. In a nutshell, the Wikia admins have decided to force a mandatory skin upon every Wiki. Ironically, Wikia calls itself a "community website" and like 95% of Wikians are against the skin. So much for calling yourself a community website when you don't listen to the actual community. >_>

Because of the skin, tons of Wikis and members are leaving Wikia; people complain of the fixed width, increased ads, this photo attribution thing which if you disable, could get you into loads of trouble. Some people, like me, get headaches and migraines on the new skin. I personally think Wikia is trying to make pages look as long as possible, like a blog or twitter site. You can look up something called "Anti Wikia Alliance"

One thing very, very, very, very, very, sucky about the new skin is that Era icons don't work! Which means all your hard work on the icons has been lost. :(

I was thinking about moving Wiki... but honestly, I think we have no choice in the matter. My worries are that all of our traffic will be lost in the process, and Wikia will hold our contributions, information, and articles hostage.

What I want to do now is get everything working on Monobook. I can't get the Era icons to work on Monobook, but I'm pretty sure it's possible. On "Oasis" (aka, crappy mandatory skin), I also want to try to make it as less eye gauging as possible. Poor Angela will have to be removed as well... she gets abused in her childhood, possibly kills herself because she can't cope with her guilt, and to beat a dead horse, gets butchered by a fugly skin. 02:33, October 23, 2010 (UTC)


 * Darn Faded, 2 months off work? I'm SO jealous. :P If I were you, I would stock up on piña coladas. I don't think there's much we can do about moving to be honest. As I said before, if we did move, Wikia would hold our information hostage. The only thing we can do right now is move the wiki through the ʎddɐɹɔ skin change. If you can get the era icons working on Monobook, I'd be totally impressed. To get started on the change, I removed Angela because the light foreground on dark background makes it look like you're looking at a TV inside a TV (which to me means a headache), so I'll replace it with a lighter background. I'll also get started on the sidebar... err.. I topbar? 03:12, October 23, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yep, it works... I was using Resident Evil Wiki as a guide. It also seems to work on Monobook too, so yay. :D I don't know how to solve the overlapping issue, but if you noticed, check out James and Mary's page. It overlaps on James but not Mary's. I figure it has something to with her infobox template being lowered. Gimme a sec and I'll try to put something into all character infoboxes so that they're lower. 01:11, October 24, 2010 (UTC)


 * Some good news, kinda. I made a temporary fix to infobox templates by inserting

-
 * to the top of the template. The overlapping is also on RE Wiki too. Check out Albert Wesker's page.. you can't even see his name. What the fix does is lower the infobox, making it so that they aren't overlapping as much. I don't think there's anything we can do to text/image/video overlapping, only infobox overlapping. =/ 01:34, October 24, 2010 (UTC)

Hey
Man, I missed you. I can't believe you're on your break already... time flies! It feels like yesterday that I was forcing trick-or-treaters to sing songs for me.

Not much has been happening on the wiki lately. I don't know, it seems like ever since Oasis came, there's been less chat and editing going on. Wikia has apparently removed both Monaco AND Monobook so all wikis are stuck with it.... lovely.

Remember how you told me that the new skin was awful? Try copying and pasting this code into your Wikia.css:
 * http://silenthill.wikia.com/wiki/User:AlexShepherd/wikia.css

(replace my username with Faded-Myth, save then refresh) This should get rid of the fixed width and all that other unnecessary crap. =]

On the topic of era icons, somehow it went from an "overlapping" problem to a "not displaying at all" problem. I've tried everything and felt like ripping my head out. Resident evil Wiki has era icons (but they overlap), whereas Kingdom Hearts wiki and Star Wars wiki have era icons that don't overlap. I tried looking at their codes and copying them over, but I still can't pinpoint the problem. I also noticed Shemnue wiki's era icons aren't displaying either. Common problem? Do you think you can help?

Also, SONIC COLORS COMES OUT IN 2 DAYS. It's apparently the best 3D Sonic since Sonic Adventure. Check it out. 01:32, November 15, 2010 (UTC)


 * To change the background image, go to "My Tools" (at the bottom), then Theme Designer. The background image is also known as the "graphic". I don't think we even can change the skin to Monobook, I think it's permanently on Oasis. >_< What design changes do you have in mind? I'm a lil worried that it will clash with the foggy blue theme. 04:42, November 28, 2010 (UTC)


 * Ooohh wait... nevermind... I see the option to change to Monobook now. Haven't checked my Preferences in while. I think the last time I checked, it wasn't there. On the plus side, ERA ICONS ARE FINALLY WORKING, thanks to Brandon Rhea. They look pretty nice too, and even show up in Preview mode! So yay! Have you got the theme designer working? I think directly replacing the File:Wiki background doesn't work and you have to do it through the theme designer. 07:15, November 28, 2010 (UTC)


 * Also, you can find the solution to the era icons not displaying on my talk page. When you have the chance, you could do the same for the Shemnue wiki, and maybe add a nice theme to it using the Theme Designer. Maybe a green background with red buttons? 07:20, November 28, 2010 (UTC)


 * I'm getting black bars on both sides too. Just added you on MSN [post_grant@hotmail.com] so come on now! 22:44, November 28, 2010 (UTC)

background
It's nice and I like how the background stays in place. The only thing I don't like is that there's now a big black space to the right of my screen (my monitor is 1280x1024 on a 19" non-widescreen). Is there anyway to move James closer to Heather? Here's what it looks like I'd love to be an admin at Shemnue Wiki too. I used to own a Dreamcast and Shemnue (never got too far in it though). I have a Dreamcast emulator, and I can always download the game later. :P  21:53, November 28, 2010 (UTC)


 * Okay... it looks like this now, but now it doesn't stay in place when I scroll down. 22:14, November 28, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hmm... maybe the fixed scrolling caused the black space on the right on my computer? You can enable/disable the fixed scrolling on the Wikia.css, right? Also, are you using Rich Text Editing? I don't and I'm not seeing any side effects. Also, now I can see Heather's face now, instead of an upskirt. :P 22:32, November 28, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Background scrolling
Is it still happening? I'm not seeing it in the editing screen. Was it using the Theme Designer or just hard coding an image? The Star Wars Fanon coding shouldn't be doing that. - Brandon Rhea (talk) 22:38, November 28, 2010 (UTC)


 * Well I'm not seeing it in the editing screen so, unless other people are, it should be fine. Also, whether people see black bars or not would depend on their screen resolution. There's not much you can do about that. That said, one reason for black bars could also be that you have much more content on the right side of your background image than your left side (with the black space for content being the "center"). Larger screens may see the image on the right side, but not the left. - Brandon Rhea (talk) 01:57, November 29, 2010 (UTC)

Shemnue Wiki
No prob. I'm registered on it, same name and all. Merry Christmas to you too! When can you go on MSN? Maybe you've been pretty busy lately. I miss talking to you. :( 22:25, December 26, 2010 (UTC)

Scans
It's totally allowed. I think they're already available though. Check out these: http://www.silenthillmemories.net/sh8/screenshots_en.htm AlexShepherd 21:56, February 4, 2011 (UTC)

Roar
You, good sir, need to go on MSN more. ;p It's alright. Whenever you go AWOL you always come apologize to me. It's good to take a break every now and then. There's a lot more Silent Hill news coming out. I can't wait for the Sounds Box myself. Jillian is anticipating the movie, and Downpour is looking fine so far. — Alex Shepherd   ツ  03:38, March 14, 2011 (UTC)
