  • Gamers: Wanting To Eat Crow About Having Their Cake

    There’s a fascinating phenomenon observed in Lacanian psychoanalysis which showcases that human beings do not want what they actually think they want, causing themselves massive grief in the process. Time makes wise fools of us all Before I further expound about the proposition I just opened with, I did want to say that the Words… Read more

  • The Blood Curdling Reality Of Your Bank Account Balance

    Halloween has a lot to compete with these days in the fear factor department, when the every day is already filled to the brim with horrendously terrifying elements to contend with. The Nope Factor is strong no matter where one looks Kind of following on the heels of my post from yesterday, which unintentionally ended… Read more

  • Stranded At The Station of Indecision

    Given the state of the world as it stands, the only thing I can think of more terrifying than this year ending is next year beginning. The horrendous and the terrifying don’t end just because Halloween does I currently reside at a crossroads of sorts, though now that I’m more thoroughly considering my situation, I… Read more

  • The Existential Joy Of Self-Negation Through Mastery

    The irony of the ‘Spoopy season is that it is always over compensating with fear and dread, as the average person deals with something much scarier than whatever Halloween can throw at us. I.E. the scariest thing that can be thrown at us is…us, point in fact Gonna have to be a quick one today,… Read more

  • Theory Vs Execution: Agonizing Intent

    There’s something to be said about the satisfaction that comes with “flipping the script”, and turning a situation on its head. What the monsters in Silent Hill look like when they realize I’m not going home until I pay every single one of them back in full for my first visit Most of the time,… Read more

  • A Chainsaw By Any Other Name

    Always important to keep in mind we do the best with what we have… …even if the battle is ultimately futile I was about to remark “now with Silent Hill in my rear view mirror”, in an effort of a more poetic, flourishing segwaying moment of punctuation and finality after my completion of the Silent… Read more

  • Silent Hill 2 Remake: Occult Opulence

    Let it not be said that life has a cruel sense of humor… Even the act of charity can act as a grim omen of the turning of tides in ones immediate future Yesterday was a rare moment in the style of mania, not a mode of experience I am necessarily alien to, but one… Read more

  • Like Squeezing Blood From A Rock

    Sometimes, the sweet treat we thought we had, reveals itself to contain horror beyond imagination. This is most certainly not what mamma told me life was going to be like *clap, clap, clap, clap* In my obsession to breakdown and analyze just about every aspect of reality, I resist airing on the side of coincidence.… Read more

  • The Subtle Romance Of A Knife’s Edge

    Rolling with the punches is a lot more difficult when the boxing match never seemingly ends. Gotta utilize that big brain energy to make it through those more trying times of need This mood that haunts me will not abate, and as a result, I am in more ways paralyzed than I care to admit.… Read more

  • The Enriching Value Of Emotional Bankruptcy

    Sometimes, things don’t go according to plan. “Don’t Panic” becomes an essential turn of phrase in these moments A sneaking suspicion remained within me, that breaking up a playthrough of a survival horror game into an extraordinarily segmented episodic fashion may have the unfortunate side-effect of watering down what already is an experience that takes… Read more

  • Silent Hill: The Reflection Of The Darkness They Desired to Capture

    Having recently enjoyed exposure to the notion “embarrassment is an under explored emotion”, I pass the consideration along to you with the desire it may prompt some well needed self-reflection on the matter. Cringe in this instance represents the cruel and the cowardly My days of the week have grown to be characteristically repetitious in… Read more

  • Silent Hill: Analyzing Metaphysically Encoded Identity Issues

    Among the many horrors I continue to confront during ‘spoopy season, one of the greatest of the bunch is low key just how fast the passage of time seems to be moving to me now a days. Is this somehow Covid’s fault on some level? Let’s just blame Covid and call it a day One… Read more

  • Thy Flesh Consumed

    Nothing like a little R&R during the spoopy season to put one at ease. R&R standing for Rancid & Revolting in this example Just some quick thoughts today, as it is one of those moments where I do not have many to spare. I think one of the hurt/heals of having lived within the realm… Read more

  • Trauma Informed Self-Loathing

    It’s crazy how much our perceptions help to shape the reality that surrounds us. One couple’s would be date night is another persons unfortunate demise Following on the theme of my article from yesterday, I seem to be having a bit of trouble finding my footing this ‘spoopy season, in that both my ongoing playthrough… Read more

  • The Fingerfeeling Texture Of Fear

    Spoopy season has a lot of proper competition this year in having to up its game to be recognized as a legitimate threat in a crowded field of contenders. The United States of Absolutely Horrifying I’ve now become accustomed to what has come to be deemed the “Saturday Sorrows”, as every passing week has the… Read more

  • Speedrunning Nostalgia: Silent Hill 4 Zigged When Resident Evil 4 Zagged

    It almost seems redundant to be excited for October and Halloween to arrive in bringing the seasonal scaries with them, considering how positively horrifying the everyday happens to be as of late. R.I.P anxiety sufferers Yesterday’s post was an attempt at being more reminiscent about a subject that I’m similar parts excited to discuss as… Read more

  • The Thing That Is Not There: Survival Horror’s Je Ne Sais Quoi

    When the everyday is downright horrifying, it can really take the wind out of the sails of what October is suppose to have on offer. I want to be able to have the option to turn on and enjoy a horror movie, not feel like I’m perpetually stuck in one While I attempt to frame… Read more

  • Compare The Scares: Resident Evil vs Silent Hill

    I hate those days when you just can’t decide on what seems like the better choice. Decisions, decisions…. Today is that kind of day for, and quite honestly, a day that has no shortage of bad energy, truth be told. As a result, I’m not feeling terribly inspired to write. though I’ve mentioned in the… Read more

  • Silent Hill: The Methodology Of Fear

    Fear means a lot of different things to a lot of different people. For some, the anxiety that comes with interacting with anyone else is fear incarnate My long awaited return to Silent Hill has unfortunately not been quite as grand of an occurence as I would hope that it would be, for a multitude… Read more

  • Silent Hill: The Kojima Factor

    I advocate it’s important not to beat yourself up when you find yourself struggling, and to accept that sometimes, doing our best does not look all that great, but it is the best we’ve got at the moment. Quality is all very relative, you see I really gotta just start penning into my schedule: Saturday… Read more

  • Silent Hill: The Grim Reality of Blood Soaked Shades

    One person’s fond memory is another person’s trauma response. Like a first date at a Waffle House, for example I was struck with quite a queer feeling when deciding how to begin opening up my address of the Silent Hill 2 Remake (SH2R), as even though this is my first time playing through the remake… Read more

  • The Road map To Hell

    Even when things get tough, I am a big advocate for a staunch sense of stoicism to keep one sturdy. Even if the masking process can feel herculean at times I’ve mentioned before about how hard I’m hit with the post-game completion blues, where one is feeling low energy and depleted after finishing a game.… Read more

  • Welcome To Nope City

    When the witching hour approaches, it is appropriate to slip into something a little more…horrifyingly gruesome for the occasion. October always gets me all kinds of hot and bothered… Yesterday was more of a pop-in, just a little hi hello in a moment of respite, after a tremendous amount of energy expended on what ended… Read more

  • ‘Tis The Season To Be Spoopy…

    While I am a big proponent of critical thinking and engaging in the abstract, I’m also a strong advocate of partaking in intense amounts of silliness from time to time. Chase that big Scully energy, y’all September is just about over, and not a moment too soon, as like many, Spooptober is always a delight… Read more
