Silent Hill 3

I did five to six more hours of work with Movable Type today, and I think the site is now about 99% ready to go. It's quite exciting. In celebration I decided to start on Silent Hill 3.

This was a bad idea.

Also, milon convincing me to play it using my new speakers and subwoofer, and turning out all the lights. Those were also bad ideas. Bad, bad, bad, bad.

So, I am happy to say that I am already enjoying Silent Hill 3 immensely more than 2. I think I may have spoiled the SH2 experience by playing it in my well-lit dorm room, probably with Tobin typing away at something in the background. I also started it on easy mode, figuring that by the time I had beat it several times (each time graduating to the next level), I would have a great big pickup modifier and enough bullets to blast away any nursemonsters that looked at me the wrong way. On the other hand, I'm starting the third installment on hard combat difficulty, and it's been terrifying. Even those mummified, fork-faced dogs mean business.

I played about half an hour before having to turn it off. I'm looking forward to returning, but for now I think I'm going to go cry under the covers.
