I Don't Really Like Bass Bottles....

I'm pretty sure I got the last copy of Silent Hill 4: The Room available in town. I guess in the two weeks since Origins was released for PS2, it's become a rare and hard to find game. I figured I'd just pop into Hasting's and grab it while I had the money... Since I see it all the time for $16. HA! They didn't even have it to rent - all copies were out.

Gamestop had one used copy. No book, no box, nothing. Just a generic slipcase. And it's already doubled in price. But it's mine! And I shall beat it!

We played and beat Silent Hill 2 today, took 5 hours altogether, got the Maria ending like we'd been shooting for. Also poked around at various easter eggs and extras, and got an 8 out of 10 for ranking. Then we watched trailers for both Origins and SH 5: No Escape. Now we've got Shadow of Colossus in, and it's a beautiful game. Majestic, is the word that came to mind when I saw the opening sequence. The movement animation is also extremely impressive. I can definitely see why this game is used as an argument for video games being a valid artistic medium.

We've got munchies, drinks, video games and anime. Pretty much the best way to spend a weekend with a friend.

It's a Pelican. Never had a problem with it until now. And such a random problem.... Sadly, it was all I could afford when my controller went south. But now [livejournal.com profile] nijawial's controller has come to the rescue! Huzzah!
