My favorite group of nerds are doing an LP of the greatest version of the greatest horror game ever. Yup, fuck the HD Collection.
Video Games Awesome! is an online show centered around five friends who sit on (and behind) a couch and play video games, offering their opinions, cracking jokes, and sometimes just hanging out. They're really fun to watch and I would highly recommend checking them out. Anyway, they did an LP of Silent Hill 2 and... they weren't really good at it and spent a lot of time mocking it. I honestly really hate their LP of it.
Yeah, if you do check them out don't bother watching that LP. I would recommend their look into Dead Island, though. That's what got me into watching them and it extremely funny to watch.
I really want to see Mat and Pat do an LP for Silent Hills. Funny story about how I came to watch the trailer for Silent Hills: Me and my buddy were visiting a friend who lives forever and a day away. We'll call the one who was with me Adam and the other Brian. Anyway, Brian was messing around on his XBox and I happened to notice he had Slender 2. I'd never actually seen gameplay of Slender 2 at that point and mentioned it to him, "Oh, you have Slender?" He was like, "Yeah I've only played it one time." I asked him why he had only played it one time if he went through the trouble of buying it. He said, "Well it was only five bucks on Live. You ever played Slender?" I proceeded to tell him no and at this point Adam is in the process of a facepalm. Brian said, "You wanna watch me play it?" "Sure," I said, not knowing the events about to ensue. So he starts playing it and a few minutes into the game I notice the glare from his light is blocking my view of the screen. I mentioned it and he told me how I had kind of the worst spot on the couch for viewing. He told me I could turn off the lights if I wanted and Adam was, at this point, full facepalm pose. I asked him what was wrong and Brian informed me of how Adam was terrified of Slender. I was left with no other option so I proceeded to turn off the light. We go through the game and jump scares were abundant. Throughout the entire time he was playing we saw Slenderman everywhere but he was not an imminent threat. The game ended by Brian going to the front of the house and viewing a poster, one which we had already seen, on one of the trees. Slender Man immediately attacked and everybody jumped. So we gave up on Slender. Brian was conversing with Adam and the only thing I caught was, "You really think we should?" I asked what they were talking about and Brian asked me if I had ever seen the Silent Hills trailer. I told him that I had not as I really don't pay attention to game releases until someone informs me. So he throws on the IGN Gameplay trailer and the room is still pitch black. I had no idea of what was about to happen. Needless to say, my pants were thoroughly soiled. The only reason I want Mat and Pat to do an LP for it is so I can watch it without having a heart attack. Those guys are incredibly funny and overall enjoyable, save for a certain Walking Dead Season 2 LP. TL;DR Mat and Pat make scary games enjoyable to watch and still be the right level of scary. ~Nights
