Maria's ... dead again. Dude. Really. Why do I keep reliving her death. This is some messed up psychological crap for James.
Anyway, this section was pretty cool and complicated. Totally used a guide. Would have taken me forever. I'm starting to notice that sometimes, I'll try investigating something only to have it not register, so I won't think that wall or bookcase or whatever is worthwhile, and then I'll later find out there was a key there or statue or whatever that I needed. Registration is a little weird and annoying. Without guide, I'd have no hair here.
Also, the fact that I can reload in the menu is total hax and makes these guns overpowered. Actually, as a whole, this game is pretty easy. I've only died once thus far (accidentally got smacked by Pyramid Head's 1HKO in the apartments) and other than that, the atmosphere is a lot scarier than the game is hard.
Wait, what. Why is a door eating my head. And why is Angela calling the door a parent? The ****?
Anyway, this fight was pretty easy. A few shotgun blasts and it was dead. I mean, I got a hit a couple times, but I have like... 18 first aid kits and 20 health drinks or some ridiculous amount. I have 230 handgun bullets, 180 shotgun shells, and like 50 rifle bullets, dur hurr, for a gun I just got somewhere down here. This game is tooo easy.
DUDE PYRAMID HEAD STAY AWAY FROM ME IN THESE WATER CHANNELS.
Can I buster sword you...?
I'm afraid to try.
A corpse puzzle thing. This one was pretty easy to solve, actually. Got a key of the persecuted, time to go use it!
And now Eddy (oh my bad, it's Eddie) wants a piece of me. Dude, really? I have a shotgu
ow.
That handgun shot HURTS. Wow. Okay, I'm glad I have health items. Got a couple shotgun blasts in, and then I tried my buster sword.
FINISH HIM!
HA! Got you. Now he's running away like a little *****. I get some ammo on the ground and go after him, and now he's, like, way psycho. Maybe it's the pressure from the earth, i mean, we've got to be a few miles down or some crap. Messin' with his brain~
Anyway, this fight was pretty easy. At least he ran after me and was actually about as fast as I was (unlike every other boss thus far), but ultimately, it took like 6 or 7 shells to down him from my shotgun. Then James has a big ol' emotional moment about killing a human. Man, I don't think Eddie was a human, I think he was a figment of my imagination or something, because I still think James is wacky himself. But to even imagine up something as "off" as Eddie is a special, special thing.
... And I'm on ground level? Is the southern part of Silent Hill on an enormous mountain, or something? Time to row across this lake and go toward this bright light in the distance. Wait, am I rowing the right way? I can't tell! Okay, wait, the light is getting higher. That's good. I'm doing it right. Proceed.
