Edit: Resolved, thanks!


Okay, this may seem like a bit of an odd question...

My sister and I both like to keep up with Yahtzee's reviews. My sister, however, has some anxiety issues and sometimes gets severe panic attacks.

According to her, there is a Zero Punctuation review in the archives which contains a brief flash of a painting called [a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hands_Resist_Him"]"The Hands Resist Him"[/a] by Bill Stoneham. I vaguely recall seeing it before, but it made nothing but a mildly creepy impression on me; my sister, however, tells me that it REALLY freaks her out. She'd like to re-watch the ZP archives, but she's scared to because she's terrified of running across the video containing this image.

Unfortunately, she CANNOT remember which game it was! She says that she thinks she remembers Yahtzee saying the word "unusual" over the image, like he was saying that the game was/wasn't usual. Yeah, I know that hardly narrows it down.

Does anyone know, or have any guesses as to which review it is? I'd like to be able to tell her which video to avoid; but, given my schedule, it would probably be months before I could re-watch enough of his reviews to find it.

Thanks for any help identifying this video!

No idea, honestly.

But from the painting, I'd wager a guess it was one of the Silent Hill videos? Try watching the "scary game" genre videos for her to see if it's one of them.

Second thought: Or maybe the BioShock videos.

It could be Burnout possibly, if he's talking about how unusual it is for the cars to be operating independently from human operators. Otherwise I can't remember though other from that. Wish I could be of more help. I suggest going through the archives on your own though.

I actually have no idea what you're talking about. I don't remember that ever being used in his videos at all... Perhaps it's been too long.

100% sure it's the first Crysis review, just checked.
If you want to know, it's only on screen very briefly, around 1.15-1.25 minutes in; maybe your sister could just skip it =]

Got it in one! Thank you so much.


Edit: Wow, you guys are fast. I just got back from checking the video myself.

I don't think she can skip it, she couldn't even look at the screen when she realized I was Googling it to see what the painting looked like. But at least she can watch the rest of the archives now, awesome.

That's the one. Here's a screen of it. (Spoilered just in case it creeps you out)

Conversation with my sister just now:

ME: *knocks on her door* Okay, it's the first Crysis review.

HER: *surprised pause* Someone replied that fast? Wow, maybe they had the same problem.

ME: Actually, I think it was more like 6 or so people replied that fast.

HER: ...Maybe they ALL had the same problem?

ME: With a screencap?

HER: OH MY GOD.

What the fuck? The guy who knew the answer got a warning for it because it was too short? That's jut dumb it was too easy and convenient for me to read so we're going to warn you to make things more complicated and drawn out in the future.

At least they're consistent.

And besides, he could have included pertinent details such as "It happens at about the 1:25 mark in the Crysis review". That would have avoided a warning and have been more helpful.

Or he could have done nothing at all and that would have been even less of a help he also may not have a time line of the video on memory and consistently enforcing a rule doesn't make it any better the Escapist isn't a government the rules are supposed to create a better environment for the posters and his post wasn't exactly doing any harm.
