Yeah, an exploading Freud would be cool. Sounds like it should be a boss in some sorrt of spoof horror game.prettyinmagenta said:lol..well..honestly I haven't played Silent Hill because i'm scared it'll make me unable to sleep for months...I just saw the rape scene because my ex was playing it when i walked into his dorm one day and he wouldn't turn it off when i asked him too (such a sweetie lol)...but from what I've read about the game that all sounds interesting...and i'd LOVE to see Freud explode..in a non-sexual way of courseannoyinglizardvoice said:Bits of it. It was a few years ago and he wasn't at his most coherant.prettyinmagenta said:i would love to hear that rant...do you remember it?annoyinglizardvoice said:For once I'll have to agree with the masses.
Pyramid Head all the way (particularly after a drunken psycology student has ranted to you about what Freud would think of the SH games)
The bit that stuck in my mind the most was all the various bits of phalic symbolism connected to PH and how it related to James' sexual and emotional frustration.
He pointed out that there were a few spots in 3 where the combination of blood/flesh on the walls, weird lighting and/or moving/undulating bits of wall gave the impression of being inside a big malformed womb, linking into the unwanted pregancy metaphors of the game. Haven't played enough 3 to know which bits he was talking about.
He didn't have much to say about 1, and 4 had only just came out at the time.
A lot of it was the standard symbolism stuff, but with why Freud would agree, disagree, approve or explode.
SH2 (the one with Pyramid Head) creeped out even me.
4 wasn't so bad apart from the uselessness of the hero. If my room got trapped in a serial killer's nightmares, I'd be much better prepared.
