[@matrix3509]

"How does a stomp do more than a 2X4 to the head?" Woolie is clearly unfamiliar with the deep lore of James Sunderland being the ancestor of Isaac Clarke.

[@redaffix7320]

Isaac's boots are actually using gravity to propel him away from the surface he's standing on, so he doesn't destroy all surfaces with his incredible calves. James doesn't have that tech, so he just has to rely self-restraint and comfy shoes. But, when he gets a steppin', bitches be poppin'.

[@Postaldude__]

Not to be that guy but that still kinda applies in real life. Imagine, if you will: a guy about James’ size and combat experience is going to hit you while you are on the floor. Would you rather: A. Have him awkwardly swing down a 2x4 on you with his arm strength only, probably more so hitting your torso than your head B. Have him stomp his full weight down on your head on the concrete I’d probably go for A. Like damn, man. You ever see American History X?

[@Sprech41]

something later incarnations of Pyramid Head never replicate is just how 'alien' he is in this game. The way he moves, the things he does, it ain't natural! Other media always makes him way too badass.

[@Abdega]

Meanwhile his sister Triangle Girl is _ALL_ natural ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[@loadeddice4696]

@@Abdega She gives the WORST head!

[@foottothenuts]

Because all the media he's shown up in outside of Silent Hill 2 has been garbage made by stupid Westerners who mistakenly think he's supposed to be a bad ass hulking Jason Vorhees character.

Yeah, the way he moves in "that" cutscene is so unsettling

[@vahlok1426]

Because PH only exists in Silent Hill 2. Let those pretender "Boogeymen" be, because they're poor imitations of the original.

"It's just you, despite of everything." Applying that reference in this context is... Hahaha... Yeah, James. Nothing will ever change what you are.

I like how the exact same wording that's so wholesome in one game could be so horrifying in another.

[@FightCain]

There was a joke about the Woolie Hole, here…. It’s gone now…

[@SpillyoftheLabyrinth]

Fun fact: If you have Silent Hill 2 save data when playing Silent Hill 3, Heather will call you out for being gross if you try to get her to reach into a toilet. Partway through Silent Hill 4, Henry will also refuse to reach into the toilet in his room.

[@DashWallkick]

it's a really good joke, she goes to reach into it and goes "ew gross, no way" then literally looks at the camera and says "who would DO THAT??"

[@InfernalDalek]

Oh that's cool. I didn't realize that was a save data bonus.

[@ChrisMerkelStudios]

Between SH1's zodiac puzzle and the imagined "Pyramid Head tracks your bloody footprints" mechanic Woolie came up with, Woolie may well be the king of overthinking things.

[@ChrisMerkelStudios]

@St. Haborym True, but in my experience, once most people hit a snag trying to line up the pre-labeled pictures using the actual order of the zodiac, or realize they can't input two-digit numbers for the ones that need an input, they don't immediately prepare to do actual math. I'm convinced that would've been a much longer video if Reggie wasn't there.

[@Jojje94]

I think it's very funny how in the first ep they call attention to the fact that James turns his head to look at items and now they're just blinding hard on it

[@Postaldude__]

He looks SO HARD too. Like it’s even more excessive than Leon in RE2. It’s like they’re doing it on purpose because it’s so hard to miss. You could blame the darkness but the flashlight usually shows the silhouette of James well so really there’s no excuse beyond lp blindness ig

[@BulldozerBilly]

[@brentcrobarger7872]

[@nackskott12]

AAA games are allergic to games like these. There's a reason why around 2008 all the gaming publishers and press were saying “horror games are dead” - the big wigs and bean counters don't like games like this because they're risky. Indie games and smaller studios have put out some really interesting, niche games and I truly believe that's the future for video games moving forward, because the slow gentrification of the mainstream landscape is really wearing people out. We're already seeing Ich.io games taking off, so here's to the future of indie development.

31:25 I always have that thought as well. Like yes locking your gun up and away if you have kids is the safe thing to do but if someone is actually about to just break your door down and shoot you the last thing you wanna be doing is fumbling with a lock loaded with adrenaline panicking like fuck and probably sweaty handed.
