Earn Your Jump Scare | Silent Hill (5)

[@Spit1990]

"Fetus in the sink? No? We're okay." The most silent hill quote ever.

[@CaptainTitforce]

There was a fetus in the sink here. It's gone now.

[@Ragitsu]

Considering "P.T." wasn't a true _Silent Hill_ ...no.

[@Brandon_Powell]

That wouldn't be a quote. That would be a reference. And I wouldn't describe it as the most Silent Hill ever. The original games are far more iconic than P.T.

[@Ragitsu]

@@Brandon_Powell Awesome Brandon.

[@danieln6613]

36:12 You can picture jumpscares as Dante's Stinger in DMC, it's effective and easy to use, but if you spam it all the time instead of mixing it with various other moves, then your style meter will never budge above D.

[@DrFaustisDead]

Reggie being so silently salty about that locker jumpscare is everything.

[@BrBross]

Really a highlight of the Reggie era

[@norwegianprince]

Woolie walks in and starts screaming "You're not a baby!" And then unloads his gun into the classroom

[@maniacred7560]

"If you are not laughing after a jump scare, then you've failed to deliver." Perfect way to describe it.

[@blackdragoncyrus]

Silent Hill isn't really known for jump scares, which makes the times when they do DO it all the more effective, because it shows that the developers have restraint.

[@night1952]

Jumpscares got bad rep because that's all most games/movies have going for them, they're used as a crutch. It's like marvel quips, they're so formulaic they don't land anymore.

[@pious83]

I still remember the iconic one in SH2. When your torch first catches Pyramid Head...

[@TheDinkybird92]

Lol you said do do

[@RipOffProductionsLLC]

yeah, there's like, 2? in all of the first game: the body falling out of the locker here, and a load bang in the sewers that's just a sound effect that happens.

[@MrStath1986]

@@pious83 that one's solid because he's not doing anything. it'd be one thing if he were approaching you or brandishing his sword, but he just watches you.

[@night1952]

"Ok i'll take another stall" *Shotgun* "This stall is actually pretty good"

[@MinersLoveGames]

The little mini-cuts within the first thirty seconds have me rolling. "You're not a baby. You're not a baby!" followed immediately by a cut to them talking about what a great place this school would be to send your kids to.

[@planguy9575]

Toilet stalls with see through walls. The truest hell dimension.

[@FlozzSD]

This sentence has some great poetic flow to it

[@LtSprinkulz]

Aka ancient Rome

[@gatfatf]

And there's a cheese grater with the word "bidet" painted on it. In every OTHER stall, so you have to share!

[@revelstatus2346]

Silent Hill brings back wonderful memories of a time when four scrublords ruled the gaming world with their bizarre adventures.

[@Carnagevenomtoxin]

What makes the jump scare good is that when it fakes you out the first time Reggie probably had his guard down for a second thinking they weren't going to do anything. That split second is all they need to hit you that other one that will get you because they psyched you out.

[@TomatoAbe]

12:22 “We let the elements deal with you.” Yeah, fire can be considered an element.

[@Famygdala]

I suppose being turned into charcoal counts as death by exposure. I'm no forensics specialist.

[@ghostspooky4974]

On the subject of 'you have to EARN the jumpscare', one of the greatest jumpscares in cinema was in Fellowship of the Ring. And it EARNED it.

[@aleg719]

Back in harry's day crippled kids used crutches even for both legs and spine

[@Sprech41]

totally agree with woolie on the jumpscares. Use them sparingly, and PLEASE do not include an ear-shattering musical sting

[@nahuel3433]

Nah the loud sound is key, its what most easily makes us jump as humans. Hell some jumpscares are effective just because of the sound and the image is secondary. There is such a thing as being excessive though. Its a careful balancing game.

[@Sprech41]

@@nahuel3433 I don't want to jump. I want to be scared, not startled.

[@LtSprinkulz]

@@nahuel3433 the only thing that makes me jump these days are gunshots. Those loud stingers just annoy me 9/10 times.

[@kwedl]

@@nahuel3433 You literally just described every bad jumpscare in media. You are not actually scared or jump because what's happening on screen. Your body just blindly reacts to the loud noise. It's the reason why i will never understand why so many people consider Outlast the scariest horror game.

[@Joonas6]

That locker was truly horrifying. Woolie opened it and a mobile game ad bursted out of it. I nearly did not make it.

[@ghostspooky4974]

Man, Woolie is far more efficient and pro-active in his combat than I usually am, but something about seeing Harry Mason doing back-hops in the Nightmare School Hellscape is hysterical.

[@Meitti]

Dont feel ashamed Reggie, everyone jumps in the locker room the first time.

[@UCannotDefeatMyShmeat]

12:28 the wheelchair is probably weird because it’s so tame in comparison to everything else. It’s like..really? Just a chair? Here?

[@ginger-ham4800]

At $5 a week, when Woolie was back in school, that would have been enough to get yourself lunch at school every day. The teachers were basically paying your lunch; what an ass move to drop you the moment you asked for a raise though lol

[@k96man]

At the end of the day I guess the job was only worth $5 to them

[@raknikmik]

Paying for lunch at school is wild to me.

[@gatfatf]

@@raknikmik There were free lunch options available, but I think you had to have your parents apply for them and I think you could be denied if they thought your parents were too rich to need it. In elementary school I distinctly remember seeing that anyone could ask for the option but I don't remember how it worked in middle or high school, if they wouldn't give you anything if you didn't have the dough.

[@Geassguy360]

Has Woolie seen Carpenter's the Thing? That has a perfect jump scare.

[@CrowTR0bot]

As someone who's seen the movie, which jump scare from that movie would you say is the perfect one?

[@night1952]

I assume you mean the test jumpscare but the defibrillator one is also amazing.

[@MurakamiTenshi]

@@CrowTR0bot chest goes chomp chomp!

[@CrowTR0bot]

@@night1952 The test jump scare was the first that came to mind, but I did like the mystery figure running by in the foreground when Fuchs got up after the lights went out.

[@maniacred7560]

@@CrowTR0bot maybe he meant the blood test or the chest splitter scene

[@Dragonsmana]

Wait, they look like monsters to Woolie?

[@BrBross]

I think in SH1 everyone sees monsters because they're being projected by Alessa, only in 2 that they're projected by each ones mind

[@BrBross]

Good reference nonetheless

[@Dragonsmana]

@@BrBross It was a more general Silent Hill joke, not trying to be too specific to this game lol.

[@FOGSHIE]

Isn’t that line or something similar to it only said to you in SH2 by the little girl and in SH3 by the dude in glasses?

[@shahrouh]

Ooohhhh I was waiting for this moment for 3 episodes now and it was glorious :)

[@Davies46]

An ad played like 2 frames into the jumpscare. Thanks youtube.

[@SinnerBeta]

There was a fetus here but it's gone now.

[@Ranryu692]

Back in the day, kids in wheelchairs didn't go to school because the school was uphill both ways, and they couldn't make it up the hill

[@alephnole7009]

I feel like woolie would probably enjoy dead space one. As it fixes the immersion and hud issue many games have.

[@CaptainTitforce]

Dead Space probably has the best UI in any game.

[@LtSprinkulz]

@@CaptainTitforce gotta agree. I have a tee that has the RIG healthbar on the back and people _constantly_ ask "ayo is that Dead Space?"

[@Xunkun]

9:45 - Worst one I had: I head into the living room from my room at my parent's house, and for a split second, I see this gaunt, naked, black-haired woman, arms wrapped around her knees up on the couch, like she was crying, and she looks at me-- deep pits for eyes, look much deeper than her head should allow, and _she looks at me.... with _*_fear._* Then she just despawns.

[@Xunkun]

37:00 - Oh god, the fucking Paranormal Activity series. Absolute shit, they're not even decent jumpscares, by the _second half_ of the FIRST movie I was beginning to not just cue the jumpscares, but _cue the fakeouts._ I regret that I paid to see the second _almost_ as much as I'm still angry that we paid money to see "The Village", because fucking Shaymalan is just the movie version of David Cage.

I just learnt that the demon children are replaced in the Japanese and European version of the game

[@TomatoAbe]

What did they replace them with?

[@Ancisace]

@@TomatoAbe They looked more monsterish, with clawed hands instead of knives.

[@TomatoAbe]

Huh, I looked them up, “Mumblers.” They look more like the weird yeti monsters that show up in the streets later, those things used to freak me the f out. I mean, they both did to be fair, but that’s some cool trivia, thanks!

Dread > constant jump scares. It's why I think Sicario is a better horror movie than the Paranormal Activity movies. Give me "Oh no. Oh no no no" over rampant musical stings and flying cats outta nowhere any day.

[@GrimKhazi]

Woolie! I did a similar thing in school. I wasn't paid money though. You got thr good stuff. I was paid one icee slushy or a brownie, my choice. I and two others were in charge of placing large tin cans into the large outside garbage recepticle. I remember slicing my hand open on a can moving it to garbage. They just threw it on the outside for us in a bin. No bags. I remember bleeding profusily and I went in for help. The lady just wrapped my hand in paper towels and gave me my slushee to enjoy. Went back to class and the teacher didn't even care. That went on for a atleast three weeks. Can't remember. Was many years ago.

[@FightCain]

Wasn’t disappointed with the reaction

There's a hot chicken joint in Nashville TN who's hottest flavor is called the Poultrygeist. It's VERY hot

[@richardjohnson8991]

It was very average aside from the spiciness. It probably wasn't any better than KFC chicken

[@LtSprinkulz]

Lol. Man I miss that place called "Otter's" that used to be in downtown Nashville. Near music row, a block away from the naked people statue. Best fried chicken in town and their "Otter Sauce" was TOP.

Yeah, he does it at 46:01.

>The game gives Woolie a shotgun >Immediately throws several rooms that are obviously built for the shotgun, and meant to make the player go "Alright, not a job for the handgun" >Proceeds to do everything he can not to use it I've never played this game btw, this just made me mad cause of how obvious the devs were communicating their intent, and how reserved Woolie is being. I know he didn't get a lot of shotgun shells at first either, but, I feel like if the game is throwing encounters like that at me then I can trust it that it will give me the ammo I need if I handle the fights well.

[@theottersamurai5997]

Tbh, I never used the shotgun until the boss myself. I was worried I wouldn’t have any ammo for it since I couldn’t find a lot
