I'm not going to lie that game used to scare me ****less when I was little.
My uncle and his friends weren't no help, they kept pretending to be zombies to scare me. I just thought back on some of the things they did though and it was pretty hilarious really.

Tell me about it. The part where that zombie turns back to face you was one of the scariest video game moments ever for me.
What did it for me was the Licker crawling past the window in Resident Evil 2.

I will admit that that made me jump when I saw that for the first time.

The game that has most scared me was probably Eternal Darkness, but that's in a more mature, going insane due to eldritch abominations sort of way.
Yeah but it had a sanity restore spell. I can't believe they messed up the base concept by putting that in. You just cast it after every encounter and then no weird stuff ever happened, which basically removed 50% of the game's tricks.
So stupid of them! Magic makes you go MORE insane in Cthulhu, not less.
Can't really say that I've been scared of a game b4... I've never been an easy person to freak out.
I'd say that Resindent Evil, or Silent Hill came the closest, but that was just a couple of jumps on the first playthrough. Nothing traumatizing though.
A game that did get under my skin recently was Eternal Sonata though. Isn't scary or anything, the ending credits just wouldnt stop playing through my head after I beat it. Uggghh.... ****ing Janpanese environmentalists.

Actively going insane through the level is the whole point, far as I'm concerned.

I've always HP Lovecraft's stuff to be ridiculously overrated... Just throwing that out there.
Or is it the fact that you are a big fat poopyhead who eats butt?
In all seriousness what have you read white boy?
Over the the course of the last five months, most of the ones here. I'm down the last four at the bottom there.

You're a bad person.
What don't you like about it?

I didn't dislike almost any of them, I just don't see them as these epic ingenious literary works that are God's gifts to the reading man, which is what an awful lot of people regard them as.
While he is by no means the best writer to ever live, he is certainly one worthy of note.
Yer just not intellekshooal enough to comprehend his awesomeness. estahuh
