    dude...Laura is real.

    She's a little girl whom mary wanted to adopt (Mary wrote a letter to Laura which she gave to Rachel the nurse saying she was going to adopt her)

    And this is why Laura helps James. Why is she so mean to him? He's mean to her...

    That and, y'know, she's a kid and thats what kids do.

    She wouldnt have known she was locking James in the room with the hangers...because she doesn't see the monsters.

    Im sure I dont need to tell y'all why this is.

    However, a dead dog is found in one of the back alleys before the apartments. Perhaps Eddie is reliving his past sins, or perhaps his reality is being manifested in Silent Hill.

    Oh jeezum H crackers...don't tell me I need to explain to you the principle behind silent hill 2.

    They only made it BLATANTLY OBVIOUS in the game...

    I find it rather odd that nobody has picked up one of the most glaring points about this remix...which is that for the most part this is just the original vocals overlapped with a thin, empty sounding bongo drum loop (if you REALLY want to split hairs, youd bring up the fact that now the lyrics make no real sense)

    There are some occasional countermelodies (while they are dissonant, it was pulled off semi-well, so I wont comment further on those) but they didnt really go with the main melody....especially the part at the end when the oboe comes in and plays along with the melody going into some riffs which sound like the scale of G-Minor or the traditional music from Egypt and the surrounding area

    Towards the end there's some arpeggios (which would have been a chance to sneak in the prelude, by the way...just to show 'em :P) and while I appreciate their being on a square wave I find myself asking why.

    To me it was like putting a slammin ukelele solo in the middle of a death metal track...entirely the wrong voice to have used since it bears no relation to anything else that was used in the track.

    The track is also too...flat? Lacking in progression?

    Yeah, lacking in progression...thats a good term, I guess.

    What I mean is, the track doesnt change at all...all five minutes of it are the same choir with bongos and the occasional scale in the background.

    What we have here is OCRs longest intro to a remix. I say that, because all 5 minutes are an introduction to a greater tune...an impression I also get from the 'ending' to this one which ends on sort of a "....oh" note, rather than the "YEAH!" note that the original ended on and that anything which attempts to emulate it should also end on.

    While it isnt a bad track in the way that you can't listen to it for more than a minute...

    It's a bad track in the fact that its dull, unoriginal and goes nowhere.

    That said, people seem to like it....so I guess its good for certain people.

    So... It's a flying head, with arms for ears? Or is it a head, still with arms for ears, that's walking around on these arms? What does it do? Breathe at you, with it's horrid breath fron hell?

    Sorry.

    It walks about on the arms.

    Yeah, its hard to describe so when I get a GOOD drawing of it Ill post (the idea is that is wraps its arms round you like a hug before trying to collapse your ribcage)

    Oooh, so it jumps up at you... maybe even bites you? Well... sounds Silent Hillish enough, but a drawing would still help. =)

    No, it doesnt bite you...since the original plan was that it didnt have a head.

    It's based off a monster in a british TV ad...the idea being that it wasnt a monster but a big fluffy thing that hugged people whenever they drank a cup-a-soup...

    But thats just dumb and boring.

    I prefer my bad-ass collapse your ribcage version

    James keeps seeing people die in silent hill, fine...

    Why, then, does he not really care when he sees someone die?

    "Maria got lynched? Damn, where's Mary?"

    "I just gunned Eddia into a horrible bloodied carcass? Is mary in here?"

    "OH NO! MARIA GOT STABBED! NOW SHELL NEVER TELL ME ABOUT MARY!"

    There's been somewhat of a change of plan with my OST.

    Rather than using "Papa Roach - Last resort" as the backing music, I instead intend to use "Marilyn Manson - Suicide is painless" since that fits the games much more (and isnt suck-rock like Papa Roach)
