7 Things I DON'T Want to See in the 'Silent Hill 2' Remake
My opinions of Konami are lower than ever since the abominable release of Silent Hill: Ascension. Seriously, if your plan was to create a manifestation of an anti-capitalist gamer's worst fear, then mission fucking accomplished. You couldn't leave the IP alone, could you? Nope, you dug up its corpse, cut it up, and sold the pieces to whatever game developer would deal with you. I thought the Silent Hill brand being adapted to a fucking Pachinko machine was rock-bottom, but apparently you managed to dig through bedrock and survive Earth's molten core.

I grew up playing video games from the '80s, which is unusual when you consider I was born in '93, but I have my uncle to thank for that. An OG game and tech guy, he had it all; stacks of gaming magazines, retro consoles, and the patience to introduce me to a hobby that still brings me joy.

Nestled within the foreboding confines of the Derceto mansion in the heart of Louisiana, the game unfolds a gripping tale entwined with a very suspicious suicide, a haunting curse over the mansion, malevolent powers, and a sinister secret waiting to be unraveled.

Disturbing Video Game Bosses. Content Warning.
Video game bosses are usually depicted as bigger, meaner, and stronger versions of video game mooks. While they are made to look more scary, there are some that are so disturbing, it's nightmare inducing. However, when you've been a gamer for a long time, some bosses loss their disturbing factor and become interesting to observe.

One of the most powerful features of video games is their ability to let you inhabit new worlds. Games aren't just fun pastimes, they're places that we go. Whether the grounds of The Mushroom Kingdom, the Hills of Hyrule, the Depths of Brinstar, or the streets of Los Santos, the memories made in video games can be as real as any others.
