It seems a bit of an obscure title, and you know how I love the obscure. Truth be told though, I only hunted it down because I heard that the Silent Hill games draw a portion of their creepiness from it. And boy, is it true. Well, it&#8217;s not quite as big an influence as I was led to believe, but you can definitely see the similarities. Oh, and it was a pretty good movie as well. Confusing as all Hell until the end (which was a cop-out to boot), but I would certainly recommend it to those who like movies that are out of the ordinary. Oh, and if you didn&#8217;t know by the title, you probably wouldn&#8217;t pick up on it anyway, but there are lots of biblical references here. Good movie. Wouldn&#8217;t buy it, but good movie. It&#8217;s really hard to find, but there&#8217;s a torrent for it over at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.novatina.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Novatina<\/a>. It&#8217;s under &#8220;mystery&#8221;, but it&#8217;s really more of a thriller. Not that I&#8217;m championing piracy or anything&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>On a related topic, I got Silent Hill 3 and 4 the other day. I&#8217;m about halfway through 3 and haven&#8217;t even started 4 yet. Such good games, and the only ones I cannot play with the lights off, even with my newfound policy of facing my fears. Creepy stuff. And the best part is that I got &#8217;em for $15 and $25, respectively. I picked up I-Ninja for $10 as well. It&#8217;s totally worth $10. this whole &#8220;buying preowned games&#8221; thing is working out really well for me and my wallet. Three good, slightly used games for less than one new one? Sounds like a killer deal to me. And as an added surprise, SH3 comes with the soundtrack packaged in! I didn&#8217;t know that! Ah, material posessions: my one true love.<\/p>\n<p>Oh yeah, and I updated my profile page, for those who care. While I&#8217;m at it, I&#8217;ll mention that I lost like seven pounds over the last week. This is alarming, because I was in no way trying to lose weight. All these people on TV working so hard to drop the fat, and then I come along and start losing it without even trying. Ah irony, thou art a snide bastard indeed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The February archive is now up. Or, it will be shortly after this post is completed.
