Fear little girls

There is something primal about the fear of little girls (and boys for that manner) singing nursery rhymes off key, laughing little unnatural snickers, slowly stalking towards you with a dead stare and slight smirk. The only thing scarier than watching something like The Ring is practically living it by playing "Fear", the horrifying FPS that I bought last night and proceeded to terrorize myself playing until midnight.

Now I will admit that there are a slew of self-styled horror survival games out there, and Silent Hill is one of the scariest games I have ever played (and I'm sure it took a couple years off of my life purely from stress), but they did an amazing job with "Fear". The defining moment for me was when this girl started walking towards me and the room starting going to hell. I made the inital mistake of running towards her thinking the "ghost" would disappear or, well maybe she needed to be saved from the fire... My screen was filled with "you have been killed" pretty fast. After that I learned that when little girls are walking towards you, surrounded by exploding firey death, you run, away, fast. You can just make her out in the screenshot, in the white circle.

Oh, and I picked up some memory for my computer that has totally enhanced my BF2 performance. It's crazy that you NEED 1 GB of memory now, I thought 512MB would be more than enough.

I'm *never* going to play that game, although I'm so incredibly fascinated by it.

I want to play it, though, and I hate myself for being scared.

Little ghost girls. Why don't they just relax?

We need to start taking screens of our kills in BF2. Some camera/missile mode shots would be cool.

By the way, have you ever seen the movie Waking Life?

Or videos, like something CNN inspired from the desert storm or desert storm 2. And I don't think I've seen Waking Life, what's it like?

I played more tonight, did pretty well but it sucks not having a squad that actually plays together.

That FEAR game looks pretty sweet. I'm still debating whether I should buy a FPS for my laptop. That FEAR game sounds sweet, the Call of Duty 2 game looks cool, and I'd like to get the new Halflife.

I am also still holding out on getting the new HalfLife. Partially because you need to dial in to their server everytime you want to play the game - even single player, or something like that.

What, that's retarded??? There's almost no point in me getting it for my laptop then.

Yup, Half Life 2 needs an internet connection to play, even single player. Pissed a lot of people off, unless I'm mistaken.

I'm starting to wonder if the whole PC gaming thing is worth it.

I started playing Doom 3 again. It's scary in a different way. It's scary because you can't see anything. The cool thing is that now you can play the single player campaign in a cooperative multiplayer fashion. That's way more fun.
