Survival Horror Gets Fashion Showdown

Thanks to Crunk Games for their less-than-serious feature showcasing the fashionable world of the survival horror genre. As the introduction explains: "Every Resident Evil game thus far has awarded players at least one new costume for their chosen character on subsequent playthroughs, a practice that Konami has only recently added to its trademark Silent Hill series. We've decided to pit the cheesiest survival horror series against the scariest in a battle of pure fashion." This spoiler-including article then compares outfits that span the good (Jill Valentine's "classic blue S.T.A.R.S. uniform"), the weird (the "stunning heart-shaped belt buckle" of Silent Hill 3's Magical Girl Heather), and the plain hideous (Silent Hill's "68-year old Avril Lavigne", Dahlia Gillespie), before concluding: "Green herbs all around for those who stuck with it."

    9 steps to greasing your anus for Yoda Doll Insertion!
    1. Defecate. preferably after eating senna, ex lax, prunes, cabbage and hot sauces.
    2. Wipe ass with witch hazel, soothes horrific burns.
    3. Prime anus with anal ease.
    4. Slather richly a considerable amount of vaseline or other anal lubricants into your rectum at least until the bend and also take your yoda doll or yoda soap on a rope and liberally apply it.
    5. Pucker your ballon knot several times actuating the sphincter muscle in order to work it in.
    6. Put a nigger do-rag on yoda's head so the ears don't stick out like daggers!
    7. Make sure to have a mechanism by which to fish yoda out of your rectum, the soap on the rope is especially useful because that is built in.
    8. Slowly rest yourself onto your yoda figurine.

    Because of Yoda's attitude, I usually don't respond to his perversions, but this time I'll make an exception. For starters, the nicest thing that can be said about Yoda's lackeys is that they are goofy insurrectionists out to demonstrate an outright hostility to law enforcement. Already, some piteous Neanderthals have begun to fund a vast web of uncontrollable vagabonds, combative slackers, and naive malodorous-types, and with terrifying and tragic results. What tracts will follow from their camp is anyone's guess. Think about that for a moment. Simply put, every morning Yoda asks himself, "How can I fool the masses today?" The law is not just a moral stance. It is the consensus of

  6. graphics quality by technopinion · · Score: 1

    Wow, actually, reading this, I hadn't realized that these games had this sort of detailed characters (from a graphics standpoint). Are these all live-action shots from the games, or are they from pre-rendered sequences?

      The graphics quality of the characters in games like Silent Hill 2 & 3 are quite remarkable, the face of Heather in SH3 is very well designed, modeled and textured and includes effects such as the light reflection in the eyes as shown in the Half-Life 2 G-man movie. It's also a great game.

      I don't know about the Silent Hill ones, but the Resident Evil (1 and Zero) pictures look just like in-game shots to me. The graphics in both games on the Gamecube are absolutely astounding (and terrifying, I might add).

      I'm only familiar with Silent Hill II, but the shots of Maria in 'The Ugly Girls' section were a mix of in-game and pre-rendered. Specifically from top-to-bottom: in-game, pre-rendered, pre-rendered. While the top shot is obviously the kludgiest looking of the three, I have to say it doesn't do the game justice. I remember playing SH2 on X-Box and the graphics were rich, particularly the highly effective use of textures to impart that creep show "we're more than half way to hell" look to the environments. This game had me flinching and jumping out of my seat more than most horror movies do!

      The problem with a screenshot is a) you'll see aliasing that you won't see on your average TV screen, and b) you don't see the motion; the animation goes a long way to making the characters seem more believable.
