★ 「サイレントヒル2」いろいろ

つい最近、「サイレントヒル2」をクリアしました!! (≧∇≦)/
初代や3代の経験にして、ゲームの遊び方が大体知ってたんですけど、やっぱり「サイレントヒル」シリーズは面白い怖いです。「3」の裏病院のような世界がなくても、音が相変わらず怖い、川井憲次さんがいなくても怖い。なんだか、「2」は「3」よりもっと怖いような気がします。わけもなく出てくる▲頭さんのせいかな。^^;
I just cleared "Silent Hill 2" a few days ago!! With the experience from "SH" and "SH3", I didn't worry too much about how to play it, yet for sure, Silent Hill series is interesting scary. Without the grotesque otherworld of the hospital in SH3, the sound effect is still scary -- right, so scary even without Kenji Kawai. Somehow, I feel like SH2 is scarier than SH3. Perhaps it's due to our Mr. Pyramid Head who comes out sometimes with no reason.
残念ながら、「3」が終わった頃こんなスクリーンキャプチャ忘れちゃって…まあいいや。
It's a shame that I forgot to get a screen cap for SH3 when I have just done it, well, anyway...


えっと、ビギナーモードです、はい。
――しようがないもん、これが一番楽だし、ノーマルさえ「無理!!」って叫び続ける私なんだもの。お陰でボス戦はほぼボス戦っぽくなくなちゃった。( ̄ε ̄;) でも、難度はともかく、▲頭さんは「2」の一番怖い存在です。度々、「なんでもいい、三角さんじゃなかったらいいの」って祈り続いた私だった。
As you see, it's beginner mode.
-- I can't help, it's the easiest way for me. I'm the type who will fail under "normal" mode. Thanks to it, boss fights were not like boss fights any more. But, regardless the difficuty, the most frightening existence is our Mr. Pyramid Head. For times, I just prayed, "I don't care what kind of monsters being in front of me, as long as it's not him!"
そして、謎解きが好きな私が、もちろんリドル難度はハードに設定した。ただし、「3」のほうがよりマシだと思います。「2」において、一番印象的で「怖い」謎は多分、牢屋エリアのある小さな部屋にある南京錠見たいなものかな。ここで「怖い」を使ったわけは、電池切れのパケットライトを電池替えたあととともに、部屋を飛び回る無数の虫だった。キモくて怖かったもん!で、どの謎が分かってくれましたかなぁ~
I like to play with riddles, so I set the riddle level to hard. However, I believe riddles in SH3 are much more difficult. In SH2, the most impressive and "scariest" riddle would be the lock in the small room in the prison area. I used "scary" because when you changed the battery for the pocket light, the small room where you were in was filled with countless bugs! Darn, it was so disgusting! And I guess you know which riddle I was talking about~
で、エンディングについて、クリアしたあとすぐに全部のエンディングをネタバレされように行った。私のできた「Leave」ってやつは個人的に好きです。死にたくなくて、回復アイテムが十分である以上、攻撃されたらすぐに回復するってこと、「Leave」に達する第一条件を満たしたから。まあ、思うとこんなもんか。
About the endings. I went to be spoiled right after I cleared this game. Among these, I myself do like this "Leave" ending. Well, in my case, since I didn't want to die and I had enough restorative items, I restore my HP soon after I got attacked, which fulfilled the very first requirement of reaching the "Leave" ending. At least I guess so.
それと、セーブとか、プレイ時間とか、初プレイなので長かった。何度も目的地知らなくてウロウロしていたのか今はもうわかりません。船の時もそうだった。良くも迷子になちゃったわね、二三歩歩くと地図見なければならないほど方向音痴のあたしなんだから。
受けたダメージの方なら驚く最高得点らしい…と言っても、ビギナーモードで殺られたら本当に泣くぞ。
Then, about other things such as saves and play time, it's long for my first time. I've already lost count of how many time I was unsure about which way to go and wandering around. So was the time for the boat stage. I'm very clear that I have no sense of direction, so I tend to get lost and had to read the map for every 2-3 steps.
Seems I got rather high points for the total damage I received... well, I'll cry if I die under beginner mode.
とりあいず、次の目的は「3」と同じく全部のエンディングを集めようとする。今度はイージーノーマルでやろうかなぁ(ハードなんて死んでもやらないけど)…そして、そろそろ「4」をも始めようかなぁ~
Anyway, like SH3, my next goal is to get all its endings. Maybe next time, I should try easy normal mode (no hard mode for me no matter what!)... also, I'll probably start SH4 soon~
ああ、▲頭さんといえば、多分まだここで貼っていないだと思います。「2」をやる前にも勝手に塗ったもの――
Speaking of our Pyramid Head, I think I haven't posted it here, a random scribble I made before starting SH2--

「サイレントナイフ」です!――いやいや、うちの三角さんがこんなに可愛いわけがないです!(/・ω・)/
"Silent Knife"! -- Noo, our Mr. Pyramid Head isn't supposed to be that kawaii!

★ A Maiden's Romance, Trance or Funk?♪

"Even though it's a lie, don't tell the truth. Sometimes, forget the reality, and enjoy the world of imagination."
-- And today I'm still in dark mode. :papasmurf:
Light rain, misty sight, scent of flowers, transparent umbrella, and a white bunny in tuxedo and top hat. KOKIA's "liar liar ~ロマンティックワルツ (romantic waltz)" is one of my falling-in-love-within-one-second songs that triggered me two pieces of drawing in this April. In last afternoon, I finally finished one of them after spending around 7 hours.
But I had trouble with giving it a final name, so I ended up combining the background misty ambience and the song of inspiration -> Misty Romance. Think again, maybe replace Romance with Secret is better.
--And the reason of using "secret" is a secret! :tongue:
Her transformation tool is the glasses! :cool:

I wanted to write about it before, that I feel like it's nothing but nuts to put music into detailed genres. Like a few weeks ago, when I was trying some I've sound music, the wrote "Low Trance Assembly" on the CD jacket at the position supposed to be genre. Alright, I'll assume the I've style is the so-called "trance" (although I've never been droven into trance status by this type of music). But I can't have a clearer picture of what exactly trance music is even after reading wikipedia in three languages. :rolleyes:
Then I asked a friend who listens to trance a lot. He said the I've trance is SO DIFFERENT from most trance music he listens to. Not surprising but interesting enough. After J-pop, J-rock, shall I call I've music J-trance? :left:
Anyway, what got my focus was that there is something (I don't know what that is exactly) repeating in trance. But as what I've read before, there is also something repeating in funk music.
So, trance =~ funk? :bigeyes:
I know they are different! But don't break my illusion!! -ω-

♧ 最近の悩み事/Recent Worries

1. Waiting is painful.
My copy of "みとせのりこ/宵待ロマンチカ(Mitose Noriko - Yoimachi Romantica)" is on its way, but I can't wait for the instrumental version of "Kinema Mosaic" (I'm not buying this CD for this track only though)! Now, the only thing I can do is to loop this crossfade preview and let my strong desire burning... :zzz: The worse thing is, I won't be able to touch my copy until this September. :awww:

(●・ω・)(・ω・◎)(○・ω・○)(◎・ω・)(・ω・●)
2. My daughter's day of birth
As the representative of this blog, she is supposed to have the same day of birth which is Aug. 6th. Although I was very happy at the very beginning, this feeling already faded away completely. Plus, Leo apparently doesn't have good compatibility with Aquarius! So I can't stand that setting the same day for her. (I'm aware of my strong Yuki Kajiura complex now.)
So, is that possible to change the date anyway? :bug:
What about June 12? With a solid proof, and belongs to Gemini, which is good, most of people who get along with me are under this sign. :smurf: But still, it's too absurd to make this change. So I'll probably end up with this date for her only.
And now the problem becomes how I should celebrate it. In August? or in June? or both?? Well, lemme think about it more, maybe I'll eventually persuade myself to change everything to Jun. 12~ :party:

3. みちゃんが来てくれるって!
Mi-chan said she's gonna visit me during this summer -- I bet you don't know who Mi-chan is, and I'm pretty sure I didn't mention her that much as KOKIA, Akiko or Noriko. Perhaps the last time I mentioned her was years ago, on Halloween. :tongue:
I wonder how long her hair is now? Maybe we have the same length now. I want to braid her hair again~ Let's cosplay Amano Tooko together! :wink:
--Well, this thing doesn't really bother me, but I have to be on guard to avoid going into yuri-mode.
And now just let's wish everything going well♪ :bigeyes:
