Let's Play Silent Hill 2 - Pt 32 - A New Start and a New Weapon

[konoha92hero]

James holds up the Chainsaw "THEY MAY TAKE OUR LIVES...BUT THEY WILL NEVER TAKE OUR FREEDOM!!!...... Oh wait wrong scene...oops"

[thedragonb0y]

You can tell Konomi were fans of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre with the Chainsaw idle animation.

That is just priceless! XDD

...AauuaAAgh! D<

[sammo5000]

I just noticed something. James runs...odd. I mean I've never ever seen someone run like that in my life.The way his legs move move and the way he swings his arms looks strange to me.

[RoahmMythril]

Quite true, that, many SH protagonists seem to walk strangely X)

[sammo5000]

@RoahmMythril Yeah, like Heather and Harry. The only two that walk and run somewhat normally are Alex and Henry. I've also wondered why Alex has a odd hair-style. It seems that whenever I look at him from the back when I'm playing Homecoming, he looks like he has a fohawk.

[RoahmMythril]

Haha, must be one of those military buzzcuts growing back awkwardly or something.

[sammo5000]

@RoahmMythril I kinda feel sorry for him. I still think it looks good though. Speaking of SH, at the flea market a couple weeks back, I found a pair of boots that look EXACTLY like James's. I seem to run the same way he does when I am wearing them so that may be a good explanation for him.

[cmm6016]

What's so retarded about this is that your laughing at the end scared the crap out of me more than the walk-through; in part because I expected the monsters and because your laughter is so loud and so sudden..lol

[Hothit05]

YAY! Roahm's back! It's great to see a new one of your vids. A nice Birthday present for me, my bro and a good friend of mine!

[TheEnforcer321]

im glad to hear that everything is going well, oh and about the lying figures, this is just an idea but i think its the change from being in an open environment to a narrow hallway but im not sure

[PiEiNtHeFaCe22]

See what happens when you leave a chainsaw running in wood. Blade's get so dull you can't even cut tape.

[Supuhstar]

normal stance: right foot forward. Switch is left foot forward.

[MusicoftheDamned]

Good to hear that things are better now.

Is that Chainsaw yell an idle motion? If so, then it was perfectly timed. Heh. I also find it rather funny that it's apparently in the game at all. As if you didn't have enough reason to worry about Mr. Sunderland's mental health....

[beedolphin1]

Dolphin squeal, Roahm is back :) How I've missed your voice and videos. You have made my day. Glad to know things are stilll good at your house and your mother is still doing great.

You did another great video, Roahm. As for the lying figures, it may be because it's early in the game and the makers wanted you to get use to fighting them.

[h00ntube]

who is fungo???

[RoahmMythril]

Fungo is another YouTuber, he's done a lot of Silent Hill vids.

[ruinedtemples22]

Glad to see things are good, Roahm. Slogan of the Silent Hill Police Department: "When we say 'keep out' we mean it!" As for James, nothing says chainsaw-wielding maniac like a good scream :)

[bandanastan]

Hahaha! Gotta love that insane battlecry James does XD

[Alleckheim]

I am pleased that you made a Jet Force Gemini reference. -thumbs up-

[luigi4728]

YAY roahm is back :D

[uncleskizo]

If you know about Nanobreaker, there's an option to change the blood to rainbow colors (after completing the game one time, I believe). There's so much blood in that game that it's borderline laughable.

[ZapBlaze]

HUZZAH!!! PATIENCE PAYS OFF! X3

[SonicHiro15]

Im glad that you are back. BTW, we, your silent fans, will always leave our best wishes for you and your family/friends.

Glad your back.

BTW, switch means you only need to click the button to switch from attack mode to exploring mode.

[Dragoonknight717]

Are your videos featured now? Because there's adds... :(

[RoahmMythril]

No, the ads are due to automatic Content ID matches. However, there's nothing I can do about those. These came from actual music in the game, so it's not something I can edit out. However, they let my vids remain live, they just put ads on them, so it really isn't THAT big of a deal.

[THENAMEISMEGAMAN]

Rev up that chainsaw, James! Wait.  You're telling me it bounced off the tape? You're weak!

[residentevilman64]

"Normal and Switch" means (I think) in normal you hold down the "weapon stance" button, and in switch you just press the "weapon stance" button and it will stick until you hit the button again. Sorry if i'm wrong Roahm.

[OZZYRULES200]

Glad your mom feels better Roahm. :)

[ilikepie21234]

oh god James,"VICTORY!!!!!" XD

[TheLeadElite]

thank goodness your mom feels better

[Kingjder02]

woh good to see you back Mr.mythril : )

[Bowserslave]

maybe since theyre in a cramped space they wanna escape as quickly as possible thats all i could come up with =/ i mean if i were on the ground in a small hallway id crawl as quickly as i could and faster than if in a big open space

[DarkDialga960]

good to hear about your mom and good to see you back, roahm

[GamerBoyGod]

roahm im so glad your mom is feeling better 

[fatstuff1988]

glad you're mother's doing better =D

[atza20]

Ahh now back to my happy place good to see you back :D

[Prod1gyX2009]

Hey Roahm, More rampage???

[TheShuichix]

Honsetly I've run into the same problem playing this game on Hard Mode but I don't believe it's unavoidable according to a couple of friends of mine on Facebook the recovery time for the Lying Figures increases a bit more as the game progresses like in the very beginning exploring Silent Hill to find the first area enemies despite the diffuculty are easier to take out. Or it could be something else completely like lying in darkness increases their strength or something otherwordly than that. =P

[RoahmMythril]

Haha, well, either way at least I got through it XD

[MrStone125]

Hmm i have to ask will you be doing a silent hill 3 game Roahm? :u

[RoahmMythril]

Yes, I will likely be doing SH3 next Halloween, it's probably my favorite in the series ;)

[DAOW17]

14:40 "RAWR! me James! look for dead wife, kill creepy things cut things up with big saw!"

[coughcough22]

WELCOME BACK CAPTAIN ROAHM!!!

PRIVATE COUGH REPORTING FOR WORSH er... DUTY!!

yeah...

[Seraphicat]

9:58 - I would think the armored police tape was made by the same company that made those canned light bulbs that you had to use a while ago. xD

14:40 - ...and I think James Sunderland is trying to practice his audition for the role of Leatherface in the new Texas Chainsaw movie. xD

[RoahmMythril]

Metal police tape, canned light bulbs, vanishing holes... Silent Hill is full of weird things X)

[Devext]

@RoahmMythril Then you never been to Canada.

[RedDragon1444]

It's great to have you back, Roahm

[RoahmMythril]

Thank you ;)

[djgalven]

I'd think that the weapon stance means this: Normal means you hold down the button to stay in your stance, while switch means you tap the button and you stay in your stance. :3 Just my two cents. :3

[edfreak9001]

The enemies in the beggining of the game, regardless of difficultty, are probably easier to deal with since anybody could be playing anyone else's game, so those enemies are a bit easier so you start off smoothly.

[RoahmMythril]

Hmm, that could explain it.

[edfreak9001]

The caution tape of the GODS!

[Kalfor]

Normal and switch i think means which hand you use to swing the weapon ETC. so i think switch is left and normal is right (hands)

[mollettman]

Welcome back from your break/technical difficulties Roahm. Great videos as always.

[RoahmMythril]

Thank you, I'm certainly glad to be back to uploading things ;)

[RSCNyx]

Happy your mom's doing okay!

And..."Is it dead?" It sounded like you cut it in half! Jeez, James.

[RoahmMythril]

Indeed, quite good to have her out of the hospital ;)

[WingmanVWXYZ]

I think I just had an epic squeal. You're back O_O*

You're finally back ^^

Glad to hear things worked out. Keep it up!

[RoahmMythril]

Definitely good to be back ;)

[KitKatarine]

Welcome back :D

[silentjav]

hooray!

[pieceofcakegaming]

im didnot know that tape is metal lol

[ghhost92]

*glomps* welcome back to doing videos Roahm ^^

and also *holds up chainsaw*

I AM REPTAR, HEAR ME ROAR!!!

[Arexion5293]

Welcome back, our beloved dragon!

[RoahmMythril]

Thank you, good to be back ;)

[markroark69]

great to have you back and chainsaw just never point down i guess

[kenseitakezo]

I think switch means he will be using a stance as if he was left handed I think

[Zanczar]

Now this was a pleasant surprise!

[RoahmMythril]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it ;)

[SparkyDaHedgehog]

Great to see you're back, Roahm. And It's great to hear your mom is home and out of the hospital. Trust me, I know a thing or two about moms and hospitals... it's not fun.

I look forward to more, as usual! :)

[RoahmMythril]

Thank you very much, and it's good to be back.

[Beremor]

"Armored police tape, what will they think of next?"

I hope they don't invent armored donuts ... :(

[RekezWolf]

by switch they mean toggle the stance on so u dont have to hold the button

[RoahmMythril]

Ahh, okay, thank you.

[pookieizzy7]

"I might be a good idea to take it." Classic lol!

[HarroOscar]

Welcome back! 

[RoahmMythril]

Thank you ;)

[TheNintendoMaster03]

Great to have one of the best LPers back! WTF? A chainsaw can'y break police tape? Lol!

[RoahmMythril]

Haha, yeah, that amused me X)

[TheRealZindo]

And now for something completely different.

(James) [ holds up chainsaw] RAORWGzzHh!!!

[RoahmMythril]

I had never seen him do that before this run X)

[HeyShayMay]

Magnificent news. :D

Good to have you back, Roahm!

[RoahmMythril]

Thank you ;)

[levelmaster2]

Glad to have you back. Maybe your humor can cure my sickness.

[RoahmMythril]

Ah, I do hope you feel better soon then.

[levelmaster2]

@RoahmMythril Thank you for that. Compared to Friday night coughing all night and throat soreness (and having to work the half-off sale at Goodwill), I'm doing a little better but still having a lot coughing.

[nojkoor1584]

Did you use a different attack swing or just hit them at a different spot or different range? Its either that or they got stronger or shadowwarmox is 100% correct about their AI being a mess

[RoahmMythril]

Indeed, the sheer speed at which they spit is just ridiculous on Hard mode.

[shadowarmorx]

What I think you did differently with the lieing figures is nothing at all.it could just be their AI.Ya never know.

[nojkoor1584]

hmm noise effect or your other options do appear to have made it slightly brighter in youtube

[RoahmMythril]

Ah, that's interesting to know.

[rondome18]

good to see you roahm, good part.

[RoahmMythril]

Thank you ;)

[ZekeStarr]

I think I may have the answer for you about the Normal vs Switch Weapon control is. I believe that Normal is where you have to hold down the ready weapon button to attack but Switch means that you click the read weapon button once to ready it and it REMAINS readied until you click the button again.

[RoahmMythril]

Hmm, maybe that's it? It really could have been explained better in the menu XD

[nojkoor1584]

I have a guess what the normal vs switch weapon control may mean. A switch hitter in baseball ocassional changes how he holds the bat given the pitcher, James is obviously right handed, perhaps switch means your character always or sometimes uses their left hand for the weapons. Best guess I got

[nojkoor1584]

@nojkoor1584 It does say choose stance when weapon control is selected so i think i made a good guess at least

[RoahmMythril]

Hmm, he does sometimes switch stances like that on melee weapons...  Maybe it is?

[PyroVox]

Great to see you doing videos again! Roahm!

[RoahmMythril]

Good to get back to it ;)

[Shintaka9009]

A new part~? I knew staying up until 4 AM was a good idea! Thank ye, O Roahm.

[Kaephoon]

Hey! Glad to hear about your mum being fine and all :), hope she doesnt need to go back to the hospital again, anyway thanks for putting this up :)

[RoahmMythril]

Thank you very much ;) She's doing quite well now, so that's certainly a relief.

[Kaephoon]

@RoahmMythril Well, That's good to hear :D

[YoshiKing25]

GASP i never though i'd actually see more of these 0_o

[jordanliow]

Hey! You pulled through and showed Youtube who's boss by getting this uploaded.

[RoahmMythril]

Oddly enough, it seems it was more Firefox's fault than YouTube, due to the most recent "upgrade," and I use the term loosely.
