On this grounded episode of the Whispers‘ podcast, Kyle and I talk about the portrayal of mental illness in horror games. Prepare for some heartfelt criticism of the genre for demonizing illnesses that still lack full understanding in society. We talk about our personal experiences, examples of poor representation, and resources those suffering can utilize (like Take This). The horror genre needs to get past asylums and and schizos right? Better games will come out of leaving those tropes behind.
On this reanimated episode of the Whispers in The Dark podcast, we relaunch the show in a topical format by taking a look at the cancellation of Silent Hills.

We're back with our third movie commentary - this time with Paul W.S. Anderson's first Resident Evil adaptation. The Resident Evil movie series may have become a trainwreck of bad performances, shoddy CGI, and braindead plots, but the first film is still entertaining and not bad at all. It's a cool sci-fi story with some good action moments, and it happens to be based on a video game series we cover extensively! Instructions on how to sync your playback can be found within the commentary track.

We're launching a commentary series in which we watch good, bad, and laughable movies for your enjoyment! What's a commentary, you say? Well, it's simply a recording of us watching a movie and talking about it in real time. Once we're done, you can take that recording and watch it along with the movie. It'll be like we're in the theater talking too much! Our first movie commentary is for Silent Hill Revelation 3D, the second Silent Hill film adaptation. If you're a long time reader, you may know that I think this film is pretty bad. But that hasn't stopped me from watching the film once again for the launch of this series. We have yet to name this commentary series, so give us some suggestions in the comments! Listen to the recording for syncing instructions.
On this special episode of the Whispers in The Dark podcast, Whitney and I talk to Tomm Hulett and Adam Tierney, the producer and director of Silent Hill: Book of Memories, respectively. Silent Hill: Book of Memories is the newest spinoff in the Silent Hill series. Rather than being a traditional Silent Hill title, BoM is an isometric multiplayer dungeon crawler on the Playstation Vita and because of its drastic gameplay differences, a lot of fans have been wary on accepting the game into the series. Their outcry is hard to ignore. Whitney and I talked to both Tomm and Adam about the feedback from fans, gameplay features, the story, and the game's inception. If you've been on the fence with BoM you might want to sit back and take a listen to the show. The two BoM developers give us the skinny on what they believe to be the most personalized Silent Hill to date.
A few nights ago I had a chat with videogame voice actor Troy Baker. You may know him from his most recent game, Catherine. Troy voiced Vincent Brooks, a man with serious women issues. Those issues will continue now that Troy has been revealed as the new voice actor for Silent Hill 2's James Sunderland in the Silent Hill: HD Collection. If you have yet to play Silent Hill 2, I won't spoil it for you; I'll just say that James has problems with the ladies as well. Troy discusses his thoughts on the original James Sunderland's actor Guy Cihi; how he started voice acting; his relationship with the Silent Hill series; as well as how much fun he had working on Catherine.
