The Day I Hated Konami
I hate Konami.
I don’t really. Obviously. They gave the world two of my favourite games series of all time - Silent Hill and Metal Gear - but wtf, the arsing about with the PAL release of Silent Hill: Homecoming has just been farcical. One minute it’s aligned with the US release, the next it’s a week later, the next it’s after fucking Christmas. JUST GIVE ME A DATE YOU BASTARDS. It’s bad enough knowing that my US friends have already ripped the shrink-wrap off of this gorgeous, gross little game, but it’s worse still not to know when I’m going to get the chance to do the same. As I type this, Amazon UK aren’t even listing the game (least not when you search for ’silent hill’ anyways - but then Amazon aren’t overly reliable with game releases), whereas Play.com states 31st October. That seems to be the date sported by most sites, but it pisses me off that I don’t actually know . . . and I’ll kill myself if I get my heart set on the 31st only to find the game pushed back again.
I’ve put in my pre-order for Dead Space though, so I should be kicking the shit out of corpses and aliens within a fortnight. I know I’ve oversold this game to death but seriously - when did I ever lie to you? Didn’t I tell you that the Bee Movie sucked? See - I’d never lie to you. And this game is awesome. Char believes me - you should too.
Methinks that all this senseless zombie killing may be good for my bad gunky - I could do with some cathartic ass-kicking.

I know. I was so bummered to hear it’s not a simultaneous release. :/

I noticed they’ve been changing the date on Silent Hill Homecoming too, WTF I mean seriously. Stick with a damn release date!
Damn right I believe you, I’m so excited to get Dead Space, this may be good for my bad gunky too ;)

It has been banned over here in Oz! :( We only have a 15 rating not 18.
It’d probably too scary to play anyhoo…

Yeah, that sucks :x I was just talking with some other people about how “release dates” are never actually right, you have to go by “shipping date” and blah blah, anyway, don’t read anything about it because that’s how I always get spoiled ;)

What’s been banned, Dave? SH or Dead Space? Think I knew about the latter, but the former . . . ?
You’re right to avoid those spoilers, Liz - me too. There are sections of the forum I just won’t visit. :p
Let’s kill that gunky, Char!

Yeah, yeah - SH. I Don’t know much about Dead Space… *has a read*… that could be a good one. Sounds like a futuristic BioShock. Geez, that was scary too.
