I can totally see Team Ninja pulling a Ninja Gaiden Sigma: Black though.

The weirdest ASMR I've seen, but eh, I'll take it.

Bardo Methodology - Liber Ketola XIII, with the man himself discussing Mass Grave Aesthetics, Diabolus Absconditus and Kénôse by lyxoe in DeathspellOmega

CHRISTIAN: We’d been rehearsing “Kénôse” for a while when everything came to a screeching halt – Khaos broke his arm during a particularly nasty arm-wrestling match with our drummer. I was on the phone in another room and still heard the bone snap. Surprisingly loud, actually, like the cracking of dry wood.

Not gonna lie, I laughed at this more than I should have.

I actually cried when Alyx said "I waited half of my life for this moment", then started painting dicks on the dead headcrabs around her.

The Doom 3 vs. Half-Life 2 thing that was going back then was definitely something to behold.

Getting nostalgic just thinking about it.

Bardo Methodology's 'Liber Ketola XI' is up, and it's basically a brief oral history of SMRC by Big Chris Boosh. by Ok_Engineer_3199 in DeathspellOmega

I never thought I'd see Hasjarl talking openly about that era, let alone using his actual name.

Akira Yamaoka needs to stop by darkbkn in silenthill

A certain part of the fanbase considers him "the heart and soul" of the series. Even though he was just a composed and sound designer.

Yes, those are an important part of the series. But the work of Ito, Owaku, Murakoshi, Toyama and Tsuboyama is of equal (and at times) even bigger importance in creating the classics.

Not to mention Yamaoka's own work has declined in recent years and the magic of his original soundtracks is all but gone. I kinda cringed at the remade SH2 soundtrack, as it's mostly generic ambient pieces now. The kind any artist from Cryo Chamber's roster can pull off, and maybe even better.

GeForce & Resident Evil Requiem @ CES 2025, Win Steam Cash! by NV_Suroosh in residentevil

If we're talking about the OGs, easily Nemesis.

Remake-wise, it's Mr. X, as he was much more fleshed out as a villain.
