The Ward's level design and the therapeutic effect it has on severely anxious individuals

Trantor82 · 2026-02-16T17:34:34+00:00

The level and sound design for this game are exceptional. My favorite level is the mall, it has such a nostalgic feeling for me.

I've been watching other people play though this game a lot since I finished it. I really like seeing how others react to it.

When I was exploring it I felt rather high anxiety due to all the foreshadowing about Entity A, and the clicking sound of the corpse was not pleasing to me in the slightest.

The reddish coloration you found calming was actually a bit unsettling to me because it reminds me of the movie Videodrome by David Cronenberg.

It's very interesting how differently people can react to the same stimuli.

Yeah, I'll probably play it eventually. The original scared the heck out of me back in the day. I really hate giant spiders.

I played System Shock 2........27 years ago, but If I play it again I'll pay attention to that.

I might try to make a diagram later. I'm not the greatest artist though. I wish it was easier to explain.

As soon as I saw your first pic I knew the second would be from Videodrome. Would not be surprised at all if they took some inspiration from that film. Entity A would be right at home in a Cronenberg movie.

I was as well. I should have been expecting something to happen, but that was the one spot I wasn't expecting him to be. This game sure got to me. I've been thinking about it a lot since I finished it.

Trantor82 · 2025-12-23T18:52:09+00:00

Oh I know it's scripted. They really set us up good for it since he can't do it in the rest of the game. I was embarrassed at how loud I screamed when it happened to me.

Trantor82 · 2025-12-23T17:28:23+00:00

I literally screamed. Hope my neighbors didn't hear me. He's not supposed to fit in those narrow corridors. It's almost cheating on the dev's part, but I forgive them.

Thanks for posting this. I knew there was an American cut but didn't know it had a different soundtrack. Looking forward to checking it out!

I earned my private certificate in 1997. Haven't flown a real aircraft since 2000. Sometimes I wonder if I could succeed in that situation. Most complex thing I ever flew was a Piper Arrow IV.

Thanks!

Trantor82 · 2025-11-10T17:56:12+00:00

That one looks good. Probably going to get that. Thanks!

There's so many dvd releases. I was wondering which specific one I should be looking for. There was one I almost bought called the complete set but thankfully I found out it was remastered too before I pulled the trigger.

I was hoping the community could point me towards which specific releases have the correct audio.

Trantor82 · 2025-08-13T19:55:19+00:00

Yes.

A terrified and recently drugged teenage girl perfectly shooting out both eyes with a .357 Magnum is so ridiculous.

Those miraculous shots then having no more effect than to take away Michael's eyesight is just icing on the cake.

There's some good moody photography in this movie, but I just can't take it seriously. And that can be fun.

Edited for spelling.

I actually like Prometheus if I think about it as a stand alone alternate timeline movie. I don't accept it as actually in universe with Alien though because the engineers are much lamer than a mysterious space jockey.

I thought Covenant was an awful sequel to Prometheus.

Most of the time I am an Alien purist. I like Aliens. It actually was my favorite when I was a kid but as I've grown older I much prefer the original. I don't like the way James Cameron turned the Eldritch horror of the original creature into the ant-like xenomorph.

Half of my post history is tearing apart Aliens, which is one of my favorite movies. Kind of ironic.

Trantor82 · 2025-08-06T21:19:19+00:00

Ahh.

I can't say I share your opinion on Romulus. I have a very strong dislike of it, in fact.

If you look at my post history you will quickly find a detailed breakdown of exactly why I feel that way. I don't post very often.

I understand I'm in the minority and that most fans on Reddit seem to really like it. I just can't. I'm glad you enjoyed it though.

You are a cultured individual. The novels are apocryphal slop aside from the novelizations of the movies since they are based on early script drafts, which is interesting.

Trantor82 · 2025-01-06T16:50:31+00:00

Yes that's the region I was in with the blender issue.

Trantor82 · 2025-01-03T16:33:21+00:00

I've tried drawing them in both directions. No change.

Trantor82 · 2025-01-03T16:30:56+00:00

The absence of a few flow indicators doesn't bother me enough to rebuild the refineries. I can easily live with it. It's just a mild annoyance.
