If you do convert it into video game format, be sure to have a weather channel on the TV they can check... With a very low dependability on the forecast, just like real life.

It'd more be a mechanic than a full game. It's kind of symbolic cause the constant paranoia about whether or not you were mad would inevitably drive you insane.

It may just be because its 10:30, but Amnesia got me so scared so fast I couldn't keep playing past the demi-tutorial area.
I will most definitely only be playing this during the day when everyone is awake and in the house. XD

[scriver]

Same thing happened to me, and I don't scare easily. Then I also got pissed of at myself for falling for such overused scare tricks. But it's different when it's a game, I guess.

The idea of both how close and how far I am to being able to program my own game.

Also, inputting bitmaps and the file stream in general.

A friend of a friend's profile picture on Facebook.  The horrors.  The more I watch that face, the more terrified I become.

Shores of Hazeron.  I had no idea that it could be a horror game.

Except that at night...it's pitch-goddamn-black.  And sometimes the only time you know there's anything there is that you're building along and suddenly the labor window says "STOP!  Wild animal present!"  And you look around and you can't see anything.  Nothing.  Because your colony doesn't have its power plant up.  In fact, I was at that very moment trying to get a road out to the new hydro plant site, so that just increases the survival-horror aspect right there.

So I flail around a little...back off...it seems like the critter is wandering in and out of the tile so I say okay, well, I'll just go stab it...if I can find it.  And I whip out my torch.

First thing I notice is this flying thing divebombing my face, and those are SCARY.  (Not least because those critters often kill you dead.)  I react a lot like someone who had a bat fly into their face.  Then I turn and...there's this humanoid with shiny skin.  Just standing there.  Staring.  Staring at me, not moving, shining in the torchlight.  Oh dear god I scrambled the hell out of there because that was way scarier than anything else.

So later on that night, the site seems to be clear, so I fetch the resources and...oh, my last wrench broke, better go hit up the machine shop and start making new ones.  On the way back I hear something that doesn't quite sound right.  So I turn on the light and there's this creepy beetle thing which is kind of scary, yeah, and I figure okay it's time to book it out of here.  And then it falls over in a spray of blood, and this twenty foot tall monster with eight fucking eyes WHIPS its neck down to chomp on it, then it turns and looks right at me.  OH FUCK OH FUCK RECALL OH FUCK

...I didn't make it in time.

EDIT:  Oh, and apparently it ripped my environment suit helmet off, too.  If aliens shredding through a space marine's helmet in a potentially-lethal environment aren't a horror trope, I don't know what is.

Not really today, but this was one moment that made me genuinely at least a bit creeped out. I was reading the last part of the introduction of House of Leaves, and while reading Truant's last paragraphs, a blackout happens. So suddenly I'm reading a text talking about how terrifying darkness can be, and suddenly everything is pitch black.
Nobody else was awake, so nobody noticed except me, it lasted about 10 seconds. Those were the scariest 10 seconds I've had in months.

This book is awesome.

found a old m-80 in my closet so i feelt this was a good time to blow it up. the stuff was so old the damn thing exploded in my hand the moment i lit it. luckily i got Matrix skills and turned my body around. I so deaf right now like the time my dad blew his muzzle-loader behind my head during hunting. (i had to be near the end of the barrel)

[MetalSlimeHunt]

Are you certain that it was an M-80? Those things have the explosive force of a quarter-stick of dynamite. Even aged and turned around, I'd expect you to be short an arm after that.

[Tellemurius]

.....it said M-80 on it. I played with dangerous stuff so i built up some form of reaction for protection.

[Sowelu]

Oh Leslie Arzt.  We knew you so very, very briefly.

I have a heart condition. I've had it all my life. If I take too heavy of a hit, my heart will basically just start flailing instead of pumping, and then I will die. I played football for three years, and did karate and MMA for five years. Holy shit.

I must have acciedentally clicked on the collapse button for Finally... because it had been, well, collapsed, and I didn't see the headliner bar. I thought Toady had gotten sick of the drama and had nuked the entire subforum. I even made a panicked comment on the steam group >.>
