    Del from Detroit, me, can attest to there being some seriously whack people around these parts. Being that I work at a game store I've had my fair share of batpoop crazies.

    I thought Detroit was a ghost town, with overgrowth and decaying buildings as far as the eye could see.

    It might be a good spot for an archaeological dig.

    @Bouchart: Detroit actually has some really nice areas. I really love the city. It's very diverse and it taught me alot about other cultures and ways of life that most people don't get living in the suburbs.

    Plus Robo-Cop was filmed here.....

    @Bouchart: That's just the car factories.

    The rest of the Detroit has been converted to a sort of natural preserve for idiots.

    All that bailout money had to go to something...it certainly wasn't making the key industry in that city any more competitive.

    Being from Detroit, naturally I take offense to this. I wish I had words to describe how much of an ass I think you are for making this statement.

    This didn't even happen in Detroit. It was in Troy, but I guess that doesn't sound as cool.

    Sounds like you've stumbled on the general problem. No one cares.

    But go ahead. Keep talking shit about a place I'd be willing to bet that you've never been to. Someday if your areas main source of income is pulled right out from under you, I hope you enjoy it.

    The police got there before he got back from his walk to his car to get what was probably the stun gun? That's one hell of a response time.

    I live in Detroit, the biggest surprise is that the police arrived on time after being called to actually prevent something from happening.

    Basically what I'm saying is in Detroit:

    @ZenGaijin: Guess things really haven't changed much since 1980. I worked at a Hudson Oil just inside of Warren Mi then. We got robbed, and even though the cops were just down the street, it took them 35 minutes to get there.

    8 Mile still pretty rough?

    @ZenGaijin: I haven't been up there in many years; it was pretty bad in 1980 (this was the time Chrysler came out with those "K" cars, courtesy of Lee Iacocca), and one of the car plants down the street told it's workers that if they drove a foreign-made car they couldn't park at the plant. I guess the executives weren't parking there either, or they seriously thought that Mercedes was one of the Big Three ^_^.

    I remember seeing the burned buildings that had been up since the 1967 or 8 riots (this was near the Henry Ford Hospital though, as I recall).

    But it was also when I got introduced to my first big videogame arcade; that was a blast. So I have some good memories from then too.

    Man, I live in a messed up country.

    By the way, Owen: The adjective for the Netherlands is "Dutch". Just thought you might want to know that, since the headline sounds a bit strange this way.

    Pardon my ignorance, but is there really a puzzle that requires a toothbrush to solve? I've never played Silent Hill, so I honestly don't know.

    You laugh and laugh at this, until the scary thought hits you.

    If this guy believes he is in Silent Hill so much as to cut power to the hospital looking for a toothbrush... he lives in a scary, scary world, my friends. He is being kept in a hospital full of demons and monsters and nobody around him believes him. They tell him hes being crazy.

    I mean, at this point, the guy is living in the real life silent hill. There is no game anymore for him. The whole idea of Silent Hill being something that you're trapped in and affects you differently while you're removed from the real world is REAL to him.

    Laugh as much as you want. I did. But pity the fuck out of this man, because hes living in one of the most nightmarish worlds possible, that we've actually been able to witness first hand.
