Where was I? Oh yeah, being stabbed in LA.

So it turns out there is a small possibility that there was no stabbing at our hotel last week. In my defense, let me tell you what I saw: There were SEVERAL uniformed police officers all over the hotel, and also a LARGE HANDFUL of plain-clothes detectives, and A LADY with rubber gloves. Plus, there was yellow, “Police Line Do Not Cross” tape everywhere. What were we supposed to think, except for, “Stabbing?” And hey, we weren’t the ones who started the rumor. I actually don’t remember who said the word “stabbing” first, but once we heard it, we knew that it was right. It just felt true. Even though it kinda wasn’t.

Here’s the real scary thing: The room where everything was going down was the very room in which we, ourselves, should have been sleeping! We changed rooms at the last minute, and we thought we were doing it because of the cracks in the bathtub, but now I realize we were having a psychic premonition! A premonition that would have SAVED OUR LIVES if there had actually been a stabbing.

Speaking of make-believe murder and blood, I went to an Alice Cooper concert this weekend. When he played, “Welcome to My Nightmare,” I flashed back to my memories of his appearance on the Muppet Show when I was a kid. He played that song on the show and they made special, evil, nightmare Muppets to play with him, and one of the Muppets had a metallic triangle for a head and I thought it was super freaky and scary.

This guy could fade in and fade out at will, which makes him even freakier. And only now have I realized that Triangle Head from Silent Hill is just a rip off of Alice Cooper’s evil Muppet guitarist!

The Muppet Show did everything first!
And they did it with felt.

FIRST ahahaha I hate myself.

It sounds like you barely escaped with your lives. Maybe you should call that guy from Unsolved Mysteries and he could make a show about it where he stands around in the shadows in a trenchcoat and you say “It was the freakiest thing! We came within an inch of our lives!”

-I’d- certainly watch it.

I’d watch it. I mean, I’d have to move to America or get Sky or something, but I’d so watch it.

Is Tim friends with Pyramid Head?! THE Pyramid Head? And those manaquines (or however you spell it) of his?!

Or mabey PH and that muppet are them same people, but now it’s grown up and has a large knife?


Posted by Subzeroace on 10/05 at 05:52 PM

I still love you Pyramid Head, even if you are a Muppet. (altho I also love Muppets =O)


Posted by GenoForPrez on 10/05 at 05:59 PM

SO WHAT HAPPENED!?

I’m on the edge of my seat in a barely non-broken chair, Tim. Does it make you happy putting me into this kind of danger?


Posted by Apple Pop on 10/05 at 06:35 PM

Yes. Tim is very satisifed with your danger...!


Posted by Cowhat Ninja on 10/05 at 07:49 PM

Well, there are other possibilities. It might have been a clubbing. Or a smiting. You never know when you might get smitten...you always have to be very careful about saying on the god’s good sides.

You know, the Pyramid Head thing sounds like an Unsolved Mysteries episode, too. “A mysterious, violent manifestation of a man’s guilt--spotted years earlier, playing guitar for a shock rocker on a family puppet show. Is this REALLY the same Pyramid Head? Tonight, on Unsolved Mysteries.”

Man, I have got to stop watching so much Lifetime.

Other things Silent Hill 2 blatantly stole from old episodes of The Muppets:

- Themes of Repressed Guilt
- Quasi-sexual Monsters
- The Rainbow Connection

Hey as we’re talking about Silent, did anybody there ever manage to kill a Pyramid Head in SH2? I mean, not the last two ones, but the ones that appear during the game?


Posted by TimTheEnchanter on 10/07 at 11:25 PM

Was that the Queensrÿche, Alice Cooper, Heaven & Hell concert in Fresno that I drove 17 hours from Seattle and skipped one day of work and three days of class to go see?  That show was AWESOME!


Posted by Tikara on 10/08 at 12:02 AM

FlaMäxil, those Pyramid Heads are invincible. They’re placed to try and kill you from going on father :0 it’s very complicated, and only a real SH nerd like myself can understand it X3


Posted by ProggleRock on 10/09 at 09:20 AM

Hmm, I see you’ve cut off Pyramid Head’s feet. CLUE!


Posted by Mr. Shine on 10/09 at 10:10 AM

Hey Tim! I know you’re listening so spill the beans! Why didn’t we get a pitcure of your feet being almost stabbed eh? Are you hinding something from us? Some dark secret? I think all of us at Double Fine Action News deserve to know.


Posted by plachenko on 10/09 at 06:23 PM

Alice Cooper concert? Last time I checked Alice Cooper was opening for Ronnie James Dio…

Roadie “Eddie Riggs” could take Triangle Head. He rocks like that.

Speaking of Eddie Riggs.. how about some official Double Fine News on this:

Credit goes to Iksenpets for originally posting that image on the forums btw. I can’t wait to find out more about this game and how awesome it rocks.

While you were stabbing in Los Angeles, the cat was let out of the bag.

I’m glad you had cracks in your tub smile.  I remember that Alice Cooper did that song, but I forgot about Pyramid Head.  Jim Henson was the bomb.
