Ægrus Somnium

if you’ve ever talked to me about video games you’ll know that i LOVE video games, have since the first day i got an nes when it came out, and i’ve played nearly every day since then give or take a few days, and again if you’ve talked to me of games you know i’m addicted to two specific series of games, the final fantasy games, which i am nearly complete regaining all of them again (due to financial issues had sold some of my games and systems off a few years back), and the Silent Hill games, whcih again, i need to regain most for my collection but still have my original part 1 non greatest hits from when i first bought it, now i’m not saying these are the best games, no, the best game ever made are resident evil 4 (gamecibe version, possibly to be replaced by the wii version if i ever play my copy), the darkness (360) and shenmue (dreamcast), i also love shadowrun, which i have both snes and genesis versions of just need the crappy 360 one to finish that collection, anyways this is about silent hill not those other games, i never heard of this place and its realy not that far, only like a state below me, and i want to go there really bad, it’s like a living silent hill (movie silent hill) and in fact the movie is actually loosely based on this place, hell even the roads going to it have the road closed detour signs, only a few people still live there, the us postal service revoked it’s zip code and its been taken off maps, this place is centralia pennsylvania, the deal is that it has a massively rich cola deposit beneath the city that was mined, and they had a pit they burned garbage in, well the burn pit caught some exposed coal on fire and the fire has been burning underneath the town since 1962 and still burns to this day, in some places, as you can see in the pictures on the site, the ground smokes and is hot to the feel and no vegitation can grow there, houses have collapsed, roads have collapsed and sink holes are seen in various places in the ground, one guy had a sink hole open under him and he caught on to some tree roots and was helped out by his cousin, it’s just crazy and i want to go there so bad

on a side note the halo 3 screenshot in my live group has ended, it turned into more of a popularity contest, the winner had good shots, better then mine, but the other that had more votes had worse screenshots, i got my vote and my brothers and thats it, lame
