    I guess ...

    I'll admit, I do enjoy things like these sometimes.

    Man, I read the story, and my mind starts picturing it. And it looks so fucking scary. I'm a bit scared from it, I'll admit.

    But then, I reach the videos. And I watch the 1st one. And I'm not scared at all. Sometimes I go "woah", but nothing more than that. Gonna watch the 2nd & 3rd, but man, this ain't scaring me much one bit. It's just making me laugh.

    I'm not sure why, but backwards music always terrifying, no matter what it is. The song of healing was so scary, but I found that with the music and the glitches, it added a distorted touch. And seeing Link dead as that music plays....chilling. I didn't think it would be all that scary for the song of healing backwards, if just played on the ocarina, is Saria's song. Of course they used the actual song that plays but I don't know...

    I once had a dream that I was schizophrenic (for anti-depressants give you these weird ass dreams) and these images, which were quick, popped out at me in my head and the images were usually people I am close to screaming or getting shot quickly. That's what those videos reminded me of. A schizophrenic Link. :(

    Yeah, pretty creepy. It's disappointing how it's not real (even though it obviously woudn't be).

    Don't you agree, Zach?

    Wow. I seriously had goosebumps for nearly the entire story. I had completely forgotten about the Elegy of Emptiness statue. That thing has always creeped me out. Man, what a great writer. Throughout the entire story, I felt just like it was actually happening to me. And all the extra interpretation that can go into the story, like what everything means symbolically and whatnot is awesome and it really leaves us hanging, but in a good way. Did Ben drown because of a murderer? If so, was he kidnapped in the middle of playing the game? Were there multiple kidnappers (represented by the salesman and skull kid)? Perhaps the kidnappers moved around a lot and the statue represents a detective always a step behind them and unable to save Ben. Maybe the crooked Link body is what Ben ended up looking like from his kidnappers' torture.

    Okay, maybe I'm reading into it too much or making the story bigger than it is, but that's why I love open-ended stories. I have great respect for this author.

    Anyway, on to the videos. Not as intriguing as the story itself, but a good supplement nonetheless. The scream made me jump as well.
    One last thing, why do people always feel the need to say that something's fake? Just appreciate it for what it is.

    Agreed with Pickle. The writing in this short story was quite high level.

    This sounds like Majora's Mask's equivalent to Moonside!

    Anyhow, great, great read. You don't know how much I wish this were real, but I can't seem to get myself to believe it. I'm not saying it's fake, I'm just saying that sadly I'm a naturally skeptical person. I love this kinda stuff though.

    But like Ash said, the creepy thing is that the Song of Healing is already a song played backwards... At least the ocarina part is. And MM is already a crazy, trippy game in itself, which adds a level of reality to the story.

    And of course the videos aren't going to be scary. The scary part, for the author, would've been actually playing it. Alone. Confused. Disbelieving. All this going on would've created a terrifying atmosphere that couldn't be reproduced by simply watching a recorded video on the computer.

    So, finished watching videos 2 & 3. I wasn't scared with 2, just laughing for the most part. But, 3 did freak me out quite a bit. I'll admit it. I can see how people would be scared from it, but for the most part I was just entertained with the videos. I know I wouldn't want my precious MM cartridge to do that to me while I'm playing...hah.

    But, yes, unfortunately it is fake. It was believable up until the video point where it was OoT shit. Replace it with some MM stuff with the same context, and it becomes believable again.
