ikana canyon, the whole area

the dead look of everything, the graveyard, the music box house, the gibdos everywhere

ughh

though that was my favorite area in the game because of its atmosphere alone

ikana canyon is the definition of unsettling, especially without the garo mask because those dialog boxes always pop up about something wanting your blood or whatever.

god i hope i get to replay majora this winter break

No offense to her but she kinda doesn't know crap about shit

that's weird but i also get this funny feeling whenever i jump from a high place in a video game but i think that's normal

Walking into empty rooms in a lot of games can be extremely unsettling. You are always hyped when playing games like say, Half-Life, and this room, so much effort to get to, all this way...

And it's completely empty. Nothing there to even interact with besides the door you came in.

i know a lot of people mention this, but i really do not like that crazy dentist in bioshock, mostly because he just stands there. he'll never even attack you, even if you turn around and look right back at him.

also, nothing unsettles me more than those weird, spastic game crashes in old games where it makes a bunch of garbled noises and the screen goes nuts

imagine playing a game and the game thinks you pirated it even though you didn't :'(

i had the original donkey kong country suddenly quit on me and then go to an anti-emulation screen

only game i ever experienced it in, and it hasn't happened since

One time I was playing Kirby Superstar; I was at the Dynablade level/episode/whatever

I got teleported to Marx for no goddamn reason and the graphics and sound were fucked up and I didn't sleep that night :'(
