LoR: Silent Hill 2

On this week’s episode of The Legend of Retro, CraigWK and TheGlitch are joined by the ArcadePhantom from Noiseland Arcade to discuss a very spooky game, Silent Hill 2. If you know Silent Hill, then you know that this episode takes a very dark turn compared to our usual episode, so listener discretion is advised. There’s an explicit tag on this one for a reason (not for language, but for the content! You have been warned!) ArcadePhantom picks the retro relapse, and the character theme bracket is between someone who fights for his friends and someone who poisons water supplies. Tune in next week for a much lighter episode!
