Found Dunwich Building in Fallout 3. Spent an hour or so tramping through it. Even though I'm seventeenth level and decked out in Tesla Armour and armed with a Plasma Rifle, it's still terrifying to hear the shrieking of feral ghouls for some reason. That, and the computer logs and audio files. And the chanting dear gods the chanting.

I have done that. That sudden terror if your sense of up and down temporarily flips. *shudder*

Dammit, beat me to it. Also: Read that comic this morning. Made walking to my Co-op placement absolutely terrifying.

Dunwich... a fictional, and possibly real, town in the Lovecraft book "The Dunwich Horror".

I wonder how related it is.

Very. The Dunwich building has that name for a reason.

Yes. I'm quite familiar with that. "The Dunwich Horror" has to be my second favourite of Lovecraft's works. First place goes to either "At the Mountains of Madness" or "The Shadow Out of Time".

This. So much this. Seems most 'horror' nowadays consists of cheap scare tactics. At least from what I can gather.

There are two reasons to cosplay:

1) To look like a specific character.
2) To fail at #1 and utterly embarrass yourself.

Note that #2 isn't necessarily bad :)

Don't click this link: "Manfaye"

So glad I wasn't drinking anything.

My favorite fever dream was probably the one where a man was using a psychedelically colored diagram that looked like planets orbiting around a sun to explain Keynesian economics.

There are others, but they were so terrifying, I suppose, that I've repressed them...

Has anybody ever had a fever /sex/ dream?

@Footjob, you can microwave most grains I've tried pretty easily through the microwave, even if they aren't packaged for it.

I once had a sex dream that seems like it was fever-induced. But it wasn't. Suffice to say, I do not look good in a french maid's outfit. And that was the least disturbing part of it.

...I really need therapy.
