I looked it up, what is it
it's a youtube horror video series. and if you watch a few of them and think "wow this is lame, i'm leaving" don't. you'll regret it. it takes a little while before it starts to pick up, but trust me, it gets REALLY good. i'd honestly rank that series on par with amnesia for scariness Smile

RE: Infrasound and frictional games

I remember reading something about this recently. One hypothesis is that a human being's reaction to the sound is an evolutionary leftover. Apparently, tigers purr or growl (very) lowly when they're about to pounce, and this is supposed to be a sort of "sixth sense" that helped keep our ancestors alive in such situations.

I watched through the whole channel last night and it literally gave me nightmares, I woke up really really early this morning cold sweating, it was freaking horrible. I kinda regret watching it Sad

You're going to be very hard pressed with find any speaker systems, especially in PC environments, capable of playing back infrasound. More like you'll need a transducer for that.

I don't know why, but movies have a much greater impact on me emotionally than games for some reason. For example, I played through Amnesia no probs but this series scared the living shit out of me (probably because it was realistically done). Anyhow, be careful that you don't make him faint xD
