I have done a thing, with actual meaning. That is I've recording myself talking, but I make valid points about how mods and games are doing the same shit as everyone else. Then I counteract all those points by stating that I will be making more videos doing the same shit as everyone else.

On the topic of horror games:
FEAR is fucking terrible.
There are much better games out there to draw inspiration from. Games that deal with terrifying ideas in subtle, disturbing and deceptive ways. FEAR is the horror equivalent of a jack-in-the-box.

Reminds me of when Spoony was reviewing Sinister and Paranormal Activity 4, he was mentioning how horror games try and use orchestral jump-scares to startle crowds.
He says one of the best ways to keep an unsettling feeling is to try and make something take place in complete silence, like watching video of a family being hanged, and a child creeping up to go SHHH to the camera with nothing but the ambient sound of a rattling projector showing the film.

A horror-themed real-time strategy game would still just be a real-time strategy game with creepy audio, dark graphics and blood.
Amnesia or even Condemned are more up my ally.
