The Room 209 Family Photograph, as you never saw it before

INTACT.

I'm so awesome.

(The name has been changed to protect the incestuous.)

Also, I'm not sure what happened to the photo, as I can't seem to access it. I'll try to find it again. Of course, there's a better, totally intact version of it somewhere in the thread anyway.

I delved into the texture files of SH2's PC version. It was buried within. I didn't piece it back together or anything, it came just as you see it. The only changes I made was doubling the size and cleaning up some of the pixel noise.

I've found a LOT of really awesome stuff besides this, too. I'm hoping to include it all as a part of the relaunched site, pending Vixx's approval.

Looks that way.

Looks like Chester the Molester is a beefy John Kerry lookalike, too.

I love going through the texture files. I only have SH3 on PC, but there are all sorts of goodies in there. Your avatar is from the SH3 textures, isn't it?

That was some diligent work on your part. They take forever to go through thoroughly. I wonder why it was included there if it doesn’t appear in the game?

Mine is actually a screengrab from the Prison in SH2.

If there is a way I can get you to send me the texture files from SH3, that would be awesome. I'd love to add those goodies to the pile too, but I don't own the game, and neither of my pooters could run it.

I can try bundle them into a zip file if you'd like.

I swear that those cookies are in the bakery textures for SH3. There are all sorts of interesting things, like the Lady Maria poster, the fact they clearly rip of the ketchup bottles in Happy Burger from Heinz, the flyer for 'Crispy, Toasted Dead', Alessa's birthday card to Claudia... I have screen caps of most of those things.

I would very much like. I want to see it all!

I've found lots of other things too, such as a box of Del Monte bananas, a prison roster for Alcatraz (with prisoners divvied up by race), a lunch menu in the prison, and a Heaven's Night wall clock.

Ha, I found a poster of the Dallas Cowboys' WR Michael Irvin. It's in the room where you first meet Eddie.

The little details you find in the textures is amazing. They're a great way to appreciate the effort the artists went to without worrying about getting yourself munched on.

That really was a gem of a find.

It's on the floor of the Mirror room after she leaves.

Angela is supposed to be Hispanic...something says to me that Team Silent just used a random stock photo of a family. Maybe its a "came-with-the-frame" family picture?

She doesn't look hispanic to me, maybe Tom Orosco was her stepdad, married her mom when Angela was a baby

Orosco is a Hispanic surname, but it doesn't necessarily mean she is herself. She doesn't look or sound Hispanic, after all.

re: Looking hispanic

My mother is Caucasian and my father is Chinese, and I look Hawaiian. So it's normal to look something else when your family is of different origins. :lol:

I also thought they just used random photo stock too. Could be possible since the makers probably didn't expect someone to dig this up.
