Destructoid's homage to Silent Hill: Shattered Memories photo

You've seen the art for the upcoming Wii, PS2, and PSP game Silent Hill: Shattered Memories, haven't you? There's all of two images right now: one is of an unattractive logo for the game and the other is of Harry Mason (above), who seems to be clutching his chest while he...

...orders a pizza?

....calls Geico to get his car insurance?

...calls his GPS provider as he seems to be lost in Silent Hill?

...calls in his heart medication prescription?

...calls his agent to find out why he's in such a fugly artist's rendition?

The very minute these images hit the Destructoid offices, we began to mock appreciate them. It's just that...um, okay...so, we're as*holes. Our heartfelt apologies to the artist. And don't hate us, Konami. We love Silent Hill. We love Harry Mason and his new look. But most of all, we love...paying tribute to games. That's why we've put together this collection, this artistic homage to the art of Silent Hill: Shattered Memories.

In our gallery below you'll find that every member of the Destructoid staff has reached deep within themselves to offer up an interpretation of this image of Harry Mason through photography. We hope that this collection of work inspires you to create and share your intrepretations as well.

Everyone seems to really enjoy poking fun at that image, and I don't blame them, it's so unintentionally hilarious.

Anyway, he probably has a really bad itch. Or he's clutching at his battery-powered chest magnet which keeps shrapnel from flowing into his heart, because he is really Iron Man. I'm going with the latter myself.

He's clearly calling his heroin dealer. Classic feening pose.

Also, Papa Burch at the end made me burst out with a big ol' belly laugh. Fortunately, nobody was home that I'd have to explain this to.

How about he's listening to a marketer telling him that he's paying to much for his long distance service and he's clucthing his hand into a fist as he is realizing that he has indeed been paying to much for his long distance service.

Sounds like this could be an AWESOME Silent Hill......

I just realized he's the Can You Her Me now guy, and he's obviously stuck with a Motorola phone. He's upset at such a situation.

I thought Homecoming sucked and was way overrated by you guys, so I remain very skeptical of this game

but this is an awesome parody

He was calling someone, but they just hung up on him, so now he clutches his chest.

Also, Papa Burch, awesome.

I think we're thinking on too small a scale. This is provably the best thing any gaming website has ever done, possibly even greater than that.

We're talking Internet renaissance here.
