I'm NOT Arachnophobic BUT...

[schiz0phren1c]

The Spiders in Grimrock are scaring the Bejaysus out of me!
I was Skyping my buddy while playing a while ago,telling him how great Grimrock is,when I got Spiderbushed
the result was TWO near coronaries,Mine from shock,and his from laughter at my "high pitched girlish squeals"
Damn fine work!.

No no.. No where near as horrible as those flying crow things. When they attack, I flinch almost every time

I like how the flying mobs shove their crotches in your face. Wicked cool pelvis thrust.

I am arachnophobic, I bought the game but I must admit that I'm a bit concerned about getting to the part where the spiders are.

Doesn't work that way unfortunately. And it's not a fear, it's a phobia.

By definition, a phobia is the extreme fear of something.

I must admit, I do find it difficult to comprehend how a fear of something, no matter how extreme, can translate to a virtual world. However, I'd never suggest it doesn't. I have the initial "Arrhhh" when something crawls around the corner, or a shadow is spotted out the corner of my eye, but that's what this kind of game is all about. And so far, I've had quite a few shocks!

It's an extreme and irrational fear. The irrational part is extremely important. I don't understand myself why I am arachnophobic. I just am. And I wasn't always.

"As briefly mentioned above, a specific phobia is a marked and persistent fear of an object or situation which brings about an excessive or unreasonable fear when in the presence of, or anticipating, a specific object; furthermore, the specific phobias may also include concerns with losing control, panicking, and fainting which is the direct result of an encounter with the phobia."
