The Henry Stillman Radio Broadcasts

Posted by EKublai - December 12th, 2014


Inspired by friend Gabriel Urbina's recent posts tributing classic and modern radio drama, I wanted to share this little gem. Though technically used as background noise in the context of a larger alien invasion story in a video game, The "Henry Stillman Radio Broadcasts", an "only heard" side plot about a Philadelphia radio personality reporting the harrowing happenings on 4th street as he sits trapped within his own broadcasting studio, proved to be the highlight of the game when it came to evoking the human casualty of Resistance 2's narrative. All told its 15 minutes of concise and phenomenally acted piece of invasion theater. Enjoy.

It should be noted that these broadcasts do occur at specific points in the game which occurs over a period of weeks, though the events are only broadly connected. I still think they work as long as you keep in mind that the story time between broadcasts is significant. This, for example, is why Henry is running out of food.
