noodles Wow, it's really been this long since the site launched? And it's really been this long for the new design to go up?
I blame commercialism, since it's keeping me too busy.
Now, since this little mistake I made launched the redesign too early I guess I'll have to finish the programming as well. Oy vey.

Resident Evil

Audio; it's more important than you think.

The Resident Evil franchise, know by the more story-based-appropriate title in Japan: "Biohazard", has gone on for over 10 years. The high sales-numbers are not from the launch-weekend, but from different versions that are slowly seeping off the shelves across all the years. While the latest numeral iteration came out this year for the current-gen consoles, I took a trip down video-game-history-lane and in an attempt to explore my recently discovered discomfort with horror-games experienced the Nintendo GameCube-remake of the Sony PlayStation title Resident Evil; on my Wii.

Being one of the original titles from the "survival-horror" genre, I'm guessing that anticipation played a big part of my comfortless relation to the game. I do, however believe that the updated visuals and audio of the remake may have helped my (way too easy) immersion.

You get to play one of two characters, Jill Valentine or Chris Redfield. What character you pick only affects the game slightly, or so I've heard, so I went with the guy for no other reason than him being a guy. Don't get me wrong, I'm not unfamiliar with playing female characters.
