Resident Evil 5



I have been told by quite a few people that Resident Evil 5 is pretty epic. I am generally pretty skeptical when I hear thing like that but enough clamor has been raised that I decided to get the game and give it a try. I really enjoyed playing Fable II, the last game I played that everyone was going ape shit for, at least until I encountered a game ending bug that prevented me from playing it any more. So, bugs aside, hopefully I will enjoy this one as well.

Now, if you know me at all, you know that Zombies, in general, scare the ever living piss out of me. I am certain that playing Left 4 Dead has taken several years off my life. Luckily for me, if this game is on par with the level of scaryness in the movie, I think I will be alright. And since I am a pretty big fan of the movies, it is a bit baffling as to why I have never played any of the games in this series seeing how the movie was based on the game.

In more sort-of-related news, I tried and failed to fix the Xbox 360 red ring of death issue for one of my friends. Im not going to get into the details, but it did involve drilling several holes into the metal inner case. The warranty was already void so I suppose there was no harm in giving it a shot. I really wanted to try the alleged Towel Trick, which involves wrapping the 360 up in towels and letting it run for 10 minutes until it gets so hot that the solder melts itself back into position, but my friend wanted none of that. The thing is now so FUBAR that the fans no longer spin and the DVD drive will not even open. I wonder if would still be possible to send it in to Microsoft and hope they neglect to check if the warranty sticker has been broken and just hope they send a brand new one..

Either way, not my problem, but it was fun taking the whole thing apart.
