General Random Thoughts: Biohazard/Resident Evil edition

Generally, I like the story in every game. I even like Survivor. LOL. There's nothing bad about the plot in any of the games (Umbrella Corps being a rare exception, because that's the absolute worst game in the entire franchise). But some of it does feel a bit tacked on nonetheless. I'd really like to know what some of the characters are doing right now outside of remakes. Like, what's up with Jill or Billy Coen?

I'm happy that Chris' design is supposedly being altered again. I don't care if he doesn't 100% look like his RE5 or 6 self anymore. Just... change him in a way to where he does at least not fully look like that boring shemp in 7. Uh!

I like the scene in Vendetta where Rebecca brings up Leon's prior dealings with the parasites, and Leon brushes her off by saying, "That was a long time ago, that I barely remember it". Well, I don't recall exactly what he said to her, although I really like that scene. Chris should have also mentioned that he had alcohol problems himself following the loss of his men, and Capcom wasted that opportunity. Leon was really great in that movie, though, and I kind of tire of people saying he's overrated. However, I will admit that games and movies that feature him tend to be too action heavy, and lack the scares of the right old games. But if Capcom heard that line now, they'd be like, "Leon is right. We need a RE4 remake, as it has been forever!" But we really don't. :D

Last night, I tuned into Michael Does Life's latest live stream. I know he has a bit of a reputation for behaving like a troll, but he does have entertaining videos, and he's sometimes on form. But I had connection issues due to the weather, and I went for a walk in the rain as my flat was very clammy, and I've had vomiting spells really badly lately, so yeah. It's been a bad last while. After I tried to take shelter though, I had issues because the dampness began affecting my phone, making it hard to type out messages with the super chat feature. He put up a good video about Resident Evil 8: Village prior to that, so I was looking forward to his stream beginning at 6 PM Eastern Time, hoping we'd get a lot of good banter going about the upcoming game. Turned out to be nothing but a load of nonsense this time with nothing remotely about the series except for what he's already said in past streams, unfortunately. Plus, some troll kept abusing me in the chat section, copying and pasting the same insults.

I only post on about 3 forums now, including Biohaze. I think forums are a dying medium in this day and age, quite frankly. When I first came across forums in the early 2000s, you used to get around 50 users signed in at once, and when you refreshed the page, it would astonish me how many new replies there would be. That was the heyday of message boards. Now everybody is on Facebook, YouTube, instant messaging programs, and all that. YouTube sadly, is starting to suck as well. That's sad how you need 1000 subscribers to live stream from your phone. By far one of the site's ultimate features, primarily axed because of this COPPA shit. You're NEVER going to get that many followers unless you have the most amazing of content to offer people, and a lot of free time to run a channel. It would basically have to be your life, to some degree.

I don't know. Maybe the Internet has ran its course in many ways. I couldn't even sign up to ResetEra, which has a lot of interesting chit-chat going on right now. They only allow registration with a domain email address, which I don't have. So I was declined. But anyway, this is his newest stream. It doesn't help that a lot of viewers go way off topic, so the flow of the conversation becomes so disengaged. And yeah, I do agree that the YouTuber called Nemesis wants to get in bed with Capcom. That guy used to be a really sound bloke, who said it like it needed to be said. But not anymore. It's kind of sad to see that man acting like a shill today, like he has finally sold out.

Hell, I would love to, but A, nobody watches me and B, well, Google disallows anybody with under 1000 subs to record on their mobile now.

I read up about Nemesis today, being linked to the Las Plagas. Seems like it's a giving that RE4 will happen, and possibly destroy more greatness. ?

Also, I joined my first forum in May of 2003. Here's to 16 rocky years. ?

I called in around the 47 minutes mark, but the connection was not too great. ?

Yeah. I feel the same way. I felt these games were basically excuses to bring back the main characters, but the other side of the games in terms of their importance seems to be all but ignored now. Yes, hopefully RE8 addresses this problem. There's no point in throwing stuff into the franchise if they'd choose to ignore it thereafter. For example, what did Ada do after 2013? What is Billy doing now? How is Ark not still Leon's buddy? Meh.

Is this the sort of reply you were looking for, Caffeine Addict...? ;)

Nah, man. But how are these bots getting on here anyway? I thought they had to complete a picture match verification game to register.

Anyway, tonight is of course the PS5 reveal. So we will hopefully be hearing about RE8, and what else? Maybe that alleged Silent Hill reboot too. ;)
