RE4 == Still Awesome

    So it turns out that I'm defiantly hooked on Resident Evil 4 again.  As said before I'm going to finish it this time and so far the odds of actually finishing it are looking really good.  I'm having such a great time with it, even more so than I can remember.  It does so many things right unlike Resident Evil 5.  Don't get me wrong, I really liked RE5 but it was missing that classic RE tone and I feel that RE4 still had the RE horror that the series was known for.  To me, its such a shame that the series has changed into an action game.  I miss the horror aspect.
   To come to think of it, I never gave RE4 its credit for how genre defining the game actually was back when it was released.  So many games have since taken note from RE4 and its game play.  Most noticeably to me is the camera and how its positioned.  To go back now and think back about how crazy of an idea that it was to have a camera like that is funny because now it feels like the norm.  The complaint I remember having is how tedious the inventory system was and today it holds the same frustrations but its certainly not game breaking.  Switching between weapons can also be a pain because you have to go into the menu to equip them.  You think they could of added a quick select option for this version.
    Like I said, I'm loving my experience with the PS3 version of RE4.  Not sure what stopped me from finishing it before but I'm certainly not going to let anything stop me this time.  Maybe I'll try to write up a little review when I'm done?  Not sure, but I'll make sure to find time to try.

Resident Evil 4.... Again?

       Well, here I go again, waiting for Resident Evil 4 to download.  I don't even know why I bought to be honest.  I now own 4 versions of RE4 and have yet to finish it one time.  There is nothing wrong with the game and I truly do want to finish its just  I never seem to actually get through it.  I do have gripes with it though and I'm one of the people that like the older games better.  I like the slower moving zombies and fixed camera angles.  I even liked the horrible voice acting.  Those games were actually scary unlike today's RE where its more action oriented.  Problems aside though,  I'm promising myself this time that I am going to finish RE4.  I guess I will have to wait and see if I can keep that promise....

A New Beginning

     As a kid, I never thought that I would get to the point where a job would get in the way of my life. I was always one to say that would never let a job take over my life and yet I let it happen.  Of course everyone is different and different views on life are essential for making the world turn but I never felt that I fit into the role of the 9 to 5 lifestyle. There was a time when I thought that having a steady job with a decent amount of money coming in was something I wanted. Just to live on my own was a accomplishment that felt great. Really, who doesn't feel great when they first move out from their parents and realize they have their whole life ahead of them? It feels great. Most importantly lets not forget the freedom that you gain too. You make the decisions and you set the rules.

     Right out of high school I just did whatever and had no realization that I should look towards my future and start working towards it.  I ended up getting a full time job and a place to live and just enjoyed my everyday life.  That was all great but now 7 years later I'm not happy with what I'm doing as far as my occupation and day to day life goes.  I need to do something different.  Luckily I finally got some sense smacked into me and enrolled back into school and I got to say, its the best thing I've ever done.  Its such a breathe of fresh air to actually be working towards something.  To have a goal in life. It took a while for me to realize but I now realize that life is too short to just mess around.  Some people can live like that but I can't.  Life it also full of choices and sometimes there are risks involved but that makes you a better person in the end.

Cheers to a new beginning.
