In the past I usually just created a list and called it done. 2016 was an interesting year for me as it pertained to games. I don’t get to play every new release so my lists in the past have been very short, relegated to the few games I had an opportunity to play. I would rather create a more diverse list of awards to games and force myself to write about them rather than create an arbitrary li...

Previously I played RE5, read my thoughts here . Forgot why the hell I was doing this? Click here to find out/remember! Hey everyone. You may not remember me, but last year I decided to play through all the main series Resident Evil games to rekindle my love and appreciation that I once had for the series years and years ago. After Resident Evil 5 I ran into a big problem, a Metal Gear (Metal G...

Want to know how I felt about RE5 when it was first released? Read about it in my initial blog here ! The previous game before this was Resident Evil: Revelations, it was fucking garbage, read my stream of consciousness here ! Recap: Resident Evil 5 kind of killed the franchise for me back in 2009. I tried to play it again in 2010 but ultimately still had the same issues with the game as I did...

I’m still at it, forgot why? Read my initial blog here ! I loved RE4 back in the day, and I found out I love it still now, read more here . I honestly don’t want to spend very much time on this game, in short, I absolutely hated Resident Evil: Revelations. Alright, thanks everyone for stopping by. On to... If only I could be let off so easily. Essentially from beginning to end I thought everyth...

Forgot what I’m doing? Read my initial blog here I was…..going to play the railshooter RE games, but those fucking suck, so I actually played Code Veronica X last, which you can read my thoughts about the game here Ready for a shocker, ok here it is…..YO, RE4 IS STILL A FUCKING FANTASTIC GAME! Pretty boy Leon is back for one hell of a ride I really could stop this blog right there and be happy...

Been awhile? Refresh your memory on why the hell I’m doing this here RE 2 and 3 proceed Code: Veronica, read my thoughts on those games here I was very excited to see Claire return Resident Evil Code: Veronica (X) is the first RE game that I have come across that I really didn’t know what to expect when I began playing it. For the most part, the first few Resident Evil games seem to be known qu...

Confused? Read my initial blog I played Resident Evil: Director's Cut before these two games, you can read my thoughts here I thought it would be fun to approach these games in chronological order as I work my way through the main series franchise. As mentioned in the initial blog about this endeavor, I am a sucker for stupid timelines that exist in media so when I got the urge to finally play...

Why did I decide to play all the main Resident Evil games? Read my initial blog Resident Evil 0 chronologically is first, read my pre and post game thoughts Director's Cut I decided to do a chronological playthrough of the Resident Evil franchise because I enjoy watching events play out how they are supposed to be (except Memento , watching it edited chronologically sounds boring). Thus this me...

Confused why I’m doing this? Read my initial blog Want some pre-game thoughts about RE0? Click here Resident Evil 0 for the most part is a totally confident game that probably gets too much shit over the years for trying different things but not completely following through on them. First off I’ll state that my nostalgia wasn’t completely ruined, it was more affirmed while playing. As said, I t...

I decided to write this as it seems every few weeks there is a new thread started asking which content a new premium member should approach. I’m fine with the threads, I’m more annoyed of writing things up over and over again, and find myself being less informative as I just suggest the basic top 3 content. So with the influx of new Premium users coming in off the BLLSL I thought this might hel...

It is an absolute blessing that Resident Evil 0 will be the first RE game that I will be playing in this series; that also means it is an absolute curse as well. As stated in the initial blog , Resident Evil 0 is one of the few RE games that I have actually beaten and played to completion. In fact, behind RE4, 0 is the Resident Evil game that I have beaten the most times and spent the most time...

Sometime around early 1997 my older brother (by 10 years) brought home an unknown game system that I had heard very little of. It was something called the “PlayStation” I think it was. At this time, why would anyone need a gaming system besides a Nintendo 64? I belated my brother on not getting a N64 because everyone at school had that and not this “Japanese thing” or whatever it was. Regardles...

*I am currently off track from school and working only nights. To keep me entertained I have been making lists and watching older action films while I wait for stupid people to call who don’t know how to use their computer. I used to think I was an action film connoisseur but I didn’t know shit and I want to change that. My plan is to watch as many as I can and record how they live up to today’...

The moment I was sold on the Bombcast, only took 2 episodes One year ago I was a podcast addict. I listened to everything I could, sports related. I listened to ridiculous 3 hour podcasts that came out daily and I loved it. I even started listening to a Miami specific sport cast for reason unknown to me know (I live in Idaho and originally from Colorado and hate just about every Miami team out...
