Resident Evil 2 is FINALLY getting a remake????

(using my Silent Hill icon because I can't currently get at my RE one...*sigh*)

I...appreciate it, and think it's overdue, but I'm not sure I want it. I love the original, and I've loved it for twenty(!!) years now. I will probably still check it out once it arrives, because Resident Evil.

(I want there to be the alternate scenarios like there were in the original because hello guess where my love of Rashomon style storytelling came from*. And I'd like Claire's original VA. I'm sure Ali Hillis does a good job, but Alyson Court just is Claire for me. Which, I realise, makes me sound like a whiny five year old, but I'm very tired and feel like stamping my feet, so I guess I am a whiny five year old).

Talking of which, I was in CEX today, and considered picking up 5, 6, and Operation Raccoon City, even though I won't play them at all because I'm a massive scaredy cat (why I like this series at all is BEYOND me). Maybe next time I'm in there. I want them just to have them, if that makes sense?

(which reminds me: I still need to pick up the films I'm missing, and that includes Damnation).


*Though I suppose the alternate A/B scenarios aren't Rashomon style in the strictest sense, but I do like the differences that occur depending on which way you play the game.

In other games news, I've been keeping up with E3 even less than usual but new Halo game??? That is not Halo 6, but will apparently continue Master Chief's Adventures IN SPACE!™ (I get the feeling 343 are trying to eke out the story as much as possible at this point, as 6 should, rightfully, be the finisher, but who honestly knows).

ALSO KH3 FINALLY! (not that I have a PS4 to play it on, but whatever, right? People have been wanting this since I got into the games a good decade ago. I am happy for them).

In non-game news, I went to the dentist on Monday, and he was actually nice to me this time! Well, nice for a dentist, anyway. I didn't exactly mention the sore teeth, as they'd calmed down, but he had a look, and said it was probably a nerve or gum flare-up, which sounds likely. I was dreading him saying I'd have to have a tooth out (or worse). Thankfully, that didn't happen.

I've also started working on paying off the Other Debt, and it is less than I thought, so hopefully it will take me less time to pay off! \o/
