As it pertains to Resident Evil 5, I have pretty much done it all now. Earlier today, I did what I thought was the impossible, and I conquered Desperate Escape on Professional difficulty, and I now have all 60 out of 60 available XBOX achievements. The S ranking is a little bit of a surprise, considering I figured I would be tanked by the great length of time I took to complete the mission, but apparently, my impeccable accuracy, the fact that I killed everything I could out of necessity and not for run, and racked up a godly amount of bonus stars was enough for me to round out the 400 times I was killed, and the total 2:30:58 time needed to finish.

My only question is how in the eff did a vandal manage to get up there, and apply what I’m imagining are vinyl/magnetic/static graphics?
Oh well. Ho-BO-ken!!
…which by the way is absolutely gorgeous today. But really, it must be the weather, because I saw a few things that I didn’t think possible.
I was walking the dog after I got home from work, because with weather like this, I couldn’t not do something outside. So I’m around the Zombieland gazebo, and a car passes me, and pulls into the driveway, and emerging from the car is a white woman, whom obviously lives in that house, based on the way pulled in to the driveway like she owned the place. Confused, I still do not forget to smile and nod in acknowledgment, and continue walking.
Then all of a sudden, jogging right past me is a nubile, young white girl, and our eyes meet for a moment and I’m sure I had the same puzzled look on my face as she did, at the sudden realization that there are indeed other ethnicities in Zombieland.
It’s gotta be the weather.
Now this is netbook territory – brogging from inside of a Cuban restaurant while munching on a tasty Cubano.
One of the benefits of the latest Resident Evil 5 updates was the mini game known as Mercenaries: Reunion. It’s all the same levels as in the regular Mercenaries, but this time, they’ve added several new character. Funny that they should call it “Reunion” though, since out of the eight playable characters, only two are truly “being reunited,” coming from an earlier RE game.

A gripe I had about not working was the simple fact that my weekends had lost meaning, since they were just like every other day in which I wasn’t working. This past week, I finagled out four solid working days, and a good bit of hours to alleviate the grind, so suffice to say, my weekend had some meaning again, especially since I’m slated to work the next day or two starting tomorrow. So what do I do all weekend? Aside from watching Alice in Wonderland, pretty much absolutely nothing, but play XBOX all weekend long. But most importantly, it was going through the second of the two Resident Evil 5 downloadable missions, Desperate Escape. And for once, we have a game that lives up to its title.
