I have nothing left to prove
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 fun, 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.
AI Josh Stone was completely idiotic, blowing through his ammunition as soon as he reloaded. He died about four times more than I did, and I found it most effective when he had zero ammo left, and I was left to snipe and take care of the enemies myself.
Obviously, this won’t last, but at the time of my completion, I am one of less than 500 gamers in the world to have completed Desperate Escape on single-player Professional level. And I rank #41 out of all of them, which makes me feel pretty good about my skills as an RE5 player. Compare this to the about 18,000+ who have beaten the game on Amateur, and I’m still ranking in the top 300 there too.
So anyway, with Desperate Escape now completed fully, and Rebecca Chambers leading me to all A and S rankings in Mercenaries Reunion, I have nothing left to prove. But I would still love to actually play some co-op if there is anyone left out there that actually has any interest in RE5.

I waited to finally make a comment on your wordpress as it seemed no other comments were made but this seemed like the right timing. The Brog looks great and I was inspired enough to finally get mine up too, though the content isn’t daily and I really don’t know where I’m going with it. Yours mentions places I pass by all the time, games I play, books, I read, the same general interests and I check it regularly. Call me a fan.
RE5 has that never ending appeal that I keep coming back too. I’ve got the DLCs also but on PS3. Haven’t beaten Professional on any of them and couldn’t agree more that playing with a human player would be a world of difference. My first time through was with a veteran player so we had all the quotes lined up (Fire in the hole! Heads up! Braains!). We should get together sometime.

I appreciate the kind words, good sir. I appreciate anyone and everyone that takes the time to actually read the drivel and pictures I post.
The brogging thing is going pretty well for me now, but that has a whole lot to do with the fact that I’m not working, and have a whole lot of time to sit around and write when the feeling emerges, that is, when I’m not sitting around playing RE5 or L4D. I’m hoping to keep it going for as long as I can, regardless of my situation.
