Well, today was the official US release date of Resident Evil 5 （バイハザード５)! Apparently though, Gamestop likes to tell select pre-ordering customers that they will be giving it out at midnight on the 12th. So me and my good buddy Kelsi, get in the car and start to drive out there around 11:30. We get there and there are a few other cars, but there's no line yet, so we sat in our car until people started to line up. We were like 5th in line. Once the line started moving and we got inside the store, we handed them out receipt and they handed us the Xbox360 game and the limited edition guidebook. Kelsi started having a cow because she thought she pre-ordered the limited edition game too, but I guess she didn't. Oh well, the only cool thing in the limited edition was the messenger bag (In my opinion at least). So after bitching and groaning about not getting what we thought we were getting we started off towards home again. We got in and immediately popped it into the 360. I decided that because she was so excited for it, she could be the first person to play it (since we only have one controller D: ). It has really nifty graphics and the gameplay is almost identical to RE4, but the enemies are a little different. In this one, they still look human (just like RE4), but they have parasites in them (again, just like RE4). I guess this time around it's a little different because they can run, wield all sorts of weapons, and they are a lot smarter. So she's playing and playing, and then at the end of mission 1-2 there's a boss you have to beat. It's this big black tentacle thing that's covered in petroleum. So it chases you and in the end you have to lock it in the furnace and burn it to death, but it's a lot harder than it sounds. That little b*****d moves really fast and there's a long delay on the furnace door after you hit the button to shut the doors. Anyways, even though I wasn't playing...my heart was beating so fast I thought it might explode.

I hope Wesker's cool in this game...he's one of the only reasons I was so excited for it!
