Summer Accomplishments:
- Completed Resident Evil Zero (GC)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Today's been a pretty cool Saturday I've spent with Ash.

We'd barely been in my room for about 10 minutes when I was making her go on Facebook and respond to the friend requests and messages that people had been sending her.
I even had to tell her to write a nicer response to one of them - as it was horribly blunt and practically ignored all the questions she'd been asked. Ash can be so rude sometimes.

We played Guitar Hero: Metallica today. It's been a while - as it's been overshadowed by the greatness of GH: Greatest Hits.
We started out on quickplay - I sang the three songs I actually know. For Whom The Bell Tolls, Enter Sandman and Toxicity. Metallica's setlist fails so epically.
Then we completed a full tier on the band career. Ash was on hard lead and I was on expert bass. We mainly got 4 stars, thanks to Ash being a general bodge-up - but we got a few 5 stars too.

Ash broke her sneezing record as well.
She actually sneezed SEVENTEEN TIMES IN A ROW.
I was sat there pissing myself, wondering if it was ever going to end.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ash was definatley in the Resident Evil mood today.
She practically begged me to play Resident Evil Zero.

I feel so bad sometimes, I start playing the games with Ash watching, and I get the urge to carry on when she's not there - and the same can be said for Adam. She was confused at where I was, she'd missed practically all of the mansion and the first Tyrant fight.

Oh, and never listen to strategy guides.
They OVER EXAGGERATE LIKE FUCK.

The guide practically made out that the final boss was impossible and you'd need like 5 sets of herbs and 4 different guns.
Mate, I killed it with a fucking SHOTGUN.
AND IT DIDN'T EVEN HURT ME ONCE.

Resident Evil is a twat with its serious anticlimax boss fights.
The only boss that's ever killed me was Tyrant on Resident Evil 1.

I laughed at the Resident Evil 2 bosses, all of them were stupidly easy.
Nemesis' final form was a disappointment - compared to what he's like when he still chases you around in his trenchcoat.
And this boss was ridiculous as well - you didn't even end up KILLING IT - you were merely DISTRACTING IT.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After we'd eaten hotdogs - I had cheese with mine, Ash had tomato sauce - we played a few songs on GH: Greatest Hits.

Ash even commented that it felt weird us playing without any guitars.
I was on vocals, she went on drums.

It was hilarious when she was putting the Wii remote in the slot.
I had some clean shirts and jeans on my drums that I hadn't gotten around to putting away yet.

Ash goes: "Where do you want these?"
I go: "Oh, anywhere."
I go to take them from her and *DROP*.
I suppose you just had to be there - we were pissing. :D

After I'd told Ash about the forum post about TTFAF drums, she wanted to try it out.
"The vocalist falls asleep. The bassist falls asleep. The guitarist has fun. And the drummer DIES."

The drummer DID die - Ash failed during a part where there wasn't any vocals to keep the rock meter out of red. :)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After this, Ash requested I start Resident Evil: Code Veronica X.
The only Resident Evil game I own and was yet to play.

She got it down off the shelf and I said: "DON'T EVEN BOTHER SAYING 'LOLCLAIRE'."
But then when I turned back to face her, I had a face full of cover art.
Ash didn't even NEED to say it.

We can blame Adam for that one. :D

Oh but it's horrible!
The graphics... Well, they're OKAY...
But not after you've just been playing Resident Evil Zero!

Zero has smooth Gamecube high-quality graphics.
Code Veronica looks like a slightly smoothened PS1-early PS2 graphics.

I did get used to it - the CHEESIEST VOICE ACTING EVER cheered me up.
I thought the likes of Resident Evil 1 was bad with the "You, the MASTER OF UNLOCKING." and "You were almost a JILL SANDWICH!"

No, Code Veronica beats them all.
Steve's VOICE is the most annoying thing I've ever heard.
Alfred's LAUGH is the weirdest noise I've ever heard.
Ash and I were in fits.

And there's SO MANY cutscenes too, so we got to hear a lot of this. :D

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And in Farmville news - I've got two more brown cows, and I'm now at level 18. :D
Shelly isn't pleased. She's afraid of me overtaking her.
I'm not even competing with her.

She's just being horribly childish. Even threatening to stop talking to me if I end up with more brown cows than her.
Pathetic really. :(
