Resident Evil @ MindSay

Dixie currently feels:

 Scared

 

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

 

Okay, Saturday. :)

 

As usual, Adam came over - and we set up the PS1 downstairs.

 

I made some cheeseburgers and potato Rostis. - I accidentally burnt one of the buns trying to toast it, so I ate that one.

The fat burnt me twice - I was trying to turn them over, and the fat spat at my wrist, and it stung.

 

Potato Rostis are just like giant hash browns.

They break into little pieces when you try and cut them up. :) 

 

 

So, I watched Adam play another hour and a half of Resident Evil 3: Nemesis - watched him beat the hospital with Carlos, and save Jill from her T-virus infection.

Then he had to save quickly in the graveyard shed because dad wanted to watch football.

 

So we went upstairs, sat about doing nowt for a bit - then started watching weird videos on this bodged site with porno and deformity videos.

I wanted to watch the Goddess Bunny again - but Adam said she freaked him out.

 

I watched it again at about 6, once he'd gone.

It's not as spooky as the first time I watched it.

 

Then I sorted out some music - about half of my Guitar Hero I soundtrack folder - downed some Pepsi and munched on a Cheestring.

 

Then I set up the PS1 again, and loaded up my save - Adam had beat the sewer THING for me earlier - and mocked the fact I lacked the ability to quick-turn.

 

Hrm, down and square.

Must remember.

 

 

So I played through the clock tower and the hospital part myself - then through the graveyard and the park.

I got to where Adam was before we were made to turn it off - and I carried on, because I knew that the lighter and the iron pipe would be used to solve the next puzzle, of getting into the next room.

 

So I did that, got everything in there - came out, watched a cutscene, and learnt of a giant alligator, which is obviously soon to appear.

Then the ceiling started caving in, so I ran back to the save room, and saved it quickly.

 

Then I turned it off because I was scared...

 

 

Nemesis is getting less and less scary every time I face him.

He's taken his trenchcoat off now, and he's running about with all his tentacles out.

I'm just pumping him full of flame rounds now - I've got like 60 of them.

 

I'm saving my magnum and my freeze rounds for bigger things.

 

I'm addicted, methinks. :)

 

Addicted, but too scared to play it alone.

*Sniffle*

 

Oh eBay.....What can I say? I'm a consumer whore...and how!

Lately I've been having the weirdest urge to play Parasite Eve, Silent Hill, and Resident Evil: Code Veronica X for playstation...the only problem is I don't own them. So I went bumming around eBay for a while just checking out prices and boy did I ever make the deal of a century...

Parasite Eve (complete 2discs, game manual, original case, new condition): $8.99
Silent Hill (Original Black Case, used but excellent condition, manual): $4.00
Resident Evil CVX (discs, manual, case): $10.50
PS1 Memory Card (never used, still in box): $0.01! Yes a penny for a 1MB memory card....

Of course none of this includes shipping and handling, but still that's a friggin steal on all of the games. Most people wanted $40+ for Silent Hill...apparently it's collectible or some shit...I just want to play the damn game. :D

Tschuess!

So, here are some of my pics from the convention. I had taken more .... however, due to the nature of crappy disposable cameras, not all turned out how i wanted. That means my Pheonix Wright photos.... and they were awesome tooo. NOOO PHEONIX COME BACK!(the really dark one). I still got a good deal of delightful pics though. Also, since the flash of disposable cameras are not as strong as regular cameras the lenses of the gas mask were not the opague level i wished. Still pretty pleased with the results however.

I also met some delightful people playing various Resident Evil charactors, some from the games, some not. I loved seeing all the different costumes.

So i'm still waging major warfare inside of my body.  Antibodies are flying left and right while an foriegn invader tries to stake out some territory to claim.  I'm not taking $*&% from no bacteria/virus, so i've been resting up, gargling hot salt water, drinking lots of water, gargling H202 (if i'm not mistaken that is the correct chemical make-up of hydrogen peroxide) getting more rest, drinking plenty of fluids and taking a few vitamin suppliments.

I missed one day of the anime convention due to the illness, now its day two and i feel human.  Granted i get a relapse every now and then, but i can't just sleep this weekend away.  

I put a few final touches onto my costume, red film on the lenses of the gas mask.  I'm thinking i'm going to need to wear something dark underneath so people will not see my skin.  A few things i can't finish yet due to the nature of them.  IE; placement of certain items when i'm wearing the costume.  Items that will have to be taken off when i take the suit off.

The lenses don't fog up as much anymore, thank goodness.  

All right... lets finish packing and hit the road, wish me luck, i'll try to take tons of pics.

Let's recount another bizzare dream I had this past week, shall we?

 

They seem to be coming in throes recently. The most recent involved me and a group of other people trapped inside a house that was surrouned by zombies. Evil, fast moving zombies. Eventually they broke down the doors and windows and us survivors ran upstairs. There was little time left before we all died. We piled into a bedroom and locked the door.

 

A few minutes later, the zombies got through that too. They attacked. I threw a hammer, in hopes it would slow one of them down, but it bounced off him like rubber. I proceded to run and jump out of a second story window, rolling as I hit the ground. I took off, but as in most dreams, things weren't realistic. My legs began to slow down, feeling rubbery. I couldn't move. A particularly large Michael Clarke Duncan zombie caught up to me, and pounced...

 

I woke up. I've had a few other nightmares like this during the week, but those stories are for another time.
