Time to test: Resident Evil Revelations (the newest demo)

A new demo for Resident Evil Revelations for 3DS was released yesterday. Sanna and I decided to play it together while having a video chat on Skype. She got to hear and see me get scared of the same thing more than once...

It took a while until we figured out how to heal, and the Item Scanner was a bit confusing until we realized that the papers weren't the interesting thing. The fun part though, was when a few cute monsters fell from the ceiling, and I literally jumped in my seat (knocking my windowsill) and screamed "Oh shit!" at the same time. Sanna thought it was very funny.

We decided to take screen prints of us both when we played. We had paused our games, and discovered that the demo ends if you've paused it for too long. "Thanks for playing". So we had to start over. One would think I wouldn't be scared by the falling guys this time. But I was. I jumped, but I didn't scream. A bit more prepared for it at least. A bit.

Since it took us a while to figure out how to throw grenades, I was killed. Sanna continued, and I had to start over. Then I came to that corridor again... "I should know that they will fa-" *jumps*. In other words, it's proven that this game will scare you, haha. That time, I made it past all of the enemies, but I was all out of ammo. I even had to knife the last enemy in my desperation. Lucky I had enough herbs for it! My first thought when the demo was over was "Was that it?"

I'm really looking forward to playing the full game when it's released. It has potential enough to be really good!

Here are a few of the pictures we took! Two of them are Sanna's, and one is mine.

Thumbs up - the demo is ready to be played!

Trying to figure out how to heal in the middle of a battle...

A sad Emelie and a shocked Sanna!

Sanna, thank you for the pictures, and for wanting to play the demo with me! =D 

My Resident Evil-collection - January 2012

I thought it would be fun to start the new year off with a new photo of my Resident Evil-collection. I've mentioned a few times before how my REcollection began to grow, but I thought it would be interesting to take a quick look at my years as an REfan.

My first encounter with the Resident Evil-series was when my brother borrowed the first REgame from a classmate. My brother played it, I watched and tried to help him with some of the puzzles and such (I was around 6-7 years old at the time). The first REgame he actually bought was Resident Evil 2, platinum. After that, he got RE3 and later RE4. RE4 was the first I beat myself. The first REgame I bought for my own money was Resident Evil Code: Veronica X platinum in 2007. 2008 was the year I decided to try and play all of the games - since the disc for RE3 had disappeared, I bought it for PC. After a rage-quit due to the controllers, I later bought it for GameCube. That was also the year that I finally got a hold of the very first game and actually began to buy more of the games and a lot of other RErelated things.

In June 2009, this was my "little" collection.
18 games and a lot more things.

In August 2009, this was what I had. 20 games - two more than the previous picture. This was the only time I actually let my posters be included in some way. They're hanging on my walls and I'm lazy...

April 2010. Only the games were included - 24.

February 2011 - 27 games and some other things.

In September 2011, these were the RErelated things I had. The foot came as a bonus - it's not mine x)

September 2011 - the same day as the previous picture was taken. 31 REgames.

This picture and the next were taken two days ago. The bottom row is the content of the white box (15th Anniversary). The soundtracks were not included in this photo, hehe. I got my REArchives only a few days ago, so that's the first game I've bought this year. I now have a total of 37 REgames.

And lastly, the things I have in my collection that's not the games. The games from the white box got to be in this one too, since I really didn't want to put my soundtracks on the floor. Everything related to the movies are excluded. Also, my 3 calendars and my 4 posters are hanging nicely on my walls =D

 So yeah, this is how my collection has grown through the years. It's a bit hard to imagine that there actually was a time when everything in my collection could fit into a single photo! =D There are surely other people out there with bigger collections than mine, but I'm extremely proud over what I have. It has taken a few years to get to this point.

Well, hello there!

So... I haven't updated this blog in very long while... My Swedish blog has kind of taken all of my attention when it comes to blogging. I'll try my best to update here more often thugh!

New year, new possibilities~

I always feel so positive when I write that, haha.
Happy New Year everyone! 2011 feels like a good year - it's easy to say (2010 felt so complicated with all the t:s), and it's only just begun. I had a good start of the new year - everything just felt so positive. I just hope that the rest of the year will continue like this. I have a few New Year's resolutions, but I decided to just chose the ones I knew I could keep. Having to give up candy for a whole year? Not gonna happen. I've decided to concentrate more on my ongoing fanfic (which'll soon have it's tenth chapter, gonna be a long fic for sure), and of course also draw more. Now that I've gotten a new computer mouse and my own printer - combined with my lovely scanner - it feels a bit more tempting to actually get things done.

To go over to something completely different, I can mention that I'm still working on my newest round of Kingdom Hearts. Also, in my frustration over not being able to play Code: Veronica on my Dreamcast, I've played through all but the last chapter of Game Of Oblivion in Darkside Chronicles. And yesterday, I tried going through a round in RE5 Mercenaries as Sheva Tribal all on my own. I've been playing Duo a lot lately, and I figured it'd be fun to play alone for a change. Though, I'm way too used having someone watching my back, so it didn't go as good as it could have, haha. I've been better in Solo, but that round just didn't work at all. But I didn't give up, I decided to play a round in Mercenaries Reunion as Excella. I got a much better score, but the round itself was quite the same. I'll have to be stubborn enough to get an SS-rank with all characters on every stage all by myself. Ugh, now I got a lot to do, haha. I'll see how this works out.
