Biohazard 4D-Executer (Resident Evil CGI Movie)

If you are ever in a mood for some true Resident Evil in movie format, look no further. Biohazard 4D-Executer is a masterpiece and is what the Hollywood movies fail to convey: tension and Resident Evil branded horror. It’s a movie produced by Capcom back in 2000, and it’s made entirely in juicy late 90s CGI. The original upload on YouTube is old, grainy, and has a bad aspect ratio, stretching the 4:3 format to 16:9 unnaturally. In other words, it looks bad on more than one front. So, I have linked an upscaled version down below, that’s actually in the correct format, making the viewing experience much better. Enjoy!

My Top 10 RPGs with Custom Parties on PC

Hello and welcome to my personal list of favorite party-based RPGs. This list consists of games I have played and enjoyed. If games that fit the criteria are missing, it’s because I haven’t played them yet, or I disliked them. It’s that simple!

The Sinking City 2 – Kickstarter

I enjoyed The Sinking City for the most part. However, I felt they totally fumbled the ending, coming off as pretty weak and linear. Also, having to run defense for Innsmouthers in the middle of the story felt strange and very forced. I guess, the lure of good-boy points by the press was too tempting, but it didn’t work at all for the narrative. Anti-racism only goes that far, after all. Here is the trailer:

[Book Tip] Deus Ex: Black Light by James Swallow

In my review of the novel Deus Ex: Icarus Effect by the same author, I wrote that Icarus Effect was almost required reading to understand Deus: Ex: Human Revolution—at least when it comes to the finer details, and the antagonists. Well, in contrast, Black Light is mandatory reading. It’s amazing how many important plot points this book sets up for Deus Ex: Mankind Divided. When I played Deus Ex: Mankind Divided back in the day, it left me utterly confused why I was in Prague, what actually happened after the Panchaea incident, and the general state of the world. Black Light explains everything, while also being a good book to boot. Minor beginning spoilers incoming.
