I've been meaning to do an update for quite some time. Finally managed to get around to taking some crappy pics the other day. Gonna try and make some notes on changes and such.
Last update I only had one of the big shelving units and I was pretty much out of space. I knew I needed a second unit up there, but didn't really know what to fill it with, was thinking about moving some other systems up there to help free space in the game room. Never did, so the bottom 2 shelves of those units are basically empty.
This area really hasn't changed, and you can see the dust accumulated due to that fact. It's in dire need of rearrangement. I might move the Virtual Boy stuff back over here at some point.
Last time, my modern stuff was relatively small so PS3 still had space in the living room. All modern systems grew to the point there just wasn't room for PS3 anymore. For a period PS3 was stored away in a storage closet (More on that later), but I finally moved them into the game room after I built an additional shelving unit. This pic, I believe, is about 815 PS2 games and 175 PS3 games.
The new shelf I built, this one was a bit of custom dimensions as the shelves are normally DVD sized, this one has 2 long box sized shelves and several jewel case sized shelves to maximize efficiency. One shelf in particular had to be an odd size because there is a door behind the unit, this was where the controller rack was hung in the last update (More on that later). You can see the differences as the Genesis unit is DVD sized.
Not much change here really.
I've since added a coffee table to raise up the Trinitron and that corner is largely being used for storage of one of my newer hobbies... statues and figures. Other than that, not much change here either. I'm still in a big reorganization mode, so the room in general is kind of a mess with things stacked in places.
Bonus pic to see the stack of statues and such.
Moved the controller rack to the main doorway of the room. Not much changes here other than the fact that I've boxed away a lot of unused and duplicate controllers, so now there is free space on the controller rack.
Main living room with modern stuff and my display case. As you can see, Switch at least has really exploded since last update. X1 has grown considerably as well as has X1BC titles. PS4 really hasn't grown that much considering. Display case hasn't really changed since last update, but I'm considering swapping stuff.
And finally the really old stuff and relatively unloved things. It used to be on the side of the storage closet so it was accessible, but I've since moved DVDs/BDs onto that shelf and I've since moved this stuff to the back of the storage closet so it's really inaccessible... as you can tell.
Resident Evil (2002) - I got it in my head, after watching what I consider to be the worst Resident Evil stuff recently with the last movie and tv show, to see if the Paul W.S. Anderson films were as bad as I remember. I had only ever seen the first three, the third one pushing me to never watch the others, but the first one I had considered a guilty pleasure and I gotta say, it holds up as a solid guilty pleasure. That part of the "guilty pleasure" is more that it's not good Resident Evil, but it is a very solid cheesy zombie b-movie flick. It actually reminds me a lot of Deep Rising, a movie that came out a few years before this one, where it had that mixture of horror with cheesy action. Do I wish we got a story that fit more with actual Resident Evil and had actual characters from Resident Evil? Definitely, but this movie is fun, I liked it still, it's very late 90's/early 00's.
Resident Evil: Apocalypse (2004) - This one I remember being bad and it's definitely where it starts to fall apart. It's okay for the most part, like it's still trying to mix the horror with the action, we even get Jill, but she's just there I'm sure because fans complained that the first movie didn't have any characters from the game. She doesn't add anything to the movie. The action got worse though. With Alice becoming superpowered, it starts to fall apart. By the end, the movie is just barely holding itself together I feel. It's competent, but I don't really want to ever watch it again. Not looking forward to the rest of the movies, but we'll see how it goes lol
I could never discover it when I was young (never heard of it) but I'm very happy to hear about a remake.
The game interests me, I'm thinking of taking it !Bandai Namco seem to be really embracing these re-makes, first Klonoa and now Pac-Man, just the one game with Pac-Man though, strangely. I wonder if they're testing the waters here but the emphasis on platformers is interesting. I'd love to see them release a Tekken compilation and do something else with Ridge Racer, perhaps a remake of Type 4, I'd love that.
Omg, I would love a remaster or a brand new ridge racer !
Resident Evil (2022 Series) - So yeah, once again they failed with Resident Evil. Not as bad as what I've heard the reboot movie they just did, or most of those awful RE movies they did before, but this is a bad Resident Evil series. It's at least vaguely based on game lore (Racoon City, Wesker having died in Resident Evil 5, that sorta stuff), but it's a completely different timeline sort of story where the apocalypse happens and wipes out most of the world.
I'm not gonna front and say "Oh, how dare they treat the true gold that is Resident Evil like this!", Resident Evil as a series is the dumbest possible shlock, but in the best way possible. It's cheesy, over the top, it's ridiculous. This tv series is just boring and standard. It's writing can be clunky and it jumps between timelines where it's set a decade and a half after the apocalypse, and then right before the apocalypse, but most stuff before the apocalypse is really boring. I was skipping a lot of this show, especially I think Episode 5 with them futzing around in the house for most of the episode. The vague teen and family drama stuff never really worked. The show is better whenever it's in the post-apocalypse and there's zombies and bio weapons, it's fine. Like there's giant mutant creatures and the Lickers, they have a simple nod to Dr. Salvador that I thought was a tiny bit fun, but otherwise...This isn't anything great.
It's a bog standard zombie show, like a 5/10 at best, worse if we look at it as Resident Evil, I'd pass on it. I think this is the same company that did all the previous Resident Evil stuff and they need to go away. The movies sucked, the reboot sucked, Monster Hunter sucked, this sucks. There's a tiny chance they make the second season better, no teen drama stuff, but it's still not good Resident Evil, no one wants this from a Resident Evil tv series.
Gamestop pretty much always does that whenever a game gets announced, it's lead to issues when games get enormously delayed in the past.
