Resident Evil (Video Game Series)

 With the recent release of the newest entree of Resident Evil Requiem, I wanted to take a little look back at one of the greatest franchises in video game history. Resident Evil!

It is amazing to me to think that this series is 30 years old this year and it is still going strong. The original Resident Evil game came out in 1996 on the original Playstation. It was created by gaming company Capcom thanks to the efforts of Shinji Mikami and Tokuro Fujiwara.

Resident Evil typically consist of survival horror, third-person shooters and first-person elements while avoiding zombies or other mutant creatures. 

This game is among one of the highest grossing horror franchises of all time as well as being Capcom's biggest franchise selling nearly 200 million dollars worldwide. If fact, two of the characters throughout its run, Leon S. Kennedy and Albert Wesker have both been named as some of the greatest video game characters of all time.

Although I have been around Resident Evil since the beginning, I must admit that I had a very hard time playing the game for while. Mainly because of the camera angles, it was such a pain in the butt that it did ruin a little bit of the enjoyment for me.

However that changed in Resident Evil 4 when they switched to a third person over the shoulder camera angle which to be perfectly honest with you guys has become a common thing in many games nowadays. But at the time, was really some amazing stuff and in my humble opinion really took the franchise to another level.

I mean really the whole concept itself of Resident Evil which is based on agents trying to stop the Umbrella Corporation from creating bio-weapons or viruses that turn people or animals has horrifying monsters.

Even though I like a lot of the characters, I personally enjoy seeing the duo of Leon and Ada Wong since the days of Resident Evil 2. The chemistry between both and the whole dynamic of wondering who's side Ada is on and Leon trying to show her that she can do good.

Happy 30th birthday Resident Evil! Thanks for the memories and here is to making more.

Until Next Time!

God Bless and Be Safe Everybody! 🙏🙏🙏

Congrats To Trent Hidlay! (World Champion)

 Although, it has become common knowledge, by many of us who live in Mifflin County. But former Huskies' great Trent Hidlay pulled off an incredible comeback and became the 2025 World Wrestling Champion in Croatia at 92 kg. After being down 10-2, Hidlay powered his way back to defeat Amanula Gadzhimagomedov 13-10 to win the World's Gold Medal. This is such an inspirational story that needs to be told because stuff like this does not happen very often, especially in a small community like Mifflin County.  To me, the story of Trent is all about never giving up and continuing to push forward as well as hard work and dedication. What this young man has done is truly remarkable. I have been covering local sports for over ten years now and seeing where Trent has started to where he is now really puts a smile on my face. I mean this kid has won two State championships when he was in High School before moving on to Division 1 college wrestling at NC State. While there, Trent was a fou...

25 Years Of Loving Memories!

Image
WOW! It is very hard to believe that on this day April 25, 2000, I lost one of the most fun and loving people that I have ever known. And I called him Pap! It really is true about how time flies, it still feels like only yesterday that I was told that Pap had past away. It was my first experience with death in my life and honestly, didn't handle it too well. For nearly ten years, my Pap never failed to make me smile and laugh. Heck! I always looked forward to seeing him and Nan when I was a kid. Some of my personal favorite memories with Pap was when he took me and my big brother Cody to go see the Merf Dog. I also loved when every time that we would leave and we forgot to hug him, he would begin to "cry" that we didn't hug him and we ended up running back up the porch step and give him and Nan and BIG Hug. Baseball season would come around and he be there watching the Cardinals play and I be sitting there with him and having fun. I remember hanging out in the backyar...

2009 Lewistown Panthers Baseball

 Well, with me trying to become more positive about myself, I have been looking back into the past and find ways to let go of some of the negative emotions attached to it. One such issue was going back to my time at Lewistown Area High School which as mentioned before was a huge struggle for me.  But again, trying to be more positive, I wanted to look back at that time and remember some of the good moments during that period. One of which was playing for the Lewistown Panthers baseball team. Heading into my senior year of high school, I wasn't in the best state of mind. Honestly, I really did not want to be there anymore, I was just so sick of life, never thought I was going to be anything. All I ever was going to be was a huge disappointment. I can only give credit to God for being able to get through that year. But then baseball tryouts came along and I decided to go for it again. The previous years I've tried only to fail, which in fairness, wasn't much of a surprise bec...
