This is also the first time I've ever had to hand this award to anyone in my own family. After a rather uneventful day on Friday, after renting Sonic Riders and Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes (of which I pwn the first, and epically phail the second. :roll, my Grandma surprised me with some startling news. SHE WAS TO BUY A NEW COMPUTER. Better yet (well, to me anyways. ), A Windows Vista computer.

So far, I'm loving the 250 GB hard drive, and the horse power it has to run Stepmania and background videos correctly, without having keyboard lag, unlike my home's Dell XP. I love the wide screen monitor too.

Anyways, other than loading my stuff onto this new computer, I have been playing Stepmania, Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, and Sonic Riders. MGS is too hard (YES, I PHAIL. :cry

Someone pity me through a comment?

So, yeah. I'm late. Thank Ino-Faust for booting me back into Cubed3.

Anyways, this will be short, sweet, and to the point. I' m tired, and my sandwich awaits me. It's saying "Eat me... eat me Dylan, I'm delicious...".

Unlocked Separate Ways, I'm at the final chapter. Unlocked all Mercenaries characters, Wesker is cool. Restarted main file, got to 2-2. Yay me!

Anyways, sorry for small update. COMMENT ME CUBIES.

As of last night, around 7:30 Pm EST, I finally beat Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition for the first time. I am VERY happy to have unlocked all of the goodies, and I can't wait to get the Chicago Typewriter.

Here is my finishing score, not bad for a first time player, I guess...

RESULT:
Hit Ratio: 75%
Number of Enemies Killed: 907
Number of Times Killed: 29
Clear Time: 16:22'42"

I started a new file with my equipment from the first game, wearing Leon's Raccoon Police uniform. Meh, I wanted the Mafia coat, but I guess I have to ACTUALLY work for that.

I also tried to start a Separate Ways file, but I ran out of ammunition (AGAIN), and I was tired, so I voluntarily killed myself. It's neat hearing gunshots from inside the cabin, and a chainsaw revving up continuously, but I wonder if Leon was ever thinking "What the hell was that!? It wasn't my gun...".

Anyways, comment me Cubies, I enjoy your responses.

I... I'm at a loss for words. I did something AWESOME (well, at least I think so) for once in my life. Lately, I have been having ruts with my ammunition reserves, always bleeding myself dry in bullets. This morning, I fought the U3, or "It". After 10-11 shotgun blasts, 7 handgun shots, and 2 barrel explanations, I ran out of ammunition. Simple running in circles and dodging underground pincher strikes, I did it. Every time the U3 resurfaced, it was facing the opposite direction. With that, I knifed. I knifed like no tomorrow. Finally, "It" died. I was in shock, I was just piddling around, thinking I was to die... AGAIN. I thought I was just lucky... I was wrong.

Soon after killing the U3, I was well on my way to fighting Krauser. I had enough bullets to deal with him and some of the drones he utilized, up until the timed battle with him. Then I had run out of ammunition. AGAIN. After 30 seconds of just running around avoiding him, I decided to go down with SOME dignity, so I attempted to knife him. He hopped back a few feet every time I made a strong swipe, but then, it happened. I cornered him on one of the wooden balconies, and swiped at his legs. After 2-3 slices, he landed on his knee. I had about 3/4 of a second to slash the living daylights out of him before he got up and murdered me. To my uprise, I was able to get in enough swipes as he rose up from his position JUST to knock him over again. After about 9-10 seconds, I had done what I had always thought of as impossible, at least for a newbie like me. I knifed Krauser.

I literally dropped my Wii Remote... except it didn't land on the ground since it was tethered to my wrist.

Hilariously enough, one of my associates had stated a few weeks ago, while I was still in the castle, that I would have SO MUCH difficulty with 5-X, that I would never be able to get past it, unless HE was the one helping me. He said I wouldn't even be able to complete the Krauser Knife scene. Well, IN YOUR FACE, LEE!

... It's a shame no one will ever believe me without video proof. At least Lee anyways. Oh well, at least I get to live knowing that someone like me was able to knife "It" and Krauser.

As of now, I just made it past the dozens of Ganado soldiers, and I just saw Mike get blown up... Saddler will PAY.

IRON MAIDEN DOWN! YEAH!

As some of you might have read in my previous blog entry, I had some Iron Maiden issues... Well, I got lucky and killed the first one. My epic strategy for the second one... cripple him and run like a little girl.

After running, I thought I was safe. Well, some Ganado Soldiers came running in. But hell, they were easy compared to the Iron Bastards I had just faced. Shooting those executioner soldiers in the head with a shotgun always made me smile.

After having Ashley smash her balls against a wall, revealing a hidden door, I ran through the catacombs, encountering the two normal Regenerators. Compared to Iron Maidens, these things were EASY. Crippling them then knifing them in the ass repeatedly was very satisfying. I scrounged up some ammunition, bought some first aid sprays from the merchant, and made my way to the Bulldozer. That was when I actually had REAL FUN in this game.

I discovered a weird glitch/trick during the bulldozer chase. When being chased by the soldiers down the street, if you stand on the very end of the bulldozer and aim at them without shooting, they will slowly gather without realizing it, as the computer is trying to make them go after leon specifically, not the Bulldozer. Then if they get close when running after you, they actually stop fro ma few feet away as they think they merely need to walk a few more feet to hit you. They will never make it in the back of the bulldozer this way, except for the ones that come from the sides of the road. Once they accidentally group up, just shoot them all at once with the shotgun. You can take out 6-7 soldiers in one blast.

After the entire sequence with the bulldozer, I made it into the next level. I saved at the beginning of the level, took part in the Krauser Duel Scene, then had fun with the lasers in the hallway. However, when I was killed by the dropping cage during the U3 "It" fight scene, I didn't retry, or save. I just didn't feel like playing anymore at the moment. I plan on duplicating my save, so I can always have that Krauser/Laser scene available, just for fun.

I'd like to thank my fellow Cubies for providing strategies last night when I REALLY needed them. Now to prepare for the finale of the game...

P.S.- I LOL'd too when I saw what the blog title said on the side of the... erm... website thing.

A Call for Assistance! Emergency Situation 5-2!

Sorry for the belated blog entry ladies and gentlemen, school has me running around like a decapitated Ganado. Anyways folks, In my spare time, I've made it to 5-2... And let me make it clear that I do NOT enjoy being in the company of several Regenerators.

I was LOVING the beginning of 5-1. It had soldiers, who were easy to put down, yet challenging to go up against. And I absolutely LOVE J.J. He killed everyone for me, and I shot him in the head with my boom stick.

However... things began to look scary. No, I'm not talking about Oven Man (phh, that guy was cake), but something much more terrifying.. the Regenerators. Hmm.. allow me to be more specific. It's not that Regenerators frighten me, just Iron Maidens. I made the mistake of selling my Thermal Scope, thinking I could just shoot until something hit right, and I could handle it like that... well, it DID work that way for the first few Regenerators (and the 1st Iron Maiden), but then I grew low on ammo. And healing items. After retrying several times on 5-2, I killed all enemies, took their spoils, and raided the complex of ALL items. I even shot the crows and found a nice hefty sum of gold, which I bought a standard rifle with... but no Thermal Scope. Now that all I can really do next is jump down the garbage chute, I keep on getting murdered by the Iron Maidens. I JUST can't get past the 1st Regenerator, and if I do, I get killed by the second seconds later.

So fellow Cubies, I ask of you your assistance. I need some GOOD strategies for handling the two Iron Maidens in the garbage chute, WITHOUT the Thermal Scope. I only have 4k Pesetas left over, and I have done EVERYTHING else there is to do. I only have 25 Handgun shots, and 7-10 Shotgun shots, then 5 rifle shots. PLEASE HELP as soon as you can. I need it.

Behold! The Mines of Death!

You heard that correctly, ladies and gentlemen. I've made it to the entrance of the mines already. It was an ARDUOUS trek. Chasing after Ashley and Salazar was HARD, my hatred for Garradors has reached a brand new level of passion.

The Drag Queens Zealots were easy as Paris Hilton, but the twin Garradors manhandled me. I had to sacrifice my Rocket Launcher to kill both of them, something I was saving for the Verdugo... thankfully, the pesetas left behind from their oh so timely demises quickly bought me a new weapon, Stranger.

I trekked forward, sneaking in their castles, shooting all of their inhabitants. It was great fun, especially with an onlooker. My Uncle Rick LOVES to watch me play with my Wii... erm, the games on my Wii that is. Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition is his current favorite.

On that note, my Uncle heard me scream for the first time in a few days, thanks to a molten El Gigante grabbing a hold of me, and dragging me into the depths of the fiery abyss. I thought the Verdugo would make me scream, but alas, just a common El Gigante.

Anyways, this up and coming portion of the game is the portion in which I fear the most. These mines... I feel as if I can hear the revving of chainsaws echo throughout the caverns.

Wish me luck Cubies. Dylan loves you all!

UPDATE 08/25/07, 11:21 PM:
I cleared the mines! It was so much easier than I thought! I sniped one Dr. Salvador, Grenaded the 2nd! YAY!

Over the last few days, between juggling school and Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition, I've managed two attend my first English and Math classes, AND get to 4-1 in the game! Huzzah!

First off, NextGenWalkthroughs.com . I would like to give a shout out to the fine people who put this together. Without their Resident Evil 4 video guide, I'd still be stuck in 3-2 in the Bridge Room. Also thanks to their efforts, I love ladders. Watch 3-2 and you'll understand what I'm saying.

I was terrified of Ashley's potion of 3-4, initially (or was it 3-3?), but then I realized how EASY it was. Just run, and don't look back. Ignore the Knights, and you will be fine... I shall call them Darknuts, as I do not know what they are called in the game.

So after dodging many a Darknut, and making it back to Leon, I finally got to 4-1... JUST to be lit on fire. I did LAWL at the Zealots i n this level though. They look like drag queens.

P.S.- Here is a video of the Drag Queen Zealots, they are at the end of the bridge in the beginning of the video.

As soon as I woke up, one thing was on my mind. Well, two things actually. I had to use the bathroom as well. But immediately after that, I booted up Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition, and began to kick ass... yeah right, I ran like a little girl most of the way. But I'm getting ahead of myself. Let's backtrack, shall we?

I was able to complete the last portion of 3-1 after two attempts. On my first attempt, one of the Zealots had grabbed Ashley. Just as I lined up my targeting reticule on the Zealots head with my Rifle... he about faced RIGHT when I shot, and I ended up shooting Ashley in the face. Why the hell did he even about face!?! THERE WAS NO NEED FOR IT!

I got everything down on my second attempt, and I even made a spare save file JUST so I can screw around in the Shooting Gallery. I have a question for you fellow Cubies. WHY did Ashley run away from Leon after coughing up some blood? I understand why she coughed up some blood, but why did she run? Pissed me off when she got recaptured... ironically, now that I think about it, I'm sort of relieved she is no longer with me. Easier journey.

I got as far as the typewriter within the hall with the windows, revealing the dark blue, cloudy sky. I had a good chuckle along the way as well. My Step-Father woke up early today while I was avoiding the Red Zealot with the Anti-Air Gatling Gun... thing. He was in awe over the games graphics, and he said the game was "kick-ass". I'm glad he approves.

Anyways, while I was avoiding the machine gun bullets like a maniac, I was also picking up the Herbs that were laying about in the broken jars. I picked up a Green Herb, and the first thing he asked me was "IS THAT DOPE!?!". I was laughing so hard, I had to pause the game so I wouldn't get man-handled by the Zealots.

Anyways, that is where I am. Comment me Cubies, while I watch. Resident Evil: Apocalypse

I am still on level 3-1 on Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition. Not because I suck at this game, but I take things slowly. At least the Zealots don't frighten me as much, so much as irritate me. ''

My Step-Father's coworker came by for a visit today, and thusly, he got to hear me shout "DEAR CHRIST!" when encountering the Garrador. My God was he annoying. I killed him on my 2nd attempt, but that flailing claw combo of his drove me INSANE. Finally, I beat him... only to die five minutes later, after the big battle, because a stupid red Zealot decided to eat my head. GOD DAMN EVERYTHING!

After defeating the Garrador a 2nd time, and dodging the damn Type-2 Plagas Parasite, I was able to make it into the grand hall, storm the area, activate the two switches in the office clear in the back, and command Ashley to crank the first crank. Finally, she is useful. After that, I high-tailed it back to the type-writer to make a quick save.
Alas, here am I, before my audience of fans, many of which wish to bare my offsping... *stifles laughter*... *fails*

Comment me Cubies, I want children.
