Ema and J’s Corner
We are doing a joint corner because this week’s blog post will be about our Easter Zombie Jebus Day Resident Evil Challenge!

We decided to go with the Game Cube version (otherwise known as REmake) because it is in J’s opinion the best version of the original game (his favorite overall RE game is Code Veronica). J is a huge RE fan, but Ema has never played one. J thus allowed Ema to make most of the choices. The first being what character to play. Ema went with Jill (which was probably a good idea since it was her first time and Jill’s scenario is easier).

With our character selected we were all ready to go. In true GameCenter CX style we had assembled a variety of supplies to aid us in our quest.

Ema made egg salad sammiches, and we had some Australian style licorice, mini Cadbury eggs, panda Pokey and Cheddar Pringles for snacks. Of course no challenge would be complete without Japanese cooling pads (for when the action gets intense). Ema’s favorite character in Resident Evil (yes she had a favorite character before even playing the games) is Wesker. We both had a chuckle at some of his lines (“Did you notice… Barry, he sounded a little flakey.” was our favorite), and we both guffawed during his “death scene.”

All in all we had a great time, and made great time as well! Cleared in just under 9 hours it took only slightly longer than our EVO challenge. Ema took out most of the bosses, leaving only the snake and Tyrant for J. We actually split the game time pretty equally this time; it was practically 50/50. With our fourth challenge cleared what game should we tackle next?
