- Logged onto moodle to check the assignment again
- Went onto the web link for the tutorial, at first it wouldn't load so I had to click previous and then select next in order to play it
- My internet connection is getting a little glitchy
- The ay that the script is actually explained makes it easier to understand and replicate rather than to simply copy and hope that you did it right. Don't get me wrong I don't mind copying right from the book but I don't always understand what my script is doing... This helped me to understand that.
- I could probably use this in my sandbox assignment and make it so that statues disappear after a while or something to that effect so that it turns into a timed thing that the player would have to figure out and maybe even put in a timer with the GUI text as well to make that intention clear (I'm going to leave that game project alone for now but these were just some thoughts that I had while going through the tutorials)

While reading this I thought of this video game critic that posts animated commentary about the games he was criticizing, the most hilarious thing that I have ever been introduced to by my friends. I don't remember the link to his posts at the moment but I'll find it before long.
I've never actually played Resident Evil and my brother hasn't either but that doesn't mean that I haven't heard of it before. If the author of Extra Lives had played it back in 1997 then I was probably about 6 at the time and that would make my brother about 4, he didn't actually pick his first video game I believe until he was 6 (which was Pokemon Yellow for the Gameboy Color I believe, in fact he taught me how to play). The first really scary game that was played at my house officially was my dad playing dinosaur hunting game on the pc which genuinely pissed my mom off. But the one that my brother and I tried out was Parasite Eve for the Playstation, the both of us could only stand to sit through half of the opening cut scene before we were too scared and had to turn it off; we were able to make it to actual gameplay months later but after that it hasn't made it out of its case for a third run.
Looking back on it that graphics were absolutely horrible but from the screen shots that i've seen of the Resident Evil series they didn't seem too far apart (that's probably why my brother's never picked it up and why I've never asked him to).
Though pertaining to what what Tom Bissel says about the first in the Resident Evil series it serves as proof that it should be more of an experiment of what could be than what it will eventually become somewhere along the line. The poor positioning of the player camera, the inventory limitations, and the dialogue as well as cut scenes which brings me to another thing i thought of while reading this which was a comparison of game play that someone had done and posted on youtube. This person literally was switching back and forth between playing Resident Evil and Kingdom Hearts II while giving a comical commentary as he plays.
I thought it was an interesting comparison although it's to Resident Evil 4...
