Well, I'm prepared for Saints Row!

My avatar's first attire is finished!

Tough question because mine are limited.

But one of them includes Rainbow Mika because she's underrated, valuable, and fun to use. Her notable "assets" aren't the only reason she caught my attention because she's just very exciting. I'm really hoping and wishing she'll return in Street Fighter 6. But this time, bolder and peachier!

Since it's Resident Evil 2's anniversary. Specifically, the original 1998 version, I've decided it's time to address why Claire Redfield is firstly canon. I know it'll seem odd since Leon is also a playable protagonist. But believe me, there's reasons. They're absolutely vital.

Firstly, let's discuss Arklay Mountains. Chris and his squad attempted to uncover everything about Raccoon City's outbreak but are forced into more than they bargained for. Half of them die but Chris managed to survive with whoever he saved. Also, learning Wesker betrayed them.

Wesker's betrayal was vital. Because now, Chris is hellbent to uncover the truth and becomes Umbrella's target. But this is all while Raccoon City continues descending into chaos during the outbreak. Then, he goes "missing". Now, Chris' subplot has baggage. There's more to it.

As this story continues. Resident Evil 2's story is divided but interconnected. However, despite advertisements, Claire Redfield's directly continues where Chris' ended. Once she's chosen, everything begins connecting more. While Raccoon City gets worse. She's still searching.

Claire Redfield's story is deeper. Her entire experience was simply surviving Raccoon City while investigating the diabolical truth beneath. But after learning her brother is "missing", leaving hints of his whereabouts, she never stopped. Her entire story becomes more integral.

Notice how Claire's story unfolds. Her interactions with everything and everyone are naturally flowing. The game feels like it was truly meant for her. Anything without her wouldn't have the same chronological impact. Because, it's truly about her journey. It's truly her game.

Yes, Leon has vitalness. But set aside nostalgia and think about it. Leon's story was intriguing because of the RPD subplot. But while it's happening, he did significantly lesser than Claire when comparing situations. Again, Leon is still vital. But doesn't have enough impact.

Without Claire, it's different. Now, it's about a rookie cop uncovering and surviving an outbreak solo. Nobody except Ada, and maybe Sherry Birkin, are "important" to his story. But without them, he escapes solo and only returns in RE4/6. This totally sabotages Code: Veronica.

Without Claire, Code: Veronica doesn't work. Because without her, Chris wouldn't randomly visit Rockfort Island. But the island was inhabited by Umbrella with another outbreak caused by a revived Wesker. Also, until Las Plagas is relevant, Leon was elsewhere. Also, Alexia wins.

Code: Veronica is about Chris and Claire. Leon is briefly mentioned but nowhere found. The entire game is about these siblings thriving long enough to reunite. In order, these brought contexts, baggage, and conclusions to their subplots. But, Code: Veronica remained unresolved.

Happy Birthday, Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty!

Out of many, it's one of my favorites because it remains relevant in many ways and is overall astounding. It's one of Hideo Kojima's masterpieces and deserves experiences!

Capcom: Vergil is back!

Happy Birthday, Yohjo Simulator!

You're one of THE worst "games" I've experienced. But don't fret, I've decided to deliver you something special for this particular anniversary!

I know I'm late to the Halloween costume party. But here's my faithful Steve Burnside cosplay. I hope Resident Evil CODE: Veronica is remade. It'd be awesome seeing another rendition!

I’ve finally seen the 2020 film adaptation of Sonic the Hedgehog!

This means war and the motherfucking gloves are off.
