[Poison Shadow]

So, I would like to reiterate my wish for some Evil Within figures. The game unfortunately turns into a pewpewbangbang action-fest at the halfway point, but it's still a fun experience and I'm trying not to let the action bother me. There are plenty of Resident Evil homages/references as well, right down to the KCPD badges looking very much like the S.T.A.R.S. patch.

^^ I made a video of the first chapter, for those who are interested. It's a really challenging game. I must have died 20 times in that first chapter. Didn't think to record the first half of 'em. There aren't any usable weapons at that point.

If you liked Resident Evil 4, you'll like this game. Now that I'm thinking back, it is RE4 nearly beat-for-beat. There's a village early on with a chainsaw-wielding maniac, a "hold the line" sequence with a NPC very much like the cabin with Luis, an encounter similar to the one with Salazar's "right hand", etc. etc. The environments are better this time around, though, with (at least so far) no boring castle or military island. Plus the basic enemies are actually major threats, not cannon fodder.

I'd really like to own some toys of the more notable monsters. Someone is making a statue of Boxman/Keeper, but it's out of my price range.

As for movies, I'm just about to watch Nosferatu for the first time... but something else on Netflix caught my eye. It's a fictional "making of" for Nosferatu, starring John Malkovich and Willem Dafoe. Can't remember the title right now. Only watched the first half so far, but I like it, and it's making me want to see the actual movie that much more.

Sorry for any typos. VERY sleepy.
