Wanted: Mafia Hitman To Destroy Parasitic Humans - Excellent Hazard Pay, Health Care, Weapons, Women
So, I got under the weather suddenly, and ... let's just say that I really hate being a girl. Guys don't have to worry about periods, just ED and male-pattern baldness.
I stayed in from the meeting since I was feeling quite shitty... so to release this frustration, I played RE4. Well, finished up a 10th file. Amazing, I beat this game like 10 times, and I'm still wanting MORE. [/ninja voice] *Ahem*. So, I go, "Hmm, why not play the mini-game and unlock some more goodies?"
I played Assignment Ada first, and it took me about 2 hours to beat. In all honesty, I had to get some Mcs, so that took about 30 minutes, so really an hour and a half. Let's just say this. I just about chucked my controller at the TV, because it was just so frustrating. First, Ada doesn't have the ammo capacity that Leon has, let alone weapons. Just a Punisher, TMP (which I find out that this is my friend), and a semi-rifle. I had to get the plagas samples. Second of all, my main point of frustration that there needed to be more grenades than like, 3. Then again, I just ran from any groups of ganado and that fucking JJ.
Last was the issue of health. I swear, Ada can't take a hit worth shit. I mean, one smack and I'm already in the yellow, and the second one just kills me. This was a problem with Krauser, as I had to dodge with the buttons and I was just slow. So, I went to GF and found something of a solution: Run past him as he's charging back into the room I just came from, and go back out, so he's on the other side so, all I'd have to do is snipe him. It took me about 5 times to get it right but still. And, about every section had about hordes of ganado for no apparent reason (I'm talking at least a dozen) and you don't have anything to fend them off properly.
I got the Chicago Typewriter (awesome) and I went, "Hmm, maybe I can unlock that mafia and armor set!" So I played Separate Ways (with Ada, again) but this time with better weapons and such. But you couldn't upgrade it (boo). I like the shotgun though. It's basically Leon's mission in a really small nutshell. Like say, with the Green Catseye, Hourglass, and all of that. I fought a El Gigante with 20 handgun rounds and 10 shotgun rounds, and I still had some left over. YES. Although, the Sadler fight just about pissed me off to no end. It's like he didn't take any damage at all. And stupid me, I did not save all of those bowgun darts. I had like 10. I needed about 35. They work as excellent grenades, that's for sure.
I was tense around the part that Ada had to shoot the knife out of Krauser's hand so that he doesn't stab Leon in the chest (because face it, it was the only section that I had trouble on with the mashing of the buttons). Luckily, it was just a button press and it was shot away. Yay!
Later on, I finished the mini game and immediately started a new game, buying the typewriter and selecting the special costume. Let me say this: there is just nothing better than destroying ganado with a sleek, black mafia-esque suit with a tipped fedora. I just had a giggle-fit of fangirl-ness when I equipped the typewriter. I'll take a pic when I get home. And oddly, it gave me an idea pertaining to a short story in Epsilon. It's just the matter of who is going to wear it. ^_______^ (and I have noted that there is a SEVERE lack of Leon-wearing-a-fedora icons...)
And, for the first time in about a month or so, I actually typed. About 1,216 words, 4 pages. Which is like half a chapter or something, and this was in the matter of an hour or so. *huggles Patrick* That's like a new world record for me. And I really didn't even look at what I wrote. Half of the time - read 90% - it's really bare so later on, I fill in blanks as I go along and it's just a lot more detailed and such. I had to use some imagination on some parts, as with Xander attempting to make himself useful (which he is for a change), and my attempt to create some techno-babble. Hey, at least there's a gatling-gun involved, so that usually means that it's about to get ugly. I might have to split this fight as it's almost spilling into the 3,000 word range...which makes it the 2nd longest behind 13 - 3,461) But it's not redunant or anything.
But, after I deal with this essay thing, I'll continue on with the action-fest.
