Resident Evil 5 Release!
Anyway, I read online that the game’s sparking a lot of controversy, because of the allegedly racial issues. The main character’s White, and a lot of the enemies he has to gun down are blacks. I don’t know, but for me, it’s not really an issue (and I don’t mean to offend people here). The game hasn’t been accused of racism against the Spaniards back when RE4 was released, so I don’t know why they’re pulling out the race card now. It’s not their skin color that makes them the "bad guys" - they’re pretty much the walking dead already, since they’ve been infected. It’s like those crazy zombie movies (not just RE movies!) they make: race becomes a nonfactor when you’re already a zombie. Besides, from what I heard, infected Africans aren’t the only enemies there - in fact, the main baddie of the group is also white like Chris. That’s just me, though. Again, no offense to anyone there. Okay, I’ll stop spazzing now.
Today’s March 13, the day RE5 gets released to the majority of the stores around the world! Woohoo! I still haven’t bought the console, but I don’t mind not being one of the first to play the game (especially since I’m one of the people who love spoilers, and I can watch the cutscenes or read up online to know what the story is XD). I can’t wait to get my hands on the game too, since it has one of my favorite characters of the franchise as the lead character: Chris Redfield (and I still think he’s hot, one of the few rugged-looking guys that I actually appreciate.XD The other’s Danny Messer(Carmine Giovinazzo), but let’s not go there XD). 
The one thing that makes me anticipate the game so much is that it might answer my question about Chris and Jill. Please, Capcom, give us a sign that the two ended up together!XD

Ah, I really can’t handle these horror games, I get way too scared. ;__;
I don’t see what the issue is either, though. If the games have targeted other groups as villains (for plot reasons, I’m sure,) then it’s obviously not black people being portrayed as villainous. It seems to be common for people to jump the racism gun, though, and it’s a shame~
Enjoy the game, when you can! ♥

peaceadvance: Haha, I started playing when I got so stressed that I had to have an outlet.XD You’re so right, I hate racism too (I’ve been looked down on when I visited another country, w/e) but pulling out the racism card on this game is more than a little unfair.
fairlady: Wahahahaha! I knoooow. I might.XD I’m still weighing the consequences. After all, I only want to play one game anyway. It’s too much of a waste of money. Wish there’s such a thing as a Rent-A-Console thing here.
Zel: x_x *throws Zel in a pit filled with bloodthirsty zombies*

*But Leon appeared and defeats Chris with his lock pick*
March 16th, 2009 at 5:34 am
*And Jill cuts Leon’s hair to avenge Chris, and Leon runs away screaming like a girl*

*Then Ada appears & shaves Jills head taking her picture after and posts it on the internet.*
March 17th, 2009 at 3:08 am
*Then Claire comes along and throws a can of yellow paint at Ada*
March 17th, 2009 at 3:34 am
*But Ada has quick reflexes, she was able to catch the can in mid-air & throws it back to Claire*
March 17th, 2009 at 5:15 am
*Who is faster than Ada and shoves it back at her, this time with ugly orange paint and splashes Ada*
March 17th, 2009 at 6:06 am
*But it was only just a shadow clone Ada had made, She was actually behind Claire all along and splats her in the face with mud pie*

Shadow clone? What the…?o_o Anyway…
*So Wesker enters the scene and force feeds Ada with fried chicken*
