So I guess this is one of those times when I develop another obsession over somebody who is not worth obsessing over. And I mean, really, not worth it. It is not like you are able to touch him, or feel him or...well, there is no physical touch whatsoever, so to speak.
For those who has yet to catch on what I am blabbing about right now, I am talking about video game characters. Some are just plain, downright, pathetically ugly. Meanwhile, there are some you just cannot stop staring at.
So the last time was Vergil, the half-demon-half-mortal, and I still am obesessing over him. (He's got a badass, smart-mouth, insane twin brother, Dante).
Now, my obsession subject would be
Leon S. Kennedy.
When his graphic appearances enhanced in RE4, and when I first played that game, I thought: Wow, he looks great. As in overall, the game looks great. That was all there was to it - the game looks great. Graphically enhanced.
So that was my first symptom of
"Morbid Obsession", as I would like to call it. No, there is nothing morbid about an obsession. It only becomes morbid when you have the tendencies/series/continuation of an obsession over some video game characters.
(Do not, I repeat,
DO NOT, quote me on that.)
The second symptom. Instead of focusing on the game and being alert what lays ahead, I found myself staring at his back; his shoulders and his strapping figure. There is something about males and me staring at their shoulders.
And the way how he holds his gun. His hair. His eyes.
His
NECK.
So I guess, I have a thing for both shoulders and neck.
This is getting crazy, yes?
The third symptom. When he jumped down from a height and landed on his two feet so perfectly and elegantly (the masculine way), he had to catch Ashley as well (the President's daughter in that game. A slight dumb one, might I add. More of that later). When she landed in his arms, I felt something. No, not jealousy. It is more like annoyance. She just had to follow him. I mean, what is the ladder for? She could have step down the ladder, but no, she has to jump.
Now comes the part when I was so angry with Miss Ashley Graham. She's been kidnapped for several times throughout the game. Since his mission is to rescue and bring her home, he has to find her every time he lost her. No, it is not his fault, really. He did not lose her.
He never did.
Ashley Graham lost herself because she is scared shitless to move and run away from the Ganados trying to recapture her. They captured her, all right. That what makes the game longer, putting him in a whole lot of different shit before he could free her from her prison. She was carried away every time, in the arms of a Ganados, and all she could do was scream.
Scream, I tell you. That is all she does throughout the game. Well, apart from the fact that she helped him getting some things she found on her way out from the trap Salazar had set up.
So, I am typing this up because I finished half of the game, while my bro just had to interfere with my business and finished the other half of the game. So, basically, we finished the game.
Resident Evil 4 is complete.
Now, I am just doing my part finishing off the games under the Extra option.
Word has it that once you finished the Separate Ways (Ada Wong's story), Leon will be getting a Mafia-style outfit.
I have a thing for Mafia, too, so I am not giving up on that chance.
I am so going to buy
Resident Evil 5.
