Top 10 Stupidest Resident Evil Moments

Resident Evil has a reputation for being badly written and stupid, something I don't think it deserves.  The games have more strong emotional moments, badass moments and detailed lore than people give it credit for. Heroes, villains and the monsters in between them are well-established and have some good relationship building and continuity.  I can unironically say that a big part of why I like the Resident Evil games is for the story.

But I cannot pretend that Resident Evil doesn't have its bouts of stupidity, as if the concept of viruses being astoudingly mutagenic weren't outlandish enough.  Bad writing, bad delivery, bizarre concepts or awkward handling of situations are where its reputation comes from and regardless of whether it's exaggerated by the general public, it is still a part of what makes Resident Evil what it is.  As a sort of demonstration and celebration, this is my top 10 stupidest Resident Evil moments.

Magic the Gathering: Arena of the Planeswalkers Review

This won't be nearly as long or as detailed as my other reviews, but I feel that this is a game worth sharing.  Like most stereotypical nerd types, my interests in games cover both video games and tabletop games.  I’m not a big fan of resource management games like Scythe, Settlers of Katan or Terraforming Mars.  I favor the direct approach, with games all about taking your skills directly to the other players in games of wit and excitement.  Games like Arcadia Quest, Zombicide, the Resident Evil Deck Building Game, Epic Spell Wars of the Battle Wizards and Tragedy Looper.  Among all the board games I play, one that is consistently my favorite is Magic the Gathering: Arena of the Planeswalkers.
