Resident Evil 4

Day 81

Outside of The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time and Super Mario 64, there's only one other game I've played in almost every single platform it has been released, and that game is Resident Evil 4.

Originally came out in 2005 on Nintendo Gamecube, after started a development in 1999 and officially announced in 2002, the game is definitely one of my all time favorites and objectively speaking is one of the best games ever made and the innovations that it introduced can still be felt in many games that have been released recently.

As said before, I played it when it originally came out on Nintendo Gamecube, the little purple box that could, in 2005 and at the time it was one of the most technically advanced games in the market, but not long after, it was released on Playstation 2 - not as graphically advanced but did include "Separate Ways" - a new story mission and well, I had to play that too.

In 2007 Capcom released the Wii version of the game, that included everything the PS2 game had but with the benefit of better graphics and - as reported by many reviwers - a revolutionary new way to shoot because of the wii controller, so, again, I had to play the new version.

On the PS3 the game was released as a HD port, and well, I had to play the game on HD.  On PS4 the game was released on full hd and 60fps - and.I had to play that too.  A few years after that,it was released on Switch and obviously I had to go play it on the go.

To top it off, the game was on sale on Steam and an advance HD project was finished that added higher resolution textures and many additional improvements, so I also had to get it.

And in 2023, after way too many rumors, the Resident Evil 4 remake was released to rave reviews and well, I had to get it.

Procrastination 🥲

Day 71 I'll start by saying that I'm going back to the original schedule of posting at night instead of the following morning and that's starting tonight. The main reasons I've been skipping late posting in the last few days come down to two reasons: 1- Being extremely tired after some stressful days that included a bit of insomnia, dinners out, heavy gym, unmindful cats, etc which left me a it drained to sit on my computer. 2- Procrastination - 😐 You see, I know that I could have made it work if and only if I would have put a bit more effort but, since I could make it the next day in early hours, then why not? In the past I've always struggled a bit with procrastination but thankfully I've never had any serious issue with it but I know I could do better. You may say "but this is just a blog, is not important or anything, why you think this deserves the effort?" Well, if I don't show the proper respect it deserves, then who will? I put being tired

A Dominican Maestro!

Day 99 Out of all the great artist that have come from the Dominican Republic, no one is bigger or better than the Maestro Juan Luis Guerra and the reasons are abundant.  For the uninitiated, JLG is a musician with about a 40-year long career with mainly Latin rhythms like Merengue and Bachata but also covering Salsa, guaracha, rock, blues and many other. But what makes him amazing?  Well, for me, it all comes down to his craft: the music and lyrics are just amazing, is like a poem made into music and he is not afraid of touching all types of topics: love, pain, breakups, politics, religion, happiness, sadness, joyfulness, sorrow... basically sings of anything at any given time but I do have to highlight that love is his main topic. He is a highly respected musician in the industry and one of the biggest latin american stars who has won many Grammy awards, and is currently the leader of most Latin Grammy awards so far with 28 awards.  Even though is loathe by many back home (due to mos

Pi Day

Day 72 As mentioned a few days ago, Pi Day was upon us, and well, today is Pi Day.   Pi Day has been an annual celebration of the constant Pi since 1988 and is observed on March 14 due to the typical date format in the USA (month/day).   The main purpose is to highlight the maths and lay down a bit of knowledge about the constant to the general population. It is obseved in many different ways by having discussions, eating/baking pies due to the words pi and pie being homophones and the particularity that pi has to do with circles, and pies tend to be circular in shape, some schools have competitions where students compete on who can recall pi the longst, etc. Initially I started observing this day back in 2012 when I became aware of its existance, and I just "celebrate it" by acknowleding the its existance on a simple facebook post that read "Happy Pi Day!!" and that first time it didn't get much tracktion at all, just one friend "liked" the post
