Officially Addicted

Okay, so I am now officially addicted to the Resident Evil 4 game. Have been playing it 3-4 hours every night in the past few days, which counts as addicted in my book.

The beginning was difficult and very scary, so I literally had to turn the game off to do other things every few minutes because the tension was just too great. But after a while, after you get the hang of it, it becomes more enjoyable. Still scary, but more manageable.

And that’s when the addiction begins, because your curiosity takes over and you begin to want to play ahead simply to see what happens. But the game is so damned LONG! I have been playing for nearly 20 hours, died many, many times (the game tells me it’s 21), and I’m still in chapter 2! (Okay, so I’m not the best player ever. I’m a girl!)

I’m turning into one of those video game geeks! I wake Boyfriend up to tell him about the “boss” I just killed, including details such as after how many tries, with what weapons, etc. He murmurs some encouragement and tries to go back to sleep.

Occasionally he would watch my progress, and say things like: “wow, this is really scary!” “Who is that guy shooting at you? Why can’t you just be friends?” “When are you going to die so I can hug you?”

Boyfriend is still at the “amused” stage, and I hope it doesn’t turn into “alarm” or “dismay” any time soon, since, after all, Leon Kennedy still has many, many more chapters to go.
