Come to Resident Evil 5 Launch event in San Francisco photo

This Friday is the long-awaited release of Resident Evil 5. For those who flip their, uh, “lids” (and by lids, I mean s**t) for the Resident Evil series, especially the Resident Evil 4-style action-fun-time shooty-shooty, Resident Evil 5 has been a long time coming.

And what can be better than a game that lets you shoot a plethora of multi-racial zombies? How about a whole night of celebrating a game that lets you shoot a plethora of multi-racial zombies? Which is exactly what you, me, and a whole slew of Bay Area-based Dtoid community members get to experience this Thursday, March 12, 8 pm to midnight, in Union Square, San Francisco.

According to the delightful presser, there’s gonna be loads of interesting stuff going on, such as live DJs, free prizes and swag, a bunch of Capcom devs and PR dudes, and even that announcement for a new game from Capcom, which is in no way, shape or form, a Resident Evil game for the Wii. No, it couldn’t be that at all.

Anyway, so if you’re on the Best West Coast, stop on by and hang out. I swear, it’ll be hella cool! And by hella cool, I mean stuff will happen. And by stuff, I mean a marketing blitz to make you buy more stuff. Hooray!

Actually you know what? I actually wish there were black HUMAN enemies that Chris Redfield could kill. The black human enemies would be a radical black supremacist group in Africa that tried to create a zombie virus in order to unleash it upon Europe and America for revenge against hundreds of years of slavery and imperialism, but an accident occured in the lab which soon spread all over Africa. When NAACP hears about black HUMANS getting killed by a whitey, they would blow their load all over the place, and then I would say to them "yea that's right I'm racist cause I enjoy killing pixellated black people and there's nothing you can do about it, SUCK IT."

I won't guy, but I'll be sure to yell derisive things if I happen to be riding by on the 38 at that time.
