Met DC Douglas the voice of Wesker surprisingly and I HAD to get at him. I told him Wesker was one of my all time favorite villains in anything and an inspiration for own ideas in evil characters.

He read out my brother's shirt in Wesker's voice, "Keep calm, and kill zombies!" Which seemed kinda strange but it was awesome.

Drakul 07-07-2013 05:00 PM

Earthbound is out on Wii U VC. First time it's ever been out in Europe. It's a bit more expensive than the usual SNES VC games. £6.99.

Poit 07-18-2013 04:36 PM
