Today, I’m learning how to generate MIDI files with Perl. So far, this has been a fairly straight forward process. This is most likely due to the fact that MIDI hasn’t really changed since 1983.
I’m sort of a nut for anything zombie related. Which is weird since I’m not really into violent/horror films. However, I play a lot of video games. Which, I guess, are loaded with the ultra violence.
One of favorite franchises is Capcom’s Resident Evil series. In particular, I love the Resident Evil 1 remake and Resident Evil 4.
The next title in the series, Umbrella Chronicles, mixes things up a bit, as it is going to be an on-rails shooter that utilizes the wiimote for placing the undead into your cross hairs. More shooting, less adventure. There is plenty of message board outcry over this new format. However, I couldn’t be more pleased for a couple of reasons. One, it’s nice to see older franchises taken into new territory. Two, Resident Evil 5 is in the works, so we’ll still be getting a true sequel.
