So imagine my horror today as I tried to log into Joystiq.com (as I do every night at work) to discover that the company's super l33t fire wall (called Sonic Wall) has blocked, not just Joystiq, but ALL WEBSITES under the "gaming" category!

Haha, I understand that feeling. There are some games where I just need to see a snippet or two to feel like I've gotten enough out of it, but only a few games I really feel I need to play. RE5 is one of those "I just need to see it" kind of deals.

Herbert is the man compared to Hans. I hope they make winged bacon out of him at the end of the game.
