20 Things Only Resident Evil Fans Will Understand

14. Sherry Birkin Is The Most Annoying Brat In Computer Gaming History

It's pretty obvious that if a kid with no weaponry was surrounded by undead creatures of all sorts, it would cling to a living adult. Does Claire have really bad B.O.? Why is Sherry always running away from her? She makes Claire€™s life considerably harder than Ada makes Leon€™s life hard. And as a result the most fun you will ever have with her is trying to get zombies to puke all over her when you control her in Resident Evil 2.

13. Everyone Writes Diaries

In Resident Evil land, everyone from the highest authorities down to the janitor compulsively write diaries: they are basically a community of Samuel Pepys. They then leave them lying around for any Tom, Dick or Harry to look at, pretty helpfully. Perhaps the most famous diary entry in Resident Evil came in the first instalment of the series where Chris/Jill reads the diary of a man who is obviously infected with the virus and is turning into a zombie. He documents this in the diary and his last observation is €œItchy. Tasty.€. He then bursts out of the closet behind you and tries to eat you. Vintage Resident Evil.
