Out of curiosity, do any of you collect any particular video games and/or a specific series aside from Biohazard/Resident Evil? If so, what is it and do you have a couple of photos in general or favourite items? I collect Clock Tower, DEMENTO/Haunting Ground, Drag-on Dragoon/Draknegard and NieR stuff for my main things. I used to collect Bio but there's so much stuff, not enough space! A little bit of my stuff below:

I am a huge fan of concept arts, so i try to collect as much concept stuff as i can get from any game, anime or manga i like. Sadly many don't have Art Books or any physical material that are purchase able, so i collect mainly digital. The only few Artbooks i have are from Bioshock, Resident Evil, Tomb Raider, Soul Calibur, Tekken, Killer is Dead and InuYasha. ( those are not my favorite series.... not even close, beside RE) I collect some Manga series, but that means only that i buy the Volumes and most of them have only 10+ Volumes, so not that much to collect. But i will collect much more stuff after i finish university..... ..... by the way Haunting Ground and Clock tower are pretty awesome! i would love to get a remake of Clock Tower 2 - The Struggle Within, much more than RE 2 Sadly those games are extinct, they have consumed too much azoth! .... And what the hell is that giant Claire carton, don`t tell me you have a huge Claire statue..... and a Büste of Miss Belli!!! it is almost criminal to have so much awesome reliks.

Ahhh, what Tekken artbooks do you have out of curiosity? I'm a big Tekken fan as well. (Though speaking of Tomb Raider, that reminded me that I actually have a box of old Eidos Japanese marketing VHS tapes somewhere). Ah, Ghost Head. I liked it, the music was neat but I was not fond of how they tried to... Americanize/Westernize (? I'm not entirely sure how to put it) the setting when it was very clearly set in Japan. That and the lack of a PAL territory release wasn't exactly good, but considering what was happening with HUMAN it wasn't very surprising... DEMENTO/Haunting Ground is not quite dead yet, it is on PSN (at least the Japanese one) as a Classic but with it's lack of movement despite registration outside of Japan as a digital classic makes me hope that it may wind up on PS4 as well. Unfortunately the Demento 10th anniversary soundtrack sampler release got cancelled because people voted for an alternative Rockman one instead of it. Very upset over this still. :/ As for that, the box of the Claire is actually the official CODE: Veronica 1/6 scale figure by Dragon. I have both the Claire and Chris ones, I also have a few of the Hot Toys figures and have been working on custom ones. I have a bust of Fiona, but I am unfortunately lacking the 2008 GK GillGill statue with base of Fiona. If we were to really talk about relics: there's also a couple of prototype things floating around in the photo of the pile of Clock Tower stuff, but that's another story.

Americanize/Westernize is SOOOOO SUUUPERR STUPID, i can`t understand how someone can even think that this could be a good idea. Changing names, or even whole environments or characters .... I know exactly what you mean. Western Publisher :"..... just make this character black so that Western people can better classify him. It is total necessary because they can`t understand otherwise. And call this guy John, Western people can`t remember Japanese names. I am a genius and don`t care about art or authenticity....blablabla."

Oh Yes, the Haunting Ground intro song "Endless Zero". Since i first heard it, it is on my all time favorite playlist. I would like to get an instrumental version of it. Songs like that or for example "A Shadow Creeping Near" , from Clock Tower 3, trigger so much emotions simply when hearing the first seconds.

Tag Tournament 2 was great, the soundtrack was fantastic too. Good pick. It was really badly done, but it was neat to have Roger L. Jackson voice Shou/Bates in it. Ah, the intro song is Endless・・・DEMENTO. Endless Zero is the one that plays within the credits and also has the Eljen Wien (long live vienna?) mix on the soundtrack with a piano over the synths. It's confusing with them both being called 'Endless ---' so I'm not entirely sure which one you're referring to. Ahhh, a Shadow Creeping Near is certainly one of those tracks! It's awful hearing that when you don't want to hear it hahaha.

Anything and everything made by Capcom and Valve.
FarCry 3 onwards. 1 and 2 are too hard to get into after 3.
Raiden III and IV

If i hear that song one of the first pictures in my mind is how Fiona walks through those corridors wearing a blanket. So i think that is the culprit why i thought it was played in the intro too.Overseer wrote: "Ahhh, a Shadow Creeping Near is certainly one of those tracks!

I'd have liked to have gotten into the FarCry series but I can't do first person stuff. Raiden games though, great choice. Overseer wrote: " Ah, the intro song is Endless・・・DEMENTO.

As for CT3, for me, my brain has it associated with the axes. Probably as one of my versions had a glitch that would crash the game around that time frame, though Impending Destruction was also one I got very sick of hearing due to the one at the very start of the game.
