This will be a great blend of backgrounds with this franchise because you guys are Resident Evil veterans.

You've been playing these games for a very long time.

You are very familiar with them and with the lore to the extent that any Resident Evil fan can be familiar with the lore.

Whereas I am a Resident Evil noob.

And that will probably not come as a surprise to anyone who's been listening to ButtMesh for a while and knows of my cowardice.

But I have conquered that cowardice in service of podcast content.

So brave.

I know.

It is.

Thank you.

Thank you for celebrating my sacrifice, although it turned out not to be a sacrifice because guess what?

I really like this game.

Oh, my God.

I know.

What have I been missing all these years?

I've just been avoiding this franchise like a plague, and then I found that the plague is actually quite compelling, and maybe I want to play more.

So, Matt, why don't you tell us just briefly about your history with Resident Evil and your high level, big picture thoughts about Requiem and Joshua can do the same.

Yeah, that was a challenge for me.

Well, obviously.

But I was trying to be considerate and spare my four-year-old daughter any of the moaning and groaning and sometimes singing.
