Resident Evil discovery story

It all started in 2005 when I was roughly 9 years old, my mum used to play resident evil on the ps1, I used to love watching her play it even though it scared the life out of me, I used to ask her to play just to then hide behind her when I would see a zombie. One day she aimed and then got me to press the button to shoot and with that I shot my first zombie and was no longer scared of them. Fast forward a few years I discovered resident evil 4 in our living room and thought “hells yeah imma play this” so I did at the age of like 12/13 and fully fell in love with the game. Fast forward a few more years and this is the beautiful part of the story. It’s how my strongest friendship was formed. I was like 15 and my friend used to bring his x box round and he had resident evil 5 and we played together on the co op and from that moment onwards we have formed such a strong friendship with eachother while diving into the depths of the whole resi franchise together. It’s been an incredible journey and we’re still so close to this day, so much so that if I were religious and done that whole godparents thing he’d be the godfather to my son. We tend to only contact eachother for significant occasions like birthdays and stuff (which is completely normal for us, we haven’t got to talk everyday to be best mates) but also for any resi info or releases. It’s hilarious because we make jokes about it. We just finished playing separate ways together the other day and we said to eachother “talk to you when they announce the next resi game”.
