Here's My New Home

If you're reading this, you've found my new blog. Huzzah!

I can't think of much to say, this post being essentially a placeholder marking my new blog's address.

Fun facts:

I actually started writing this post the same night I posted my "Updates 11/28/17" post on my old blog. Including, but not limited to, these very words!

"Raebolio" is what a buddy of mine by the name of Alex Gorsky used to call me in college. I can't believe it's taken me this long to realize that word sounds like the perfect name for a blog that I run.

I'm going to start branching out from here on out. I'm still going to be writing, but I also want to do a lot more podcasting. I'm also working on creating a Youtube channel.

I used to have a widget on my old site called "Daily Puppies", which would randomly generate stock photos of cute puppies. Getting rid of it was one of the biggest mistakes Google has ever made.

I'm still going to shoot for two articles a week, Tuesday and Thursday. If not one, then the other.

Also, if you'd like to give suggestions for things I should write about, things you'd like to read, or anything else, feel free to hit me up on Facebook or message me @MattRaebel on Twitter.

Apparently there's a "Follow By Email" thing, so feel free to sign up for annoying emails that will tell you every time I post something.

Also, I wrote an article about "Battlefront 2". You should check that out.

Capcom's anti-union hiring practices

Last week , I wrote about the remake of "Resident Evil 2," which was announced just before E3. This week, I want to talk about something close to my heart - even more so, possibly, than "Resident Evil"...because the only thing I care about more than the "Resident Evil" video games are the rights of the people making them. "Resident Evil 2" centers around the story of two protagonists: Leon S. Kennedy and Claire Redfield. Before he went on to be the roundhouse-kicking poster boy of the franchise after the explosive success of "Resident Evil 4," Leon was a wet-behind-the-ears rookie who spent as much time complaining about how "nobody listens to me" as he did taking orders from civilians, despite being the only cop alive in the police precinct. After "RE2," Claire didn't see as much success. She next appeared in "Code: Veronica," my personal favorite of the series. Alyson Court, pictured above, re

"Solo: A Star Wars Story," AKA what pisses me off about my fellow nerds

***Minor spoilers for "Solo: A Star Wars Story" herein*** On rare occasions, I manage to avoid trailers before seeing a movie like "Solo: A Star Wars Story." I go in a total blank slate, and I get to enjoy or dislike the movie pure of externally-inherited bias. That said, apparently it was a particularly good thing I did so with this movie. A couple  of articles, as well as this video , have been circulating the web. The consensus seems to be that a good number of people wanted the movie to fail because they don't like that it was a movie about Han Solo that didn't include Harrison Ford as the lead role. Or, they didn't like that the project was greenlit at all. Or...name any of the millions of reasons people could have for hating a movie they haven't seen. I genuinely believe a lot of the Web-based hysteria comes not from people who saw the movie, but fans of certain reviewers. Apparently film critic Angry Joe, the Forbes writer Dani

Why the REmake of "Resident Evil 2" was inevitable

E3 came and went again, and while everyone else was freaking out over "Cyberpunk 2077" or "Dying Light," I was interested in another announcement that flew relatively under the radar. Anyone who knows me knows this...I am obsessed with "Resident Evil," especially the early games. "Resident Evil 2" is getting a remake. Arguably, "RE2" is the favorite among hardcore fans, aside from the legendary "Resident Evil 4." As far as the old-hat Resident Evils go, it's the one everyone can agree on. It's not the first time an old title got an "update;" in 2002, "Resident Evil," the first in the series, got a total overhaul from its original PlayStation 1 graphics on the Gamecube. Besides improved graphics and voice acting (and let's all thank our respective religious deities for that), it included new areas and new enemies, including Lisa Trevor - the unkillable face-collecting monstrosi
