## Resource

Our File 2 celebrations continue as this time the REP team head deep into Raccoon Forest to investigate a mystery that has been ongoing since 1993 when Kurt, a reporter from Raccoon City, went mysteriously missing following rumours of illegal goings-on at an old hospital in the mountains. Join us as Neptune comes face to face with Al Lester and his axe, and listen to STARS_TyranT's increasing despair about his team's failure to utilise the auto-aim function when surrounded by wasps. We discuss Flashback's unique setting, the enemies, puzzles and of course a deep-live into the lore and backstory. Next we make our last stand at the R.P.D. and barricade ourselves inside the famous police station as the zombies close in outside. We discuss all the quirks of this scenario including how it pays respectful homage to the games that came before and revealing a few secrets that enhance the overall experience. This is quintessential Resident Evil and a micro-slice of what makes this series so enduring to this day. Just shut off the nerve gas defence system please... Finally to round things off is the season 8 finale of Neptune's biohazard quiz.
