Some things are eternally etched into your psyche. The last sunset of your favourite beach holiday. The wafting scent of your grandma's cooking. The gravelly drawl of Resident Evil 4's merchant asking "Whaddya buyin?"
OK, one of those things is not like the others, granted, but Paul Mercier's reprisal as the gun-slinging merchant from Resident Evil 4 - my favourite NPC from my favourite video game -will forever occupy a part of my brain.
For the uninitiated, Resident Evil 4 drops the franchise's zombies for the Ganados - a 'flock' of parasitically controlled religious zealots who will stop at nothing to either infect or vivisect you. Think Cordyceps, but before it was cool.
