1977.

Also, bravo, please don't double post.

Next question, what year did Birkin join the Arklay Facilities?

Hmm, by Arklay facilities do you mean training facility? If so, I'd have to say 1977 again lol.

Hmmm, that is the Management Training Facility or Umbrella Research Center, I was referring to Arklay, which is under the Spencer Estate.

Oh ok. Well they are both in the Arklay mountains so I wasn't sure. Then my answer is 1979.

Is that your final answer?

Well the year is 1978....I'm sorry..as Birkin joined Arklay at the age of 16, so sixteen years after 1962...that is 1978.

Are you sure? Because I'm 22 this year and next year...

EDIT: Ah, you're right. They joined in July 1978. But my answer was still plausible!

Yeah, but you were only off by a year.

I think you deserve the next question anyway.

Right-o then...How did Resident Evil 0 and the Umbrella Chronicles differ in the telling of how Rebecca Chambers and Billy Coen met?

RE0 had a cool scene where Billy(with his smooth criminal voice) holds a gun up to Rebecca and they meet, while UC which has both of them set with terrible sounding actors, Billy does do a cool kick to the grill of a zombie and then says a stupid line, "Can we put a hold on the whole arresting me thing?"....

Correct. I have to admit that I'm a dumbass. I actually thought the RE0 meeting was when Billy dove and shot one of the leeches in that room with the first leech creature. My bad... UC's meeting was kind of...lolish. Billy was just swinging there like a monkey lol.

And by the way,even if I like more this cinematic than you,he was already carrying the Magnum in this cutscene,and not his 9mm military pistol(wich is a kind of colt)...a bit funny when you think he got this gun only once they are fighting the leech queen in re0.

Yeah I noticed that too, I wonder why they did that, as they also used the magnum for alot of the artwork for UC....

And the magnum did look cool, but they didn't need to screw with the continuity just for the sake of a cool gun....or did they..

@Nite, Oh yeah, I remember that one like it was yesterday. That was a really cool scene thought, where you see the first Mimicry Marcus and his head falls off.

Okay, next question:

What was the role of both Wesker and Birkin in RE0?

I noticed that also PE! I was like holy crap! Then when I saw he doesn't actually use it I was like . It looked like one heck of a gun though.

Hmmm, I have noticed that the little smiley face icons aren't showing up....

Yes, I noticed that also. I was going to try and answer your question up there, but I've been trying to do it without looking stuff up and I think that I will fail at this one lol.

Perhaps we will leave it or Mr. Gun expert, PE.

Indeed we shall. Soon enough I have to play through all the main REs again. I have never even finished RE0. :'(

Well I have played RE0 nearly 5 or 6 times, would have done more but it is actually a moderatley challenging one, just like CVX, but it has been so long since I have gone through it, so I will do that soon too.

Yeah, I'd say 0 is the hardest one I've played. They really weren't screwing around. When the game has an option in the load menu to start your game over, you know you're effed. lol I just haven't finished because...Oh it makes me so madddd!!! So you know that cutscene where Billy falls over the rail right by that train thing? Well I triggered that scene with extremely low health and so it saved there. But there is also a Marcus leech thing RIGHT THERE!!! So every time I load, I have to pull off some amazing acrobatic running to not get hit by it because it is swinging at me right when it loads. If it misses me, I still have to find a way to kill it and I hardly have any ammo lol. Gives me ulcers.

Yeah, those damn Exterminators.....I hate monkies after playing RE0 and UC.

Hmmm, you know I remember that part, that is where you have to get to the room where you placed those things right? Then you put them back in to get the power back and you leave on the trolley.....

I just ran around the Mimicry Marcus....it was a piece of pie.

It'd be easier if he didn't have the reach of Mr. Fantastic...

Lmfao.

Yeah, well you should have done some barrel rolls and somersaults...didn't you know we are able to do that in RE now? duh

Haha, my bad. I didn't have leather clothing or a trenchcoat so I didn't even think to try that.

Oh that is right we don't get those articles of clothing in RE0....you need them though, it is mandatory to do those gymnastics acrobatics.

Ok so I guess this one's up to me,
then here we go:

Birkin and Wesker were given the task to go to the(not so)abandonned Umbrella Training facility and see if it could be get back uprunning and functional...but this task was completely ruined by Marcus(aka queen leech),at the moment they discovered who he was, they both took a different way,
Wesker decided to get away and initiate the plan of bringin the S.T.A.R.S. alpha team to the mansion for B.O.W test purpose,but before that he had to fight agaisnt Ivan because of his "fail".
Birkin decided to stay and initiate the self-destruct system of the facility.


@Nite:yes this magnum kick's ass it really rocks with his nicelly made skin,the Raging Bull is always a true beauty of a gun.


ps:those Mimicry Marcus were a pain in the arse to kill,I usually avoid them,but then if you got some molotovs its easier than a single zombie to kill one of them,well perhaps not that much but still it's really easier to kill them(and they dont explode if they die from burning).

That is right PE, I guess you got the next question.

But I would like to add something to the answer:

Wesker & Birkin were assigned to two different teams, with the objective being the reclamation of the Management Training Facility. Marus' disruption caused them to have to ditch the objectives and follow other plans.

Wesker decided to lure the STARS Alpha Team into the mansion and would basically be the start of his plan which involved making it seem as if he were dead as well as using the T-002's combat data as a way to buy in to this Organization.

Birkin stayed behind as he was nearly finished with his life's work on the G-Virus. He also activated the self-destruct system, and continued to work on G for the next 2 months...
