Pre-order ‘Resident Evil 6’ From The Capcom Store For A Very Special Umbrella

Published

on

Don’t you just hate it when it starts raining and you realize you’ve left your raggedy ass umbrella at home? If you say you haven’t been in this position than you’re full of lies. All of us have gone through this, and it always ends with us taking the wet walk of shame back to our homes to pick up that pathetic excuse for an umbrella we leave tucked away in the darkest corner of the deepest closet. I say we all stand together and kick those crappy umbrellas to the curb so we can replace them with umbrellas that just ooze sex. It just so happens the pre-order bonus you get when you reserve Resident Evil 6 from the Capcom store is a very special Umbrella Corp. umbrella (it’s different from, and I dare say better than the one they’re currently selling individually). With this umbrella you can stand tall. Rain will fear you, hail will try its best to strike elsewhere, and snow will melt in terror, falling harmlessly against it. Oh, and that person you’ve had your eye on? Yeah, he/she will definitely finally notice you and immediately run to your side so they can stand underneath your newly acquired defense against the elements.

Feast your eyes on the custom Umbrella umbrella below, and if it tickles your fancy you can head over to the Capcom store to pre-order the game. They have a limited supply, so I suggest you act fast before all the other hungry geeks steal them all.

different from one they have in their store now

‘Jurassic Park’ Actor Sam Neill Has Passed Away at 78

Sam Neill in 'Jurassic Park'

Sam Neill, the New Zealand actor best known for his role in 1993’s Jurassic Park, has passed away this week at 78 years old. In a statement shared on Neill’s Instagram page this morning, the actor’s family said that his passing was “sudden and unexpected.”

Neill had been diagnosed with a rare blood cancer in 2022, but stated the following year that he was in remission. The family notes that he “remained cancer free” at the time of his passing.

The family statement reads, “It is with immense sadness that the whānau of Sam Neill share the news of his passing on Monday 13th July, in Sydney Australia. Sam was surrounded by family and passed with the dignity that has characterised his whole life. The loss was sudden and unexpected but blessed by the fact that Sam remained cancer free.

“They would like to express their deepest gratitude to the staff at St Vincent’s Private Hospital for their incredible care. More details will be shared later, but for now, on behalf of the family, we ask that you respect their privacy as they navigate this immeasurable loss.”

In addition to his iconic role as Dr. Alan Grant in the original Jurassic Park and the sequels Jurassic Park III and Jurassic World: Dominion, Sam Neill left an indelible mark on the horror genre with memorable roles in Andrzej Żuławski’s Possession, The Omen: The Final Conflict, John Carpenter’s In the Mouth of Madness, and sci-fi horror favorite Event Horizon.

Sam Neill’s vast resume in film and television began in the early 1970s and also includes the films Sleeping Dogs, Enigma, The Good Wife, A Cry in the Dark, Dead Calm, The Hunt for Red October, Memoirs of an Invisible Man, Hostage, The Jungle Book, Snow White: A Tale of Terror, The Horse Whisperer, Bicentennial Man, Daybreakers, Escape Plan, and Thor: Ragnarok.

Sam Neill is survived by his four children and eight grandchildren.

Steven Spielberg said in a statement to Variety, “I owe a debt of gratitude to Roger Donaldson, Gilliam Armstrong, Graham Baker and Phillip Noyce for casting Sam Neill in the roles in which he was so brilliant that brought him to my attention and led to his playing Dr. Alan Grant in Jurassic Park. Sam was exceptionally collaborative. It was a stretch for him to play a character who acted as though children were messy and smelly because this was the opposite of the loving father he was to his children. I adored making all the Jurassic movies with him.”

Spielberg adds, “Along with Laura Dern and Jeff Goldblum, we will always have our Jurassic family and Sam will never be forgotten by us or his many millions of fans around the world.”
