| ‘Resident Evil 2’ Remake Mod Replaces Mr. X With Jason Voorhees (Video) |
While I’m not a big survival horror fan, and have only played a couple of Resident Evil games briefly, there was no denying that the recently released Resident Evil 2 remake looked pretty awesome.

She enlist her best friend Quinn (Chelsea Lane) to be her designated gym bud, to which Quinn begrudgingly agrees to. You can check out the first three (of five) episodes below, including the most recent musical episode “Internet Plan.”
