This Friday is the long-awaited release ofResident Evil 5. For those who flip their, uh, “lids” (and by lids, I mean s**t) for theResident Evilseries, especially theResident Evil 4-style action-fun-time shooty-shooty,Resident Evil 5has been a long time coming.

And what can be better than a game that lets you shoot a plethora of multi-racial zombies? How about a whole night of celebrating a game that lets you shoot a plethora of multi-racial zombies? Which is exactly what you, me, and a whole slew of Bay Area-based Dtoid community members get to experience this Thursday, March 12, 8 pm to midnight, in Union Square, San Francisco.

According to the delightful presser, there’s gonna be loads of interesting stuff going on, such as live DJs, free prizes and swag, a bunch of Capcom devs and PR dudes, and even that announcement for a new game from Capcom, which is in no way, shape or form, aResident Evilgame for the Wii.No, it couldn’t be that at all.

Anyway, so if you’re on theBestWest Coast, stop on by and hang out. I swear, it’ll be hella cool! And by hella cool, I mean stuff will happen. And by stuff, I mean a marketing blitz to make you buy more stuff. Hooray!
