Caught Stray From the Path’s last ever Scottish gig last night, before they disband for good.
Brilliant band if you’re into the likes of Rage Against the Machine - with a heavier edge and politically charged lyrics. Superb 👏

The director of Contra III mandated that something interesting or new should happen every time the screen scrolled in full three times.
That’s why there are so many mini bosses and set pieces in the game, and why it’s one of the best SNES games (I’ll absolutely die on this hill)

So, Devil May Cry 2 was a 2 DVD game. It didn't have to be; the two discs weren't much more than a glorified character select.
Go ahead, swap those discs during gameplay! What changes? Does anything get corrupted?
NOPE! Game still runs like normal.

i was going through my X archives and found this by @superpodsaga.com, which I qrt'd at some point years ago
