- And of course, I would love my own #bespokeballads. because, reasons.... :)May 20, 13 from web Reply, Retweet, Favorite

- #Tumblr queue changes = EPIC FAIL!May 20, 13 from web Reply, Retweet, Favorite
- I was having a great weekend. And then I read that Yahoo intends to buy #Tumblr :-(
- @SarahRamsingh Love would be a strong term to use, but 6 was big dumb fun and I enjoyed it and yes, it was worth the money :-)
- Longest. Runway. Ever. That's all I wish to say about #FastandFurious6
- #DoctorWho was a bit special, wasn't it?!
- Loving the Amiga classic Super Cars 2 this evening thanks to UAE4Droid on my shiny new Archos Gamepad.
- @SarahRamsingh You'll have to prise it out of my hands, it's running SNES R-Type 3 at the moment and it is glorious :-)
- The ending to #Arrow was very cool, great way to end a season and looking forward to year two!
- @SarahRamsingh The Gamepad is running 4.1 JB :-)
- Despite the flaws, the Archos Gamepad is going to be a lot of fun to use. Nice big screen and wide choice of controls equals WIN :-)
- ... a software update has improved things a lot. Battery life is terrible though, an hour of use and I'm down to 60%.
- ... but those first impressions went downhill quickly on starting to use it. The initial firmware was pretty shocking but, thankfully...
- I've been playing with my new toy, an Archos Gamepad! Out-of-the-box first impressions were great, the device really is very nice...
- I got me a snazzy magnetic case today for my iPad. Hardly life changing, but it's actually really cool. And for fun, it's bright orange! :-)
- So disappointed with City Link for failing to deliver my new toy. Order tracking still claims delivery before 17.30 today :( #epicfailMay 15, 13 from web Reply, Retweet, Favorite
- Time to watch the end of #Touch. I'll miss Jake and co, though I much preferred season 1 to 2.
- I enjoy all of #GameOfThrones but most of the characters and storylines are merely "good" whereas the Dothraki arc has always been excellent

The star of the Gradius series is looking excellent here! Enjoy friends.
Gradius - the start of a legacy. The great granddaddy of the modern shoot-em-up. Combining multiple kinds of power-ups, detailed and varied graphics, and challenging gameplay with memorizable levels, Gradius basically set the conventions for shoot-em-up games that even modern members of the Bullet Hell genre follow today (albeit with many additions.)
The older brother to Salamander, Gradius has a much less organic, more mechanical and static essence to it, which works well with its gameplay and animation which feel slightly less fluid in this initial incarnation. Later games in the series would improve upon the animation and variety, and my personal favorite, Gradius III, would even let you customize your array of achievable power-ups when you start the game, but they would never have the honor of laying the foundation for literally dozens of other games that followed.
The official art for Gradius is a masterpiece that brings together the art style of older game covers such as those seen on the Atari 2600, and the elements of this game not possible on the former—attacks from half a dozen directions at once, boss enemies taking up a large portion of the screen. I made the logo at the top from scratch in Photoshop, although it’s designed to resemble the actual logo which was on the original promo flyers Konami distributed. This golden-orange-brown logo would never again be used, unfortunately; it was replaced with the more familiar (but harsh) blue and black arrangement.
Time for some Gradius III with Txai!
Newcomer to SNESology (but not to music), Txai Viegas has contributed a marvelous Gradius III entry. It’s exciting, incredibly varied, has that token Gradius bass, orch hits, and basically does all the wonderful things that you’d expect a Gradius song to do + more…
My guess is that if this were a level in the game, it’d be quite precarious and really tough, near the end… You know… THAT one level you have to do over and over and would rage at without an emulator. The end kinda progresses into what feels more like a credits song… Slow and rewarding of a job well done. I love some of the Konami references he’s included just for fun, see if you can pick them out! Great job dude!
