Guess what came in the mail?

Something I’ve been wanting for a long time.

It actually arrived last week but I got my photo-camera back just yesterday to take some pics of it.

Today’s comic is in celebration of Gradius’s 25th anniversary! It was first released as arcade cabinet in japan on May 26, 1985 and later, in September and December in Europe and North America although it was called Nemesis in its western releases. Memories of this game go back to my early childhood when I watched my mother playing it on MSX because I couldn’t even defeat the first big core.

Duke Nukem Forever has been officially announced and it’s due to release in 2011. The game is already in advanced state, as it’s playable and not only “watchable” like in the past twelve years. I really look forward to it because I never had a chance to play the old Duke Nukem titles with all the violence youngsters shouldn’t see.

The latest Mass Effect 2 DLC, Lair of the Shadow Broker, is finally out and this time it’s working. In this DLC Shepard will team up with Liara to find and free Feron from the clutches of the Shadow Broker, following the events of the comic “Mass Effect Redemption”. Furthermore, you’ll finally be able to romance Liara once again, if that was bothering you. Me, I’m going to re-install the full game and DLCs, after freeing up some space on my HDD.
