For those of you wondering what this game that Davebrit and I blab about all the time is, here is a video of stoic on Light 7 difficulty. Yes, the game gets harder than this. Much harder.

I also have a video of me playing Burning Heat (remix of a song from Gradius II) but I haven't uploaded it to webspace. I can AIM it to you if you're patient and you PM me.
