My trip to Scotland is over, about two weeks roaming around the highlands and Edinburgh. It was great fun, weather was not too bad, and I was left wanting more! Hopefully I’ll upload some piccies soon.

Thanks to Coque for the link to this article that details the history of Topo Soft. Every time I read about Stardust I want to bang my head on the wall for the multidirectional control system that Jose Manuel Muñoz proposed us – it was quite original and we loved it, but in hindsight, it made the game quite frustrating to play. That man really had unique ideas… if only I could describe his initial design for Stardust, you’d wonder why did we turn it into a "standard" vertical shooter. Ahh the times…

Lots of stuff to catch up with, including Devil May Cry 3 on the PS2 which came out yesterday, preparing a lecture for the next month at the Universidad Complutense… and fixing my desktop PC, whose motherboard (I think) broke before the trip.

Edit: this song is too funny, being passed around privately but you may be able to find it: tripod-lovesong.mp3

Edit II: Devil May Cry 3 is great! Dante is back for good, after the crappy DMC2. My thumbs are sore already.
