Wouldn't it take a ridiculous amount of time to download a full-length HD movie?

I've kinda got the feeling that something is going to come out after midnight. Major isn't putting up his podcast until after midnight eastern due to some "surprises that need to wait until that time"

eh? You have never played contra?

1 or 2 player(co-op)

from wikipedia:

"Contra (魂斗羅, kontora^?) is an arcade game released in 1987 by the Konami corporation. The player controls a commando who battles waves of enemies including humans, machines, mutants and aliens to reach his ultimate goal. Much of the game's popularity came from its two-player simultaneous gameplay, which was an uncommon feature in video games at the time of Contra's release. While successful in the arcades, the game became and remained widely popular and remembered when it was ported to the Famicom and the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1988. The game has come to be known as the definitive run and gun type of shoot 'em up, and has established deep connections with geek culture."

I have not seen any achievements for Contra, but it would be genius to have an achievement for entering THE code IMO.
