    King Fossil was reared on a balanced diet of WD-40, Lucozade and Vitriol. Feast upon the brilliance of King Fossil!

    I like Queen Fossil better. That's up there with my favourite shmup boss fights alongside Radiant Silverguns R-type tribute.

    Hmm, we're using all our podcast material here! :(

    I like all the bosses, but then I would I guess being a fan and all that. For me though King Fossil is the best because he is iconic. A Darius game without King Fossil would be like a Sonic game without Sonic etc... Just not right.

    Well, unless it's Luigi's Mansion which was good. But you know what I mean.

    King Fossil IS the Darius series poster child. :)

    Why is he called Fossil - was he dug up out of the ground or something?

    Whatever about Darius, I wish Square hadn't swallowed up Taito and Zuntata were still making videogame music.

    From Darius Wiki wrote:
    As all Fossils, King Fossil is a coelacanth. The coelacanths are living prehistoric animals that lived for milions of years in the seas. Now only exists two species of coelecanths, both of them belong to the family Latimeridae. The most representative species is the common coelecanth (Latimeria Chalumnae).

    You can enjoy lots of new Zuntata Darius Burst live concerts though! :D Have you seen the amazing new live DVD? The rendition of Goodbye My Earth is absolutely mindblowing. Especially via a juicy AV setup. Very haunting vocals performance. Exquisite. :)

    Ha. Will try and get it up this evening.

    I'm in the kind of job where if I take a holiday all my work just builds up and I have to do double the amount of things when I get back.

    I wasn't quoting anything... I actually saw some white dog poo for the first time since the 80s.

    Either the dogs are been fed economy dog food or the poo is going unpicked up for a long time... either way it means recession!
