After years of waiting the DLC for Cuphead is finally here, with more rock hard enemy bosses and 1930s style cartoon surrealism. Now that Elden Ring has proven such a massive hit, it’s going to be interesting to see whether other publishers and developers consider the debate over unusually difficult games to be over. Predecessor Dark Souls started the argument and encouraged many games, both those similar in style and otherwise unrelated, to dare to be difficult. It was into this climate that Cuphead was released in 2017 and became another unexpected success, and now it’s finally got its long promised DLC. Apart from being really, really hard, Cuphead has no other similarities to Dark Souls, since it’s a 2D platform shooter inspired by old school arcade games like Contra and Metal Slug. That’s unusual enough in this day and age but it’s presented in the style of a 1930s cartoon, complete with ‘rubber hose’ style animation and creepy looking character designs.

Nadine Dorries says favourite rugby league moment is Jonny Wilkinson’s union drop goal
Gaffe-prone culture secretary Nadine Dorries says her favourite Rugby League moment is Jonny Wilkinson's 2003 drop goal against Australia - in the Rugby Union World Cup final. Followers of politics will be aware Dorries is no stranger to putting her foot in it, having previously gotten her words in a twist about the proposed privatisation of Channel 4, among many other things. And on Thursday afternoon the Tory bright spark turned her particular brand of spew to the world of rugby at an event promoting the Rugby League World Cup, which takes place in England later this year. As she attempted to show her affection and knowledge for the game, which has its heartlands in the north of the country, the Mid Bedfordshire MP dropped a huge clanger.

‘You can smell where the money is’: Graeme Hart and his innate sense of commerce
Graeme Hart says he was a “terrible” student who was encouraged to leave school as soon as he turned 15, but once he found what he loved – business and commerce – there was no stopping him. Now 67 and New Zealand’s richest man, Hart says he looks back on his early experiences and on reflection finds them “entirely predictable”. A very independent person, he didn’t enjoy school, but outside of the classroom he had a “wicked” work ethic, and was always working after school and in the school holidays. He funnelled his energy into buying and fixing up cars, pulling apart engines in the family lounge and filling the garage with tools and cars. So after the career guidance counsellor at Mt Roskill Grammar took him aside and suggested he might like to leave school the following day on his 15th birthday, it was a natural transition to get an apprenticeship as a panel beater.
