During my young gaming years, Contra on the NES was one of those games that had me and other gamers screaming at their televisions. The franchise is back, and WayForward and Konami put a fresh spin on the game, giving folks like myself a different take on the beloved classic and the opportunity to finally conquer this digital demon.
Forget Contra: Rogue Corps; that game didn’t happen. WayForward got that bad taste out of our mouths with a remix of the original NES classic Contra, with Operation Galuga, a proper love letter to the 1988 game that many still have not beat unless you used the cheat code.
Contra Operation Galuga doesn’t just reinvent the wheel. It brings back all of the nostalgia and feel of the original brutally hard run-and-gun shooter, but this time, it makes it more tolerable. Don’t worry, purists; the challenge is still there.
The main game, which you can beat in hours, features eight chapters and tries to deliver a remix of the 88 game’s original story. But when did people ever play this game for its narrative? The answer is never.
Like the original, you take on the roles of elite Contra commandos Bill Rizer and Lance Bean. They now get some help from other playable warriors to take on the Red Falcon army, which is after a mysterious otherworldly power on the island of Galuga to push their agenda of world domination.
Like a great B-action movie, the game’s plot won’t blow you away. The voice acting is fine, and the cut scenes are gorgeous, but in the end, this ride is all about the action—or, in this sense, the gameplay.
Operation Galuga Adds New Features & Stays Faithful To The Orignal Contra
Source: Konami / WayForward / Contra: Operation Galuga
Contra: Operation Galuga isn’t just the 1988 game with a fresh coat of paint on it. Yes, WayForward did a fantastic job with Operation Galuga, reimagining the original game while paying homage to those games before it.
As soon as the first level begins, you are taken back to those NES days because the jungle location is very familiar. Other areas, like the waterfall and inside the giant alien (if you made it that far), will tug on your nostalgia pearls.
The enemies, who are not the most innovative AI-controlled bots in the world, still pose a challenge even though they carry out simple commands and come at you from all angles, forcing you to take out challenges quickly.
Those “floating footballs” filled with your favorite weapon power-ups like the spread shot, flamethrower, homing rockets, laser, grenade launcher, or machine gun return. You will find yourself landing on a favorite; for me, it was the homing rockets and spread gun.
What’s new with the weapons is that if you collect two of the same type, they become even more powerful. An added boost is the addition of an overcharge feature that introduces a secondary effect like a shield, floating turrets, or slowing down time.
Contra was also known for its epic boss battles, and that continues to be the case here with challenging bosses and sub-bosses that you might find familiar from the previous games.
New Features Make It More Accessible, But It’s Still Challenging

In Operation Galuga, I was thrilled to learn that WayForward also included a life meter, giving your player three hits instead of the classic one-shot death from the original game.
For the purists, the one-shot death is still available if you want to keep the challenging feeling of the 1988 game.

Also introduced into the game is a new perk system, giving the game a roguelike feel and allowing you to begin levels with certain advantages like an extra life bar or starting with a weapon power-up. You can purchase perks after completing each mission using the currency you acquire during missions.
Other welcome features include not having to start from the first level after you run out of lives, starting from mid-points if you get deep into a level, and a 4-player coop that adds a new dimension to Contra.
Plus, being able to play with different characters also adds a unique experience to each playthrough because no character is the same.
Final Thoughts
Source: Konami / WayForward / Contra: Operation Galuga
Contra: Operation Galuga isn’t a perfect game, but it checks all the boxes for a solid remake. It’s the definitive experience for gamers who have never experienced the original game, Operation C, or Super Contra on the Super Nintendo.
For those who played those games listed above and even the awful spinoffs, this is a refreshing reboot of Contra that introduces many new features, a rebooted story, and tons of new characters added to the Contra lore.
The replay value isn’t extremely high, but different modes will keep you entertained during road trips or flights while playing on your Nintendo Switch, Steam Deck, or PlayStation Portable.
Contra: Operation Galuga took me back to my childhood and allowed me to put the finishing touch on a game my five-year-old self thought I would never finish.
Operation Galuga is available now on Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox, and Steam.

After months of speculation, the PS5 Pro is real and will reportedly arrive this holiday season.
Insider Gaming’s Tom Henderson has confirmed the leaked PS5 Pro specs that hit the web this week are indeed real. They confidently confined the news after speaking with a source under anonymity.
Per Insider Gaming:
Speaking with sources, who wished to remain anonymous because they were not authorized to talk about company plans, we can confirm that the leaked documentation from the YouTube channel Moore’s Law is Dead is real, despite the criticism of the leaker and the leaked specs. Insider Gaming can confirm that the documentation leaked is from a PlayStation developer portal, which was sent out this week to a wider band of third-party developers.
July 2023, word on the video game streets that a PS5 Pro-model code-named “Project Trinity” was in the works and game studios would begin getting their devkits in November of that same year.
The confirmed specs for the PS5 Pro are:
Rendering 45% faster than PS5
2-3x Ray-tracing (x4 in some cases)
33.5 Teraflops
PSSR (PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution Upscaling) upscaling/antialiasing solution
Support for resolutions up to 8K is planned for future SDK version
Custom machine learning architecture
AI Accelerator, supporting 300 TOPS of 8 bit computation / 67 TFLOPS of 16-bit floating point
Devikits and Testkits Are Rolling Out
Those are quite impressive, which means the PS5 Pro is pretty close to performing on par with powerful gaming PCs. It also sounds like it could be called the PS5 6.
Insider Gaming also reports that devkits have been available to first-party developers since September 2023, third-party had theirs since January 2024, and testkits close to the final product will be available in Spring 2024.
The PS5 Pro is tentatively on track to release in the holiday of 2024 and will arrive before the release of Grand Theft Auto 6, which could benefit immensely from more powerful hardware.
The video game streets are talking, following the news. You can see those reactions in the gallery below.

Bobbi Althoff’s 2-minutes t of fame have seemingly run out, and everyone loves it.
Bobbi Althhoff, the “podcaster” who has been labeled a “culture vulture” and “industry plant” by many, rose to fame due to her Drake interview, found herself on the outside looking in at an SXSW afterparty for Drake’s Magic City docuseries, Magic City: An American Fantasy.
While it has not been confirmed, Althoff’s removal from the afterparty could stem from an alleged “beef ” between the “Hotline Bling” rapper and the podcaster.
Per The Blast:
Althoff seemed to believe all was well with her and the “God’s Plan” rapper when she showed up at his SXSW afterparty on Monday night.
The drama went down at Mayfair nightclub in Austin, Texas, at the afterparty event following the South by Southwest premiere of the new docuseries “Magic City: An American Fantasy.” Drake’s DreamCrew Entertainment co-produced the project.
Although the rapper wasn’t around in person for the celebration, his team wasn’t pleased when Althoff allegedly showed up uninvited. The internet personality was also in Austin for the iHeartRadio Podcast Awards at SXSW. An insider who witnessed the drama told Daily Mail.
Are Drake & Bobbi Althoff Beefing?
The reasoning behind Drake’s beef with Althoff is quite hilarious. Allegedly, Champagne Papi was mad that Althoff showed up to one of his shows and posted a video of herself being bored during his concert performance.
“I’m really in my element here at this guys’ concert,” she wrote in the caption of the now-deleted post, originally shared on her Instagram and TikTok accounts.
The feud between the two came after her viral and intentionally awkward interview with Drake for her Really Good Podcast series.
The interview amassed over 20 million views but has since been removed from the internet, leading many to believe something went down between the two.
Did She Allegedly Cheat On Her Husband With Drake?
Following the Drake fallout, Cory Althoff, her husband, filed a motion for divorce, ending their three-year marriage, asking for joint custody of the couple’s two daughters.
They settled three weeks after the initial filing.
Some believe the July 4 filing of the divorce is no coincidence, and Althoff might have had an affair with the Canadian Hip-Hop star.
A source close to the matter denied that was the reasoning.
Anyway, social media is clowing Bobbi Althoff. You can see those reactions below.
1. Hmmmm sounds spicy.
3. Sometimes the jokes write themseleves.
5. Both can be true

Unsurprisingly, there is a documentary about Black Twitter, but actual Black Twitter, or Black X, should we call it that? Nah, we’re going to stick with the original name, is on the skeptical side about who is involved.
The docuseries from former Insecure showrunner Prentice Penny coming to Hulu is not even out yet. Still, a trailer for it is being met with an enormous amount of skepticism due to the people who will be involved and speaking about the influential and popular subsection of Twitter, now unfortunately known as X, thanks to Elon Musk.
According to a press release. The series will take its cues from Jason Parham’s 2021 Wired cover story, “A People’s History of Black Twitter,” and “charts the rise, movements, voices, and memes that made Black Twitter an influential and dominant force in nearly every aspect of American political and cultural life.”
To help break down Twitter subsection’s rise to popularity and eventually carry the social media platform on its back will be Roxane Gay, Jemele Hill, Sam Jay, Amanda Seales, Kid Fury, April Reign, Raquel Willis, Apple Music’s LowKey, Chris Foxx aka @FoxxFiles, and more.
The Reactions To The Black Twitter Docuseries Are Already Pouring In
Therein lies the issue: many feel many people are being left out in this docuseries and are giving it the mean side-eye.
One X user wrote, “The real meat and potatoes of Black Twitter is everyday people. Not B-list Black celebrities and pseudo intellectual Talking Heads.”
Fair.
[embedded content]
Another user on X pointed out just how crazy this debate is, writing in the post, “Black Twitter arguing over whether that Black Twitter documentary is gonna include all the right people and topics, is the most Black Twitter thing ever.”
Prentice Penny also got involved in the debate, adding: “I’d like to think after 20 years of holding the culture down, y’all would trust I got #blacktwitterhulu best interest in mind. But lowkey, I also love black Twitter mad hesitant and petty ’bout it, too! LOL!”
When this documentary arrives on Hulu on Thursday, May 9, it seems likely that there will be a lot of hate-watching and live tweeting.
You can see more reactions in the gallery below.
1. Damn, that’s how y’all feel?
2. The video, lol

Content creators might want to start working on their Instagram Reels skills after the GOP-controlled House of Representatives passed a bill that could end TikTok’s run in the United States.
In a rare act of bipartisanship, the House agreed on a measure calling for TikTok’s owner, the Chinese-owned company ByteDance, to divest the TikTok app or risk a US ban.
The bill passed with an eye-opening 352-65 vote and one member voting present, but it still faces uncertainty when it reaches the Senate.
Per CNBC:
The legislation, dubbed the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act, was introduced March 5 by Reps. Mike Gallagher, R-Wis., and Raja Krishnamoorthi, D-Ill., of the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party. Two days later, House members on the Energy and CommerceCommittee voted unanimously to approve the bill, which refers to TikTok as a threat to national security because it is controlled by a foreign adversary.
The bill now heads to the Senate where it faces an uncertain future as senators appear divided about the legislation, and other federal and state-led efforts to ban TikTok have stalled.
TikTok Repsonds To The Bill Passing The Senate
As expected, the folks at TikTok were not happy about the developments.
“This process was secret, and the bill was jammed through for one reason: it’s a ban,” a spokesperson for TikTok said after the vote was passed. “We are hopeful that the Senate will consider the facts, listen to their constituents, and realize the impact on the economy, 7 million small businesses, and the 170 million Americans who use our service.”
President Joe Biden has already expressed that he will sign the bill if it reaches his desk. Ironically, President Biden has an official TikTok account that his administration created in February as part of his re-election campaign.
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said the administration would provide “technical support” in crafting the bill and noted in a March 6 briefing, “It’s on legal standing, and it’s in a place where it can get out of Congress, then the President would sign it.”
The House claims the bill “does not ban TikTok” and demands ByteDance to divest from TikTok within 6 months” “to remain available in the United States.”
If the bill passes its final hurdle and gets Biden’s signature, Apple, Google, and other internet-hosting companies can no longer support TikTok or any other ByteDance apps.
Donald Trump Thinks He’s Slick
While most lawmakers agree that TikTok threatens the country’s national security, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump feels otherwise.
In an interview with CNBC, he claims that getting rid of TikTok would only make Facebook and Instagram’s owner Meta more powerful.
“Without TikTok, you can make Facebook bigger, and I consider Facebook to be an enemy of the people,” Trump claims.
His comments are hypocritical because, in 2020, he signed an executive order banning TikTok and WeChat “transactions” and eventually giving his approval of a $10 billion and $30 billion acquisition involving Microsoft that eventually fell through.
The Biden Administration would revoke his executive orders.
Content Creators Are BIG MAD
Content Creators are BIG MAD about the ruling and were present at Capitol Hill to let lawmakers know that this ban will affect their livelihoods.
Social media is also reacting to the news, and can’t believe the only thing lawmakers can agree on is that allowing a company possibly owned by the Chinese communist party company access to your data is bad, while other pressing issues like the minimum wage, “border crisis,” inflation, which is cooling, but still high in some areas due to various reasons, health care remains unsolved.
Remember that the GOP controls the House of Representatives and decides what bills come to the floor.
Just saying.
Anyway, TikTok has even reached out to its followers in anticipation of the bill passing the House.
We shall see if the Senate agrees with the House on the matter; there is no guarantee that this will happen.
You can see more reactions to TikTok’s possible banning below.
2. Howling
3. Fair question. But lets direct this question to the Republicans in the House who think thoughts and prayers are effective gun control measures.
4. They can always bring the content to Instagram Reels
5. Damn, we are doomed.
6. The TikTok debate has been going on since 2020. So we can’t say this accurate.
7. We’re not opposed to Trump being banned.
8. He is singing a different tune, so maybe they already did.

Ice Spice‘s popularity these days remains to be sky high and she knows exactly how to keep her momentum going in 2024 and don’t think for a second it has anything to do with her bars.
Using social media to keep her name buzzing and her fans salivating, Ice Spice shared some pretty sexy selfies on Snapchat (people still use that?!) and naturally had social media talking and thirsting at the same time. Ditching her customary fro for a more relaxed wig piece, Ice shared some pics of herself in some skimpy outfits from her collaboration with Alexander Wang and needless to say this was a helluva way to promote the new partnership.
Of course the pics garners tons of comments from fans expressing their love and admiration for the artist as she showcased all that her mama gave her.
Sidenote: Her mama’s a baddy too. Just sayin.’
In an interview with Variety earlier this month, Alexander Wang expressed his excitement about working with the Bronx bombshell saying “Ice Spice is such a powerhouse, a cultural touchstone, and a breath of fresh air. Her unapologetic energy magnifies the sharp and austere sensuality of Spring 2024 and leans into our brand codes on a deeper level.”

They say God don’t like ugly, and it looks like Bishop Lamor Whitehead will have to pay for his sins.
Bishop Lamor Whitehead, aka the “Bling Bishop,” is looking at some serious jail time after he was found guilty of wire fraud, attempted extortion, and lying to the FBI in Manhattan Federal Court.
Per Gothamist:
After just a few hours of deliberation, the jury convicted “Bling Bishop” Lamor Whitehead, 46, of five counts, agreeing that he had used his position of power and influence to swindle hundreds of thousands of dollars from people who trusted him.
Whitehead could face up to 45 years in prison.
A Breakdown of Bishop Lamor Whitehead’s Scammy Ways
Prosecutors convinced a jury that Whitehead deceived one of the members of his flock’s mother to give him $90,000 out of her retirement savings, promising to buy her a house and remodel it so she could move in, the website reports.
According to court documents, the Canal Street shopping pastor never bought the house and used the money to fund his lavish lifestyle.
Prosecutors also made the case that Whitehead swindled a Bronx businessman into giving him $5,000 and then an additional $500,000, claiming he could get him favors from Mayor Mixxy, aka Mayor Eric Adams.
The current New York Mayor does not deny dealing with Whitehead, but there is no proof that he had anything to do with any of the Bling Bishop’s scams.
Besides, Adam has his own issues to worry about, with several of his aides having their homes raided by the Feds.
Court documents also say Whitehead lied to lenders about his net worth to secure a personal loan and lied to the FBI, claiming he had only one phone when, according to prosecutors, he had two.
Following the verdict, Whitehead’s attorney, Dawn Florio, had nothing to say when pressed for comment.
Of course, Whitehead did, taking to Instagram to drop a video from his luxury vehicle, writing in the caption for the post, “This Wasn’t About Me…. I was not going to be an informant for the FBI against NYC Mayor Eric Adams.
We Will Be Appealing This Verdit”
We will continue to monitor this situation.

1. Sheesh.

2K continues to build its sports video game library. The video game publishing company is looking for an ace with TopSpin 2K25.
It’s been several years, 13 years to be exact, since Hangar 13 released 2011’s TopSpin 4 on the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Nintendo Wii consoles.
Flash forward to 2024, and 2K is resurrecting the franchise and adding its signature flare to the famed tennis video game franchise with TopSpin 2K25.
I had the opportunity to get hands-on with TopSpin 2K25 while visiting Palm Springs, which also happens to be the home of the BNP Paribas Open at Indian Wells.
I didn’t know what to expect, especially since I had never played a TopSpin game. My only video game tennis experience came from SEGA’s Virtua Tennis on the Dreamcast in 2000.
Yeah, I know, don’t judge me.
After my 2 hour experience, I walked away with plenty of thoughts.
The 2K Presentation Is Very Present
Source: Hangar 13 / 2K / TopSpin 2K25
Hangar 13 linking up 2K is very evident the moment you look at this game. It screams 2K’s touch thanks to the on-point presentation, beautiful arenas, and, of course, gorgeous and damn near life-like player models.
We saw several arenas during our demo, including Indian Wells and Arthur Ashe Stadium. As expected with any 2K Sports game, the attention to detail is on point.
Hangar 13 fully utilizes next-generation consoles and PCs to bring the arenas, crowds, and players to life while delivering authentic tennis action in video game form.
You will notice everything from how the players move on the different court surfaces to their grunts when hitting the ball, the crowd reactions, and even their signature celebrations.
TopSpin 2K25 isn’t as visually impressive as the NBA 2K series, but in its simplicity, there is still something to marvel at, and it still has that signature touch we expect from a 2K Sports game.
TopSpin 2K25 Is Fun & Challenging
Source: Hangar 13 / 2K / TopSpin 2K25
During the preview, of course, before I hopped on the court with any of the pros, I went to school to learn the ABCs of the game with the legend John McEnroe serving as my instructor.
Once I was done with training, I started with a singles match; of course, I picked Serena Williams and faced off against Steffi Graf.
From the onset of the match, I was getting my ass handed to me, quickly going down two sets. This was on the normal difficulty. But once I got into a flow, I did mount an incredible comeback, something Serena would do in real life, and it was pretty rewarding to walk away with the victory after it looked like the computer had my number.
For my next match, I decided to bump the difficulty up to the hard setting, this time running with Coco Gauff and facing Serena Williams, and it wasn’t close.
On hard, you almost have to be a picture of perfection, making sure every return hits the green on the NBA 2K-like shot meter that tells you if your swing is either bad, good, or perfect.
It’s not disheartening on the harder difficulties. Instead, it makes you want to step your game up.
I also played a doubles match, and those matches are very challenging and much harder to win, being that you’re playing with a controlled teammate. It was fun to see the small volley back and forth that took place at the net while also being sure to stay vigilant because the ball can come your way.
I didn’t win the two doubles matches I tried, and I would have gone for a third, but my time ran out. I definitely wanted to run it back to get a W because it was so much fun.
The Controls Are Buttery Smooth
Source: Hangar 13 / 2K / TopSpin 2K25
As far as controls, TopSpin 2K25 looks as good as it feels. I’ll even go as far as to say the game feels more responsive than the latest NBA 2K video game.
You never feel like you don’t fully control your player. Navigating the court, running toward the ball, and returning shots all feel buttery smooth.
The real question is, how does that feel when you play the game online? NBA 2K can be a miserable experience when lag is introduced. I imagine the same can be said if you’re playing in a TopSpin match and your opponent’s connection is causing some severe lag, leading to annoying input delays.
But we’ll have to wait until the game drops to get that question answered.
Game, Set, Match?
Source: Hangar 13 / 2K / Top Spin 2K25
Based on the small sample size I experienced, TopSpin 2K25 looks like it’s back and better than ever. It seems to be checking all the boxes for what a next-gen tennis video game should look and feel like.
During our preview, we saw a signature MyPLAYER feature and a mode allowing you to take your amateur to tennis greatness and become a Grand Slam champion in the MyCAREER mode.
For those who would rather play the game with established tennis greats, TopSpin 2K25 boasts an impressive roster featuring tennis legends like Serena Williams, Roger Federer, Steffi Graf, and Andre Agassi.
You can also play as current stars like Francis Tiafoe, Coco Gauff, Carlos Alcaraz, Iga Świątek, and others. Hangar 13 boasts a roster of 24 superstars available.
TopSpin 2K25 features four editions of the game: Standard Edition, Standard Cross-Gen Edition, Deluxe Edition, and Grand Slam Edition.

The Standard Edition and Standard Cross-Gen Edition launch Friday, April 26, 2024; Deluxe and Grand Slam Edition owners get three days of early access.

Rick Ross isn’t shy about showing off his physique, but following his latest video social media is roasting the Hip-Hop star.
The biggest bawse always finds a way to promote anything he does. To get the word out for his annual car and bike show, the “Rich off Cocaine” rapper felt the need to show off some dance moves with an eyebrow-raising performance.
In a video shared on Instagram, Rick Ross can be seen rocking a full-length fur coat, a beret, no shirt, shorts, and a pair of Nike Air Yeezy sneakers while dancing to Beenie Man’s iconic record “Who Am I (Sim Simma),” while hitting an interesting two-step.
The hilarious video drew comments from other rappers and celebrities. 2 Chainz supported Rozay, writing in the comment section, “Hahaha, my dawg shot out.”
Max Kreamo had to mention the MMG’s general’s footwear, writing, “I see yu big dog I jus took them Yeezys off,” while Busta Rhymes and LeBron James hit Ross with a bunch of laughing emojis.
Social Media Thinks Ross Isn’t Doing Enough In The Gym
But that’s where the compliments stop, and things get a bit mean, with commenters clowning Ross’ body.
Ross has been an open book about working out, showing his fans he is, in fact, in the gym. In fact, he’s talking about climbing Africa’s biggest mountain, Kilimanjaro, but if you ask some folks, they do not see any results from his workouts.
One commenter wrote, “This n-gga been on diet for 6 years and maintained the same shape.” Another added, “Built like an orange on toothpicks.”
Damn.
We can’t front, but it does look like Ross is skipping leg day a bit too much. Remember when his legs failed him when he tried to dive into his massive pool?
Others think the video indicates that he and his baby mama, Tia, belong together.
Still, keep dancing Ross.
You can see more reactions to his video in the gallery below.
