Same as always...

Nomltest - Still finding new little tricks here, still trying to have a perfect-ish run. Wonder if 3 mil is possible.
Parsec47 - Not getting any better, but it's still fun.
Radio Zonde - Full chained U_T_N with 1 death, should try to do no miss. Could spend forever messing around in Touring mode.

triple post? :?

Well, I've finally 1cced V-Five. :D It was a good purchase after all.
Now I'm playing a bit of Twin Hawk on the emulator and looking where to buy the MD cart

Thanks for posting!

And, my thought when I started this thread was to have people post what they're playing right at that moment. Hence the triple post.

These days I'm juggling with Donpachi (Sat), Judgement Silversword and newly acquired Raiden III.

Working on beating iatneH's score on JSS, 1cc'ing the first loop on Donpachi and just having fun with Raiden III.

Still playing Sky Shark. Trying to get through the first loop. I did it once about a month ago, but have yet to duplicate that run.

I also always keep Gradius Galaxies on my person. God I love that game. I can get to stage 6 without dying, and then i can't get past the bio part where the wall reforms after you shoot it and it fills the screen.

Flying/Sky Shark kicks my ass way too much.

Fire Shark, argh too much of a lengthy hiatus has killed my progression.

Sexy Parodius, managed to ace a few missions, though mission 2 is still slaying me (get so close to the 300 coin requirement).

Swapping between DOJ, ESPgaluda and Mushi on ps2. All have their charms. For a while I really didn't like ESPgaluda, but now it's grown on me and i'm starting to get to level 4 more. Still can't get past the level 3 end boss on mushi or DOJ though, but i've only been playing for a few days so i'm not hating myself just yet...

I've gotten back on Shikigami no Shiro III, and have been playing some Raiden III, X-Multiply, & Nebulas Ray. Nebulas Ray's soundtrack kicks.
Kinect? KIN NOT.

Raiden III. I actually like it quite a bit. I've finally adjusted to the slow ass ship. I've yet to beat stage 5, but I haven't been spending too much time with it. I think I might, for the very first time in my shmupping career, sit down and utilize the practice mode to perfect my strategy on some of the earlier levels. I usually just play from the beginning every time and see how far I can get. I'm not real big on playing for score, trying to get a perfect run, etc. I just play.

Trizeal on the DC. Really getting into this now and honing my shot type tactics for bigger scores. I particularly like the fact that there's no throwing, chaining or grazing going on.

Really hope Triangle will release the sequel on the DC too.

Lately I've been enjoying Ikaruga, ESPGaluda, and Progear.
