But shmupmame just started bombing out on me with it's "unable to start correctly (0xc0000005)" error. Grah! Time to fix and compete in games I've never played!

I'm calling out Masa as my rival for the rest of the tournament. She thinks I'll win every week. I'm sure she's wrong.

I'll do a credit or two but the UFO Lunatic clear comes first.

e: What is the fucking point of the green weapon? Is this some cruel joke?

I like the guys at the beginning saluting to the brave young man who is about to have his socks blown off
(speaking of which, when does the opening cutscene of the city being taken over by the guys with no standardized equipment play? Do you have to watch the attract mode 3 times or something?)

Beyond that...well, the cruel joke isn't the green laser, it's the scoring system. Nothing like watching that counter pass 70K for the first stage and knowing you won't get the 100K because you missed one medal at the bottom of the screen :evil: It's not as bad in this respect as VP1 because this goal doesn't conflict with another scoring goal, but I still find it fussy. And despite the kind-of autofire, this one wears my hand out just as quickly as others. Don't like the wiggle mechanic, don't like the flames throwing me off about my ship's hitbox location; really, just always have been annoyed at this game, despite its obvious goodness. I'll keep at it this time, though, and maybe I'll finally hold it together long enough to see Stage 3 :lol:

Hmm... only problem with this game is that there's too little suicide in this one.
Next game better have lots and lots of it. I wanna kill myself! :D

Thanks for the very precise answer! :)

I learned something that I wouldn't have if I just waited a few seconds more after the second demo, lol.

If anyone else doesn't plan on playing, please let me know. I need to drop one more person out for everyone to have a RIVAL. In the event that this doesn't happen, one random person from X-tier will not have a RIVAL (I have positioned everyone from X-tier who has so far submitted a score into their new tiers, so no one who has played this week will lack a RIVAL).

Well, to be honest I've really enjoyed the little buzz created by the tournament and such - but as you may have seen in other threads I've posted, it's come about that I'm going to be moving house in the next couple of weeks due to a stroke of luck - so I could (and probably should) volunteer myself to drop out. I'm probably going to have a week or two without an internet connection anyway.

I'll probably still play the games you announce when I can and participate in spirit though.. albeit unranked.... and therefore unshamed...:)
