Re: The BIL appreciation thread
What I found particulary helpful was the hint that planting many bombs on each chess piece during the Silent Bomber endgame lets you beat it quicker.

I'm always clicking for those MD and NES posts. No other bub can make a hard-shmupping man feel like a total loser when it comes to 2D action games.

BIL knows he's tops in my book. Glad to see him get a more general and much-deserved appreciation.

I've actually seen BIL's quality writing get mentioned on German gaming forums (by people who don't post here)!
BIL is definitely close to PC Engine Fan X! in terms of shmups forum legendary status.

You have my vote, soldier. Thanks for teaching people what makes 2D gaming so unquestionably sublime.

agreed...lately I've found myself searching through BIL's post to find game recommendations.
Re: The BIL appreciation thread
This guy has made me laugh, and I mean genuinely, and that's worth a lot. Marginal dogging eruption, eluding to the dog handcuff glitch in The Super Shinobi, I mean what the fuck.
Not to mention his knowledge of videogaming is formidable and the delivery of his gaming escapades are informative and often highly amusing to boot.
I'd love to hit up some coop beltscroll with Mr BIL

Re: The BIL appreciation thread
Yeah he's got my vote too. BIL is definatly a diamond among the rough on Internet gaming forums. His appreciation and enthusiasm of the 2D platformer is unmatched and I've learnt a good deal from reading his posts. Oh, and he has an awesome taste in Videgame music too!

Re: The BIL appreciation thread
BIL is one of my favorite posters of all time.
Re: The BIL appreciation thread
my gaming backlog is largely defined by BIL's posts
it must be exhausting to be so thoughtful all the time when posting--his pithy insights into these old games, their mechanics and aesthetic details, is really what all retro reviews/appreciation should aspire to imo
