New Bi-Weekly Shmup Column

Nullsleep · Post by **Nullsleep** » Thu Mar 16, 2006 4:02 pm

So a couple weeks back I started writing a column over at GameSetWatch focusing on shooters. You can see what I've covered so far here: Shmup Me Up, Buttercup (feedback/comments welcome).

As you can see, I've mainly just been keeping up with current/semi-current releases up to this point. But I'd like to expand it's scope from there.

So, what would you guys like to see featured in subsequent posts?

Excellent! Especially the link to my Raiden DX ST

I don't think there's more to add, as you're synthetic and precise at the same time, and everything else is flawless as well. 10 out of 10

Wow. Gets to the point quickly. Very fast read for people with busy lifestyles. Thanks Nullsleep.

While I think the word buttercup in the title is... um, hokey. I like it.

I might as well pimp my Parallax Memories column on the same website.

Hey guys, thanks for the kind words! Now anyone with suggestions on special features they'd like to see down the line?

And Shapermc, I didn't realize that you were doing Parallax Memories, right on. I've really enjoyed it so far.

For the record I didn't come up with "Shmup Me Up, Buttercup" myself, but I personally think it's an excellent title. It helps soften the super "hardcore" image that shmups can carry with them!

Yea, its not bad, just a little silly. Anything silly will soften an image. Dosen't make any difference, the writing is still solid, which is the important thing.

Thanks for the comment on my column. I find the hardest thing is the word restrictions, so I always get nervous about the articles being so short and not explanitory enough.
