Shmup Junkie

Post by Stevens »

Anyone else familiar with this channel?

Have to be honest - it is pretty awesome. His demeanor is both positive and infectious. He is fun to watch and his videos are in that sweet spot as far as length goes.

Check it out:

In particular I dig his shooter 101 videos. Great if you're just starting out, or still suck after years like me.

Been enjoying his content. Good to see more shooty-bang content creators popping up. Shmup Junkie, Chef Fitarus, Shmups 'n Stuff on Switch, etc.

Yeah, he's very responsive in his comments and is super nice too. I could do without the toilet humour though.

I'm not a fan of that, either, but it's part of his schtick. The tinfoil hat character is also kind of annoying, but I think that's on purpose.

Yeah, not sure what is happening over at Top Hat Gaming.

Butt Paste is a real thing. I've used it on my kids.

Junkie is a fun watch. Cool to hear from someone that had a TG16 back in the day and was into shooters then. So many YouTubers that focus on 16 bit games stick with platformers and wouldn't know one's ass from a hole in the ground when it comes to shooters. Other STG content seems focused more on Cave-like and other bullethells (which I love) so he fills a nice niche.
