Shmup Junkie

Is this guy a member of this board? He makes 3 hour plus videos reviewing every shmup for a system.
It's bonkers, so I thought he might be a member here.

His videos really are great, i'm a big fan. wish he would upload more frequently, but he probably has a day job to worry about, lol.

Keep up the great work dude!

I did summary threads of his PC Engine & Mega Drive videos, he ended up responding to the Mega Drive thread:

Shmup Junkie Ranks Every Mega Drive STG

Shmup Junkie Ranks Every PC Engine STG

One of these days I'll get around to doing the same for his more recent Konami video.

I knew he had to be a member.
His vids are pretty good. I mean, I've never seen such exhaustive work on Youtube, on this particular genre.
I just watched his Untold History of Technosoft, and it was very interesting.

SJ does fine work. It took me a minute to differentiate his genuine enthusiasm from the What's Up Guys It's Your Boy Like And Subscribe fare that's so prevalent on YouTube, but he's the real deal.

Heck, marathoning his channel a few times is what pushed me to get back into the genre and ultimately sign up here. While not as technical as other YT shmuppers, his How To Get Good videos helped solidify years of intuitive knowledge into tangible strategies and mindset.

Though his docureview stuff is the real big-ticket - very well produced. Really looking forward to that Toaplan documentary he's involved with.

Junkie's video's are really high effort and I love the positivity.

I've discovered lots of games thanks to him.

I love his content, and he's a great reviewer for sure. But I'm not going back to his Discord again.

Do tell.

Because everyone hates me there! I’m always laughed at, made fun of, or I just piss everyone off for no reason!

Forget them man! Remember what Marilyn Monroe said: If they can't handle you at your worst they don't deserve you at your best.

And that's why I have no intention of going back. I'm not going back to the Shmups Discord server either.

Discord is a shithole. (Fun watching: https://youtu.be/uvNkdAggUGU )

Shmupjunkie is a dork but I do enjoy all his videos.
Especially his videos about ‘unknown’ titles.
I consider myself pretty knowledgeable about games but he’s recommended some bangers that I’ve never heard of.

Discord and Twitter are both shitholes. YouTube to an extent, if you're going down the SJW, anti-SJW, or politics rabbit hole, that is.

Well put and how I feel about him!
