After being destroyed in Ibara I tried something I'm better in. I made another run in Mushihimesama and again was at the TLB in arrange mode and couldn't defeat him. :F The TLB sucks balls in hell.

Playing Zanac x Zanac. Very good fun. Music is ace.

Just waiting for Espgaluda to arrive from PlayAsia and then I'll be playing that!

I have been playing Border Down for the last few days inbetween playing Mario Galaxy and Illusion of Gaia.

I just learned that there were "sample plays" in the options menu and took the risk of watching them(I am against viewing super plays). -- I found the plays quite useful actually and I actually do better than the sample play for the stage 1 green border. I then viewed the play for stage 2 (green) and learned some new ideas for the boss and am looking forward to implement them this afternoon when I leave work!

Daioh a vertical shooter by Athena.

Cool vertical shooter that requires 6 buttons. There's one button assigned to 3 types of shots + 3 types of bombs, but each one varies in strength and range. Gameplay is solid and but really it adds nothing new, just think of Shienryu. It's really a short game with 7 stages, the last being a total boss battle out of Nexzr.

I haven't had much time to play anything lately, but I've been playing Radiant Silvergun when I do.

I played some Viewpoint earlier. The third boss whipped me as per usual. I've beat it once and only once.

I played one half-hearted credit of Shienryu. Meh.*shrugs*

So then I popped in Galactic Attack. Still the best $3.49 I've ever spent.

Been playing Blue Wish Resurrection lately (made by x.x).

Very good game.

I haaaaaaaate the 4th boss. Just..... argh!

And still doing double-play on DoDonPachi. Curse that third boss for being more of a pain in the ass when fought that way.

ESPGaluda.

My 6 months-ish break from this game has yielded some improvement in my still-dismal performance.

Also, Robotron 2084.
