This has turned into a pretty good thread

Chalk one up for the mentally deranged.

I reckon this puts TWE at +1

But the mentally deranged post is awesome. I'd try and find the link, but I can't be arsed.

An insult from icycalm is like the morning breeze: light, empty, and ordinary, with no particular aim or purpose - you don't know where it came from, and you don't really care.

Post by **Icarus** » Sat Dec 01, 2007 2:12 am

Keep waving your e-peens around guys. Haven't laughed this hard for a while.

Think I'll go and write another short, gameplay-focused review, just to see another thread explode with comedy.

Creative!

I was certain you'd fail to get the point.

EOJ · Post by **EOJ** » Sat Dec 01, 2007 2:18 am

Your tactics are banal, and your words irrelevant.

But it makes for good comedy, so carry on.

So when are going to send me another apologetic PM, like the one you sent me on gamengai a few months back?

Subject: Hello & apology

[...] I did not know you had such angry feelings against me. I am very sorry for what I said to incite such feelings in you. For what it's worth, I enjoy reading your website and your articles are better than most of the video game journalism out there.

Basically I am just writing to say I am honestly sorry. I realise that may not mean much to you, however.

Your comments in that thread were spot on. I've deleted all my posts in that thread. I've realised they served no purpose.

Best wishes to you.
John

And the other one:

Hi,

I'm glad to hear it, thank you. I don't know if we'll cross paths much on the internet any more, but if we do, you can be sure I'll treat you with respect.

I've realised I really need to change my ways on the internet.

Take care,
John

And icycalm, unable to deal with his foe on an intellectual level, shows a sign of desperation too transparent to be anything but pitied.

Also of note is icycalm's reply to said PMs:

Yeah, I've also learned a lot of things from posting in forums these past couple of years, and have learned to adjust my behavior in some ways.

It's just this faceless medium that sometimes brings out the worst in people. I am sure that if you, me, Recap, Paul and others were to meet in Akihabara to go around playing arcade games we'd have a great time.

I also love how he edited out the part in the first PM about how he threatened to punch me in the face and called me an asshole, totally unprovoked. Classy guy.

icycalm · Post by **icycalm** » Sat Dec 01, 2007 2:29 am

You are not my foe. You are just some fuck on the internet.

Wake up.

EOJ · Post by **EOJ** » Sat Dec 01, 2007 2:42 am

I was looking forward to something of more substance, but I clearly overestimated you.

I'm just trying to get icycalm banned. Let's see how far I can lure him to the edge of the cliff.

PS-it's quite amazing to me, that icycalm, the proud, self-proclaimed king of sarcasm, was unable to recognize that those PMs he quoted were a sarcastic joke.

Why do you guys fight? You both love manic shmups so why hate on each other? You guys would probably be chummy if you met in real life.

Goddamn that show was stupid.

Says the guy who thinks that all reviews should have negative comments in them.

MathU · Post by **MathU** » Sat Dec 01, 2007 3:56 am

I never said or implied that. What's your problem?

cigsthecat · Post by **cigsthecat** » Sat Dec 01, 2007 5:07 am

I wondered why this thread was getting so much attention...somehow I knew it couldn't be the game itself.

MathU · Post by **MathU** » Sat Dec 01, 2007 5:09 am

I hope they localize the Wii version.

Please do! I really liked this review.

Anybody ever hear of Cyberlore Studios? The guys doing the conversion. There was a company in the 90's that did some Mechwarrior and Might and Magic games by that name...

Fair and balanced.

Self-irony. You can ask BulletMagnet about my thoughts on rank, actually...it is a shame that the joke didn't succeed. It is also true that Icarus has still to beat me on a couple of rank-laden shmups (well, beat my Golden Bat and Border Down scores at least).

On topic (and out of sheer laziness): what are the top scores (per stage) with Kohtaro and Kim's sister? If it's not too much hassle...I can't find the ST for the game

Post by **Shatterhand** » Tue Dec 11, 2007 2:18 pm

I think Icarus made a pretty good review. I enjoyed reading it. Like Icycalm said, is there any other review of the game in english language around?

I can't understand people complaining about something someone did on their free time to other people to enjoy. If you don't like the review write a better one (That's what I did when Felix The Cat had made a review of Space Manbow for this site where he clearly had played the game only for five minutes... I don't think he even got past level 2, I felt the game deserved a more detalied review and wrote one myself, even though I know my english sucks).

I hope the fight stops and we can get some more info about the game. I am personally interested
