Shmups and Buddhism

Being able to focus your mind like a Buddhist Monk could greatly help your shmup skills. Able to focus on one point with out distractions could easily get you through bullet hells. Also you'll be nicer and happier and able to forgive casual gamers for all the stupid shit they say.

Both are dominant Asian religions.

Ikaruga has a strong Bhuddist theme. It's focused around the ideas of reincarnation. I always thought this was way more interesting than the game itself :p

I think I could use a little more reincarnation in that game if you get my drift

I should hope not. I never understood how the matrix portrayed enlightenment as being able to beat the fuck out of people.

then again, what do I care as an unconfirmed existentialist.

Buddhists don´t care for score or 1ccs. They just play for fun - err, the "here and now".
