Awesome. But why collect games when you can collect consoles instead?

Recently I've actually started playing more STG's that posting about them. I'm getting pretty good too. Maybe I should quit the shmups forum...

Play shmups? yeah I love Quake!

I honestly don't really play shmups anymore. I'm not a hardcore gamer anymore either

...
I basically play stress-free easy games and drink diet cola.

Yeah, but I really don't like the controls anymore. I sold all my games except for Brawl. I basically only have it for Ocarina of Time and my other Zelda titles.

I've been playing a bit of SSBM and XOP lately. Otherwise, I've kept myself busy by drawing and watching obscure robot shows.

Only talk about them. Who on earth would play a game?

At first glance it's kind of a silly question, but I havn't really played Bemani games for almost two years and I still bum around Bemani forums.

I still play shmups tho~

I don't do either that much. I only find it necessary to buy about 3 shmups a year. I am also finding myself not in the mood for any games. I bought MGS4, played it for 10 minutes and have not touched it since. Maybe on a cold winter night, tucked in a warm room YES. But light blazing through the window until 10pm at night and enough heat to make your clothes stick.. Yeah right!

I'm guilty of not beating ALL my games... this is true. You won't see my name on any high score boards either. But my shooters have all gotten some love. I've beat them all except last hope, r type delta, donpachi (need to fix that), and i think that's it shooter wise.... I have ALOT of shooters though.

I think the ones that recently have gotten the most play are mushi PCB and ESP Galuda 2 PCB. Recently there has been alot of next gen play for me. Went through MGS4 twice and Ninja Gaiden 3 three times.

I only talk about the Shmups I haven't played. Unless there's a secret in a past Shmup I own.

HellSinker caused me to type paragraphs of how the figure the game out and how to make things do other things that are really pretty to look at.

Other than that I play shmups even past the point of where my subconscious says, "Enough, you can't 1cc this game!"

Then I go rant on how crappy the good ending in TouHou games are.

majors · Post by **majors** » Tue Jul 01, 2008 6:17 am

I beat Twin Eagle II !!!...I didn't 1cc it, but I'm still learning the patterns. Get off my back!

I don't even talk about them anymore.

whats to talk about. only cave make them anymore

Post by **spadgy** » Tue Jul 01, 2008 12:17 pm

Sometimes, I talk about them while I play them, as some of the Casino regulars will know.

Mostly though, I talk about them while I play with myself, or play with them while I talk about myself..

I'm watching intros
that's way enough. don't wanna chat about that either.

The coolest guys are the ones who cant stop discussing and complaining about certain shmups and have never played them / are scared of trying, because they would fail.

Play what I have access to, talk about the rest.

MR_Soren · Post by **MR_Soren** » Tue Jul 01, 2008 12:25 pm

My policy is to only talk about games when it's not possible to play them. (At work, hiking with a buddy, etc)

At home, I don't let myself waste time on forums unless I have to look something up. My game time is best spent playing the games instead of talking about them.
