So recently for some reason or other I've had some really funny thoughts about taking shmup playing to the extreme.
A: Enjoying honey while playing DDP series. The honey is a reminder that the bee gave it's life for our precious points.
B: Play gradius (excluding 5) on Easter island. The problem would be having the electricity hooked up so you could play the Moai level among the moai.
C: Play Hotdog Storm while eating only the most gourmet hotdogs available. Partaking of the hotdog represents the lack of actual hotdogs in the game.
Hmm well these all seemed very funny/zen-like at 3 AM.
Some of the best shmups don't actually end in a vowel.
No, this game is not Space Invaders.

Am I the only one thinking Konami should make Moai candy dispensers filled with mini donuts?

Play any Darius with your TV behind a fish tank, to add decoy enemies that cannot be shot.
Play through In The Hunt aboard a submarine.
Setup a game of Ikaruga with a dual signal splitter to two TVs facing each other, sit in the middle of them on a swivel chair, with the front/back of your body painted black/white, and spin 180 each time you change polarity in the game

Ikaruga should be played on a b/w TV.
RSG must be played in traffic jams.

Another with Darius =P:
Playing Darius while roasting a trout or a lobster and having several Dalí paintings in your room for additional surrealist value. You know you want your huge mecha-fishes perfectly cooked with lasers in LSD induced scenery.
Another obvious, pretty retarded one:
Playing Ether Vapor in a sauna, with a lot of vapor and no ether.
