Yea, I'll look into it more thoroughly in the final week.

Zebra airforce have done some really nice banners there. I dont know if I should interpret that as a plus or minus in the n-p competition. Logically it's a minus, but they are so awesome I feel it should be encouraged.
...or no, and uhm, I trust you mike.

SO SZYCAG IS UNOFFICIALLY NUMBER 1 NOW!
Edit: But not no more. I've realised he only got 2 points. How embarrasing.

I love this game so hard. Power grazing, with satisfying quality rarely seen beyond tricotilamania sufferers. Unwaveringly responding to each combination. The Satori Mind. THAT solo at lv100 odd that invariably causes you to drift into some green flack. This game is the equivalent of a 3 minute, three chord Shonen Knife song. Effortlessly brilliant.

Fixed.

A simplicity that masks great depth, challenge and addictiveness.
I feel or sense none of those when I play nomltest. Now if you'll excuse me, I think I'll go and enjoy some parsec47.
I was just going to say I don't like tetris, but this works.

1) i haven't played garegga in a long fucking while and it would be nice to be egged on to do so again
2) i'm thinking of continuing my attempt of at least looping RFJ even though I'm just back to somewhat below where I once was
3) maybe I'll bother learning progear even though it's clunky as fuck
4) i've gotten tired of playing fps and puzzle and the cycle goes on

where in other weeks i was just not bothering at all because there was only one or two games i'd play and none of those got picked Image

He's telling you to put your balls where your mouth are (in my mouth)
DMC, I'm pretty sure szycag, Zebra Airforce, and other people who haven't played and posted at all have dethroned twiddle in the non-participate competition.
None of my games has been chosen. I refuse to play bad games when I can make bad songs in modplug all day, or hell, play some fucking awesome Soldam.

Soldam is so great.

solda

Please lord no progear next week

1) I haven't played it in ages either. Still remember everything though, just lost the sharpness in play.
2) We'd probably play the JPN version if it got picked. Finish that ST already, damn you. ;p
3) LOL.
4) The only other thing I've been playing is brain training games. And Every Extend Extra.

Still think you're going for maximum non-participation regardless of what gets picked next week.

I told shmups irc that I was going to play non-participation if nothing good got in and true to form nothing good got in

week 5 won't be a complete disaster, even if progear does get picked.

Also, I really should stop porndogging on pixiv and japanese p2p and get to work on that ST among other projects. I blame the lack of caffeine.

Or maybe you should just share the results of your porndogging with me.

LOL, pickypickypicky.
I expect a big score from you on Garegga, then. Call it unfinished business.

Half my team put 0-1 week participation on the sign up sheet, then Twiddle was even banned for a short time. I've just been playing other stuff and haven't considered being competitive under the circumstances. No blame on anyone else when it comes down to it thought really, just haven't had my heart in it. I did play Dangun but my scores were embarrasing and I didn't even boot Rayforce because I don't want to ruin that game for myself by playing it for score. Also Mega Man 9.

Oh, I see. How dense of me :oops:

I didn't know I had ventured my balls into such a situation. Oh well. I shall justify inane gushing with mid tier score and wallow in adulation!

(I miss the days where I can liek game without macho chest puffing :( )
