If only I could go back to my youth and discover shmups BEYOND R-Type, Space Invaders, Defender, and Sinistar. D: I might have actually 1CC'd a CAVE shmup by now...

It makes me both smile and slightly tilt my head in a "huh" fashion to hear someone that young call these games classics. We obviously need more youth with good taste in games.

Just how does he have such refined taste and knowledge by that age?!! I guess I played good games, but they were very mainstream.
Surely he must have perused forums like this and sprent a lot of time with wikipedia.
That said, I was a cunning little shit as a youngster - If I could do what I did with swindling my homework, maybe he's done the same with his shmups knowledge....
This is by far the funniest shit I have ever seen on youtube. Move aside Rob, you are obsoleted.
They only get better and better with the beat em up and action game videos. Plus he's 11 so he has tons of free time and makes a new one like every day.
