Herr Schatten asked to make the sig a little bit smaller to fit the forum rules, so here it is. Please update your sigs people.

Just replaced my Kraft durch Freude propaganda signature with the small version

Why has Ketsui never made it into the ranking for so long? Apparently there are many people who have at least played it.

jpj · Post by **jpj** » Sun Apr 19, 2009 6:13 pm

there is a KDF thread in the aptly named "Ura" section of another forum you may or may not visit...

i'll ask the creator of the KDF to crop the sig a bit better

I've been waiting for this game for years (although until my trip to Japan a couple of months ago I hadn't even played the damn thing) and since I actually played it I can't await its release. Basically got a Japanese Xbox just for Ketsui (Death Smiles is just a nice bonus IMHO). Of course, although I've spent at least 30 Euros on it in arcades I don't know Ketsui half as well as the op, but I definitely agree on the sound design (Cave OSTs are usually hit and miss, with ESP Galuda being at one end of the spectrum (=complete shit) and Ketsui at the other (a drum and base soundtrack for a military shooter? daaaaaaaamn), and the explosions and other sounds are just spot-on. Love the graphics, love the bullet patterns and playing it just feels really good.

Fuck yeah. I trust you will keep us up to date on this.

the shooting snobs approve your cause

jpj · Post by **jpj** » Mon Apr 20, 2009 3:11 pm

yeah, i know it's possible to make vids without the stretching, but youtube does that shit automatically i think... :-S

i'm starting to believe it may make it in the 25 now

BELIEVE

in other news i made it to the 5th level with 4 lives in stock and failed to make it to the 1up ship

(i still never managed to get that 1up in a non credit fed run

)

this game is cruel

Lordstar · Post by **Lordstar** » Mon Apr 20, 2009 3:38 pm

Im still waiting on stock for everyone so I had time to make this today.

GURU THE DUMP EVER? coming soon

That is full of win. Now where are the top hat shirts?

I like the possibilities your new machine opens up.

jpj · Post by **jpj** » Mon Apr 20, 2009 4:22 pm

nice t-shirt

Lordstar · Post by **Lordstar** » Mon Apr 20, 2009 4:31 pm

thanks with the new system I can do full colour prints with a really high DPI. This is just a grey scale over a red shirt but It works so well. Ive wanted to make this shirt when i first came on to shmups.com all them years ago (before the dump collection happend)

If someone supplies me with a really nice quality image of a KDF top hat related image I could make in in to a tee I guess.

Ruldra · Post by **Ruldra** » Mon Apr 20, 2009 4:38 pm

How about a group picture of the entire Force?

jpj · Post by **jpj** » Mon Apr 20, 2009 4:44 pm

here are some top hat pictures i quite like, if any of these can be KDF'd:
