Silliest topic ever.

Playing Raiden during a thunderstorm. (Yeah, I did it.)

Extra credit: Refusing to play any Raiden game unless it's storming.

[Gespenst]

Quite often happen to me:
When the school's bell rings, I always think it's a sort of a random warning sign, especially the Ikaruga ones.

[guigui]

Play Battle Garegga on your hidden garagge's cab.

Get the flu, pump up the disco, and play some Dangun Feveron.

I'm glad I never cared. Why did you ruin it?

Pathetic dedication: checking Takumi's website for updates. Gee, another fishing game.

[TLB]

Lighting a bomb under my nuts every time I fuck up/miss a bomb in Ibara.

- Ikaruga : gather two white people (ship 1 white, ship 2 white) and two black people (ship 1 black, ship 2 black) and have them play the game, exchanging joypads when needed.

- Faint death each time your ship explodes (works better for fighting games)

- Playing as Memory in Twinkle Star Sprites, while eating bread, sweets, cakes and whatever.

- Play shmups when in a plane.

- Zero gunner 2 : bind the left/right rotations to some additionnal machinery that rotates your chair around your screen

[Danbo]

Strikers 1945 with your shirt off.

[Ed Oscuro]

Getting fondled around the buttocks by a samurai while playing any Psikyo game?

My vote is for playing a Toaplan game whilst dancing on a DDR pad. Candidate Toaplan games: Zero Wing, Truxton II, Out Zone. Anything with the fast random-seeming bullets from a boss.

[ED-057]

Playing Centipede while experiencing an infestation of centipedes (BTW, is there a shmup with fruit flys? or mold?)

[Gespenst]

Playing XII Stag final stage while you study virology.

Play Aero Fighters in a jetfighter (according the plane you select in the game)

Playing Ibara while flying a bi-plane and screaming shit in some european language that sounds a lot like German

[Ed Oscuro]

Playing Centipede while experiencing an infestation of centipedes (BTW, is there a shmup with fruit flys? or mold?)

Centipedes, in your nest? It's more likely than you think.

Also, playing Exed Exes or any Donpachi series game while also playing the role of Wicker Man. "Not the bees!" BEEEEEEEEEES.

[gunbird18]

Compulsively avoiding powerups in every shmup you play in order to get a karmic rank decrease in Garegga.

Brilliant!

Force your kids to play Toilet Kids. In the toilet.

Specineff's made me LOL.

Seeing this thread and laughing at it for about an hour, because you didn't catch it from a year ago...now that is absurd dedication to shmup humor!

[Gespenst]

Collide your plane in order to reduce your plane's firepower level when you fly a plane

[gunbird18]

-Fire up your copy of Ikaruga.

-Grab a plate full of Oreo cookies.

-Grab a jug of white milk and a jug of chocolate milk.

-You may only eat the part of the Oreo cookie that matches the color of your ship. (So you better start out as the dark half, heh)

-When you have built up your secondary laser and you are ready to use it, let her rip and chug either the white milk or chocolate milk, depending on which color you are using.

-Edit: You may want to add a little strawberry syrup to your chocolate milk if you want to give it that reddish glow and be true to the game.

Sorry for all that...too early in the morning.

[Runefaust]

Lovely thread cant resist to add some crap:


-Play Espgaluda with unisex parfume on

-Play Dodonpachi in church (bee praying)

-Go to your local Seaworld and make a shark perform the Free Willy move (Flying Shark) or BBQ him (Fire Shark)

-Rob your local bank, and pick up the gold bars in that very moment they shine (Strikers)

-Play Brave Blade in your extra-build orbital elevator

[Specineff]

You eat at Red Lobster, and when the server brings out your food you shout "WARNING! A Huge Battleship DUAL SHEARS Is Approaching Fast!"

I can't believe I missed this one. Awesome.

Play checkers or chess and start counting the chains as you capture pieces from your opponent, imitating the Ikaruga voice. (When your opponent punches you in the face, you say "Broke Chain.")

(Or while shooting heroin. Points if you get it. Sorry, it's 3 AM. -__- )

[antron]

Playing the donpachis while being prosecutedt to the full extent of the jam.

[ave]

- Play DoDonPachi emulated on the PSP while cycling on the streets of a city during the rush hour traffic collapse. You have to touch a car every second in order not to lose your combo, but you must not hit the cars with anything else but your hands. Don't use your break for the Maximum-bonus and touch every Volkswagen New Beetle crossing your route to make sure you get the Bee bonus up.
