i took a break from shooters

[finisherr]

I took a break from shooters, and video games all together. Just needed to focus on other things for a little while. Anyway, popped in Futari and ran some God mode, cracked a few beers, and put on Slayer. Intense bullet hell just compliments thrash so well. Best if sound effects are pumped to 100% and game music down to 0%. Fucking awesome.

Hey,
cool story, bro.

[finisherr]

it's not so much a story as it is a RECOMMENDATION FOR AWESOME SHOOTING.

I'm sure your neighbors love you.

[Vamos]

10/10 would read again .

[sikraiken]

So did I.

You should have wrote that you was listening to Skrillex, than this thread would have already over 1000 replies and half of them from Skykid.

Something like this:

... And people on other forums say we're the elitist assholes. I can't imagine why.

[cools]

we're the elitist assholes

Be proud.

[Kollision]

feels refreshing to know that shmups are niche
it must suck to like just what everybody else does

[KAI]

Elitism. This place needs posting regulations.

[beatsgo]

Niche forums always brings the troll out of us.

[Skykid]

Good to see the high quality trend in shmups chat is continuing. Keep 'em comin!

[sikraiken]

Keep playing more. Join the shooting game tournament too this year.

Which Slayer album, South of Heaven, Seasons in the Abyss?

If becoming popular means your game has to include:

- Online only DRM.
- Content on the disc that you already own, but isn't enabled until you buy additional DLC.
- An RMAH.
- Filler content to artificially inflate playlength with boring stuff.
- A spyware account that you have to log into to run the game.
- Etc.

Then I, for one, am glad that shmups remain niche. I feel like I have traveled through the desert wasteland of mainstream gaming to arrive, at last, at the refreshing waters of the oasis of shmupdom.

This post doesn't seem to fit in this thread, but for some reason, I like it.

Nah shmups are from back when being popular meant being yet another derivative quarter muncher.

I took a break from shooters...

Did this involve copious amounts of sex with various gorgeous women on a daily basis? Because I cannot make sense of this statement otherwise

[EmperorIng]

Who says you can't have both?

[Udderdude]

This is now a "Convince Udderdude to get back into shmups" thread.

Go ahead, bitches. Make my day. >_>

[EmperorIng]

screw that man. Start playing 2D platformers.

Your ultimate quest will be to pick up Psychic Killer Taromaru.

I heard about this real weird shmup that you might like.

It's got about 50-kajillion modes including a separate EXE with broken input replays and impossible difficulty but it's cheap and a great buy.

Actually I think you might've heard of it, it's called the XOP Ultra Bundle.

[malchitos]

Which Slayer album, South of Heaven, Seasons in the Abyss?

Or maybe it was "Reign in Blood!"

especially good for shmups from that album: "Angel of Death", "Piece by Piece", and "Altar of Sacrifice"

[malchitos]

Who says you can't have both?

I don't know I've found that when I have free time...it's either girlage or Shmupage....never both. Of late my lady has been practicing No-Sex-Fu so I've been hitting the shmups more.

[Op Intensify]

Slayer's Raining Blood is probably the ultimate annoy-your-neighbors song.

Scar Tissue, Tubthumping, and Who Let the Dogs Out are strong contenders.

That semester in college where my neighbor played Euro house music every night with the speakers against the wall was pretty bad too.

[roker]

I had the same exact story to tell, except I used a mega mix from the 80s/90s featuring (but not limited to) Debbie Gibson, MC Hammer, Whitney Houston, Color me Badd, and Paula Abdul.

[xbl0x180]

I used to work out to 80s Front 242 and now I play video games to Front 242

I've gleaned some things from reading the responses in this thread:

1. Some of you guys probably never get laid. I mean, if you did, why would you make such a big stink of it? I'm not sure if you're aware, but getting laid is fairly commonplace and not the biggest deal in the world. If you find that it is a big deal, well, I'm sorry. If you mentioned these things in jest, well, you really have no chance in hell and I wish you the best of luck.

2. Some of you can appreciate my suggestion that listening to thrash while shooting can significantly heighten the intensity of gameplay. To those people...I was mostly spinning Reign in Blood and South of Heaven, but some Testament and Anthrax albums as well.

3. Some of you don't understand that being an elitist and being a one-dimensional, boring poster don't really have that much to do with each other.

Sexual abstinence is a new shmups.org registration requirement.
