STG Weekly #73: Varth

[Cadrin]

I apologize profusely for the desync issues. Lesson learned, don't use VLC!

You accidentally set the playback speed to 0.90x around Segment 6, so I don't think that's really VLC's fault.

Thanks for covering the game. This was a nice, informative stream.

Next up, Ibara!!!

Not sure what replay we'll be looking at... I spo'se if a forum member has a crazy video we'd use that one. trap probably has a good idea. Anyway, this episode is as you may guess, coinciding with the TRP-STGT game of the week which is Flying Shark.

Please discuss the regional differences as well. I don't think I've been looking forward to an episode this much since never.

Episode is up on Youtube. A bit of a different mix of things on this episode but it turned out pretty fun.

Loved this episode!

I really must disagree on the whole "enemies don't snipe you when you're up close during the first loop" idea you have. On the first loop, the enemies just won't fire again until their first bullet has traveled off screen that along with their turrets moving slower might give the impression of that. They just won't fire unless you're in their cross hair. IMHO, of course.

[Ed Oscuro]

Here's a fun experiment: Hover over one of the two tanks that come from the left side at the beginning of the game, shooting down the kamikaze planes but avoiding shooting the tanks. Observe what happens (or doesn't happen, as the case may be)!

There definitely is a range within which at least some enemies will not snipe at you on the first loop.

[trap15]

Yeah, I actually said something about that. Or rather, I implied it when I said the second loop doesn't have it

Game list isn't set in stone... but... perhaps it's better a surprise.

Episode is up. Youtube is being kind of weird I don't know if it's just me but it fails to load immediately, if it happens just toggle the quality setting.

Its youtube. moar shittier than ever.

[CStarFlare]

Good episode. Loved hearing everyone's reactions to Harmful Park

Everyone should know that it can be purchased on the Japanese PSN for whatever PS1 games go for on PSN. It's not super expensive, that's for sure.

[Spirit X]

I'd like to add show requests for:

• Radiant Silvergun
  EspGaluda 2
  Afterburner Climax (not technically a shmup I know but I think a high-level replay/ commentary would be sweet)

Love the show. Keep up the good work.

Came into the chat a bit late but I just finished the youtube video and I liked it. Interesting fact: there is a track by one of my favorite doujin music composers, Cyber-Rainfoce.

I'd like to be entered in the giveaway for the codes Aquas
