Been playing a little bit of Salamander (Saturn) when I haven't been playing Final Fantasy 8 or watching movies.

EDIT: I also played through Macross: Do You Remember Love? It's definitely...interesting to say the least.

Since I'm not rich enough to afford actual PCBs yet I have been cracking out on the PS2 Cave ports lately. Hopefully I'll be able to get a PCB of SOMETHING by next year.

Should've probably just posted here instead of staring a thread.

My friend got addicted to mars matrix and dragged me along for the ride.

I'm waiting to go home and play some vga ikaruga. I never get tired at that game (and I don't seem to improve much either)

Been plugging away at Triggerheart Exelica on XBLA and I'm enjoying it very much. Initially I wasn't very impressed initially but something seems to have clicked now and I've come to appreciate the planning and the route to take through the game.

I also really like the Easy mode in this game with the popcorn bullets, especially considering the fact that it has its own leaderboard. Seems to help me learn the enemy placing and practice my enemy tossing.

When not playing that I'm dabbling in a variety of other XBLA games, but mostly it's Geometry Wars 2. Pacifism is brilliant 'bullet' herding fun and I love King mode. I'm not too hot with the standard modes though and I struggle to get past a couple of million. Need to practice.

Border Down, and I'm awful at it. Not necessarily at surviving, but just scoring at all.
But I really like the game and might end up printing some parts of the strategy thread for it.

Got up to 1R_8ST in Gradius Gaiden and then it went all downhill from there.

Just bought Cho MF'ing Aniki on VC. Due to college, however, I haven't found time to play it a lot.

Thanks to this thread, Phantasy Star 4.

Is Trigger Heart Exelica good? I have heard some good things about it. I just got Omega Five the other day as well.

edit: Maybe some PatriotDark, too.
