Am I on a 1vs1 fighting games forum all of a sudden? Members of those communities seem to have all distance amputated every time I take a look at their message boards.
Pulstar and Musha Aleste (I was just playing the latter), whoa.

To those who seemingly find this the most retarded thing they've ever seen. It's Talking Classics with Keith Apicary. That's what he does. That's why he's funny. It's a roughly informative joke. :lol:

The problem is that it was awkwardly embarrassing and aimed toward the "omg I soooo miss those classic shootemups, too bad no one makes them anymore, but there's ikaruga it's like teh best classic style game ever, I'm going back to COD now!"

I actually quite like the persona Keith A, his early vids are quite funny imo, this shmups one is the first ive seen in a while and managed to get a couple of lols from me especially the finger joke.

Why dont you guys like him is it his jokes, or is it something to do with the subject matter been STGs?

One of the comments underneath is more worthy of a facepalm than the actual video:

"How in the world can he talk about SHMUPS but not mention danmaku shooters like Touhou which are the only real SHMUPS?"

Yeah.

Wish I could find the vid where he slammed his sister's head into his Neogeo cabinet, it was then that I lost all respect for him.

Never seen any of this guy's "comedy" videos before. But he is definitely not anything remotely resembling funny. :P

The Asian girl kicking his ass was probably the best part of that. Otherwise it seemed like a fairly bland video. The only thing I really didn't like is that people might draw some sort of solid connection between shmup fans and Keith and suddenly we'll all be considered hopeless awkward balding guys who act retarded.

I still really like MUSHA though.

Don't you just hate children sometimes?
Why is it called the Vic Viper/Warp Rattler? Because the Options trail behind it in a serpent-like fashion, and the iconic front fins are designed to invoke the image of a snake's fangs.

Is this sarcasm? You are way too politically correct, dude. That sounds like it would be hilarious.

As for this particular video, well...not so funny.

This reminds me of something I should post in the "annoyed" thread. To the bat mobile!

Did he mention Ikaruga at least once?
He showed: Pulstar, Musha Aleste, Keio Flying Squadron and Virtual-On. None of these games has been namedropped to death by the hip "new game journalists". Heck, only one of them is on the DREAMCAST.
Not to mention the Cave-Touhou ping-pong that is these boards' daily bread.

If you look in the comments someone mentioned he should of included Ikaruga, where Apicary himself replied that his disk was scratched
The only thing I really didn't like is that people might draw some sort of solid connection between shmup fans and Keith and suddenly we'll all be considered hopeless awkward balding guys who act retarded.
He has done other videos all about retro gaming so most ppl who watch this shouldnt make that connection (i hope)
