!! ), and I am back to this most awesome Shmups forumboard after at least a couple of forced absences from the internet due to an internet disconnection as a result of an unpaid cable bill that I had to help my uncle pay for two straight recent months in a row! I mean, very tough times that I had to go through this summer, you know? Anyway, I have returned finally indeed... and thank rather God for that!!! 
!Speaking of very tough times, have you ever had one of those times where while you are going for a full no-miss clear of an entire shmup that you are playing, a certain stage/area boss comes in and just WIPES AWAY all of your lives completely in a single pass-through, suddenly from right out of nowhere... that can quite easily result in one of the worst Game Overs you have ever experienced, most shockingly!! Boy, doesn’t that make you so pissed that you feel like throwing expletives out of your mouth from the top of your lungs as well as chucking your controller utterly hard at the TV/arcade screen, hmmm?
I mean, as plain as day, I can clearly remember as a kid while I was playing the Game Boy 1989 shmup entitled SolarStriker where I was doing quite outstanding in getting a full no-miss clear of the entire game so far... right up to the end of Stage 4 where there was a huge base with its many stationary pods that shot bullets in all directions, just blowing away my current ship as well as ALL of my remaining lives in one single pass... made me quite mad and frustrated that I did not care to play it anymore at that time for a long while.
So with that said, what is indeed your single shmup boss that wiped out your entire game like that (ESPECIALLY if you are going for your full no-miss run in the game’s entirety as well)? It would be truly damn interesting for all of us to hear your thoughts on that (
! ), as that kind of situation right there is quite one of those disastrous nightmares that even we as an amazing shmup community has probably gone though in some point or another.See you in a bit as we discuss this right now and let’s help each other overcome those horrible, horrible nightmares together!!!
UPDATE (on August 21, 2011 at 3:40pm EST): In my first typing of my initial post, I have typed it in in a very angry manner that made some viewers really uncomfortable (
), as I found out from the first two replies that I saw where I realized my error (I did not know better at the time). And so, I have just adjusted the post to make it sound a little nicer for the benefit of this very community, especially for me to correct myself. My deepest apologies for that mistake.
