Real Men Play Gradius
 
Shmups for life.

Kicking the everloving **** out of a shmup is a completely different sort of experience than pwning n00bs in Halo 2 and, I'd wager, one that marks and sets aside the truly "hardcore" from the rest of us.

Say what you will, but I agree with every word that guy says. We've all become a bunch of pansies.

Real Pimpz Play Tetris!!!

ThirdMarioBro 01-31-2007 05:26 AM

221 lines, NES Tetris. Beat that.

I make you mah' bee-atch! :P

Shark 01-31-2007 05:36 AM

Not sure how many lines, but level 42 of Gameboy Tetris after spending countless boreing hours at the Laundry mat. You my bee-atch now! I pimp slap you!!!11!!!!1

Spitfire 01-31-2007 06:22 AM

My roommate beat level 13 upside down in Tetris. He laid on his bed upside down the whole time haha He's nuts at it.

Anarky 01-31-2007 06:37 AM

Damn, that video is awesome. I mean, Ikaruga is a beautiful game to begin with, but this guy makes me wet my pants. I have played Ikaruga and it's incredibly, incredibly difficult after a while.

And yes, I do appreciate people who know how to play way more than those who just play. It's like when someone manages to pull off a headshot in Unreal Tournament on a distance you'd usually need the scope for. Or when they know a level so well, they could play it blind. Everyone can just shoot someone or jump on a Koopa's head, but there's a difference between knowing and playing.

... now I wish I was still good at UT.

Peanut 01-31-2007 08:17 AM

Maybe if all shoot em ups weren't exactly the same, I'd play them. As it stands, I'll pass.

Hey guys! your looking at the only member probably here who owns Gradius collection for the psp. I also have played the released Parodius Portable, Salmander Portable and Twinbee Portable. A friend of mine imported them. they are super sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!

Paroduis.. never played it but it cracks me up. Salmander is !#!$ing awesome and os is twinbee. Import these right this minute.

Peanut 02-01-2007 12:43 AM

We know...we all know...you have the Gradius Collection. We know.

So..so now I'm...I'm the stenographer. When did this happen?

愛 02-01-2007 12:44 AM

There ain't nothing on here, man, that's disgusting stuff.

Peanut 02-01-2007 12:47 AM

WOAH! Bad wiring my friend. That's what you tell the insurance company. And you stick to it, don't waffle, I'm fairly certain...they will drop you.

愛 02-01-2007 01:01 AM

Is this really about the money? I thought it was about the love. I thought it was about....the music!

Peanut 02-01-2007 01:04 AM

I can't commit to that! I'm young, I'm wild and I'm single! You don't put a leash on a tiger! Besides, that's not female. Look, no boobies!

Yeah, I mean over the phone. He says that it sounds like the hobbit that turns the crankcase is depressed and needs therapy. We need to get us a new hobbit. They's from the land beyond time. Land beyond time's also gonna hook us up with the unicorn for the radiator. I ain't even gonna tell you about that haunted air conditioner. Plus the air filter, that's made of plutonium. That's gonna involve Superman, so, y'know, plus shipping from Krypton...an the cow...jumped over the moon.

Well, you've gone off topic. And I HAVE a woman thank you very much >.> Granted she's a lesbian, so I don't get to kiss her or hold her hand, but at least I have one >.> What does all of this have to do with Gradius?! >.<

ThirdMarioBro 02-01-2007 01:44 AM

I try not to make sense of people who are obviously trying to hide the needles before the cops raid his apartment. ;)
