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!

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

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.

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!

Why don't you just go back inside and stroke your test tubes like I know you love to do?!
