I'm pretty much walking out the door, but I wanted to post this today; so bear with me.
Things to know:
- This is an audio-blog because it's way quicker than trying to type everything, and time is a factor for me right now.
- It's in em-pee-three format.
- I mention 13thDragon and Banj, but this isn't directly addressed to them. It's to anyone who is wondering why people like Ikaruga, or even games like it.
- I have no idea how to do an outro.
- I pretty much just sat down and winged this. There's extremely little editing done on it too, so it's a little rough.
- It's 5 minutes long, but you can browse the intertubes while listening. How convenient!
- I'm not trying to take pot-shots at people who don't like the game. Diff'rent strokes.
- I just saw EDS's c-blog about Ikaruga. He touches on some of the same points that I do. Sorry, if I had seen it first I would have added more, but I don't have time to re-record.

If I had done a bunch of writing, extra takes, editing etc. then yeah it probably would have taken quite some time, but I didn't. I just sat down, talked for 5 minutes, and hit the stop button. Editing took less than a minute as there was only one time I tripped over my tongue. Wrote the text while I was uploading and bam, done. From Starting to record to posting took me less than 10 minutes all told. I didn't even listen to the whole thing after recording. :P
I just really wanted to get it out of my system, though after doing it I think that in some ways I prefer recording to writing. Not that I'm about to start doing tons of audio-blogs or anything, but I may do something like this again in the future.
Thanks to everyone who listened.
FUCK YOU IF YOU DIDN'T (Reaprar)
Kidding. Got much Reaprar love :D
P.S. I should really pick my titles better, it looks like a few people didn't listen and just posted a knee jerk reaction without realizing what I'm actually trying to say. This is bigger than just Ikaruga ;)
@Rider Chop
it's a game where white bullets power you up, and white bullets kill you
and black bullets power you up, and black bullets kill you
basically the entire game is a metaphor for racism, it's awesome
I'm not really into the game, but I don't hate it or think it's bad at all. That's because of what you said. I'm not a SHMUP guy. Not as much as some other people. I do find it enjoyable, but I still haven't decided if I want it.
Im gonna go commit Seppeku now.
No I would have listend Ghost, Im just having internet troubles lately and I felt like being funny.
I'm messing with you =P
i sound like a jackass without the only (...well, more of a jackass then intended anyway)
