Apparently Shmups suck. Who knew?
ry mc \| 1:40 PM on 06.30.2008	6 comments

Excellent and fun write up I stumbled across. A good read for those who do not understand
the concept of an STG, and a good read for those who do.

My favorite part:

[i]Of course shmups are hard games. That's a part of their inherent awesomeness. The entire
fun comes from bettering yourself.[/i]

Side note: Shmups is not an acronym. Just like Ys is spelled Ys and not "Y's", shmups is a
catchy (but silly) smushing of "shoot em up." Just sayin.

Oh man, Mr. Wilson's invoking Hamza's wrath now.

Also, I've also noticed how shmups seem to get horrible scores, despite being good games. Bunch of soft little children!

Nothing, dummy. Maybe you should make a new account with _ to really get to me. Oh wait, no one will be able to read your blog if you do that. Bwhwhaahaha.
