Apparently Shmups suck. Who knew?

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!

You can find DVD Movies now online due to high technology. DVD Movies online is

rather cheap and have full seasons. You needn�t wait for months and you needn�t downloads for nights. Now you can order

hundreds of DVD BOX SETS in few minutes.
P90X is the good Body Building Guide for family. Both
