  • Shmupdate:

    GreyLancer (oldie but a goodie, too tempting to play on easy mode with rewinds so replay value is lowish, but was still very enjoyable.)

    Crisis Wing (love the graphics, good difficulty levels for near-beginner.)

    Radiant Silvergun (what the hell were they smokin at Treasure!? Even on very easy this is going to take me at least 25 hours to beat using every life/ship I can get. Probably double that! In the first hour of play I went from “well this is garbage” to "oh, I see, you just need to put in the time and effort and then it’s awesome.)

    Still haven’t finished the boss rush on Andro Dunos II so those extra levels will be a mystery to me…

    R-Type Dimensions EX is on sale right now, so I’ll probably buy that tomorrow.












  • I’ve always liked FF. We had FF1 on the NES back when but the battery in it was dead so we had to the leave the console on. My brother got through it after a good number of afternoons.

    I never got into it though. I like watching it. I remember the obsession around FFVII.

    Then I picked up one of those SNES Mini things that came with… FFIV. That one got me. I wasn’t surprised to find out that loads of people love that one in particular.



  • Butterball frozen turkeys are like 25% water, sugar, and salt. They’re nasty. That’s what I grew up on, And I thought they were the best of the best. One at Thanksgiving and another for Christmas! So great, plus the price is right, turkey is turkey, right?

    My mother mocked me for buying something else one year, so I can understand why people would be shocked. The waited too long, they have no backup, they think that having meat is a requirement of a healthy meal…

    But these birds aren’t worth the electricity used to freeze them.





  • I’m tracking sales on dekudeals for the moment but I did get copies of Raiden IV (which is definitely something I enjoy), Ando Dunos II ( still can’t beat the boss rush to unlock the last levels) and GreyLancer.

    I’ll probably pick up Strikers 1945 II this week since it is on sale.

    I’m just patiently waiting and also considering grabbing some physical copies of games that I’ve seen for sale on local marketplaces (Sophstar and Mushihimesama).
