I have no idea. My friends aren't into shmups the way I am, and it usually breaks the balance and makes it boring anyways. There may be shmups that are well-suited for it with dynamic balance and such but that's not really my area of expertise.

There are a few shmups aimed at 2p play, but I would just recommend something with a Novice mode, like Mushi Futari.

People like to instantly succeed, thus shmups usually turn them off, but Novice mode gives you autobomb, and slows the bullets so much that most people could weave them.

Nothing quite like deleting 600+ unread emails... Mostly various shit from colleges I no longer attend.

Probably gonna follow up by cleaning out my hard drives, starting with getting rid of my stale XP partition and about 30% of my music.

...Wow. The only way to remove your personal information from "MyLife.com" is to either submit your credit card to them via an unsecure webpage, or to fill out a form with a copy of your goddamn driver's license. So anyone searching my name is quickly treated to my hometown, and the only way to remove this breach of privacy is to give up more privacy. What a crock of shit.

To "verify your identity." I might end up calling their customer service and giving them an earful.

Didn't you give up that privacy when you initially submitted your application to whatever MyLife.com is?
