My greatest accomplishment (shmup related) today.

Beat Gunbird 2 (first loop) on 2 credits. I'll put this as a higher accomplishment than any of my ALL's. How anyone can clear the first loop on one credit is beyond me, let alone both loops.

After stage 4, this game is just brutal. I can pretty consistently hit 1-5 on my first life now - 1-5 was a huge wall. The speed and homing bullets are just nasty. I'll take 1,000 cave bullets over 100 psikyo bullets any day of the week.\

I know I shouldn't be gushing about a 2 credit clear, but this is the greatest high i've had in the genre to date.

TRP-STGT 2014 Week 2 is Gemini Wing. Doing fairly well so far, up to 678k and the Stage 5 boss. I'm off to San Francisco on Thursday though, so I don't think I'll be able to play much more in this round. Seems tough on Normal, but I think I'll go back to the game afterwards and see if I can clear it on default (easy) difficulty.

San Fran? I didn't realize you were so close to me, I'll be in SF on Friday.

Haven't touched Gemini Wing yet unfortunately. Not enough damn time.

I'm actually in Germany, so not that close. :)

Just going to SF for five days for a family get-together.

I'll have to keep an eye out for a maniacal man twirling his moustache

Playing DDP DFK on the Egret, still having issues with golden disaster and have only fought hibachi twice so far. These games drain me.
