So, I like shmups. I'm not particularly amazing at them, but they're fun.

On Deathsmiles, I just scored 1,507,135,540.

Now, I know Cave shmups have insane scoring systems, so I was wondering, to all the shmup fans here at HG, is that a good score, or pretty mediocre?

If it helps, I was playing Mega Black Label 1.1 as Sakura.

So there's a game out in South Korea that's proven to be pretty popular, called Chronos Sword. I know relatively little about the game except for the fact that it's published by the former EVIL CORPORATION OF AMERICA, Electronic Arts.

So, how do EVIL CORPORATIONS OF AMERICA sell video games to South Koreans?

By making popular South Korean girl groups sing the theme song and release a music video for it.



I love you, EA.

So is staring at cute Koreans.

At least mine, anyway!

You can thank me later.

Just kidding, lack of youtube embeds on the forums make me a sad panda.

If you thought you were safe, you were wrong.

Fuck. Yes.

So I caved got Steam the other day. I remember when it first came out and everyone hated it (yet I don't even remember why) but my experience with it so far has been a pretty pleasant one. I took advantage of this weekend deal Steam was doing, and purchased The Elder Scrolls games available on the service, Morrowind and Oblivion, for $5 and $8.50, respectively. A good deal considering they came complete with all the expansions and in Oblivion's case, the DLC. I also downloaded Team Fortress 2 during the free weekend but never got around to playing it...
