WARNING! SHMUP PORN!

I feel I need add nothing further. (Video choice inspired by o1s1n)

Oh god yes!!

I'm looking for a wall mount in my new house for the TV. Must see if I can get one that has a vertical option..I guess it's more or less the same as mounting a standard bracket - just so much cooler!

What truly makes that YouTube video so special is the choice of game. I'm sure I'm not alone in thinking this.

A rotating wall mount is certainly on my wish list. I wonder if you can get rotating projector screens?!

I have a projector and just painted the wall in my home office with special paint called "projector goo" or "screen goo". So the whole wall is a screen.
Then just pop the projector on its side and you have what ever size/shape screen you want

Unfortunately retro consoles do look like crap on any projector I've seen/had

my copy arrived yesterday from play-asia. The amount of achievements I got for about 10 secs play was crazy.

Alas no. I've already bought every Cave game available for the iPad including Espgaluda II. I will get it though, and Bullet Soul if it's region free.

For now though I'm concentrating on buying NTSC-J Dreamcast SHMUP'S. I did buy Mushihimesama Futari DLC on XBLA today though. Forgot I had 800 points lying dormant so nabbed 2100 more today and snagged it for my Cave collection. The good woman thinks I have a serious addiction to SHMUP'S though she secretly loves Deathsmiles MBL.

Bare in mind that's for the region free Platinum Collection version. Sadly Muchi Muchi Pork & Pink Sweets is still super expensive for my budget and new Platinum Collection SHMUPS appear to be region coded again.

Which is boring.

Indeed, but try unlocking all the ones after that

And if you want shmup porn, check out this bad boy. I got one single credit go about three hours before I had to leave Tokyo (after queuing in Hey! Akihabara with the hardcore Japanese shmup fans), and my word the triple screen setup is one of the most spectacular video game related things I've seen.

Yep came across this from Taito's tweet stream a while ago. Looks aboslutely jawdropping. Reminds me a little of a certain other 'grande' SHMUP SMUTFEST.

THIS.
