Yours truly has been selected to participate in the first annual “Shmups World Cup”. I will be on a team with other east coast players taking on teams from Germany, UK, Canada, France, Sweden and Italy. We will be playing shooters from every console and emulator you can think of. From Gradius on the NES to Under Defeat on the Dreamcast, we’ll be playing it and kicking ass. The Tourney starts this Monday.
Wish us luck.

I’m a 2d gamer, plain and simple. I enjoy fighters and shmups and not much else. The best way to play my favorite style of game? An arcade stick. I stumbled across this website of a very talented gentleman who contructs some stylish and sexy joysticks. If I had unlimited disposable income I would purchase every stick this guy makes. Check ‘em out and enjoy.

Let no one ever say that life doesnt imitate art…. or vice versa..

Enjoy you WOW Addicts.
