[Dasmos]

God, I think I registered my first account in 2003 (I'm pretty sure I lurked before then) and then made this account in June 2004. Almost 8 years?! That's actually pretty depressing thinking about it haha.

Someone that's not me should make a shmup megathread. I've caught shmup fever again and would post in it a lot. Are there any shmup wizards on the forum?

[NWR_insanolord]

I'm not very good at megathreads. I tend to make them and then be the only one who posts in them, like Maxi's My Little Pony thread except with soccer instead of ponies.

[S-U-P-E-R]

maybe you should post about video games on a video games forum~

[NWR_insanolord]

We do have a General Chat section for all the things that aren't video games, that generally boils down to movies, tv shows and mobile phone OS showdowns. It's not my fault if the people here aren't cultured enough to appreciate anything beyond that.

[S-U-P-E-R]

>cultured
>televised sports

nope

[Crimm]

If it was about soccer AND My Little Ponies there would be two of you in the megathread.

This does make me rather want to merge the two and see what comedy is built from the new timeline.
