[baconsandwich]

@chapel976 nope, since my partner died out early, I couldn't make as many points. Third times the charm though! Once more into the breach in 68 days!

[chapel976]

I just realized you spelled Ikaruga on the title. might help with searches to fix it ;)

[BlackFlame619]

Which day was this? Sunday?

[chapel976]

lol. who was the person who said "I haven't played this in like 10 years..." it came out at the dead end of 2001 in Arcades and Americans didn't get to play it until like 2003 on the gamecube or September 2002 if you were lucky enough to have a Japanese Dreamcast

[boozysmurf]

@chapel976 Actually, that was me. But it's always good to meet a douchebag stuck on semantics. Given the event, I wasn't actually counting years and researching exactly when I played it. I played it. it was "like" (around) ten years ago. Eight and a half, give or take.

I know, I shouldn't feed the self-important trolls.

[chapel976]

@boozysmurf LOL. Sorry. Just busting balls :D Good video. Much better than the top balcony, portait-mode shaky cams. I make those mistakes with time too.

You just made me feel old when you said this game was around 10 years ago... like... REALLY old... of course I remember playing Congo Bongo on my VIC-20.

[boozysmurf]

@chapel976 hahaaaa! No worries.

Was talkin' at work today about 'first games', and I played some kind of tank simulator on an old zenith in about '81, soooo, yeah. I feel ya on old. And thanks on the vid: it's just shot with a lil' FLIP cam.

And holy crap. Yeah, I remember congo bongo. And the various summer and winter olympics games on the vic and commodore.

What is the song playing at the start of the video?

[ZefUnavailable]

Man that last bit was freakin intense. Way to go.

[baconsandwich]

That was me! I have no idea where any of that came from, I'm really not that good

[boozysmurf]

@baconsandwich Dude, that was awesome. Seriously! The crowd was goin' apeshit once you were flying solo!

[chapel976]

@baconsandwich Had you ever played it before? I would have lost my shit if I got this as my game... I used to be awesome.

[baconsandwich]

@chapel976 Yeah, a short time playing on the gamecube. My teammate had never even heard of it.

[chapel976]

@baconsandwich also, how was the trip?

[baconsandwich]

@chapel976 My trip to the Land of Failure? Pretty bad.

[chapel976]

@baconsandwich wait, didn't you win? was the trip just bad?

[chapel976]

@baconsandwich oh wait. for some reason I thought you won because you lasted longest! :(

[MotusG1]

Holy balls, that remaining guy on Team 1 was hardcore.
