The last few days have been busy but fun, which is a welcome change. I have been getting out more, and although I have been carefully masking up and social distancing, it has been nice visiting coffee cafes and having a pub meal.
I have managed to write quite a lot of news and review articles for Shoot You Sir, and we have received some reader reviews, which Graham is organising. It is nice to have inspiration for writing and playing more again, and i have a rekindled love for the Switch AKA the SHMUP beast.
Star Hunter DX has occupied my gaming time recently, a retro looking game with modern mechanics, the game poses a bit of a challenge. It also has some in built incentives. But you can read more about these in a future Shoot You Sir issue! I have also played a little bit of EDF 2 on Switch.
I have ordered DonPachi on PS, so I should be able to complete my article on the DoDonPachi series. I have also started cataloging SHMUPs released in 2021 in order to put together a brief article at the end of the year ‘SHMUPS of the year’.
I have been playing guitar a lot more again, and have been enjoying the Martin 00-15 - as beautiful guitar indeed.
I’m hoping to get some more reviews written over the next week or so, and will be looking at putting my CAVE shmups on the Xbox 360 on the bay.
