On this week's episode I get the opportunity to talk with an awesome guest, Jay Shy! He is a professional comic book artist and we sit down and have a discussion about overall shmup visual design, anime, as well as specific art styles like cyber punk and moe. I also get to learn more about Jay's experience entering the shmup community and hear his thoughts on how we can make the scene more welcoming.

Hi Everyone!
On today's episode I get to talk with Gekko of the awesome Shmup em' All podcast. We talk the French shmup scene, arcades, stunfest, the documentary, and the upcoming Ketsui port. Huge thanks to Gekko for breaking the language barrier and coming on the show. The skies above know that my pet cat has a better chance of clearing Garegga than I do speaking French for an hour.

On this week's episode I am joined by long time listener, first time caller Mr. McCormo. This interview ended up being split into 2 parts, this is the first of the pair. We discuss the possibility of shmups fitting into an eSports format, competitiveness in the shmup scene, and I go on about my idea for revising how we currently record scores.
Also, a new nest of birds was built over where I record, and they weigh in on the conversation.

On today's episode life goes full circle where I have come from being a fan of Aquas's STG Weekly series to having him be a guest on the podcast. We talk about shmups in the arcades, the history and current stage of STG Weekly, the power of nostalgia, as well as the relationship between the shmup community and the speedrunning community. Basically, right now speedrunning is James Franco and shmups are Dave Franco.

This week's episode is a unique one because it is a follow up interview. Eaglet, today's guest, was actually the 2nd person I ever interviewed for the podcast. However, during that first interview, I was not aware of his achievements in Battle Garegga, and did not learn about them till halfway through the interview. So, once the first interview was finished, I decided that I was going to do my homework and ask Eaglet back for an encore performance, which he...

Historic Description:
On today's episode, I speak with David Payne from Salt Lake City. David, also known as Dpful on these forums, is not only an OG collector of PCB's, but also a musician and a creator of his own unique shmup and arcade cabinets. The name of David's game is "JPO in SLC." David was a fantastic first guest and I think you guys are in for an enjoyable and unexpected listen.

Hey everyone,
Today is a very unusual episode in which I do go into a full blown rant about a topic that has begun to get under my skin. That being said, I also sort of lean into the ranting for humor and entertainment value, so I hope that comes across ha. For the new patrons (Thanks for joining by the way) I don't usually go into full blown rants for the exclusive episodes, but I wanted to try it out and see how the fans respond ha. I'd usually cut this episode and re-record mor...
