I'm a 2D shoot em up player - they're my primary passion over all other types of games. I'm not the type of gamer that cares much for overall narrative; I just want to play. Not a big multiplayer gamer either, preferring to focus on the single player experience. I've been a gamer since 1985, starting on a TI99 computer that we had, which should say something about my overall perspective.
I only one guy, and I don't upload very often. It takes me time to get good at a shmup, and then, only if it clicks with me. Whether or not I upload is dependent on how good I get at something.
