YouTube Oddity: Cave Tribute
I just found this video over at NeoGAF. It’s a guy with an extremely thick (or put-on) southern accent talking about Cave’s shmups. He also throws in a few funny jabs at our friends over at Shmups.com. My favorite line would have to be: “Like, I’ll give you a few million dollars to make Guwange 2, I already suck at Guwange, but give me another one to suck at.”
Anyway, sit back and enjoy, shmup fans.
UPDATE: DJ Incompetent swings in with some back story in the comments section below.

I don’t wanna play Mars Matrix – I hate Mars Matrix. On the other hand, this video is comedy genius…

So he put them back on.
This is all Rob from shmups.com. The accent is faked, but he lives in Alaska so that’s why it’s so good. That stab is at icycalm, who writes articles for Insomnia.ac, that guy got banned from the shmups.com pretty recently for bein’ all elitist nutjob.
Anyway, Rob had the videos up for a long time. One day, he randomly closed his youtube account. Everybody was all “WTF those vids were fucking awesome!!” and he was all like, “whatever.” I guess he finally got talked into reinstating his shit.
All his Pro Reviews are fantastic. http://www.youtube.com/user/xoxak

That video is really fucking funny.
And, at the same time, it reminds me of why Cave kicks so much ass. I have to go get some of those that I don’t have.

That’s awesome. Makes me want to play some shmups, but I’ll have to call my friend over who does a really great southern accent to be my commentator.

I LOL’d. Love the mid sentence cut-offs for a recommendation of Mars Matrix. Makes me want to dust that sucker off and give it a go.

I fucking LOVE Mars Matrix. Lot’s of great gaming to be had on that one. It was the reason I got an Dreamcast Arcade Stick. So I could better pull off those shield reflect moves.
And the unlock-able shit is a huge motivator. Some of those super-plays are ridiculous.

Rob’s reviews are back? Hell yes, those were insanely hilarious.
“Clearly I can’t dodge that, so this review is DONE.”
