So it's come to this... the weekend. Glad you made it!
As always, feel free to use this thread to talk about whatever topics you'd like--gaming or not, it's all go!

I've been keeping busy watching videos about Truxton Extreme mostly--it's getting a large amount of coverage, for some reason! I still don't plan to pick it up unless it goes on massive sale, but it's nice to see people pay attention to a new shmup, eh?

The Truxton videos are plentiful, and seeing the same person comment on each one is such predictable trolling. I think there was an expectation for the game to be pure trash, but from the videos it appears to be an attractive score chaser with some beginner-friendly options and awesome music.
