Uh... no. But R-Type is still a decent difficulty.

Ok... that is ridiculous. I am (or at least was) pretty good at shooters, but I wouldn't even try that.

The sub-genre is called "Bullet Hell" or "Curtain Fire". Can't imagine why. It is pretty silly, but what's worse is that there are players who can beat that.
[/ QUOTE ]
The Bullet Hell games are all about avoid enemy fire really. They're just puzzle games really, each enemy has it's own pattern, so you'll win eventually if you remember the pattern.

R-Type since 1987 looks like it has been going for about 22 years, so far.
R Type This one has been around for about 58 Years
Last time I ever played Star Fleet Command (Table Top)
Opponent purchased 2 destroyers, 2 tugs and I think it was 5 cargo containers for each tug, set up the ships to look like a military escort.
Well it was.
The cargo containers were loaded with Marines, and teleporters and life support. and some shielding to resist scanning.
Never thought of shooting the heavily escorted cargo just get in there and disable/tractor the tugs so you could haul the loot away.
He concentrated fire on the closest ships, on shields facing the containers.
My shields down his turn Teleport massive quantities of boarding parties, that is kind of a distraction to my crew, which can't interact in the space combat.
He wanted to play about a years later and said the teleport rules had been changed since our last game.

It means they want programmers with racing stripes. Preferably red racing stripes because as we all know, red = GO FASTAH
Alternately, perhaps they want RATED ARRRR SUPERSTARRRR programmers in order to increase the awesomeness levels in the office.
[/ QUOTE ]No, the most effective go-faster stripes are blue on a white background.

See, Positron DOES pay attention to things. Granted, in this case, it was very much a "what the hell did he just say?!" thing, but he does pay attention. And he even took notes!
Which means Posi was either a total geek in high school/college, or he learned way early on that smart gamers always write down weird stuff the GM says so you can call him/her out on it later.

Reminds me of something that happened at one of my programmer meetings before. We were demoing some functionality of our website to the owners when a strange error page popped up. It had notes on it that were typed very hastily by a programmer that read.
"You have two choice". Then it proceeded to give you the reason you were getting the error and the other reason isn't something I can type in an open public forum if you know what i mean."
Needless to say the meeting was over and everyone laughed themselves to death over that. This was a live page that had been up a few months so some people probably had seen the error before hehe..

Since you seem to interested in using the term "Type R" let me ask a very simple and to the point question. Do you think solo heroes should ever be "Type R" otherwise called "High Powered"?
Standing against overwhelming odds and laughing in the face of danger. Many comic book heroes are "Type R" and I'm sure many players had that concept in mind when creating one here.
... Yes, but to be Type R, you need stickers, a wing, and an oversized exhaust. How many programmers do you know like that?

We're sitting in a meeting and our Development Director said "We've contracted some Type R programmers".
I had never heard this term before, so I jotted it down on my notepad, so I could inquire about it later.
Just then our Lead Engineer asks "What is Type R?"
Our Dev Director looked stumped. "What do you mean?"
"You said 'Type R Programmers'" said the Lead Engineer.
"No, I said 'High Powered'." said the Dev Director.
"No you didn't. You said 'Type R.' See I wrote it down." I said, and showed him my notepad that said "Type R?".
So now, everything high powered and awesome in the office is "Type R".
I am now on a crusade to get it used outside our offices. I should add it to urban dictionary or something.
