Previous Episode: Episode XII: Reviewing Shmups with Bullet Heaven

Next Episode: Episode XIV: The French Connection, Gekko of Shmup Em' All and the French Shmup Scene

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.

If you want to check out a more detailed explanation on my score keeping idea and the community's reaction to it, check out this thread: https://shmups.system11.org/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=63002
