Flying Red Barrel ~Diary of a Little Aviator~

I'm pretty sure I threatened that this would just pop up in the middle of an unrelated project one of these days. For any of you who aren't from around here, this Thursday is Thanksgiving in the US, and I'll be away from home for the latter part of the week to spend the holiday with my friends and family. That means I don't really have time to crank out another episode of Lethal Operation this week, so let's do something a little different. Flying Red Barrel has been on my to-do list almost as long as this channel has existed: it was originally intended as project #2, immediately following my very first run of Sora...y'know, six years ago. I held off on it because I couldn't manage a 1cc of normal mode, something I still can't do. It was only relatively recently that it occurred to me that I'm not really sure who I'm trying to impress. You guys know me too well for me to pretend I'm some kind of shmup god. So you know what? Let's just have some fun. FRB's a great little game that I've kept shelved for far too long. --- UPDATE 01/15/2019: The death of YouTube annotations has caused this run's commentary in its original form to be lost.
