PPR Games Club: Ikaruga

We wanted to announce that upon our return and the insane prediction that Serraxor made with Ikaruga being the final game of the PAX East 2011 Omegathon, we chose it to be our next Games Club! To commemorate our most recent Games Club with Ikaruga, we have decided to present you guys with a pretty rad contest. The rules are simple: each of us from Press Pause Radio who took part in the Games Club will take a picture of our top score for stage 1 of Ikaruga. We'll post the pictures via the Forum thread for our website forum. Where do you come in? The first one of you to take a picture of your own score that beats all of our scores (individual scores, not a totaled amount) will win the contest, well, what the fuck is exactly that you win? Glad you asked.
