Shop G'AIM'E to get your copy! » http://genxgrownup.com/gaime A couple days ago I posted my review for the G'AIM'E Time Crisis Plug-n-Play, and got quite a few questions about my shooting accuracy during gameplay. Firstly, I'm not great at gun games, but more importantly, my attention was split pretty severely between playing the game and trying to stay in frame to record the play session in some meaningful way. I found myself getting too close to the TV several times - the gun needs to always be able to see the whole TV in order to triangulate position and I wasn't doing it any favors. I could have cherry-picked my footage and only shown segments where I was picking off targets more easily (mostly later in my play session), but knew that would be dishonest, so you got the footage I shot - warts & all. That being said, I wanted to prove to myself most of all (I guess to those questioning my honesty as well) how accurate this lightgun is when eliminating all of those "shooting a video" variables that I felt contributed to my poor shooting. #retrogaming #lightgun #genxgrownup @my_gaime - SHOP Get Your G'AIM'E On! » http://genxgrownup.com/gaime http://genxgrownup.com/amazon http://GenXGrownUp.com/merch - PODCAST http://GenXGrownUp.com/pod - SUPPORT US https://patreon.com/genxgrownup - WEB & SOCIAL http://GenXGrownUp.com/discord https://twitch.tv/genxgrownup http://fb.me/GenXGrownUp https://bsky.app/profile/genxgrownup.com https://www.tiktok.com/@genxgrownup https://www.instagram.com/genxgrownup/ http://GenXGrownUp.com
