Just want to know what this is all about, makes me feel lame as well, but then again, I haven't been into the arcade stuff for a long time.

Don't feel bad about not knowing what the heck people are talking about.  I had no idea until about a month or so ago when I saw a topic asking about the best controls for "shmups."  I was all sorts of confused, but google knows all.  :)

So it is just a site, and some people mistake it for a game?

"shmup" is a shortened form of "shoot 'em up", describing a genre of games.  Not a single particular game.

Ah ok, thanks.
