Well I've no current plans to code in Notepad... I guess I'll look for a program that simplifies all that. Dreamweaver is too confusing for me anyways.

Microsoft Visual Web Express? Ive used it. has a graphical programming interface (Designer Mode), area to enter code (HTML mode) and lots of other stuff.

I typically use Arachnophilia for HTML and CSS editing. It's free and easy to use, but I'd suggest having some knowledge of HTML and CSS when going in

Is it ok if i set up a name your favorite song thread, or do we already have one?
Question towards the senior members or higher.

[Nichi]

Neat, LeaflameSD! It's a very funny game, and I used to love many Bullfrog games. ^.^

@Bella: *hug*
I'm sure you'll get to see him again soon enough...and maybe if things fall into place, you'll get to see me again, except I'll be living closer by ^^

What the f$#* is Touhou? I can't find a consistant definition anywhere and it feels like I'm missing out on something.

[LeaflameSD]

Touhou is like nothing you've ever seen...

Got accepted to U of Pitt: Bradford today, feeling pretty good about that along with the $10K scholarship that I got bringing the total cost of going down to around $5k which is nice~

Still waiting to hear from John Carroll and Ohio U like I had noted in an earlier post, I also got mail from U of Southern Cali, Michigan, and Stanford trying to recruit me. Southern Cali is pretty mad because I decided not to apply but ended up sending a couple letters of recommendation and my SAT scores, I told them I wasn't interested since its way outside my price range for college. Same goes for Stanford and Michigan, Michigan really wanted me because of the whole Three-generations deal with my family but even with some aid it would cost around $45K to go and I don't plan on going into dead debt right as I go into college.

Probably going to end up at Bradford at this point because of the cost and my folks want me to stay in state, John Carroll and Ohio U are still top choices though. I still don't know whats in store for my future college at this point, I only know that when I graduate I'm taking a long ass trip to Europe to explore and party before coming back to study.

Congrats!

yeah, USC is damn expensive. I got a scholarship and a grant or two on top of that Jr/Sr year, but I have a crapton of loans to pay off now. Part of the reason I went to USC was because /I/ wanted to stay in the state. haha
Alas.

I kinda find it interesting that many of you guys are east of the mississippi. In most other online communities I take part in, the distribution is way lopsided favoring the west coast.

And another interesting thing I noticed, my uncle took me to the Iberian Peninsula+Morocco right after I graduated. :3 Not quite party-time since it's with family, but that Spanish World Cup win certainly pushed it in that direction in the streets outside my hotel window.

What the f$#* is Touhou? I can't find a consistant definition anywhere and it feels like I'm missing out on something.

haha, part of the reason why you don't find a constant definition is because Touhou is pretty much defined by fanon.

Long story short, Touhou is originally a series of bullet hell vertical shooter games, created all by one person, named ZUN.

Long story:
The music in these games have spawned a crapton of cover/arrangement albums in as many genres imaginable, from metal to pop to dance to irish folk music. I'm sure you've seen many videos with these. For most, this is what first got people into Touhou.

Additionally, the very sparse storyline in canon have spawned numerous doujinshi and other doujin materials. Filling in details and fleshing out many personalities. The canon story is also often loosely based off of Japanese mythology, giving doujin writers a little more to work off of.

Feel free to ask more questions. It's certainly difficult to get into going off official materials only. You kinda /have/ to immerse yourself in the fanon stuff to really get a good idea of what Touhou is.

The first 5 games were released on the doujinshi-heavy NEC PC98, and the sixth game 'Embodiment of Scarlet Devil' was released on Windows, IMO being the most popular game in the series. All the newer games have been released on Windows too. If you wanna import it from Japan, or download it from a T0wwent website, then go ahead.

FUN FACT: Not a easy game...
