Topicless thread

Fun fact: I had a Touhou cover song on my iPod before I even knew what Touhou was :3

[SleepyD]

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...

no it isn't easy. (Unless you're used to bullet hell shooters) I'm a casual Touhou gamer AT BEST.

And as a third option: You can come to Los Angeles, visit the Kinokuniya Bookstore, and find Touhou games and doujin games at a table inside. :3

Fun fact: I had a Touhou cover song on my iPod before I even knew what Touhou was :3

Haha like I said, most people are introduced to Touhou from the countless music arrangements out there. :3
Have you seen the lossless music torrent? The thing is 1.2 TB worth of Touhou music.

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.

Okay got any good links? Besides the one that got filtered out by the page and my browser.

[SleepyD]

haha, that link was my old Touhou thread in General Computers and Gaming. Feel free to take this conversation there if you like.

Well, I don't have any doujinshi links handy, and I'd have to think about that a bit anyway (I'll have that for you tonight, if I remember ^^; ). Some of the doujinshi out there might require some prior knowledge in order to really appreciate it, so I need to find more stand-alone examples (of which there are many).

Having said that, I can give you youtube links to videos and music. Keep in mind that ALL of these are doujin products created by fans.

Music:
(let's see if I can get a good variety here...)

And lastly, a touhou anime (made by the people that made that second to last vid I linked):
Again, 100% doujin product, from the music, animation, voices all.

i have some touhou doujin i bought at a store in chinatown. can't read em' given that they're in mandarin or cantonese or whatever the hell dialect is in hong kong, but still pretty. they're called "Just Give Me One More Coin" by Circle Freeze or something like that.

i could never get into the games, but i have some touhou music. tbh it's mostly the Senya stuff from the anime and such, but it's still pretty, pretty stuff. Check out Opposite World and Iro wa Nioedo Chirinuru wo, both by Senya. her Bad Apple version is good, too. ^^

@sleepy: everyone seems to be flocking to the northeast. if you're ever looking for a change of scenery, have a look around our many spectacular lakes and lovely mountain views. perhaps take a nice big breath of the forest air? or relax under our blanket of stars at night. :3 [/tourismboard]

I've just installed the game, and probably will start playing it tomorrow.

YER GERNNA LERVE ERT

So, I splurged and bought the Magic Knight Rayearth game for Saturn. Given how the US version had 3 alternate disc labels (One for each of the 3 main characters), I'm hoping I understood the description and will be receiving the disc with Fuu on it :3
(Fun fact: That was one of the first Saturn games I wanted when I first started reading about the system ages ago. For the record, the other is Sonic Jam; a compilation of classic Sonic games)

The desert night sky is a sight to behold as well. (Like holy crap, I can see the Milky Way!)
Someday I'll visit. :3 Most of my trips around the US were for family, and since I have no family up there, I'm going to have to budget for a trip myself someday.

Also, I found your guy:

YAY~

[Chocofreak13]

that big yay reminded me of my friend dan. :3

thanks for the link, but that still doesn't mean i can read the doujin! xD

(also, if you want to see some sky, i should drag all of you to stanley. -w- nothing like being in the middle of nowhere in canada (and i mean NOWHERE) to really let you see something great.)

@pent: kickass on the game. i hope you get it too, but even if you don't it's still something kickass to have. :3

It's 8:30 AM where I am but 2:30 PM on the blog.

I just thought that was cool.

[Chocofreak13]

well dude, FreezeEX is based out of Hong Kong. :\

[SleepyD]

Time Zones man. haha
Seems to visit US events often enough though. Just went to Anime Boston it seems. Another comment mentions meeting him at Comic-Con. And being a HongKong-er, he has a decent command of English. (yay imperialism)

[Nichi]

Cool :3

So, the pine needles on the tree outside are frozen; like, encased in ice. I always thought that looked cool *w*
