[] General Touhou Discussion thread

OK

I have to admit: I've become a very large Touhou fan ...last week, why lie!

I guess, it all began last year after the release of that particular IOSYS flash movie. I've never heard of Touhou or anything else about it before... and even after watching the movie a whole bunch of times and listening to other IOSYS tracks... Touhou itself was not to be found.

But then ..in the last few months.. I finally gained consciousness for the infamous Touhou games - and got myself some demo versions!

I was < astonished > and came to one reasonable conclusion:
( ‽ - awesome conclusion... )

I'm still impressed of the huge amount of art and doujins this game spawns!

[...]

And.. what else?

Well...
That's it for the time being..
I need a break... I can't even write a single adequate posting in... 9 hours?!
My soul needs to rest..... just a bit.. please


Jam it back in, in the dark.

Yesterday .. Imperishable Night finally appeared - that makes the order from a few weeks ago complete -



<3

Reimu-Mat is going to be my new avatar - that's for sure!

Now I'm off.. playing some Imperishable Night -
I should stop dying at Stage 4 ...

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Ha - that's the word I was looking for the whole time ! And yeah - they really scratch easily - but I won't let that happen.. somehow!

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Same here - that's the only way I can avoid the scratching problem

But I still die on Stage 4

How ya doing, buddy?

On Normal - Stage 5 - Death - without continue

Aarrrrr Patchouli!

After a continue.. it seems that I can't get back to my 'normal' state of mind - It's like .. I wouldn't care what's going to happen afterwards..and I just stop playing seriously.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Well..

Patchouli takes all my lifes in Stage 4 and Sakuya gives me the rest in Stage 5 afterwards!

That's the message I was aiming for -

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

And.. I still can't stop playing IN ... too bad that Cirno doesn't appear in it - but Eirin makes all up for it, I guess.

My question for today...

Well.. In IN, there are the typical Power and Points and these Time Orbs;
But what are those blue and transparent orbs? What's the meaning behind them?

FELIPE NO

Awesome Touhou Parody...

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

I revive thread!

After a 6 week recess, I played Touhou again to practice some spellcards and recognized that I had a Last Word spell to capture .. and captured it! Flawless Victory!



Jam it back in, in the dark.

I made up 2 .. no.. 3 strategies and 2 replays - since I captured it a 2nd time now =D - Do you need ADVICE?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Wow. It nearly seems that you're using every free minute you have to play touhou

Damn - I really need some kind of time planning here - I always ruin the day by doing nothing or listening to music the whole day.

@cloud: First of all, what kind of strategy do you use for the Wriggle Last Word? Maybe you just lack practice - like I do

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I should play Touhou at least! But I end up looking at the empty desktop or Gamingforce every single day - I really need to practice on my guitar playing .. or - like I just said - practice Touhou!

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Well - the only way to skip is to use ALT+F4

You can fast forward only by pressing Ctrl.

Damn, that was a bad round.. a really bad one.. That's what I'll get after a month of not playing PCB. Maybe it's just a bad day - the 7th one in a row - cannot even play guitar properly - My hands feel like they're gum!

I'm useless. (I even knew the solution beforehand but wasn't sure ... for whatever reason)

Most amazing jew boots

Who the hell is... Sarno?

Back to the Wriggle LastWord:
I'm attaching both replays here =D for reference - It's actually not that hard and there is even a chance of surviving if you just stay at one place without moving for the whole time

The first replay is the hard way of capturing the card - Moving left/right/up/down all the time with a constant movement to the left and one or two "correcting moves" to the right.

It was the first way I tried it...and it took me 215 tries

The second replay - no.15 - is an easier way. By just moving up and down, you won't have to mind the blue and red butterflies.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Cloudkiller: Did my replay help?

TH11:
Is it just me...or... why don't I like it.

The whole Touhou feeling vanished with PoFV I guess. Everything's so muddy fast and in a way.. very strange... Ah, well - At least I've got my PCB.

FELIPE NO
