In the sense that ZUN did not come up with it all on his own and received help from another party, Yukari, then yes, I do think that.

This seems more like its own thread.

I know what program you're talking about. I ripped the music off all the games a while back. It was a real pain in the ass.

Check out http://www.nyaa.eu/?page=search&cats=0_0&filter=0&term=touhou+music

Someone there should have ripped and uploaded it, so it should not be hard to find.

As for your controller issue, I've tried using PS3 controllers but my computer does not recognize them. It worked with my arcade stick though, so if you play a lot of fighters and have bought a stick be it hori or madcatz, it should work on most PC's.

About time the best Touhou made an appearance.

This torrent has, amongst a enormous number of remixes, all of the game's soundtracks. It is devided in an archive of its own so you can download only the soundtracks even if you dont want the rest of the remixes.

Maaaaan, did stage 1 and 2 perfectly with only final card fails and stage 3 hit hard and i died before Reimu on 4.
Damn hand cramps.
Not gonna use continues on these practice ones.

I'll try checking those out, though I'd prefer that ripping program if either of you know where to get it and how to use it.

I really like it. The bitchiness really comes through and I like to imagine the talk is part of a psychological mind game and that the whole danmaku thing is a high ritualised form of duelling for women in Gensokyo.

>"Looks more to me like 'Man uses the decimal system.'" ? The hell is that supposed to mean?
That's sort of a Kanji-wordplay in the original (十進法 vs 十字架), doesn't translate too well into English, obviously.

Some of the lines are pretty cool and witty, but somehow I fail to get the meaning behind most of the dialog and the story behind it all. No matter what language I play it in, 90% of the time I sit there reading and thinking "what the fuck are they even talking about?"

Yeah I need to reread everything at the wiki to even begin to understand what they're saying.

I've always been amazed at the PoFV endings though. The art is great (made by Alphes, not ZUN, I know) and they read really well (good translation, maybe?), show what the canon personalities are supposed to be like, have a sort of dreamy feeling, and are acoompanied by a great song, among other things.
I absolutely love the PoFV endings, too bad none of the regular endings leave me feeling like that.

I absolutely love the Prismrivers dialogues. They're just awesome.

I'd sink my ⑨ ball into her corner pocket if you know what I mean.

>I would inevitably be forced to take my shirt off, and socks, in a COLD house, and still have it dripping down my front.
When did that start, personally I never had that to noticable degrees yet.

Also, any tips what to look out for regarding the body temperature regulation business you are willing to share?

Think, when does your heart-rate raise considerably? When you are under immediate stress. Think when your mom was about to open the door while you were mastrubating. Emotions can induce the same thing. For me, it was more intense when I was working on a new game at the MOST difficult I could possibly handle, and endurance spell cards. To keep that high-stress level constant for minutes will raise your body temp enough to notice. You have to challenge yourself to the point of constant dodging. You can't do that on normal mode most of the time. Once you start to do that, study your nerves, your muscle tension in various places, and your psychology (aka: what is making me care so much? Why am I worked up?). Then, finally you find a way to fantasize that task or challenge that will create the stress in your head. To those particular buddhists, it's some difficult-to-recite mantra.

ah, makes perfect sense. now that I think back, StB/DS kinda did that to me too.

All the 15-17 year old human girls.

A lot of them, though Remilia takes priority.

I think I would level up 50 times just from spending my time in such a way.

I just started playing this yesterday a bit, takes a bit of getting used to it seems, I found the controls and what not a big strange at first, and had a hard time just finding the enemy that kept shooting at me and flying off, I failed hard needless to say, by the time I figured out how to maneuver half way properly and target, the match was over.

anyways, for people interested, you can grab it here.

It would be cool if their was a translation patch, if only for the interface.

No.

HERE'S TO A GREAT 2011!

Fanon is great, to an extent: the problems come in when you get fanon based on fanon based on fanon etc. For example, Alice was originally cold and antisocial, and fans used that to turn her into a tsundere. A bit far from her original personality, but still okay. However, then some fans emphasized the dere part until she eventually turned into a moeblob. New fans often think canon Alice acts like her depiction in Marisa Stole the Precious Thing, when that's almost the opposite. The same can be said for altering the character designs: there have undoubtedly been times when a character was drawn so differently from the official designs that you would never know who it was if the artist didn't say.

On a more personal level for me, I accept that Tenshi could be a masochist, but it's annoying how she's been reduced to a drooling slut whose sole purpose in life is to get people to beat her up.

Pad was NEVER funny.
Ran and Yuyuko are practically retarded.
Shiki is a midget.
I'm upset.

To reference IOSYS for a second time, I would like to draw attention to their interpretation of Shikieiki, which they made out to be a vengeful bitch, rather than the caring girl she is shown to be in PoFV. The character took a complete 180, and has been used as reference for many fanworks, which ultimately ruined the enjoyment of fan work containing Shikieiki for me.

Adding another 10GB of Touhou music to my library.

I stopped caring about it when its quality dropped dramatically.

Didn't it already come out? Or was that just a demo? Because I have it on my computer but i've only played up till the 2nd stage before getting bored.
