Also, the Touhou LP died/fell into archives. Alas, the mediocrity of TD managed to kill even that. It had a good run.

RIP Touhou LP

Also RIP Clarste's editor. There's a new Wild and Horned Hermit and three Forbidden Scrollery chapters out by now and nobody else can be arsed to translate them. Can't even trust random weeaboos on the net to prepare your entertainment for you, for free anymore.

His stage design is really bad compared to his bosses. The bosses all have pretty fancy attacks and gimmicks and make you think how to dodge even starting with stage 1, but most of his stage enemies seem to consist of "high speed weaklings that appear suddenly and all fire streamable bullets". They're still nice games and have interesting mechanics though, but he really needs to work on the levels for the third game.
His original music is still pretty fine though.

Yeah I guess I should have put a disclaimer on that that his stage design is nothing spectacular. He does do some neat things with enemy patterns every so often, but it's pretty clear that he puts most of his effort into the bosses (which I don't necessarily disagree with). Some of his spellcards really are fantastic though. Just never try to beat EMS's Absurdly Extra stage, because it's pretty absurd :v:.

I could hypothetically do this with some assistance, but then I remember my various attempts and failures to work up the effort to LP Genius of Sappheiros, and it just seems like trying to LP an inferior game would be a lost cause.

http://www.sporcle.com/games/ThndrMge/touhou-character-boss-themes I got linked to this name that Touhou tune quiz. I got 26/52 because I only really played SA and IN (and a bit of the demo for UFO). I spent half the time trying to remember Yuugi's name but couldn't do it at all.

I got 100% (not that I'd settle for anything less), but I only got Chen by the process of elimination. I was seriously convinced that was Letty's theme, and that the test had gotten it wrong, until I got to Letty's actual theme. I guess PCB blends together in my head.

After I saw the answers I went back over it, and it's definitly :psyduck: at how I could miss some of these themes, but it's much harder when the character's name isn't fresh in your mind.

Yeah it says it accepts nicknames.

100%. :toot: Only ones that tripped me up were Wriggle (I just drew a complete blank for a bit), Kanako (too used to more slow paced arranges), and Rin (I remember Lullaby of a Deserted Hell waaaaay more). Too bad it didn't have anything from DDC, I haven't completely memorized those yet because a House Set hasn't come out.

that's wicked
Dang I got 100%. Neeeeeeeeeerd! For the record I got 40-some right before I had to replay the songs.
The themes I did not recognize were from the fighting games (which I don't play because I'm terrible at them) and PoFV so I guessed. Looking at the results, only half of those who took the quiz recognized Iku's theme and is the least recognizable theme.

I laughed at them using only the beginning swell for Reimu's theme.

It's weird how that little quiz puts into perspective that ZUN wrote a lot of music for his games.

Is there a PC-98 one? Mystic Square's soundtrack is pretty badass.
And I would like to see a post-UFO version as well. I'd totally fail anything from TD because the music is kinda weird in that one. Besides Desire Drive and Seiga's theme, I can never recognize any themes from TD even though I love the game.

I think the generally accepted interpretation is that Tewi is using Cirno as a "mind shield" so that when Satori tries to read Tewi's mind, she reads Cirno's instead.

Par for the course, really.

Also, Eiki is apparently declaring the game "white", as in, all this cheating balances out.
