      Touhou!

      東方 Project

      Nutshell:
      Japanese dude who calls himself ZUN sits down and creates a ton of insane games.

      Touhou 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and soon 12 are Space Invaders on steroids.
      Touhou 1 is like watching some video with the title "My first animation"

      1-5 is so old you have to have an emulator to run them. I say don't bother.

      However, the rest are fucking awesome.
      Here's some Touhou 08 in action!

      (The first parts are sped up, because it's on Boss Replay mode.)

      There is also 3 other games, that are slightly different:

      Touhou 7.5 - Immaterial and Missing Power
      ZUN teamed up with some other dudes and made this:


      Everything about Immaterial and Missing Power
      There will be more on this farther down the thread.

      Touhou 9.5 - Shoot the Bullet
      Not that interesting, it's like all the other Touhou games, except you have a camera, and you have to get close to the boss and take a picture when your camera has charged.

      Touhou 10.5 - Scarlet Weather Rhapsody
      ZUN once again teams up with the other dudes and makes what is being called the sequel to IaMP.


      Characters!
      First of all, the number of Touhou characters is [insert infamous meme]

      Reimu
      She's the first character you meet, and she appears in almost all the Touhou games. Most of the time she is the main character, and the only playable character. That is untill Marisa is introduced as a playable character.

      Marisa
      She's a witch. And she is introduced as a playable character in Touhou 6, The Embodiment of Scarlet Devil.

      Story:
      Reimu lives at the Hakurei Shrine, in a weird town called Gensokyo (幻想郷, literally Land of Illusion or Land of Fantasy)
      The shrine gets attacked and Reimu sets off to defend. This happens a few times in the first few games, while new personalities keep landing in your face.

      More detailed version available on the Touhou Wiki >_>

      Music!
      Touhou has music, yeah. But out of that music came remixes.
      Chances are you have already heard Touhou music:

      Online Immaterial and Missing Power

      Go to http://iamp.mizuumi.net/index.php/Main_Page For a lot more info to play online.

      First of all, in order to play online, you MUST have the 1.11 patch installed and all characters unlocked. If you can't unlock the characters, or just don't want to earn them, download the score.dat ("Full Character Unlock") file from here.

      If you already have all that done, download CowCaster from that page aswell!

      Place all the files you get from that into your IaMP folder. (You may also have to put CowCaster.exe in the same folder as your th075.exe)
      1. Ask the person you want to fight to a match.
      2. Choose who will be host.
      3. Open your CowCaster
      4. Type in a name if it asks you.
      5. Now you get a list of options

      Step 6 and on differs, depending on what you want to do.

      For hosting:
      6. Choose 1: Wait for access. And wait until client joins.
      7. www.whatismyip.org to get your IP adress. Your opponent will need it to join you.

      For the client:
      6. Choose 2: Try access to specific Port.
      7. Type in the IP adress of your opponent.
      8. The game should open.

      For a spectator:
      6. Wait for the client to enter the host's game.
      7. Follow step 6-7 in "For the client"

      To find out if you can host:
      1. Open CowCaster
      2. Put in name if it asks.
      3. Choose option 8: Test myPort
      4. Put in your own IP
      5. BAD means you can't, and then you have to forward ports or some shit. Something to do with port 7500, and I know shit about that.
      ^ Taken from here, but I edited it quite a bit.

      If you should get it working and want to, I'll be up for it 8D I'm considered very new, since the game is old, that means only the very good players are left behind playing Online - Which in turn means I get my ass kicked.

      I could link to some sites to download the game, but I guess that could be considered warez, but I think with the Touhou games it's justified since the games are practically impossible to get in a legal way outside of Japan.
      But I won't give links :V

      My friend introduced me to the WIDE WIDE WORLD of Touhou. I've played Perfect Cherry Blossom, but haven't made it past the fourth level on normal. He's much better than I am, but I enjoy it from time to time. The problem, though, is if I play for a while and stop, when I close my eyes I see all these little things scrolling down the screen at me. Kind of annoying.

      He also hooked me up with Embodiment of the Scarlet Devil, Imperishable Night, and two or three others. He has another friend who is crazy good and uploaded videos on youtube with him going through PCB on Lunatic. Absolutely crazy!

      There's also Tohou music (look up Iosys for a good time: "Marissa Stole the Precious Thing" and "You Should Drink Cucumber Flavored Beer").

      ...a Touhou fan-made anime (totally fan-made! No professionals!). See Touhou Project.

      ...and so on and so forth. It's a big deal. There was a recent demo release for the newest game, and I guess there was a line 8 people wide and 2 miles long... for a demo.

      This computer's connection is only 54MB per second. I'm using a wireless connection to my router for this computer, so I'm guessing it should download faster on there.

      Then I can just email it to me or put it on my flashdrive and drag it into this computer.
