White Canvas vs ZUN (not really)

Initial ZUN blogpost leading to shitstorm
White Canvas response
Full translation

<TempMobileName> ok lol just read that w canvas thing
<TempMobileName> so its contracts dispute
<TempMobileName> faito go go
<MaullarMaullar> poor draftsmanship
<MaullarMaullar> should've retained me
<mauve> heh what happened contractwise?
<TempMobileName> didnt catch all detail but basically white canvas saying it did everything in accordance with agreement with zun
<mauve> of course
<TempMobileName> this part is unrelated to tasofro
<TempMobileName> and didnt know tasofro had management corporation running it
<TempMobileName> i bet tasofro set it up to dodge liability
<TempMobileName> so apparently soon after zun/wcanvas agreement on touhou marketing
<TempMobileName> the company that deals with zun's ip rights changed
<TempMobileName> and things started to blow up from there
<mauve> interesting
<TempMobileName> the new company wanted new contracts with w canvas on stuff related to touhou marketing
<TempMobileName> and if im getting this right, the new contract had provisions different from one it made with zun before
<TempMobileName> that white canvas didnt like
<TempMobileName> dunno if it agreed to it anyway
<TempMobileName> lemme look
<TempMobileName> yeah white canvas didnt sign
<TempMobileName> and wcanvas is saying that if it didnt sign new contract, the old one with zun holds (which gives white canvas more rights i guess)
<TempMobileName> and the new touhou-marketing company is pissed
<TempMobileName> i guess thats the gist?
<TempMobileName> and white canvas is talking to zun's and that marketing company's rawyers
<TempMobileName> and suing is only against tasofro (= limited liability company SUNFISH)
<sibladeko> how is tasofro involved
<TempMobileName> tasofro claimed white canvas didnt pay tasofro whatever money owed
<TempMobileName> from selling rights or whatever
<TempMobileName> white canvas says it paid everything lols
<sibladeko> welp we'll see
<TempMobileName> and mad at zun for spreading unconfirmed shit to general public when he's technically a third party

High Seeker: Homing ability increased

Some notes:
Mods are more about addressing weaknesses then amplifying strengths in this game early on.
Mana Amp is always solid.
Rapid fire helps a lot on slower knockback weapons.
Same with quick reload on slow as hell rocket launchers.
Increased accuracy I find useless.
High capacity is generally solid, at low levels it won't increase a clip size of 1 above 1, but the higher levels it will, which can make it worth it on certain one shots.
I'm not really feeling high-explosive rounds.
I guess long barrel could be mildly useful on assault rifles, but I got a demon gungnir early, so...
Accelerated long barrel is a double mod so it's good
Early on vampirism is good, later difficulties it is useless.
Life Amp is ehhh.
Shield is ehhh as well.
Someone on JPBBS reports Last Draw 2 increases Demon Gungnirs last shot by about 3x. (12k)
Piercing is amazing. Even level 1 (pierce one enemy) is useful with the right weapon.
Burst is decent, sort of like a ghetto pierce. If you combine the two however you can have some real fun.
Limit remover is generally good because accuracy isn't that important.
High Seeker I've only seen on a single gun.

Shit you want to be looking for on Masters:
Demon gungnir (if you have piercing and burst fire the better), piercing and burst shotguns, DEBMAX, piercing and burst assault rifles, Master Spark, Leviathan?, Ragnarok, Nothingness gungnir

The more I think about it the more the fact it was just the intro really points to it just being the same sample being used.

Eretto Patchouli figurine

I'd probably buy it :V

Touhou in Ai Sp@ce

Seems like they've added a hilariously awkward looking shooting game to moe blob space.
Maybe people were getting bored of just being guys pretending to be girls doing nothing but looking pretty.

Out of the Blue

So I randomly had an epiphany at work today...the song "Out of the Blue" by Julian Casablancas describes why I play SWR/Hisoutensoku still.
Both verses even.
It was sort of morbidly sad and fascinating.

Touhou 12.5 announced

I will use...two spoilers.
Also Aya is an elf.

Caster

Random Wonderfest 2010 Stuff

I'm sinking deeper and deeper into the abyss.

Brocken Spectre

It's German.
Really.
Google it.

Cirno is ballin'

Hisoutensoku English patch is...

Coming Soon.

AWESOME CIRNO-ONLY COMBO

Because it had to be done.

TouhouVania Opening Movie

There's a lot of Touhou doujin games coming out in a week for Comiket 76, but this one from Aja Games (the poor souls that were given the responsibility of patching Big Bang Beat) has gathered some attention because it is a Castlevania clone.
Here's the trailer, I'll try to post a list for all the reported games coming out later.

PATCHOULIIIIIIII

Eretto (Tsuruya-san's creator) Patchouli figurine coming soon!
AHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh too cute.

Touhou 12.3

Standalone? SWR expansion.
Three new idiots.
Well Sanae isn't really an idiot, just sort of...new at the whole Youkai hunting thing.
The other two however...
Oh god I do not relish the inevitable flood of Cirno scrubs.
Honestly that is the only thing that would make return this game, crushing 9000 Cirno scrubs from 4chan or wherever.

Also gift has announced three more plushies in their Touhou line.
I thought since they did most of the SDM cast they'd move on to Perfect Cherry Blossom in order, but seems like I was wrong.
Eight is Sanae??? nine is Cirno (boo), tenth is Suwako.
They really are keeping their regulation of each pair only gets one character with a removable hat deal.
Also I just realized they purposely made Cirno number 9 on their release order.
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

Giant Raymoo

Hyuge.

BROFIST

Zun said fuck it.
