Title: Random situations that give you the urge to play Touhou.
Post by: Nobu on December 06, 2009, 12:08:18 PM: Well? This may not be too weird, but randomly stumbling on the song Captain Murasa gave me the incredible urge to play her stage before bed.

Or sometimes I'll randomly get the urge to play PCB when it starts lightly snowing outside, that sort of thing.

Anyone have any particularly weird situations that make you want to play some Touhou?

Post by: Tempest on December 06, 2009, 12:28:49 PM: Same here, hearing the original ZUNmusic once made me want to randomly play PCB, first time in four or five months. That's how I 1CC'd it. Like that. Second or third go, and there is gone Yuyuko.

Post by: Solais on December 06, 2009, 12:32:47 PM: In early fall, I think at the end of September, I went hiking to the mountains with my family. The autumn forest, the little river, the forest road, all reminded me of MoF (mostly Stage 3). When I got home I really had to play the game again.

Post by: Doomsday on December 06, 2009, 01:03:52 PM: At around Spring - Summer time, a tree just outside my house usually sprouts pink blossoms. I Usually end up playing through PCB afterwards

Post by: Formless God on December 06, 2009, 01:21:01 PM: After listening to a character's theme several times I usually go straight to practice her stage.

Or when I simply want to tap buttons to the music's rhythm.

In the case of BGMs, when I play Touhou
especially Mountain of Faith
, it makes me want to listen to it outside the game :V

Post by: Bias Bus on December 06, 2009, 04:57:53 PM: When folks talk about 1cc stuff. It usually gets me saying "Hey maybe I should try that too." But I usually let it fall to the wayside and I forget.

I haven't touched a TH game in so long...

Post by: Cadmas on December 07, 2009, 04:54:15 AM: While working on my school project I had to pick music to put in it.

I ended up playing UFO after wards and gave up after dying to Shou's Green spinning lazor thing on easy.
I still suck at Touhou.

Post by: Benny1 on December 07, 2009, 01:36:08 PM: Listening to Deep Mountain.

This requires a little bit of explanation though~

Deep Mountain is a wonderful, wonderful song that means a large amount to me because it is the first Touhou song I heard. Back when I had no idea what the hell Perfect Cherry Blossom was and my friend showed me it. Everything is in Japanese so I have no idea what the hell this game even is, and really have no idea what's going on. And Deep Mountain starts playing and it is legendary. The song is fast paced, beautiful, and sets the mood for the stage perfectly.

Every once in a while when I play PCB, I can remember this feeling and it is wonderful <3.

Title: Re: Random situations that give you the urge to play Touhou.
Post by: Rabbit on December 07, 2009, 05:34:39 PM: I tend to reflect a lot on what I've done during the day. Occasionally I will reflect that I haven't played Touhou in awhile. Usually out loud. And I need a break from Super Robot Wars. Yeah.

Post by: Just a GBZero on December 08, 2009, 07:14:00 AM: There was a garage that had falling snowflakes projected onto it I saw, and reminded me of one of the music rooms, and made me want to play touhou. As simple as that

Post by: Seian Verian on December 08, 2009, 08:52:32 AM: Listening to Locked Girl sometimes makes me wanna fight Patchy. That's all I can think of though really.
Title: Re: Random situations that give you the urge to play Touhou.
Post by: Zengar Zombolt on December 09, 2009, 04:06:20 PM: It's... quite random. It relates to slowness in the day and heat (Which is detrimental to Touhou in my case, mind you),

Post by: Nyyl on December 10, 2009, 01:30:03 AM: Whenever it snows I get the irresistible urge to play PCB
And I'll want to play Imperishable Night at random times

Post by: Maiden Synnae ミ☆ on December 11, 2009, 12:12:11 AM: Well, depends on the wheather really, and on my psychological conditions... Sometimes listening to a nice boss theme remix helps it.

Post by: ふねん1 on January 06, 2010, 03:16:55 PM: So I'm walking up Centre St. in Manhattan on my way to jury duty, and I pass by the "Avenue of the Strongest".

You figure out the rest.

Post by: Tanongi on January 11, 2010, 10:29:02 PM: Every time I try to start up a R&B game called Osu! the title song has to be something from Touhou. :V I cant last a few songs before quiting so I can dodge some boolets.

Post by: Kuma on January 12, 2010, 01:20:14 AM: When I hear Miku Hatsune's "Hello, Planet" I really want to play PatchCon, wich is weird, because I don't even HAVE PatchuCon!
Title: Re: Random situations that give you the urge to play Touhou.
Post by: COPIRIGHTO on January 12, 2010, 01:22:49 AM: Not playing Touhou makes me want to play Touhou, and playing Touhou makes me keep playing until I rage quit which makes me come back and play more.
Title: Re: Random situations that give you the urge to play Touhou.
Post by: CK Crash on January 12, 2010, 01:29:15 AM: I don't quite get the urge to play Touhou as much as I get the urge to make Touhou (danmakufu), mostly from listening to music. For instance, Dreamy Pilot (LLS unused) is giving me ideas for a PC-98 styled Touhou fangame (which I must ignore because I'm already working on like 3 things right now on top of real life stuff).

Post by: ふねん1 on January 20, 2010, 02:02:56 AM: I had my first lecture for the course "Monsters, Robots, and Cyborgs", and the professor mentioned several times how traditional monsters were associated with boundaries, either by guarding them (i.e. the boundary between the worlds of life and death) or deliberately crossing them (i.e. no respect for social rules).

All this talk of boundaries makes me want to unlock Phantasm even more than I already did. Provided I can get the game to work again.

Post by: Kuma on January 20, 2010, 02:21:58 AM: I was reading Chen's day out, and all of a sudden I wanted to play chen's stage in PCB as Marisa, so I did.

I feel bad for shooting her down :C

Post by: Revolver Koala on January 23, 2010, 02:58:15 AM: Alcohol usually makes me really want to play Touhou. I'm not even kidding. Listening to Touhou music usually just inspires me to look at fanart, for whatever reason...

Hell yeah son.

And actually, regarding the topic, I'm listening to the Offspring and it's kind of making me want to play Touhou

I'm not really sure how that works, maybe it's one of those weird one-time occurrences
Title: Re: Random situations that give you the urge to play Touhou.
Post by: Athon on January 23, 2010, 11:24:48 AM: Usually talking with other people.

But nowadays I've been getting the urge after listening to anything that remotely remember me of Touhou. Getting quite addicted :V

yeah... I got that going to bed a few times, and I kept imagining reimu in the middle and trying to dodge all the "danmaku" .... lol

Snow -> PCB time!
Foggy outside -> Let's play EOSD!
Full moon tonight -> So how about some IN?
I thought I saw a UFO -> I'm gonna go play UFO.

etc

Post by: Esifex on January 27, 2010, 01:17:09 AM: Since I haven't actually played FF8 since getting heavily into Touhou, haven't had it happen properly...

but listening to the SWR version of Locked Girl makes me wanna play Final Fantasy 8, specifically with Rinoa in my party. I reckon if I ever get around to playing FF8 again, I'll end up wanting to play some SWR when I get Rinoa.
