Mimachiro:
What's the wildest party you've ever been to?

Ever tried wearing Tengu geta?

When 12/12/12 comes, are you going to pull up a lawn chair with me and watch everyone panic like a bunch of babies over nothing?
MatsuriSakuragi:
What do you like the most about the Touhou fandom? What do you dislike the most?

What are your views on the field of psychology? How about psychiatry?

Have you introduced your daughter to Touhou?

A friend of mine once put together a party that involved [NSFW follows] Spoiler: a pretty sizeable collection of hallucinogens. We were all single, guys and girls, and although few people took part in the hallucinogens, just about everyone took part in the group sex. It went on for about 40 hours, and was a helluva lotta fun, but would probably give me a heart attack if I rolled into a party like that these days.

No, but it's on my list of footwear from around the world to try. Would also enjoy hobnail boots.

With pleasure. It'll be like Y2K all over again!

I love seeing kids get all giddy and excited about this series. For real, this is why browsing TARC puts a smile on my face. I also love how, thanks to ZUN's rather lax policy on fanworks, there has been a plethora of creative works, from art to music to writing to other games. That the fans show their devotion through creativity is really heartwarming.

What I dislike most is the sense of entitlement that a few fans can show. Stuff like "this next game BETTER be a regular shooter/have Mima/use a scoring system I approve of" or whatever. Sorry, fellas - ZUN is one man, and he makes doujin games. That means he makes them the way he wants them. Considering pretty much none of these people bitching are even paying for the game makes the sense of ZUN owing them something all the more baffling.

Psychology and psychiatry are complimentary, I think. Psychiatry seems to be the attempt to prove that mind science is "hard" science, like math or physics or chemistry. To me, science is science - there is no hard or soft science. Psychology I like because it's more flexible, more willing to branch into new areas and try new things. Psychiatry tests these ideas, thankfully, and has given humanity some amazing breakthroughs in how we understand ourselves, our societies, and how to treat our mental illnesses. If psychology is the trailblazer, psychiatry is the diligent road workers who straightens and evens the path behind the pioneer.

My daughter gets bored silly watching me play, but she loves the fan videos. Especially Marisa Stole the Precious Thing; she can do the "hi ku mi" part pretty well!
Romantique Tp:
ZUN's original compositions. What do you think of them ?
Hello Purvis:
How much internet wackiness have you exposed Ammy Jr. to? Related to that, have you had a Leekspin/Nyancat endurance match?
