Tohou 12.5

I'm a big fan of the Tohou games. Been playing Tohou 12.5, despite the fact that once I get past level 4 I'm out of my league. By level 7 I can only beat 1 pattern.

It doesn't help my new monitor (1600x900 LG lcd screen) is entirely unsuited to displaying it. I have to run it at the smallest resolution (640x480) to get any quality picture. I can't even double the pixels because thats slightly too large in the vertical. Fullscreen (my preferred display type) is right out, it would be stretched to the widescreen format. Zun apparently does not program for Vista either. Which is something I knew I would have to deal with when upgrading.

Still, a fun game.

New Start

So I've been thinking about removing the content on this blog and restarting things. I did this mostly after reading Icycalm's A Gamer's Guide To The Internet. Everything in this blog before was an embarrassment anyways.

The new purpose of this blog is to be an online diary, since thats what they are designed for and good for.

I also cleaned up my links list, removing most of it. Project Perko stays because of his discussions on running unconventional RPG's, and talking about the narratives of CRPGs. Even though he rarely posts anymore. Rock Paper Shotgun stays for its value as a news source for computer games. I need to find some better sources for news. Sirlin's site stays because I am interested in what his card game projects may become. Insomnia stays because it is the most important gaming publication ever.

Also I changed the template layout.
