When Touhou meets Golgo 13: Cirno 9 – a tale of boredom …
Oct 12th
After playing one too many rounds of the 1999 arcade game Golgo 13, the idea was simply irresistable to me, especially since I was looking for a quick and easy game idea to code into existence.
(Download Cirno 9 – The Strongest – Vista-compatible version here)
As usual, said idea was neither quick nor easy but it was still amusing to think about.
Basically, it’s what you get when you crossover random Touhou fandom memes, and a precision-based sniper game. (sans lightgun, unfortunately)
It’s just a one-level demo at this point, and by the time I got to programming the level, my head hurt so it’s kind of simplistic, but I thought it would be interesting to see the reaction to something random like this.
Also, thanks to KirbyM of Walfas for all the art I stole off his create.swf, but no thanks for him for not having any way to put overly bushy eyebrows on Cirno. It’s just not Golgo without the eyebrows.

Finishing Fanime: some more random stories and discussions
May 30th
A comparatively peaceful and relaxing weekend…
Just some random notes on Fanime 2008. Inside, a look over on some of the cosplays (although, no pictures yet), the dealer’s room, my elitist side at Fanime, some random games, and the video rooms.
I wonder if writing a blunt, short, dull preview while mentally dead will help drive more people to read the actual article. It’s an experiment. Or something.
Man, I miss KimiKiss at times like this … although my rewatch of it has stalled out.

Melty Blood Act Cadenza Sequel Confirmed!
Oct 27th
For a while it was up in the air between the previous news (broken in the preview for the Novemeber issue of Japanese magazine Tougeki Damashii) of a possible sequel to the hit 2D fighter and the consequent removal of the title from the preview page, but now it’s confirmed:
Hot meido-on-unlucky-osananajimi action is back, baby.
Melty Blood Act Cadenza 2 in the works?
Oct 6th
That’s right. Not version B2 (the PC version of Act Cadenza), but supposedly a full-fledged sequel.
According to the preview of Tougeki Damashii’s (a Japanese magazine devoted to fighting games) October 31 issue, there’s going to be some news on this mysterious sequel-sounding game in just a few weeks.
Commence hyperventilating until then.
If you’re not familiar with Melty Blood, it’s a 2D fighter based on the Tsukihime universe. So if you like Tsukihime, Melty Blood is high amount of win, and if you don’t, it’s still a pretty solid, relatively easy-to-pick-up 2D fighter (only 3 attack buttons and one shield, attack input is simple, most complex attack is a half-circle forward).
Look forward to more news come Halloween.

ONE ~Kagayaku Kisetsu e~ English Patch Released!
Sep 15th
Welcome your new Key (Tactics) visual novel overlords. Do it.
So yeah, the English patch for one of first (big?) visual novels released by the famous producers of AIR and Kanon was released earlier this month here.
ONE has always been one of those blank spots in many Key fans’ histories mainly because there was no anime or major translation previously produced for it outside of what I’ve been told is a very shoddy OVA (one hentai, one non-hentai) produced a few years ago. Now it’s time to figure out all those strange characters that you may only be acquainted with through doujin games like Eternal Fighter Zero (another excellent 2D fighter featuring Key characters).
So, uh, yeah, get to it if that’s your thing. Eternal gratitude to the producers of the patch, and looking forward to a good read.
