Touhou General Thread

  Actually, i am too. .-.
  
  Okay. I don't like downloading things - I prefer to pay for them. However, i've got ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA where to start looking for things.

  I took a look around on the Gatling Cat website but couldn't find anything. .-.

  Which I really should figure out where to grab it cause the voice overs for this are absolutely amazing!

  
  
  Not only that, it's quite the fun game :o
  
  And the music is really nice, I have Sanae's boss fight theme as an alarm.~
  
  
  I recall it being somewhat difficult to find the actual game itself though. Or rather ... I kept on finding the trial version.

  I wish I could pay for the touhou games. I really do. I deem them all worthy of paying for. Unfournately, I couldn't find a way to buy them so just have to live with having them downloaded :sigh:

  Go for it. I've brought EoSD, PCB and IN from there. (Getting them to work on my crappy laptop is another story, I can get them to work fine on my downstairs computer.) I've also brought IOSYS' Otomebayashi.
  
  What you can't find on there is a lot of the fangames, like anything by Gatling Cat, hence my question.

  Oh I know jbox/jlist. I bought some things from them before. Didn't know you could buy touhou from them though. Interesting.
• Sukima wrote on 2013-02-09 00:32
  Yeah, you can. And they're generally pretty trustworthy in my experience. You can buy some odd stuff like figurines and occasional fangames and stuff but their stock's mainly limited to the main games.
• Ashikoki wrote on 2013-02-09 02:35
  Trustworthy, but are you willing to pay that 200% additional price tag for it?
  
  Jlist is a pretty big scam.

  Same reason why anything else that is overpriced is a scam. Look at Beats, monster cables, etc etc.
  You can get the same things for a quarter of the price off of Ebay/Amazon/amiami

  The price mark up on Jlist is huge.
  
  You're paying like 80 dollars for a 20 dollar product. There are plenty of sites that barely touch the base price. You're already paying that much for international shipping anyways.

  I don't know any of the things you mentioned (Beats, monster cables, amazon, amiami) except for Ebay, and i've never seen an actual Touhou game on there.

  Thanks for the explanation. I only paid about 20 dollars a piece though (+EMS shipping because i'm impatient).
  
  Where would you reccomend buying from then? Assume that Ebay's not an option for me.

  So... ZUN's making an appearance at Anime Weekend Atlanta (Sept. 27-29) this year. Does that mean that now there's a slight (by slight, I mean extremely unlikely) logical chance that we might see some Touhou games come out officially in the states? Or is he just coming over to try American beer?

  Fuck....You know....I think I need to start making vacation plans for this shit. I MUST SEE ZUN IN PERSON! I guess I'll be saving up for the next few months then and start making travel arrangements to go there.
  
  This will be my first time flying and travelling alone. I'm so going to do this.
  
  I mean I already have a trip lined up in April to fly out to Phoenix and then a trip in May to fly out to Barcelona. May as well fly out to Georgia in September while I'm at it.

  Zun hates non-Japanese. He's made it pretty obvious how racist he is.
  
  Why would you want to see him in person.
