Huh? What resolution is your screen at, anyway? If you know where to look, you'll find literally thousands of absurdres pics that are suitable as a desktop wallpaper.

[Agent of Dread]

1366 x 768, which is a rather odd resolution. 16:9.
The best ones on the site I go to are all 1280x800 or something. ;_;
(That said, I still got a great pick of Youmu walls. )

[Shade]

Huh. Well, that's not much larger than the norm, and most of the pics I see are so large that you could just crop them to fit your screen.

[Agent of Dread]

Yeah, there certainly isn't any shortage. I'm just strict for quality.

[penguinflyer5234]

1366x768 isn't odd at all. It's standard! (there are just too many standard resolutions to choose from, that's all)

[Agent of Dread]

Reimu? Is that you?

Also, I ended my 'break' from EoSD today, and hell, even Reimu B can't keep up with Marisa A in terms of dangerously quick spellcard capture.

This looks like a parody of some other game's artwork style, but I can't put my finger on which game that is.

[Agent of Dread]

I don't know, but it's damn well gorgeous.

Got 330 million in PCB, didn't even beat Yuyuko. Dat inexplicable lowered frame rate in that particular session.

[octagon]

Many computers don't like motion blur. The stage introductions (especially that of stage 3 with the inexplicable Alice face trinket) are enough to cause a significant difference in slowdown ratings between PCB and other games.

I still find Perfect Cherry Blossom peculiar, with its haikus and pre-boss troll attacks... A good kind of peculiar, though.

[Agent of Dread]

I'm slowly starting to be able to manage stage four, and stage five is coming preeeetty naturally.
Youmu's first spellcard is still a particular sore spot for me, though.

The weird thing about the slowdown that session was that the game itself just seemed to be occupied. The delayed everything was there continuously from launch, and my computer/s usually handle/s the whole thing no problem.

When did? How could? I- I-

[octagon]

Wow. I watched part 1 of this a while ago and found it pretty damn promising, but I wasn't aware that episode 2 has been released.

I was surprised that Marisa didn't immediately get what the book was about… Her spellcards show that she studied astronomy quite a lot.
I like how Aya's camera has the same viewfinder that's seen in-game.
The spellcard Youmu tried to use against Reisen, by the way, was 6-root Cleaning from Hisoutensoku. In the game it's a counterattack, and if I remember correctly, it hits for 80% of a character's maximum health. It's a nice way to portray her character to let her bring out the big guns just to retrieve a watermelon…
Also, note the sunflower field… Uh oh.

[Agent of Dread]

So much stuff I still don't know about :')
I love all the voicing, though. Kikuko Inoue as the narrator was epic because... Virgilia. And of course, Youmu being Madoka/Victorique doesn't hurt one bit either.

[octagon]

I agree, most of the voices are pretty great - though I know less Japanese words than your average weeaboo, the voice acting adds greatly to the immersion for me. At the first impression, I don't really like Reisen's voice though, although it's still well done. And Aya is slightly annoying, but in a good, fitting way.
