Where the hell is awildsketchappears when you need him?

[–]KTHaunteR 144 points145 points ago

Touhou. Looks like the model used for that game...I warn you, it's REALLY fucking hard. But for the lazy motherfuckers.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Touhou_Project

P.S. you'll most likely have to pirate it.

[–]LimeDog 17 points18 points ago

Anyone able to figure out which one it is. I only know patterns from embodiment of the scarlet devil and that isn't one of them.

[–]chimeralolz 10 points11 points ago

It looks like a mix of quite a few different spellcards.

Edit: Hmmm actually I think it's from SA or TD on Lunatic, the only two I haven't cleared yet D:

[–]Randrey 0 points1 point ago

They are a bunch of different spell cards. Looks like they don't use the entire spell card and switch it around often. Looks like some from Flandre, Mokou, and Yukari mixed in at the very least. Maybe some Eirin.

[–]Flynnigan_Mcginnigan 0 points1 point ago

I think it's Imperishable Night.

[–]AnalCorrections 0 points1 point ago

Could it be an Extra stage?

[–]chimeralolz 0 points1 point ago

I don't think so, the Extra stages tend to have longer spellcards and more of a pattern, Unless it's a midboss of an extra stage, but I don't recall any looking like that.

[–]Cesar_PT 6 points7 points ago

Fuck this game. Seriously.

[–]CedarWolf 3 points4 points ago

I'm amused that there's a little red blurb at the bottom reading "Enemy" so you can always know where the enemy is, even when you can't see it. That's so convenient!

[–]scooterboo2 8 points9 points ago

It's so you don't have to look up to see where you need to shoot. Useful when there are more bullets than you can count.

[–]CedarWolf 0 points1 point ago

Yep.

[–]svenhoek86 1 point2 points ago

Oh so that's what going completely insane feels like.

[–]Gobluebro 1 point2 points ago

I thought I remembered it from the U.N. Owen was her? videos

[–]ytsejam214 1 point2 points ago

Touhou actually isn't very hard for a bullet hell because it's not made to eat quarters, it's just sort of infamous for it's difficulty because it's basically the bullet hell that everyone knows about and the patterns are extremely pretty and are very good at looking like they're harder than they actually are from an observing perspective.

[–]l34512 0 points1 point ago

I will never know how a bullet hell game has such a huge fanbase...

I'm not complaining though, it's awesome.

[–][deleted] ago

[–]TwoBreaths 7 points8 points ago

That's not Touhou, though that is another game that falls into the Bullet Hell genre. Touhou gameplay looks more like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=oZBa4Og_Kzo#t=190s

[–]SentimentalSentinel 0 points1 point ago

Oh, right, my bad. I saw the gif and I instinctively went to this video.

[–]ThiagoG 73 points74 points ago

Couldnt tell if he was actually not hitting the white bubbles.

Edit: Nvm. I am an idiot.

[–]scumbag-reddit 214 points215 points ago

Yes, that's when he died.

[–]Acolyte666 97 points98 points ago

What a noob.

[–]sjkaley 13 points14 points ago

I thought you did that on purpose. I actually laughed.

[–]Lawlliipop 25 points26 points ago

I should've just played along :(

[–]Hetfeeld -4 points-3 points ago

I upvoted for the edit :D

[–]WhiteBoy22 2 points3 points ago

I do not understand how this extreme level of gaming can be accomplished.....

[–]blightning65 17 points18 points ago

How do people even win at those games?

[–]Five_deadly_venoms 52 points53 points ago

You have to be Asian.

[–]cuddlyogre 15 points16 points ago

It's kind of important.

[–]Jazzertron 14 points15 points ago

Autism.

[–]bad_situation 2 points3 points ago

I am not a big shmup fan, but I speculate that it's knowing about how big the hitboxes for everything is. I imagine it takes hours of experimentation for anyone to be extremely good at these kinds of games.

[–]ytsejam214 5 points6 points ago

This. Bullet hell games are simple if you 1.) know your hitbox, b.) are able to see patterns in everything.

These games are more like puzzle games than action games. It's about deciphering patterns and manipulating them moreso than simply dodging a barrage.

[–]totallyarogue 1 point2 points ago

It's probably from one of the Touhou games, which is a hella popular series, so it's not insanely rare.

[–]jandrese 1 point2 points ago

Mostly they memorize the patterns and develop good reflexes with lots of practice. The skills you need to be good at a bullet hell game are pretty similar to the ones you need to be good at a rhythm game like Guitar Freaks or Dance Dance Revolution.

[–]ittakesacrane 434 points435 points ago

TIL what's it must be like to be a girl on the internet

[–]Nebulaoblivion 85 points86 points ago

You don't have to broadcast that you're a girl.

My sister would play male characters in WoW and then pretend to be a guy and harass "female" characters.

[–]dubblechrisp 262 points263 points ago

Perpetuating the male stereotype to avoid the attention of the male stereotype. How poetic.

[–]spermracewinner 32 points33 points ago

Perpetuating the male stereotype to avoid the attention of the male stereotype. How poetic.

YOU'RE POETIC!!!!!!

[–]snwborder52 27 points28 points ago

YOU'RE A TOWEL.

[–]Varriable 0 points1 point ago

HEY! He won the sperm race. Don't mess with winners.

[–]Hyperdrunk 42 points43 points ago

I once pretended to be a female on the internet to see if people treated me differently.

The did, and I didn't like it. Pretty difficult to have your opinion taken seriously.

[–]Inabit 9 points10 points ago

I am pretending to be a female on the internet right now but I haven't noticed anything different. Perhaps its because 'being female' on the internet is just the act of using the internet normally plus having female genitals.

[–]Taint_Here 16 points17 points ago

Just so you get the whole experience: Tits or GTFO

[–]funkless_eck 27 points28 points ago

Yeah that's only what a worthless GIRL would think. Run along sister and let the men do the talking.

[–]TheAmazingRobinHood 5 points6 points ago

hav sx wif me pls.

[–]swiftpaw12 4 points5 points ago

BJ OR SAMMICH

[–]Nebulaoblivion 1 point2 points ago

I once had my friend create a female alt so that I could whore them out for money.

[–]Sarah_Connor -2 points-1 points ago

Why would anyone do that?

[–]YourGodLucifer -3 points-2 points ago

people on the internet never even notice im a girl :\

[–]Hyperdrunk 0 points1 point ago

Probably because Lucifer is a male persona...

[–]terranq -1 points0 points ago

Maybe it's supposed to be "You're", not "Your"

[–]mypetlion 12 points13 points ago

You don't have to be a shitty person when you come across somebody who doesn't want to hide their gender.

[–]shamecamel 11 points12 points ago

the girl should have to fix themselves because of what men do? Doesn't that sound a little familiar to you?

[–]Nebulaoblivion -2 points-1 points ago

That's not at all what I'm saying, what I'm saying is that if you're online, you don't have to specify your gender, I could be a girl or a guy, you could be a girl or a guy, It really doesn't matter, we're all equals, however I'm sure we're all quite aware that once you do say you're a girl, you'll get thousands of messages and dick pictures etc, I don't see this changing any time soon since there is no consequences for people who do this, so to avoid it you can just say you aren't a girl (or don't specify either way) and you'll stay genderless and un-harrassed.

[–]ADavidEs 10 points11 points ago

What if we are a guy and harass "female" characters?

[–]Nebulaoblivion 17 points18 points ago

Nowadays girls turn out to actually be girls sometimes, but back then, chances are you would be a guy harassing another guy.

[–]MDef255 1 point2 points ago

Then everything's normal.

[–]iamagainstit 4 points5 points ago

isn't that kinda going against her self interest?

[–]workpuppy 3 points4 points ago

It's all fun and games until you have to get on Vent.

[–]spermracewinner 4 points5 points ago

Girls don't broadcast that they're a girl. They just pick girly names. Guys pick names like NUT_CRUSHER. Girls pick names like MSSWEETGRL.

[–]funkless_eck 10 points11 points ago

There's nothing sweet about multiple sclerosis.

[–]lorefolk 2 points3 points ago

Yes yes, lets all pretend we're white males. What could go wrong!

[–]Hoominaga 0 points1 point ago

So she wanted to make fun of people just like those that made fun of her?

[–]electricmice -1 points0 points ago

your sister is secretly a lesbian.

[–]Nebulaoblivion 1 point2 points ago

Not secretly.

Well.

Its confusing, pretty sure she was just a lesbian to turn some guy down.

But shes straight now, has been for awhile.

[–]Jeskim -2 points-1 points ago

Replace "girl" with "gay" and "male" with "straight" and you can see why this is a problem.

[–]Cronoadvan 1 point2 points ago

Wonder how long until a 14 old male virgin reposts this as "How I feel being a girl in the interwebs teehee"

[–]maccabeus 3 points4 points ago

to be fair, most 14 year olds are virgins...

[–]allibaba9996 29 points30 points ago

I laugh at dogs for being easily entertained when they chase their tails..

Then I catch myself watching this...

[–]Naggers123 15 points16 points ago

Mouth agape for the whole thing.

[–]wordsandstuffs 16 points17 points ago

What game is this?

[–]drumkn0t 19 points20 points ago

touhou with a hitbox mode ?

[–]gilleard 24 points25 points ago

Devin Hester on a punt return

[–]mexipimpin -1 points0 points ago

I was thinking it was Kratos in some super secret suicide level, but in all honesty, I like your example better.

[–]Negrodamis 56 points57 points ago

The whole time, i imagined my penis as the green dot just spraying everywhere and the red dot as my girlfriend miraculously dodging all of it....

[–]thethingofcreepy 18 points19 points ago

Beautiful.

[–]HerpDeDerpy 5 points6 points ago

poetic

[–]gringobachatero 5 points6 points ago

And then I realized I am way to easily entertained.

[–]a20something 11 points12 points ago

Guys this is clearly a metaphor for the war on drugs. The green dot is the US throwing all the money and firepower it has at the red enemy dot (Drugs, cartels, etc) that just won't quit. Pretty entertaining show, especially on the ecstasy I bought from Manuel.

[–]IAmJBear 3 points4 points ago

So you'd say the US is pretty close to putting a stop to drugs then?

[–]basmith7 2 points3 points ago

I don't do drugs. It is working.

[–]FauxShizzle 7 points8 points ago

Ikaruga?

[–]DickJackson 2 points3 points ago

One of the best. I still play that game at least once a week.

[–]KingMeKevo 2 points3 points ago

You shouldn't be able to play that game passed the age of 40 due to chance of a heart attack

[–]DickJackson 0 points1 point ago

Man. I can't imagine surviving the amount of adderall it would take for me to do that.

[–]lazybandgeek 3 points4 points ago

This seems like it is the final ikaruga battle, is that just me?

[–]Taint_Here 2 points3 points ago

This reminds me of the later battles in Enders Game - random I know but its the first thing that came to mind.

[–]Where4ArtThouBromeo -1 points0 points ago

Ctrl-F "Enders" to see if anyone had the same thought as me!

Good ol' bullet hell games. I love 'em but hate 'em at the same time. Like mentioned in another comment, this appears to be based off of Touhou. There's also a set of bullet hell games on Steam from Rockin' Android.

[–]3lfk1ng 0 points1 point ago

I have a game like this on my phone.

Tilt to Live - One of my favorites!

[–]FragdaddyXXL 1 point2 points ago

After becoming this good and precise, you would think they would suffer some sort of mental condition similar to Tetris Syndrome.

[–]Ratiqu 0 points1 point ago

I expected the orange dot to suddenly hit the green dot with a single white dot, at which point the whole thing would be revealed as a comparison to modern multiplayer FPS's as the green dot yells "THAT'S BULLSHIT YOU FUCKING FAGGOT! THAT SHIT'S SO OP, JUST GO FUCKING DIE ALREADY!"

Not sure if I'm disappointed or not. Huh.

[–]Hetfeeld 0 points1 point ago
