James was thinking of Touhou Project. [not to be confused with the Kaiju movie company]
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Touhou_ProjectI'm honestly not that familiar with the games myself because I like being able to move around the screen when I play Shmups, but the music from the games is pretty great stuff, and I like some of the fan made spinoff titles like the Rockman Clone, Megamari [Starring Marisa, who if I am to understand correctly is sort of the Anti Hero secondary protagonist to the series who was originally a kooky villan ala' Wario].
It's kinda fun listening to Johnny talk about Final Fantasy 14. I took a pass myself on both versions although I have friends playing. I tossed 8 years of my life away at FF11, and more than any other video game, I blame FF11 for the direction my life has taken. I don't want that experience ever again. No love of Final Fantasy can save that. That being said, I have REALLY fond memories. it's a tough call, honestly.
Johnny has now provided James with the oppertunity to say "Bite my shiny metal ass!"
As for my backlog, I... I dunno, I don't like having unbeaten games laying around or games that I haven't at least dug in. Usually, it's not the case and I try to finish the games I choose to own, but I do have something that has thwarted me in Steam. Although being a broke freelance graphic designer is a dang good deterrent to the steam summer sale, but I have people that gift me stuff all the darned time, and half of my steam library isn't even installed. X___X
I've also started amassing a bunch of NES games that I haven't really played outside of a test play because it's kinda a pain to get everything hooked up. in the last month I've aquired Legendary Wings, Karnov, and Little Nemo The Dream Master, and put all of 5 minutes into the each of 'em.
I actually am finally getting around to the last game I got around my birthday right now. I got one hell of a set of games for my birthday, and just... wooh. When Super Mario 3D World is the weakest game of this group, that's gotta say something. On March the 27th, 2014, I recieved Super Mario 3D World, Link Between Worlds, Dark Souls, Retro Game Challenge, and I'm now playing Radiant Historia. Then again, I sat there and played Dark souls for about 3 months. that game clicked with my gaming tastes SO much.
