Intrigued by Kroptik's latest avatar. Who is this Mystery Girl? Well, here's a clue:

Is that an anime, game, or just music video?

Offtopic:  How do u display the certificate?

Offtopic: I asked for it, didn't I?  

Screencap the image, crop it as is appropriate, and locate it in a suitable image hosting site, saving the URL for that particular image. In the "Forum Profile Information" section of your profile here at Lum-chan.com, scroll down to "Custom Title:" & "Signature", enter the URL for the image in the text window, and use the "insert image" button above the text window as you normally would to embed a photo.

Doubtless you already knew all the last part, and all I really had to type was "MYFCOnline won't allow hotlinking and doesn't save the image for you", but I had to make sure.

What little I've gathered so far: Touhou is a long-lived game series. A couple of characters from the series transitioned into the Miku Hatsune (VOCALOID) mania, showing up in MikuMikuDance vid's, and appearing here in their own vid' (with a song from Touhou). Kroptik is better versed in this; perhaps he'll educate us. Kroptik?

Offtopic:  Actually I wanted "Drunk Lum" but after doing the certificate thing I left the page and couldn't figure out how to display it again.

Well, not much more I can say about it...

Touhou is a series of bullet hell shooters (yes, that's the official name for the game genre). So far 12 have been released, along with 4 different touhou games: 3 fighters and a spin-off of the originals. The first 5 ones are not for Windows, you need a PC-9801 emulator to play them.

Just check here if you want to know more. I don't feel like explaining everything, but I'll tell you this: you should try the games, even though they look scary at first. xD

the ones that I've played are Imperishable Night and the Embodiment of Scarlet Devil, these hell shooters are punishing even on the easiest level, but you just have to come back for more. But the fanbase and fanwork of Touhou is huge, that a single post can't explain how extensive it is, and funny how some fanmade work branches off more fanmade work like for example bad apple has
Bad apple: stylized lasers

Bad apple: stop motion

and the second one actually caught CNN's attention

all this is just the tip of the iceberg

Loved the first one, BUT it doesn't work well with those lasers, because there's no black/white contrast, only lines.
Second one was just weird. xD
