April Fools’ Day

Agh, what horrible timing. Yesterday I was working on an April Fools’ Day flash which I had intended to post today as soon as I got home from school. Unfortunately, at around 8:30 PM, my computer just randomly shut itself down. I thought “Oh well, no big deal, right? I can just turn it back on.” I was wrong! I tried turning it on, but nothing happened. I tried probably a couple hundred times and then just gave up and went to sleep. My uncle usually comes home at midnight, and he usually fixes things when the computer gets messed up like this.

I got home from school today, and my uncle couldn’t fix it, so now I’m using his Vista laptop (I’m not used to Vista or laptop keyboards) without access to Flash for now. So I guess I won’t be able to make new daily flashes until the computer gets fixed. I guess when it gets fixed, I’ll post the April Fools’ flash I had planned for today, even though it’ll be over already. Unless, of course, if it never gets fixed, which would suck because I had Tewi and Reisen drawn up in Touhou-flash style, and I would’ve been able to use them in another flash if I felt like doing so. Gah. And no, this is not an April Fools’ joke, if that’s what you’re thinking.


Oh well, here’s something that actually is an April Fools’ joke: a video for a really awesome-looking Touhou game that will probably never exist. This is probably old news to some of you, since April Fools’ Day is over in Japan already.

  • Owch.

  • It would have been a better April Fool’s joke if ZUN suddenly said he was quitting drinking…

    cuz this April Fool’s joke was not funny ;_;

  • That video looks kind of cool. But ouch Kirby! I hope your computer gets better soon! ;__;

  • I remember seeing this. I wish it was real. Disgaea-style ridiculous attacks are awesome.

  • APRIl-FOOLS DAY

  • D: I was waiting for a flash with Reisen in it. I hope your compy gets fixed soon. Also I think the video is a spoof on Valkyrie Profile.

  • aww, I wish that game was real too.
    Also, hope your computer gets fixed.I wanna see Reisen and Tewi in a flash.

  • Eck!, i mean no more flashes omg noooooo!
    Maybe you souhld download the macromedia flsh thingy for that laptop. Blegh random computer shut down means it need a new power thunigy, behg gotta buy a new onw Ki

  • Hope your uncle gets it fixed. Don’t really care if it isn’t April fool’s day. As long as there is a flash, it is good.

  • You already told me about this, its still a shame though.

    Hope everything gets better soon.

    ^I still think that it’s the best April Fools ever

  • ohnoz

    i hoap your computer gets fix’d soon

  • Oh, Touhou Valkyrie Profile would have been awesome :(

  • I kinda feel your pain KM, I too, have been having freeze ups and errors with my PC. My video card chokes whenver I try to play a game ;_;.

  • Did you try switching out the power source? Sometimes those things bugger out.

  • Why must the Japanese be so cruel?

  • every time you read it you keep hoping for the story to be edited with april fools

    it’s just.. so ouch =|

  • We share a similar boat. This boat is far from nice.

    And to think they tempted us with a Touhou styled Valkyrie Profile…

  • Oh fuck you, irony gods. FUCK YOU. ;_;

  • Hope computer gets fixed, etc.

    And if only that game existed.

  • Mewwwww … @.@

  • Hmm, it sounds like a busted power supply to me. Or maybe a bad power cord. Usually if your computer doesn’t even turn on, it’s gotta be the power.

  • What is an April Fool’s Day? A miserable pile of secrets!

  • @KirbyM: I agree with Immac and T_U – that happened to my brother’s comp once. Turns out the power supply had overheated and something inside it melted (thankfully only the power supply had overheated). A new power supply (and better ventilation ^^;;;) and it was up again as good as… as it was before. =/

    I think it was also April Fool’s day here in the UK when you posted that… but I’m not sure.

    @kittencannabis: Holy crap! That looks awesome! XD
    Has anyone actually released this mod? Or is a group just keeping it for themselves, as seems to have happened with the Hatsune Miku for LD2 mod? (Damn them to Hell, Shiki-sama)
    *Also posted a comment on the vid*

    @bluish wolf: Yes. April Fool’s day is never funny. It’s a day when people feel the need to pick on others more than usual. And that we call these things ‘practical jokes’… well, that’s the biggest joke of all. =/

  • I thought it looked more like Valkyrie Profile.

  • Your computer pulled an April Fools’ joke on you.
    But it forgot it was a joke.
    (9)-computer.

  • I’m actually happy that that vid is an april fool’s joke because it looks very awful.

  • I want that game T.T don’t tell me it’s fake i waaaaaaaant it T.T
