Someone on Nicovideo made a Walfas MAD with a bunch of stuff from the various flashes on the site. It uses a lot of cool camera effects. And it’s awesome. Anyway, I tried uploading it to YouTube but the audio failed to sync, so it’s just on Nicovideo for now. Here’s the video on YouTube.

In other news, the weekly create.swf update will come later today (or probably after midnight, eastern time).

Yesterday, I got a package of gifts from my friend in Japan! It’s a bunch of Touhou stuff from Reitaisai and Comiket earlier this year. It came in one of those regular white mail packets (regular except for the fact that it was a Japanese packet), but inside the packet was a gold-colored bag with the rest of the stuff inside. I took pictures with my dad’s camera, which you can see above.

There was a gold Omekashi bag, a blue Cirno plastic bag, a Maikaze music CD (well, it actually has 2 CDs), an art book, a book of lineart from the art book, a plastic rectangle thing with a picture of Cirno and a drink, a plastic Cirno keychain, a Youmu badge, and a letter. Very cool stuff. The art book is a collection of drawings and stuff from various artists, with Touhou characters wearing modern clothes. There were also some short comics in the book, apparently about Marisa starting a Gensokyo fashion show, which I guess sets up the artwork-based portion of the book (Scans can be found in a zip file here).

I still haven’t removed the Cirno keychain and Youmu badge from the plastic wrappers, but I probably will when I find some place to put them. I’ll probably put the keychain on my keys, because that’s what keychains are supposed to be for, right? Probably. Anyway, yeah… really nice stuff.

Added Tenshi to create.swf! And some imageboard-like background with changeable text!


Speaking of create.swf, here’s a really awesome create.swf video thing made by somebody on nicovideo! Woooo!

Who cares about today’s flash when there’s exciting news like this!


(no, this link does not lead to a Touhou flash)

It’s like that one time when Walfas somehow managed to pop into some sort of informative Japanese convention-goers pamphlet! Totaku linked to this on IRC and then I went around investigating! This one person on Pixiv (I can’t read Japanese but I assume the name’s ????) seems to draw quite a bit of Walfas-based art, and combines stuff from the daily flashes as well. Quite awesome and worth checking out. If you don’t feel like getting an account there, some of the images can be found here.

And here’s a bit of Walfas-style pixel artwork from another Pixiv member by the name 8bit. Hooray! It’s always nice to see fanart from people who speak a completely different language.

Walfas in doujinshi!

This image was posted on the Touhou imageboard today, and well… it’s Ikubi Akius from the Suika flash! A direct Walfas reference in a Japanese doujin! If this were a daily flash, this would be the part where Marisa says “No way! That’s impossible!” But seriously, this is quite awesome and surprising. Since I can’t read Japanese, I don’t know the source or what the text means, so I don’t really have much else to say besides the fact that it’s awesome.

Edit: Here’s a translation! Apparently it’s for some sort of convention or something.

And unfortunately, this new comic by ChiisaiRamen will probably be overshadowed with this awesome news. But anyway, Chii is an awesome person so please don’t judge him based on the fact that he has a DeviantArt account. So from now on, to prevent further conflicts (if you’d call it that), I’ll be linking to the images directly rather than linking to DeviantArt. So yeah.
