As far as the games go, if you've ever played an arcade-type shooting game like Galaga or 1942... take those games and turn up the difficulty to "slit your wrists". That is a Touhou game on easy. Even on normal, the sheer amount of incoming fire is enough to evoke a fight or flight response, and I'm not exactly a rookie when it comes to that sort of thing. It's physically intimidating!

I was just wandering around following links, and ran into that post, where they talked about the SaiMoe contest, and then started talking about this alternative English-language equivalent.
It wasn't until after I'd posted the link here that I found out that all the characters in question were from some video game, evidently the one you mention.
I don't know a thing about it, however.

Even Saimoe's not all that big, if you sit down and think about it. Few thousand voters at peak levels, maybe 20% of whom are non-Japanese. So maybe 1% of Comiket attendees?

I was never into twitch games. The only FPS I ever enjoyed was Duke Nukem 3D. My thing in gaming was always turn-based strat games, the so-called "fourex" games (Explore, Expand, Exploit, Exterminate).
But I pretty much stopped gaming about ten years ago. I just lost interest in it.
