In the world of gaming there are only two things that consistently make me happy: Touhou and Mahjong. Each of which I could devote a review to, though I have a feeling they would quite long and arduous. Imagine my delight when I discovered that someone in Japan felt my desires too and produced a high quality, fully legal Touhou mahjong set. Now, not only could I have my cake, but I could have Touhous on my mahjongs! Oh, and I could eat the cake too.
I contend that nothing good ever comes of a story that begins with the words “So, this one time, I was on Hongfire.” And nothing proves this more than the tale I am about to tell. Be mindful that this post is not only possibly not safe for work, but probably not safe for you either.
So, this one time, I was on Hongfire. I had made this egregious mistake earlier this week while searching the vast and wondrous internet for mahjong games that I hadn’t seen before. I had already beaten a fairly high ranking guy on Tenhou and the day before had beaten a ridiculously hard AI on my iPhone mahjong app and so, feeling naively confident, I decided to hunt for a more “worthy” challenge. Clearly, as you can tell by the tone of my writing, my hubris would best me in the end.
