Ahh, console video games (or vidcons as I call them). the ultimate medium of expression, able to convey any emotion ranging from hatred to love, loyalty to fear, all in front of our eyes. Ah, and with lovingly crafted art, music, and the ability to control the action, vidcons are the ultimate combination of the high arts. While I tend to play the stoic, I will be the first to admit that vidcons haven driven me to cry, to scream and shout, to feel actual hate; such is the power of this force beyond our wildest reckoning. And here I am, before you, to temp your tongues with the taint of such a tantalizing topic.
And the Japanese, the true geniuses behind the world of video games. Pah, I throw my scorn upon such incompetents of the West who would mock the true art of the Japanese with 'games' such as Baldur's Gate and Madden. Perhaps it is that the West is not as intelligent as the East, but this is a matter for another day. Japan has given us such masterpieces as the Final Fantasy series, Star Ocean, Wild Arms, and of course, Arc the Lad. Yes, some of the finest vidcons in the world were created by Japanese. I come to you today to ask you in all earnesty, what is your favorite vidcon? I will reveal mine after the grand debate has illustriously begun, but not before the first poster falls victim to my plot of discussion.
In other words, this is a thread on an imaginary forum our avatars frequent. The topic can fluctuate, and its mostly just general discussion.

If you have a problem with Hokuto then tell it to me!

Be careful, Juicy! Dangerous danger!

Evening, all. We've been receiving reports of a new variety of vermin: cyber-vermin! Unfortunately we don't have any encounters with these on record, so I have been assigned to locate and clear the local internet of them. Perhaps you can provide information.

Let's see... cyber-vermin... Halloween... this isn't just some sick prank, is it?

Halloween? No reference to that in the city infestation logs. Would that be a variety of cyber-vermin, citizen?

No, it's a holiday.

The only holiday we know is recharge day. Comes once every month. Us ExtermiBots cannot afford to take vacations. Too many Amoeboids infesting the city, and I rationalise this new Halloween infestation may stretch our operational capacity even more!

If it's vermin, it can be exterminated. Or at the very least selectively sterilised to maintain a controllable population figure. :)
Emoticon successfully deployed. Has that enhanced my ability to engage with the public? Please rate my performance at BMPCS.Ril.So.

But... it's not vermin.

But that is not possible. It is not on the municipal registry. It is therefore an unknown, invasive species that must be curtailed until further information is gathered to determine if it is eligible for protection under Article 14 of the Rilgarian Wildlife Protection Act.

You're not making much sense, citizen. Perhaps you feel endeared to this Halloween creature because you find it 'cute'? The inhabitants of Planet Damosel in the neighbouring Bogon Galaxy are on record as experiencing the same reaction towards the defective first batch of MegaCorp Protopets. That did not turn out well for them.
"If you think like a child, you will do a child's work."

I don't... cute?
Long live the New Bev.

Yes, cute. When applied as an adjective, defined as 'possessing physical features, behaviors, personality traits or other properties that are mainly attributed to infants and small or cuddly animals; e.g. fair, dainty, round, and soft physical features, disproportionately large eyes and head, playfulness, fragility, helplessness, curiosity or shyness, innocence, affectionate behavior.'
But it is your duty as a vigilant citizen to NEVER be fooled by such qualities when possessed by vermin. This is a Protopet
, for example. Possesses many 'cute' qualities. Was responsible for the worst large-scale urban infestation on record in over fifty years.

I don't think you quite understand, citizen. You may say that a given creature is not vermin, but that does not make it so. Only the supreme municipal authorities are permitted to make such difficult decisions.

That would depend on whether or not it was conventional vermin or a sub-variety of the rumoured 'cyber-vermin', believed to be noncorporeal and existing in a code-based form online. Both varieties can be exterminated with little difficulty.

An entirely new variety of vermin?! On behalf of the BMPCS, I request that you to tell us everything you know! Lives could be at risk!
