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.
see you, space cowboy.
Not a squirrel then? I have no idea what a Beastkin is, but you're right on the rabbit front.

You've got the long ears and the short fluffy tail, I don't exactly associate those with squirrels. Anyways, Beastkin kinda resemble mammals like foxes and cats and stuff, except they're bipedal and they can talk just as well as any other sentient race. Some of my current traveling partners are Beastkin, actually.

Oh, he's a wonderful man dajo! Hatabou was just asking jo. You don't really look much like a gag anyway jo.
"Don't cry because it's over, cry because it happened."

I'm gonna head out.
Welcome to the Literature club!
What exactly are these gags you speak of? And why is one man so intent on creating them?

Gentleman Cthulhu: So sorry for the late reply, just attending to matters in the new land I found myself in after I fell through a portal while I was sleeping.
So, my lads, I heard one of mention earlier that you wanted a spot of tea and crumpets? Well help yourself then, there's enough for everyone!
Gentleman Cthulhu gestures to the 50-ft long buffet table full of tea and crumpets, along with other British cuisine.
Don't worry old bean, just chose what food you want and I can use my powers to move it to your location.

Welcome to the Literature club!
Hmm...some roast beef would be wonderful. Nothing like tormenting innocent children to work up an appetite.

Gentleman Cthulhu: Tally-ho! One steak-and-kidney and one roast beef, coming right up!
Gentleman Cthulhu uses his eldritch powers to teleport the freshly-made food to Nilla and Count Olaf
The stories about me are quite inaccurate I say, quite! They depict me as if I'm some sort of horrible monster! What bollocks! And don't get me started on this H. P. Lovecraft character...
The League of Heroes
Free stuff? Well, don't mind if I do~. What've you got in the way of seafood?
I swear, if this is poisoned...
Welcome to the Literature club!
Horrible? How could anyone say such a thing? You're polite, courteous to a fault, and cook an excellent roast beef, my dear Mr. Chtluhu! Reading stories is a rather nasty business anyway- I try to avoid it whenever I can.

Can Hatabou have some food too dajo?

Sorry 'bout that; I needed to attend to a call from- WAIT, FREE FOOD?
Uh... y'got any grass? Shrubberies? Herby chocolate?
"If you think like a child, you will do a child's work."
Champion of Io!
Beef? Pfffft. Roast Death Dogs are where it's at. I don't recommend that anyone but the strong of stomach eat it though.
Oh look, a ghost!
The Best Worst Psychonaut
Wait a sec... roast beef? Goddamnit, not again... what is this, the fahkin' cannibalist enthusiasm society thread?!
"If you think like a child, you will do a child's work."
x6Gentleman Cthulhu: For seafood I have:
- Cod
- Haddock
- Tuna
- Salmon
- Prawns
- Cuttlefish, Octopus, and Squid
- Dover Sole
- Turbot and Brill
- Witch (Righteye Flounder)
- Grey Mullet
- Anchovies
x5 Those uncouth stories where all based on my powers alone and not my personality. They created a personality based on those powers while neglecting to get to know the real me. Those who believe those stories have formed cults that worship that fabrication of me and claim that if I woke up from an eons-long slumber, I'll cause the end of the world with he power of driving everyone to madness!
I say, if anything my fabricated self would have no effect on the world upon being woken up since to me that world has already driven itself insane without my help, with all the wars, racism, prejudice and controversy running rampant all around the world.
x4 Sure my lad, what do you want?
x3 I have lettuce and a variety of soups. Some of the soups are vegetarian-friendly, some aren't.
x2 Death Dogs? It'll take a while for me to hunt the biggest one I can find but I'll deliver the finished roast meal to you when it's ready.

Eh, of course you don't have the thing I want. Whatever, I'm not one to turn down free food. I'll take a filet of cod.
Gentleman Cthulhu teleports a steaming filet of cod to Iris
Gentleman Cthulhu: What was the thing you wanted, if I may ask?
