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.

Hatabou wants a hamburger and an American dog dajo!
"Don't cry because it's over, cry because it happened."
Gentleman Cthulhu: A hamburger and an American dog, coming right up!
Gentleman Cthulhu teleports the warm food to Hatabou

American dog? What is that, like, a special breed or something?
Gentleman Cthulhu: I think it's another name for what Americans call a "hot dog", also known as the American version of a frankfurter.
The League of Heroes
Oh, yeah, I know that.
Uggghhh...
I have no idea what Americans are, what are they?
see you, space cowboy.
I think it's a rare species of cat that died off in the 1960s.
Long live the New Bev.
Gentleman Cthulhu: To put a long story short, Americans are a group of humans from a country called the United States of America. They are from a planet called Earth.

Right, man. Pika is spinnin' around the Cosmos, searching for the right flavour of jam. He's melting on his own toast, dissolving in his own tea. Yeah.
Who are either of you?
Don't step on the flowers.
Ugh... I'm tired... I'll come back to this thread later...

Hello! Reimu told me about this "Inter-dimensional-Computer-thing" she found over at Rinnosuke's, so, naturally, I decided to... Er... "Borrow" it!

So this is the Internet. I see. I can finally say things other than "pika". That is wonderful. Allow me to introduce myself. I am Robomatsu, a robot constructed by a man by the name of Iyami. My goal is simple: ruin the reputation of those wretched sextuplets.
"Don't cry because it's over, cry because it happened."
Don't step on the flowers.
Sextuplets? Why ruin their lives? What did they ever do to you?
"YOU SHALL FEEL THE FLOWER'S WRATH"
see you, space cowboy.
Don't step on the flowers.
Hey, it's MAGICIAN, not witch! ...Okay, kinda.

While they have done nothing to me, they have done horrible things to Master Iyami. According to him, they have beaten him up to a pulp before, teasing him, abusing him. I do not have anything against to the sextuplets; I don't. It is because of Master Iyami I must do such things.
"Don't cry because it's over, cry because it happened."
see you, space cowboy.
that's pretty cool.
Long live the New Bev.
Okay, so you're an Automaton. How about you, green guy, what's your story?

It is amazing to at once be able to communicate with others. Master Iyami programmed me without speech, so before, I could only make the sound "pika".

Naw, I'm sure you're doing a great job! A lot of evil things don't have arms!
Glad you're happy. I think. Do you have any feelings? Don't think I've met an Automaton that wasn't kinda dead emotionally.

For example, if I were to dismember the sextuplets.
"Don't cry because it's over, cry because it happened."
see you, space cowboy.
oh no no, we're not evil. we're mercenaries.
okay i guess that's kinda evil...
Long live the New Bev.
Hey, if you're kinda evil, that makes two of us. Three counting the robot guy.
Eh, doesn't matter, I got something out of this deal already, I ain't gonna ask for more than I need.
