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.

It's a type of Swedish furniture store. They're famous for letting you assemble your own furniture instead of delivering it completed, as well as a very particular shark plushy. Their bags hold several gallons of material, and I have two of them at home for carrying around a lot of stuff!

Like don't put yourself down, it's totally fine if that happens. I also agree that a shark plushie would be so jawsome to have!
Hahaha, I know that show! Street Sharks probably would've gotten some plushies if they were as successful as the TMNT!
Veronika
ooh, i just thought of something neat to share!
this is the Warframe i pilot, Excalibur Umbra! i edited his looks with these Dex decals, so now he looks even cooler! >:3
Tama May Cry 1: Toony Angelos
He does look pretty frickin radical, I just love the choice of colors there!
Yeah, I definitely dig the blazin' black and orange on him too. Truly badass.
And a boss name to boot, you really got good taste! Thanks for sharing!

If I want to be positive, I like to listen to songs like this:

Yo buddies, still tropin’?
The Lady of House Solari
Whenever I’m feeling down, I just remember that my fuemigos are keeping me company and that I’m gonna make my family proud!
I belong to neither Heaven nor Hell. I am a woman self-possessed.
Tama May Cry 1: Toony Angelos
[1] That's honestly a very catchy song! Even if it reminds me of the rough routes of war, it'd keep me upbeat.
[2] That's a lovely way to keep up your spirits, it's always a good feeling to do things to make your family proud!
The Lady of House Solari
Thanks! My omele was the one who encouraged me to do this, and she always knows what’s right. And you know, you guys kinda look like my fuemigos.
[1] So you fight battles in that machine? Sounds like something those tinkerers in Piltover cooked up.
Veronika
[1] well, not exactly???
i do control it, but it’s not a suit. it’s essentially an organism that i willingly link minds with and control for combat, rescue, etc.
Ya’ll don’t wanna know how Warframes were created though. The truth is a bit… worrying, to say the least.

The Lady of House Solari
I’ve witnessed plenty of death in the halls of the Immortal Bastion, young lady. I don’t mind hearing whatever gruesome origin your machine has.

Tama May Cry 1: Toony Angelos
I see what you mean by looking at them, hehe! [1] Ils sont certainement adorables!
That's a neat way to be compared to heat! [2] No worries, I can deal with hearing it too.
Veronika
alright. just know, it’s a bit long.
might as well tell ya’ll the incident that jumpstarted the beginnings of all of this stuff.
The Orokin continued experimenting with the Void. At some point, an experiment was conducted where a colony ship containing a large group of people and their families was directed into the Void in an attempt to travel to and populate the Tau System. The ship was lost and it was many years before the ship resurfaced.
Due to Void exposure, the adults on the ship became crazed, hunting down the children. The children, however, had survived exposure to the Void, retaining their sanity, but they had changed during the process. The children developed uncontrollable Void related powers that were capable of mutilating or killing anyone who came into contact with them. In self-defense, the children killed the unhinged adults, even their own parents, being traumatized for what they did.
After the rediscovery of the ship, the Zariman children were deemed dangerous by the Orokin. They were hidden away and forgotten out of shame and fear, being known as "Void demons". The Zariman children became known later as the Tenno, called such for the Zariman ship's designation of Ten-Zero (Ten-0).
…I was one of those children.

Oh wow, what a massive disaster you and so many others had to experience. Plus at a young age too, I'm sorry to hear that.
Kids with uncontrollable void powers that accidentally caused a lot of deaths and they had to be locked up? Gee, that's just tragic.

well, we at least had each other. that definitely helped. but… i can barely remember what it was like there anymore besides what I’ve been told.
i know we were put into stasis a few years after the ZTZ incident, the creation of Warframes, and the Old War, but otherwise… i have no idea how long it’s been. Could be 20 years…
could be 20,000.
you will seeeeee, that all the people are wonderful~
The Lady of House Solari
I know what that’s like. To be around for so long ya don’t even remember. All I have is my revenge.

It sounds like these “Orokin” would be some sort of oppressive bastards…
