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.

Thank you for clarifying. And I am also not interested in the criminals.
How unfortunate that you are attempting to deceive me.

So... I just got back and what's this about criminals?

Criminals plural? I ain't gonna get with a woman ever again. I learned from my mistakes. Meanwhile this bastard right here gets manipulated every time.
Nehahahaha...

What are your names, anyway? And no, green text, I’m not going anywhere. You’d kill an entire world just to be with me? I’d kill you just to get you out of my hair.
How unfortunate that you are attempting to deceive me.

Don't act like you've never once heard of Arsène Lupin the Third, MASTER GENTLEMAN PHANTOM THIEF, in your life.
For crying out loud Lupin, not everyone's in the same universe, damn narcissist. Anyway, name's Daisuke Jigen. The man with the plan. But more importantly, the man with the gun.

Would you like to know my name? I’ll reveal it if you so desire. And you’re right - not everyone lives in the same universe. I happen to rule over two. Well, one of them is an oligarchy between myself and two other sages, but still.
How unfortunate that you are attempting to deceive me.
I've never heard of Arsène Lupin the Third, master gentleman phantom thief, in my life.
However, my name is Gerdsine. I am a warrior.

I'm Huney B now. Okay?

Gerdsine, you know what I like about you? You're a wolf, right? Reminds me of how I've used that as my alias some times back in the day. Nyehaha.
"Don't cry because it's over, cry because it happened."
... You've used Gerdsine as an alias.
I'm Huney B now. Okay?

Your surname certainly implies it. Your first name, on the other hand, brings to mind arsenic - something I am far less fond of.

Oh, since we're introducing ourselves: I'm Capcom! When I'm not fighting I spend my time making games

I suppose there’s no point keeping it secret from those who shall never visit my domain.
And there you have it. Name, subtitle, and job. I assume being a god counts as a job, at least.
How unfortunate that you are attempting to deceive me.
My surname is unimportant. I am aware you were talking to them, but I shall state such anyway.
I'm Huney B now. Okay?
Meito Anizawa, Anime Tenchou
I don't really have a surname myself... unless you count "Co., Ltd"

The Senate
It’s as good as any. Do you have a subtitle?
How unfortunate that you are attempting to deceive me.
Meito Anizawa, Anime Tenchou
Hmm... subtitle, subtitle... jeez, can't say I ever thought of one... but I guess any great fighter should have one...
"Leftover items still have value!"
The Senate
You do need one. I can help you choose - just tell me what you’ve done so far.
How unfortunate that you are attempting to deceive me.
Meito Anizawa, Anime Tenchou
Well, if you want my backstory, I was founded back in 1979 - though I was known as I.R.M back then - and some years later, in 1983, I would release my own game... though those were just coin-op games, with an arcade title coming a year later, and then I got into console development! My first real successful game series was Mega Man... and I've had even more successes through the years! Stuff like Street Fighter? Resident Evil? Ace Attorney? Monster Hunter? Yep, all mine! I'm also known for doing quite a few crossovers with my fellow companies... both fighting games and others!

The Senate
Given that you’re well known for fighting, how about “Being of Violent Interactions”?
How unfortunate that you are attempting to deceive me.
... What about just Fighting Developer?
I'm Huney B now. Okay?
The Senate
It’s kind of an unspoken rule in Gensokyo that your subtitle has to be at least three words. Not everyone follows it, but it’s common.
How unfortunate that you are attempting to deceive me.
The Fighting Developer, then.
I'm Huney B now. Okay?
The Senate
That’s just lazy. I’d say no one has a “The”, but that would be kind of hypocritical. I guess it works, though.
How unfortunate that you are attempting to deceive me.
...
I was talking to the thieves, woman.
And I will quickly drop a pre-emptive "not interested," thank you.
I'm Huney B now. Okay?
