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.

I can brand reality till it breaks and then patch the hole with a new reality if that answers your question.

I'm not exactly familiar with all of what you're saying, but we call those big creatures Unique Monsters from where I'm from.

Well, some of them are just slightly normal and others are the size of houses. Oh, there's also Titans; the largest of which actually do the housing. As in, damn near everyone lives on or inside them.

Jeez, sounds nasty.

So how do you fight them off? In my world, we have dedicated heavy artillery for something of that size. Things like high-caliber railguns and rocket launchers and such.

Pick up your weapon, even if you hesitate, you cannot give up. Hold on to your ideals, even if you struggle, you cannot waver.

We use Blades which give us a boost in fighting by giving us a weapon and making us a bit stronger, tougher, and faster. They got plenty of powers themselves too.

Not exactly. Blades are sort of like living beings that give us all sorts of weapons. Some do give you some range like an Ether Cannon or a Bitball. Maybe there's some Rare Blade out there that can get you what you need, if you got the aptitude for it.

They're good for peeling things. Like oranges. I don't know if it's easy or not. Everyone tells me it's to dangerous to use my feet to hold one.

Ever wanted to see the most inexplicably horrifying intro to a game ever?

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/pianitchi_ix.jpg Yes you can use them to peel fruit and cut up veggies (along with various other foods) but it's always best to be careful with them.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/coffretchi_tongue.png I'm a little scared to think how would that work for someone who has to use their feet for that.

Guess the word "Blade" has more meanings where I come from. Must be a regional thing.
