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.

Come to think of it, it's pretty impressive that we all know what we're talking about, despite the fact that we live in different universes... and I can't come up with an explanation that doesn't sound outlandish.

"Can you see what I see?"
I've never really thought of it like that, but yeah, that is weird.
It's like Super Smash Bros. We're part of that universe, so we know that all the other universes in the game are real. Does that mean when we play games based on the other universes, that we're actually taking a look into them?

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
"Poyo!" "Okey!"![[up]](https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/smiles/arrow_up.png "[up]"){kind=icon}
Yeah, it is pretty weird. I guess we just share similar things among us.
That place? You guys seen Pyra and Mythra?
"Can you see what I see?"
Sadly, no. They've only ever invited our boss, Wario to join Smash, so we've never gotten to meet them.
Gotta hand it to ya, though. You've got some rad friends!
Ever wanted to see the most inexplicably horrifying intro to a game ever?I've heard about him through them. They didn't think too highly of him, to be honest.

We get that a lot, and... yeah I kinda get it. He is a bit of a weirdo.
No kidding. He definitely stands out, that's for sure.
Ever wanted to see the most inexplicably horrifying intro to a game ever?Well, technically I got in Smash before them. Hell, I even got there before Rex.

I have finally had my first engine failure mid jump in the multiverse. Its very dark out here with no other realities close by almost reminds me of the early days when i explored the stars for worlds to colonize. Anyhow seems ETA for any help to arrive is about 3 hours.

I am just back from the doctor. I thought I was, y'know, poisoned.
Anyway, this forum has some really lame forum games.

Designing forum games? I know a game called Nomic
, which is about changing the rules of the game itself. There is a thread about it on this site, but it's dead, and the last message is by me because I haven't looked at the previous post's date.
I'm helping!
yeah nomic games seem to either die out real fast or go on for literal years

It doesn't, though, because the rules get selected in a democratic process, which means if someone wants to claim all the power for himself, all the other people will probably vote against it. This filters out most rules which would fundamentally change the game, and only allows mundane rules. Imo the only rule that Nomic needs is the Rule of Fun.
