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, didn't Wario fight a clown once?
Oh yeah! how could I forget that one?

It's the Uncanny Valley effect, isn't it? I've had my fair share of it.
Humans getting freaked out by other humans painting their faces white kinda explains a few things, actually.

Apparently, the Uncanny Valley only applies to things that don't quite look like a human. I don't think it's the makeup that makes clowns scary, it's just the knowledge of pop culture.

About that... how many Eldritch Abominations have you seen in your lifetime?

I don't think I can say I've really seen any.
The closest I've seen are probably those game bugs. Those things were pretty freaky!
Totally! Especially when they all merged together. Was probably the ugliest thing I've ever seen!

We haven't seen creatures of that kind either.
Just like the boys above, I've only had to deal with them in video games. Dark and edgy games tend to have them.

Meet the Tamas!◊ Can't let any of those suckers live!

... this place is moving a bit too fast for me. we're talking about creatures? i know a few of those! well, i know one at least. and he's kind of just like that by choice.
A bee, a beetle and a moth
I haven't met him (yet), but- *WHAM!* *BLAM!* -Cybertronian legends frequently talk about a- *BOOM!* -cosmic horror known as Unicron, the Chaos-Bringer—a monstrous planet-transformer, and an evil brother of our creator-god Primus, that seeks to- *KA-BLAM!* -devour our home planet Cybertron and the rest of the existence! Brrr... Even I shudder to imagine facing him someday.

definitely seen at least one Eldritch Abomination though I'm not entirely clear as to which part it was

NEVADA'S PRETTY CRAZY BUT IT'S FUN :D NOT SURE WHAT I'D BE IF I WASN'T IN HERE
"Can you see what I see?"
This Nevada place sounds wild! How the heck do you guys live there?
I mean, you say that, but you probably get used to it once you've lived there long enough. It's not that different from Diamond City when you think of it like that.
I guess, but it still doesn't sound like a place I would want to live...

The US states? I don't know much about them, as I study other topics. I often see people saying my home region of Unova bears a striking resemblance to a US place known as "New York".

Because, from what I've heard, the makeup they wear looks- *WHAM!* -disturbing and/or unsetting! At least, that's what some of our human friends claim.
