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.
you know, like... nya!
isn't that like, a JRPG thing?
I'm helping!
beats me i've never heard of a jrpg lol
Trouble Cube continues to be a general-purpose forum for those who desire such a thing.

It's a Japanese role-playing game, known for incentivizing plot and narrative. Usually they're turn-based, but not always.
I mean I don't play them duh but I have a friend who's all about them.
What's your deal with these "goody-goodies"? What did they ever do to you other than teach you how to write better?
Yeah, reading is fun!
I didn't say that, but hey, more power to you, Pyra.

WALUIGI IS BACK. THREAD IS FUNNY AGAIN.
...I'm suddenly reminded of that whole cult full of Nopon we ran into.
With all that "Dark Majesty to destroy Alrest" talk? Yeah, I'm getting flashbacks.
Also, who are you, the class clown?

I'll take a class clown over whatever the fuck this Meen dude is.

Ooh Im doing quiet fine! The construction of my magic labyrinth is going pretty well saw far! 70% of my labyrinth is done, and my Mad Scientists just finished recreating Frankenmeen, my strongest special pet so far (well, until Robomeen will be created), and soon they are gonna get to assembling Robomeen! These bookworms will be in for a nasty surprise once he'll be complete! i think he'll fit perfectly in level 35—the last lower Library level, right before the main library, where I'll be capturing bookworms! Muahahahahahahahahahaha!

ONE TIME, WALUIGI ATE A BOOK.
you know, like... nya!
How'd it taste?

id presume very... cellulose
I look to the stars... but that's mostly because there isn't anything else interesting
Consuming a book seems ...unwise.
I see that the discussion has progressed much during my absence. If only that fool hadn't tried to surprise me, the computer wouldn't have shorted out.
Regardless, how do the rest of you beings fare? I do admit that since I cannot hunt here, the novelty of the experience has piqued my interest.
So, let's hang an anchor from the sun... also my Tumblr

Oh, we’re fine.
There isn’t much trouble about, anyways.
Other than getting some of every living thing in all reality. That’s for our “Cosmic Ark” project, and we’re doing it to… I don’t actually know why we’re doing it other than to preserve life.

Cambrian animals sure are weird, am I right?

Taking some engineering courses. Turns out proper CAD software is way more useful for making machine components than Blender 3D. Oh well, at least the machines that I do have right now look fancy.
Aren't you Eurasian Jays? What's that Cosmic Ark project about?
robot boy.....
,cosmic ark? that sounds like a really big project, what is it about?
Extreme math nerd
My best guess is that it's some kind of space colony... Hey, if it is a construction project, mind if I help out? I have really good building equipment, and not much to do with it.

For your information, we’re Fork-Tailed Babbling Jays.
Nothing to do with Earth jays. In fact we’re evolved from canaries.
And about that “Cosmic Ark” project, it’s pretty much a 5 light year-long spaceship made to hold some of every living thing in reality. It stays in intergalactic space while smaller ships actually do the collecting. Also, you can help out with the building.

Definitely ours. If you want your labyrinth to be grander, make it the size of a star cluster.

'Cosmic Ark' "grand" project, eh? Well, let's see whose project is grander: that Cosmic Ark thing, or the magic labyrinth of I! M! MEEEEEEEEE~hehehehehehehe~EEEEEN!!! Hahahaha!
Star claster-sized labyrinth? Why would I need it? Wht am I going to do with so much empty space? And where will I get so much resourses to build it? Magic marble doesnt grows on trees you know! Its not an renewable resource!

why would a labyrinth need to be so big?
and why use hard to get materials? is magic marble better then normal marbel?
A bee, a beetle and a moth
Yes it is! Its more high-quality and chaneels magic better! You have to use only best materials for constructing your labyrinth! After all, it would be humiliating for your labyrinth to collapse and break apart right when you puti t to use!

dear god have you ever heard of crystals? even plain quartz would work better then infused marble.

Five light years? Are there that many species in your universe? Over here, we're struggling to find life that's not from Earth.
x4 No offense, but you can definitely not top a 5ly long spaceship, Meen.
x3 Even if marble isn't hard to come by, you'll still have a hard time gathering enough to pave that much area. Especially if you're only using the resources from one planet.
Anyways, I'll be on my way. You can recognize me by the 122mhz radio signal (signal.bin-5kb), see you soon! Hopefully.
