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.

This unit will be alerting authorities of death trap shows.
Unless there are Erinysi in those shows, in which case: Exterminate all Erinysi.

bit late but happy Qixi for those who celebrate it
had to retool Valentine's choco production lines for festival food, which took 65% of my waking hour today. what about you guys
Behind them is darkness full of peril, and in front of them are scheming wolves, apes, tigers, and leopards, waiting to plunder victory.
My apologies, but I'm not familiar with human celebrations. What is "Qixi"?
professional dork
i'm not super familiar with it either, but it's supposed to be a celebration for lovers.
asked our folklorist (Kurane) and this is what she said:
legend was that a cowherd fell in love with a divine weaver girl, and they married. the Emperor of Heaven, furious, forced the weaver to come back to the sky, and the cowherd chased after her, only to be stopped by the Queen Mother who drew a silver river between them. but the love between the cowherd and the weaver was so strong it moved a flock of magpies, who promised to build a bridge between them once a year, at the seventh day of the seventh lunar month
folks made a festival to celebrate their yearly reunion ever since

Sounds like a lovely story. It's interesting to learn from human folklore.

Hello there, does anybody has seen a vampire here ? I'm a "vampire hunter" and i could kill her.
Not-so-Magical Girl
Oh we call it Tanabata here! It's always fun to celebrate!
Maybeee. You look a bit weak and boring to fight though so maybe the vampire won't bother hehe.

WEAK AND BORING ?!?! BE QUIET ! I'M A BIG AND STRONG BOY ! I'M 12 YEARS OLD !! THIS ISN'T NOTHING !!
professional dork
yeah so what are your plans when you do get to fight a vampire

You sure you want to take on the Scarlet Sisters, weak human? Remi can manipulate fate, and Flan can destroy anything at a cursory glance.
Not-so-Magical Girl
Yeah you sound too weak and small to take on me or my big sis. I don't think you'd even make it past Meiling!

Peach's "not amused" state
1. I make them fear me with my strong and bold attitude.
2. I drive my stake through their hearts.
3. ?????
4. Profits.
BE QUIET !! I'M NOT SCARED !! IT'S JUST A BUNCH OF BOLOGNA !! (i hope) COME AND FIGHT ME !

Ooh I saw someone stake big sis once.
She ripped it out then staked them with it, she looked really cool but then complained they ruined her dress.
