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.

Oh thank you honey! Hope you're having a good Halloween today with your Tama friends!
Oh dear! I didn't expect you (Mama-Coffrectchi) and my mom to visit today, they usually stop by on mother's day.
Hi guys! I'm here to share your some of my Halloween baked goods! You should share it since I doubt you two can eat it all!
Mortefi
No, I'm serious. What's a "Halloween" and is it related to the sudden spike in spiritual activity?
In his world, despite Halloween going uncelebrated, it is a day when evil spirits are able to come much closer to the human realm. Or, at least, that's a headcanon of mine :p

[1] The night of October 31, the eve of All Saints' Day, commonly celebrated by children who dress in costume and go door-to-door asking for candy!
It's a good night to get your spook on!
A fun way to enjoy the aspect of scariness in a fun way!
Its a cosplayers dream in nightmarish vibes!
It's also a good time for crazy decorations!
The theme of Halloween is often associated with pumpkins which we like to carve with knifes!
Careful sis, you might scary someone with that talk. Anyway, many places seem to enjoy the festivities of Halloween even in our time period (my sister and I came from the future).
Our world weally calls it Tamaween and awot of us wike pahtying during it too!
Especially when some of the best jamming tunes are from the wildness and wickedness that today brings!
Let's not forget the huge load of horror films to enjoy as well as terrifying toon and vicious video games to embrace!
Just hope you're not in a world where the insanity that similar to Halloween isn't taking in a serious manner.

So tired from yesterday. I decided to dress up for Halloween in my Hayley Smith costume, because it would be cool. Some of my friends complimented me for my costume, they said it was a great choice.

The spiritual activity from yesterday has calmed down. It got especially bad just before midnight, so I didn’t really get to sleep.

I'm tired out too since we walked a bit around the neighborhood trick or treating, partied through the night and watched horror films beyond midnight.
Most of us were up until 4 AM.
The sweets we had didn't help in that aspect.
Don't forget that rare pumpkin spice drink we had which was oozed with a sugary taste.
Well my mom who stopped by with Coffretchi's mom with some baked goods and she advised me to share since she bought a lot.
I also fried a bunch of pizza logs for dinner, was the first time I tried it and they are so good imo.
Yumemitchi and I were killing time at night playing Left 4 Dead on hard mode.
Those damn tanks and witches are such BS enemies.
We have like way too much candy from yesterday and that's not even considering the load Candy Pakupaku ate.
You (Moriritchi) know I couldn't resist! So much candy, I could full my bathtub with it!
Well that's putting a pretty picture in my mind!
Despite what the weather said, it was only rainy in the morning but the afternoon was good!
Safe to say we had a gweat Tamaween this year and with the excitement we had on the weekend too, this will be one of the most memorabwy Octobers for me!

Alright, Tarvek and I are back here now that Halloween is done. Fortunately there was no attack on Paris yesterday from the Other or anyone else. However, I did spend all night awake waiting for one just in case, so I gotta take a nap sometime today. But anyways, I think the dog-guy's name is Girly Tina? Whatever his name is, he has to be taken back to his owner Timmy.
Hmph. Just saying, these guys were better company than Bug Catcher Timmy is. But if I must . . .

Took a while to get back on, sorry.
[1] Been thinking about this for a while now, and I don't think this makes a lot of sense - afaik you can prove that there are statements in mathematics that can neither be proven nor disproven. Besides that, if all provable theorems have really been proven, wouldn't that mean that maths is stagnating? Have there not been any newly developed fields, even practice-oriented ones?
Me, I spent all Halloween evening in my room and not opening the door for trick-or-treating kids. A) I'm still sick, B) I don't have candy, and C) I probably don't have the patience to give out candy.
So uhh, late happy Halloween!

I'm still confused about yesterday. What would a holiday where children dress up in costumes and ask for candy from strangers and adults dress up in costumes and go to parties have to do with a spike in monsters? I suppose it could be entirely coincidental. No matter.

Well in my case it's because us "monsters" can go around in plain sight, since humans think we're just in costume.
The kids wouldn't stop coming, even after they got hit in the face after a ball. I swear, if I hear "STOP POSTING ABOUT BALLER" one more time I'll freak. I like the attention, but it's a little too much. But hey, the costumes were good and I got an excuse to go out as myself.

[1] Does justifying it with tradition explain anything? Because I have no knowledge on the cultural background behind Halloween, and that's the only good explanation I know

Aren’t we a tad to realistic for that? - Monster Under The Bed!Shadow
Mortefi
It could, perhaps. But such a holiday tradition does not exist in my world. Not that it matters. The mystery will have to go unsolved. Alternatively I could ask Xingqiu. He's enough of a nerd to care and research this for days.

Anyway, it’s a holiday where you dress up and they give you free candy! - Monster Under The Bed!Shadow
