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.

Why don't you like euphemisms? They're a way to be both polite and funny at the same time!
For example, among my folks, "family reunion" is a nicer euphemism for the scene of a murder. It's a way to be polite, you know? Yet it also gets the point across.

I do not feel that politeness is necessary. And humour is necessary even less.

I have committed 16 acts of burger time.
He can, however, feel sad, like when his wife left him.

It would be disrespectful not only to my fallen fellow Yakashas but also to Morax himself to use euphemistic terms for what I do.

Impressive! If I knew where you were, I'd give you a slice of cake!
Someone we know is more impressive-er, right? We should go get him!

Good morning everyone, hope everyone's day is going better than mine. I woke up with a severe headache from not being able to sleep due to realizations that bad things are gonna end up happening in the world regardless of how hard you try to prevent them.

Do humans really lose sleep over stuff like that? Just deal with what you can instead of tormenting yourself over things you have no control over. Humans don't live long enough to constantly worry over stuff like that.
Mortefi
I don’t sleep. If I sleep, I fear that I will finally succumb to my karmic debt when I’m unable to consciously fight it. Besides, I don’t need sleep.

Not most of us. At least not where I'm from - and that's not just the Spark talking (if anything Sparks can sometimes be too wide-eyed), people here generally accept that things suck.
Oh, and Marnie, I wouldn't loose sleep over that, unless things suck because of something you did or failed to do. If you're powerless to fix everything, the most you can do is try to preserve those glimmers of goodness we still have. As an author that I have no way of knowing about once put it, we're fighting the long defeat against evil, with glimpses of final victory.

Yeah, there are worse things to lose sleep over, like the fact that your entire life can crumble instantly with the potential to lose everyone you love. - Monster Under The Bed!Shadow
