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.

I know what it's like to meet a different version of myself since that happened to me in our cartoon before.
It's like having a twin in a different timeline.

When traveling in an Ultra Wormhole, I was able to see alternate versions of myself in different realities. A lot of them had different personalities from me. One of them was even a Genki Girl who dyed her hair blonde. I could never imagine myself doing that, but small changes in past events can cause a large difference in outcome.

I wonder what alternate versions of me might look like...
Well, this seems like a cool thread. Might as well join. Hope ya’ll are doing well!

Hello you, i'm happy to see you. I'm a Toad... Wait, am I really just one bland Toad ?
I wonder if there's an alternate version of his majesty Princess Peach where she is an evil dictator (it gives me the chills just thinking about it, i'm pretty sure she'd execute her citizens with Chomps or Thwomps or things like that. Terrifying).

Yeah, sometimes I think there's a completely different version of me out there in the multiverse who's a ditzy Cloudcuckoolander but she's gorgeous and popular. One can think about different possibilities, but it can become too mind-boggling to think about when you get into different string theories regarding multiverse stuff.

The usual. He keeps wanting me to give my powers up... except he is a complete creeper, and keeps saying that he wants me for himself. Thankfully he won't be on this thread.
But you'll still have to cope with me being on this thread, my darling!
...yet somehow, I have to cope with the Dark Prince being on this thread.

[1] Aaaaaaaaaaaaah, sorry for taking so long! To answer your question, it depends on what kind of vehicle you need - we wouldn't let you pilot a fighter or any armed craft out of principle, but we're already letting you pilot explorer robots. What do you need?
Tama May Cry 4: Order of the Toons
Hey, remember that one time we had that sick car Kiraritchi?
Yeah and I also remember that our Tama friends almost got thrown in a giant garbage dump cause your dad's lab is nuthouse (no offense).
Hahaha! I can relate since the Professor sometimes makes crazy stuff in his lab too!

We rescind our view that “all humans are bad”, but there are definitely some odd things about them. They’re working themselves to death for peanuts all while thinking you have to do that for a good life, but actually, it’s just the elites who want them to be near-slaves. At least everyone here either isn’t human or doesn’t need to work with the “usual” jobs.
…well that was a pretty intense viewpoint.
Tempest has logged on.
[threaten]: “all the good-for-nothing billionaires in our timeline’s Earth”. And…done! If you’re wondering what that was and who I am, I’m Tempest the savage gravedigger(pretty much a bird-badger). And that right there was a device that runs on “karma” because apparently I’m the one whose job it is to give it out. And that “our timeline” bit ensures it won’t effect anything else.
Cambrian animals sure are weird, am I right?

I know that I promised to not post here anymore, but i'll just say that this is the most obvious Author Tract i've never seen.
Althought it's not really false, i'll say.

Tama May Cry 4: Order of the Toons
Good morning! Today is my birthday!! aroo.
Happy birthday Hapihapitchi!! You're such a great little sister!
Hope your birthday is filled with happiness (heh)! I've always wondered though, how come most Tama pets are more like actual pets but Hapihapitchi is like a sibling to Mametchi and her?
Merfolk, often worried
Happy birthday to you. You're lucky, I don't even know when my birthday is, since i'm just some random Toad.
Your birthday is whenever you feel like it, then.
Cibrylls have trouble picking which avatar to use at times, so it changes on a whim at times~
Merfolk, often worried
Wait, really ? I can do that ? I thought birthdays were things that are fixed.
In the sense of, if you don't know when your birthday is, just pick a random date for it…
You don't know when your birthday is? Pick a random date and celebrate it on that date. That sort of thing.
Merfolk, often worried
Okay ! Let me just find a good date for a birthday...
Tama May Cry 4: Order of the Toons
How about September 13? If you remember what that day was!
Considering how that was also when two other major characters debuted that day, I don't think all three of them would share it on the same day sis.
Merfolk, often worried
I know ! It'll be April 5, I heard that a very important game in the Mario series was released at this date. I also heard that the dialogues in this game are so well made that a lot of people quote it.

Yet it was very important for all the WRONG reasons...!
The gameplay was a MESS!
The animation for the cutscenes aged like sweaty gym socks.
And to top it all off, it released on a non-Nintendo console! The Philips CDI, which sold VERY poorly!

Merfolk, often worried
Uh... Really ? I've also heard that this game give enclosed instruction books, which look pretty nice, and that it has a good voice acting. If the game is really that bad, then i'll have to change my birthday date before the other Toads know it, or else i'll never hear the end of it.

Ah, takes me back to spending the days with The Forces of Evil.
Don't forget the time we had to search for The Wand of Gamelon!

Meet the Tamas!◊ This is where it will end, by my hand.
Now look at that, my cartoon version is here. I actually tried my hands at this "Mean Beans"-thing myself and... It didn't work out as expected.
I'm not as skilled as him, I suppose.
