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.

Hello there, Gil and person whose name is too many syllables.
...You are *this* close to inflicting Kaveh upon this thread.
Well, you would be the one doing the actual inflicting.

Just call me "Tarvek." It's what everyone else who isn't my employer or employee does.
Also, Aether, what is it that Herr Alhaitham is actually doing here that you're so worried about? It seems to me like he's just talking to people, yet you talk like there's something wrong.

[1] Wait, why would there be a Kirby that would do that? I thought all of them were supposed to be good guys.
That does sounds odd, I'd never would want to encounter a Kirby in a bad mood. aroo.
Did someone take his cake or is it the "American Kirby"? Hehe.

I told him to be nice. It's mostly a joke threat between us. It doesn't really make sense if you're not personally acquainted with both. Kaveh is his roommate. The two don't really get along very well.

Hey guys, it's Itsuka Kendo here. Just got up. How was everyone's weekend so far? Mine was okay. I watched Knock at the Cabin with some of my friends.

Hello, our weekend was pretty nice though I'm still a little tired from the 3 hour walk yesterday.
How was the film? I heard they actually have a part where Strawberry Shortcake: Berry in the Big City is playing in the background lol (though I honestly love that show).
Carmine at the Beach
It was great. Quite scary at parts. I think M. Night Shyamalan has made a comeback as a film director with his most recent movies.

Hello, Itsuka, I'm not sure if we've met before.
On a different note, this morning's paper had a political cartoon depicting me with a big fez with "The Definitely Very Trustworthy Grand Vizier" written on it. I'd be offended if it wasn't, admittedly, kinda funny.
Which reminded me: Are any of you fellas famous where you live? I'm curious because I haven't heard much about it; minus my personal friends, Herr Aether is the only celebrity in this thread I know of. If so, do you know what people are saying about you?

As Venti the bard? Not particularly. I mean, I’m not a nobody. People know me. But it’s nothing compared to the number of people who know me as Barbatos. As for what they’re saying, either literal god worship or pure slander. Very little in-between. But mostly the former. I have a church! Dedicated to me!
And of course you know that I’m well-known. It’s mostly admiration, but there’s always rumours.

...I am the ruler of my home reality I suppose and a large majority of educational programs use my voice program and model as a teacher. Im honestly unsure what they say of me at least since the luddic wars. but before then they called me a witch, monster, abomination against god all the standard things. though I've noticed a few of my expeditions have inspired mythologies of a goddess of knowledge or explorers in less developed realities somehow despite efforts to remain hidden.
I look to the stars... but that's mostly because there isn't anything else interesting

I'm a treasure hunter, and the CEO of a corporation. I think that's enough to make me important! I may be less known than that goody-two-shoes Mario, but it doesn't matter. Deep down, everybody know that i'm the more charming of the two. Even my brother Waluigi is more charismatic and confident than that scaredy cat Luigi.

Used to be infamous for a short period of time in my homeworld for having partial access to both the universes of Touhou and Genshin. Thankfully, I can lead a normal life again - don't ask what happened, I have no idea.
The memory of all people from Stefan's homeworld getting reset is a blatant asspull, and I hate doing it. But I want SI!Stefan's life to go roughly the same way as mine, and I didn't see any other choice
I got my name after the Icarus model constructor mech for pioneering the Dyson Sphere Program, and I'm one of the founders of Exotic Ventures! Yeah, I'd say I'm famous.

Well, regarding famous people, All Might is quite up there, as he was the #1 Pro Hero for a long time. Now currently the spot is taken by Endeavor, who has a reputation for being a jerk despite his efficiency in his work. I probably wouldn't want to be famous though, as too much attention can be dangerous and make you a target. It's best to maintain a low profile, in my opinion.

[1] "All Might", hope this doesn't sound rude but why they have such a simplistic name?
Now here's were would I say "Not everyone needs a complex name like you Candy Pakupaku" but this sounds like a case of "Who Names Their Kid Dude?".
Carmine at the Beach
To be honest, I'm not sure why he chose that as his hero name. Perhaps it conveyed the idea that he would be using his strength to save people. Personally I've never really cared about hero names that much.

TIL that trying to elementally dissolve PET plastics using azoth solute is a bad idea. I now have a silica coated bowl full of uncontrollably polymerized PET, and I can't separate the bowl from its contents.
[1] Hi and welcome! Sorry for not greeting you earlier, that was a bit rude of me. Name's Stefan, and I like to call myself the "self-insert", because as far as I know, I'm the only person in my homeworld who got to meet up with the actual Flandre Scarlet and got my ass kicked in a danmaku battle.
Didn't Knock at the Cabin come out very recently? I think I saw an ad about it on the subway today.
Another question related to Tevyat. Is it possible to take a look at the entrance exam to the Akademiya in advance or do you only get to see it once you try to do the test? Also, how many tries do you get?

Yeah, it came out this weekend. I try to watch as many movies as possible when I have time so I don't have to watch them later. The sooner, the better!

x5 It depends on what Darshan you’re attempting to get into, and the year, from what I’ve heard. I personally only took the Haravatat one, which was less an exam and more an essay. However, my roommate is Kshahrewar, and he tells me the exam was essentially a (very difficult) math and physics test. As for attempts, as many as you need, but only once a semester.

[1] That game he's talking about is supposed to be a successor to your old platform series Wario Land.
Of course that would happen whenever a franchise goes stagnant, someone tries to revive it in their "own way".
Copy cats been a thing since the dawn of media. Our franchises have a fair share of clones too.
