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.

That said, I will still be participating.

In response to the first poster's question, yes I am a "weeaboo" in both aspects. Though I have yet to gain enough funding to move to the utopia of the east, I was born in America and have been able to confirnm that at least one of my ancestors was japanese. Additionlly I am a "weeaboo" in the sense that I consider Japan's culture to be one of the most rich and profound in the world.

However, haters such as yourselves should refrain from such childish namecalling. "Weeaboo" sounds like something out of a television show for mentally ill toddlers. Maybe you grew up on this theoretical baby show? I look down on you and your stupidity, which I blame on a poor education system.

Oh, thanks, guy who showed me those sites!

Uh... person above me, what are you talking about? Are Japan and the West locations? What's a Weeaboo?

I'm surprised by your ignorance, Reccette. Japan is the country you hail from, and one of the finest countries in the world.

The West is composed of Everything past Eastern Europe, but mainly refers to Western Europe and the United States.

Weeaboo is a derogatory term used by Westerners to denote those who are either descendants of members of both regions or individuals in the West who have a love for Japan's rich and beautiful culture, such as myself. Even the simplest things in Japan are wonderous. Take for instance, the simple snack known as pocky. It should be no surprise to anyone with a passing familiarity with vidcons that pocky is the ideal food to snack on when playing mentioned objects ( although 'playing' is an inappropriate word, becuase you experience, rather than play, a vidcon: I shall use 'playing' for the sake of simplicity). For those ignorant to the intricacies of this fine Japanese cuisine, imagine a delicate stick of sweetened bread about the width and length of a chopstick, its tip coated in the richest chocolate imaginable. The bold flavor of the chocolate is complimented by the small nuts that caress the tip, creating a culinary juxtaposition of sweetness and saltiness that can only have been hatched in the mind of a chef versed in the subtle paradoxes of Eastern cooking. They are light and easy to eat and hold, useful for vidconning on the go, and their sugar content add that extra boost for late night vidcons. Therefore, pocky has garnered itself the precious title of "Ultimate Vidcon Snack". Perhaps the only drawback of pocky is its limited availability in the West, though this cannot be attributed to the snack itself, but the infuriating baboons that think they are running grocery stores.

But I come from a town called Pensee. I've never heard of Japan until now.

Then perhaps I am mistaken. Unless Pensee is in the glorious country of Japan.

I don't think so... I probably would've heard of that by now.

Ah. My mistake then. From what I know of your homeland, its culture is very similar to Japan's.

I wouldn't really know, since I don't know what Japan's culture is. I wonder if Tear knows...

Wait, how do you know my name? Tear told me that I have to use a screename thingy, and not my real name. So I used a screename, so how did you know my real name?
