Ok here is the start off

How did everyone enjoy the recent holidays?

[Inferno_Dragon]

Why do you ask, Fett One?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Is it because he wants to know if we had a nice holiday?

[Fett One]

What's wrong with wanting to know if people enjoyed their holiday?

[Inferno_Dragon]

What if those people had a horrible holiday and didn't want to tell you how it went?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Did you know that I didn't have a horrible holiday at all?

[Dark-San]

Do you guys want to know my version of a horrible holiday? Do you know that I considered my last holiday as one of the worst that I had ever went through?

[Master of Paradox]

Why is that?

[Fett One]

What happen on your holiday Dark-San?

[Inferno_Dragon]

Did anything exciting happen, Dark-San?

And Fett One, did you know that you made a grammatical error?

[Master of Paradox]

Maybe he was trying to quote Zero Wing?

[Fett One]

What is zero wing?

[Inferno_Dragon]

Are you talking about that game that refers to the famous video game quote All Your Base Are Belong To Us?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Is it possible that he quoted it without knowing he quoted it?

[Master of Paradox]

Do you recall another line from that game is "What happen?"

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Don't you know I am the same as Fett One in that we both didn't know what Zero Wing is? Did you know that I have heard (or should I say read) "All Your Base Are Belong To Us" only here at TPM? Did you know that I have always wondered where that quote comes from?

[Inferno_Dragon]

Could it be that when they translated the words from Japanese to English that there were several grammatical errors? Don't we see that often in video games?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

"Are this guy sick?"

Is it clear that I don't mean anyone here at TPM here?

[Fett One]

Mikachu Yukitatsu, what are you referring to?

[Inferno_Dragon]

Could he still be referring to Zero Wing?

[mr_pikachu]

Are you saying that Mikachu set up us the bomb?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

"Are this guy sick?"

Is it clear that I referred to Final Fantasy VII?

[Inferno_Dragon]

Who said that in Final Fantasy 7, Mikachu Yukitatsu?

[Fett One]

Wasn't it near the beginning of the game, concerning that sick guy in the pipe?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

May I quote it if it originally wasn't a question? Didn't Aeris say 'This guy are sick.'?

[Master of Paradox]

Anyone else wish they'd gotten a better translator for that game?

[Fett One]

Why do you need a translator? Couldn't you buy the game in the language that you speak?

[mr_pikachu]

Don't you know that we're talking about games being translated poorly into the languages we speak? Isn't it clear that games that originate in Japan and are translated into English for Western audiences sometimes have poor translations? What would you suggest gamers do about it?

[Inferno_Dragon]

Since when are there other versions of FFVII in different languages?

[mr_pikachu]

Haven't you ever heard the names of the people who work on Final Fantasy? Do you recognize people like 北瀬 佳範, 坂口 博信, 直良 有祐, 野島 一成, and 植松 伸夫?

Does that look like English to you?

[Master of Paradox]

Is he serious? Are there really people who didn't know Final Fantasy originated in Japan?

[Knight of Time]

Why is it that many games are first released in Japan before they are released everywhere else? Do they always want to be the first to fully play any new game?

[Inferno_Dragon]

First of all, did I say that I didn't know that Final Fantasy was released in Japan? Could my question be asking about other countries other than Japan, U.SA or England?

And isn't Japan the place where most of our video games come from? Isn't Japan where we got most of our products from?

[Fett One]

Why do are most video games made in Japan? Why can't they be made in other countries?

[Master of Paradox]

Perhaps it's due to the Great Crash of '83 having given Japan a head start?

[Inferno_Dragon]

What is the Giant Crash of '83?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Wasn't that when Atari and other American video game companies crashed?

[Fett One]

What caused them to crash?

[Inferno_Dragon]

Could it be that people didn't like their video games anymore?

[Fett One]

Why did people not like american games but liked japanese games?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Am I wrong if I say at least videogame musics improved when Nintendo came to the picture?

[Inferno_Dragon]

Why would you think that you are wrong because you said that?

[Fett One]

What does music have to do with how good a game plays?

[mr_pikachu]

Is it similar to how high-quality music is essential to a good anime?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Isn't making videogames a form of art these days?

[mr_pikachu]

Should we call it an amalgamation of many different arts? That it, doesn't it combine many different artistic forms, from art to music and from textual scripting to action directing? In that sense, isn't it a higher level of art than those media which utilize far fewer styles?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Who does not agree with mr_pikachu?

[Master of Paradox]

Why would a person disagree?

[Inferno_Dragon]

What if they had a different opinion?

[Fett One]

Do you have a different opinion?

[Master of Paradox]

And if so, what is it?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Wouldn't it be something like "Since when are video games art?"? But did you know that at least I regard them as art just as mr_pikachu does?

[Inferno_Dragon]

What is wrong with calling video games art?

[Master of Paradox]

Why don't you ask Roger Ebert?

[Fett One]

What does Roger Ebert think about video games?

[Inferno_Dragon]

Why would Roger Ebert care about Video Games? Isn't he a film critic?

[Fett One]

Why can't film critics have opinions about video games?

[darktyranitar]

Do they even have time to play video games?

[Inferno_Dragon]

Why wouldn't they? Don't they have time to do other things beside watching and reviewing movies?

[Master of Paradox]

Does it matter when you realize Ebert hates video games?

[Fett One]

What makes you think he hates video games?

[Inferno_Dragon]

Why would he hate video games?

[Knight of Time]

Why would he even rate the video games in the first place if he hates them? Doesn't that sound a little illogical?

[darktyranitar]

Who/what is Ebert?

[Inferno_Dragon]

Don't you that he is one of the most famous film critics? Have you been hiding under a rock?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Where does he live anyway? Could it be that he is not known in Malaysia and Finland?

[Fett One]

Didn't you know he lives in the United States?

[Inferno_Dragon]

What if he didn't know that?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

How could I know where Ebert lives if I don't have an idea what or who he is at all?

[Master of Paradox]

Maybe you could have asked me?

[Fett One]

Didn't he ask who he is?

[Heald]

Why didn't you tell him?

[Inferno_Dragon]

What if he didn't want to tell him?

[Master of Paradox]

Wait, when was I asked that?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Isn't this confusing? But do you remember it was darktyranitar who asked that originally?

[Fett One]

Where has darktyranitar been during this how conversation?

[Inferno_Dragon]

Could it be that he was napping through this whole conversation?

[Master of Paradox]

Has he given up on this game?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Given up? Have you noticed that darktyranitar has posted only 2 posts in the whole version?

[Knight of Time]

Is it possible darktyranitar is too busy for this game most of the time, like me? Does anyone realize my weeks here are very busy outside of TPM too?

[Inferno_Dragon]

What is wrong with that? Is there a problem with having a life outside of TPM?

[Fett One]

Shouldn't everyone have a life outside of TPM?

[Master of Paradox]

Why should we when life on TPM is less of a hassle?

[mr_pikachu]

Should we ever let real life get in the way of TPM?

[Fett One]

How do you plan to keep real life from interfering with TPM?

[Master of Paradox]

Would you be surprised if I didn't?

[Inferno_Dragon]

Why would we be surprised?

[darktyranitar]

Where is everyone? Are you guys celebrating Chinese New Years or something?

[Master of Paradox]

Why has this part of the board gone so dead, anyway?

[Inferno_Dragon]

Could it be that some of the members are too busy to post here?

[Fett One]

How long will they be busy?

[mr_pikachu]

Why are you all so negative? Haven't you seen the thoroughly active games and string of polls that keep popping up? Don't you realize that in some respects the activity of PCG is actually increasing?

[Inferno_Dragon]

How was suggesting that most of the TPM members being busy considered negative? Can an opinion be considered negative?

Do you think I don't know that activity has increased here with the new games and polls?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Where are Crazy Elf Boy and Dark-san? And what about MY absence? Have you read my topic in misc for explanation?

[Fett One]

How did you end up teaching japanese? Why do you need so much prep time to teach it? Shoulnd't it only take a few days to make a lesson plan for only 2 days of teaching?

[Inferno_Dragon]

Could it be that Mikachu needed some extra credit?

[Lady Vulpix]

How many languages does Mikachu speak?

[Dark Dragonite]

did mikachu miss me?

[Inferno_Dragon]

Why would ask that question, Dark Dragonite?

[Lady Vulpix]

Did Dark Dragonite even talk to Mikachu before?

[Master of Paradox]

Would anyone miss me if I vanished?

[Inferno_Dragon]

Are you that important here to be missed, Master of Paradox?

[Fett One]

So a person has to be important in order to be missed? When did that happen?

[Master of Paradox]

Is it just my low self-esteem talking?

[Inferno_Dragon]

Why do you think you have low self-esteem, Master of Paradox?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Dark Dragonite, can you imagine I am sorry because I ment Dark-San, not you?

[Master of Paradox]

You think Dark-San cares at this point?

[Inferno_Dragon]

What if he does?

[Fett One]

How long do we have to wait to find out what Dark-San thinks?

[Master of Paradox]

Will he actually say?

[Inferno_Dragon]

How should I know? Do I look like a mind reader to you?

[Lady Vulpix]

Will he even reply if he doesn't care?

[Fett One]

Shouldn't he reply anyway?

[Inferno_Dragon]

What if he doesn't want to reply?

[Master of Paradox]

Can you think of a reason why not?

[Crazy Elf Boy]

Maybe he just doesn't care anymore?

[mr_pikachu]

Should someone PM him and demand a response?

[Fett One]

Are you volunteering to do it?

[mr_pikachu]

Why would I do something like that?

[Inferno_Dragon]

Could it be that you suggested the idea, mr_pikachu?

[mr_pikachu]

Does suggesting an idea necessitate one's following through with it?

[Fett One]

Why not? Is there a reason why you don't want to?

[Crazy Elf Boy]

Maybe he has better stuff to do?

[Inferno_Dragon]

What kind of stuff are we talking about?

[Crazy Elf Boy]

Maybe he has like 50 episodes of anime to catch up on?

[Master of Paradox]

So he's like me, then?

[Inferno_Dragon]

So does that mean that mr_pikachu's a procrastinator?

[Fett One]

How does having 50 episodes of anime to watch make a person a procrastinator? Couldn't it simply mean he doesn't have enough time to watch it? How do we know he even has unwatched anime to begin with?

[Crazy Elf Boy]

Do you have any suggestions on what he is doing then?

[Inferno_Dragon]

Why should we wonder what he is doing anyways?

[mr_pikachu]

Am I really that interesting?

[Master of Paradox]

Are you getting a swelled head?

[Inferno_Dragon]

What would a swelled head look like?

[Fett One]

Would a person even realize that they have a swelled head?

[mr_pikachu]

Can the flu and related congestion cause your head to swell? Did you know that I'm recovering from the flu?

[Inferno_Dragon]

Don't you know that I am also suffering from a cold? Are the flu and cold really that different?

[Fett One]

Doesn't the flu make you a lot sicker than a cold?

mr_pikachu, is the flu the reason you haven't been posting lately?

[Crazy Elf Boy]

Does he have to answer you question?

[Inferno_Dragon]

Why shouldn't he?

[Crazy Elf Boy]

Maybe he feels that he doesn't need to disclose his personal life to you?

[Inferno_Dragon]

Is that a good enough reason?

And why did you break a rule in this game? Why didn't you wait for someone else to post?

[mr_pikachu]

Don't you know that the five-posts-a-day rule applies to this game and not the wait-for-two-people-to-post rule, Inferno?

[Inferno_Dragon]

Would it be helpful if I said I am very sorry? Would it be helpful if I said I get easily confused? Would that be helpful?

[Master of Paradox]

Would it matter if you did apologize?

[Fett One]

Shouldn't it matter?

[Inferno_Dragon]

So are you saying that my apology to Crazy Elf Boy is worthless?

[mr_pikachu]

Don't actions speak louder than words?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

What should Inferno_Dragon do instead of words, then?

[Inferno_Dragon]

Should I post a video on YouTube saying I am sorry 1,000 times?

[Fett One]

If you do, will you provide us all with a link?

[Crazy Elf Boy]

How long would it go for?

[mr_pikachu]

Would you say you're sorry one thousand times, or would the video merely loop a smaller amount so that it seems like that much?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Wouldn't it be quite boring to watch? Wouldn't it be a lot worse than the reason itself, I mean why he is sorry?

[Crazy Elf Boy]

Isn't because he got annoyed at me posting after another person after i had posted before said person?

[mr_pikachu]

Does that sentence make syntactical sense? And do you know what syntactical means? Should I have just used the synonym syntactic?

[Crazy Elf Boy]

What does syntactic mean?

[mr_pikachu]

Why don't you look up "syntactic" and "syntactical" in the dictionary?

[Master of Paradox]

What if he can't find a dictionary?

[Inferno_Dragon]

Couldn't he use an online dictionary on the internet?

[Fett One]

How reliable are online dictionaries?

[firepokemon]

How reliable is the internet connection?

[Inferno_Dragon]

How reliable is any internet connection? Is there times when you have a full signal at one point and then you have a dead signal at another point?

[Crazy Elf Boy]

What about internet connections that have a good download speed?

[Master of Paradox]

You mean ones that aren't mine?

[Inferno_Dragon]

Which ones would that be, Master of Paradox?

[Fett One]

What if his modem/network card is simply broken and that is why he has a losey connection?

[firepokemon]

What if the internet is engulfing his soul and burying his mind of intelligence?

[Inferno_Dragon]

How can the internet do that?

[Fett One]

Could some kind of super computer virus be capable of doing that?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Why not?

And why doesn't anyone ask how the Japanese course went?

[Sheik]

Does anybody care how the Japanese course went?

[Inferno_Dragon]

Doesn't someone at least care about the Japanese?

[firepokemon]

How did you go in your Japanese course?

[Sheik]

If you mis-typed Japanese into Japanties, what would that insinuate?

[Fett One]

Who would misspell it as Japanties?

[Crazy Elf Boy]

Some one who is dyslexic?

[Inferno_Dragon]

Is anybody here dyslexic?

[firepokemon]

What is dyslexia?

[Crazy Elf Boy]

Isn't that were you can't read or spell well?

[Inferno_Dragon]

Isn't that being illiterate? Isn't dsylexia having to do with numbers and letters reversed?

[Crazy Elf Boy]

Maybe someone else will know?

[Master of Paradox]

Aren't you aware "numbers and letters reversed" is just the Hollywood version of dyslexia?

[mr_pikachu]

Don't you know that "dyslexia" describes a difficulty in decoding words and letters? And were you aware that the reversal and transposition of characters like b's and p's is not a defining characteristic of dyslexia?

[Inferno_Dragon]

How do you know this, mr_pikachu?

[mr_pikachu]

Do you have any friends with dyslexia? Would you believe that I had a few in high school?

[Crazy Elf Boy]

Isn't there like a "cure" for dyslexia?

[Inferno_Dragon]

How can you cure a mental disease? Is that only way to get rid of a mental disease is by various psychological and structural method?

[mr_pikachu]

How would there be a cure for it? Do you have any idea how it's treated?

[Master of Paradox]

Why don't you tell us?

[Fett One]

Why doesn't he get his friends (the ones with deslexia) to provide an answer?

[mr_pikachu]

Do you think I maintain regular contact with everyone I knew in high school?

[Inferno_Dragon]

Does anybody maintain regular contact with people they knew in high school?

[Crazy Elf Boy]

What if no one took the time to stay in contact?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Is it off topic if I say the course went great? Can you imagine there were some beautiful anime fangirls too?

[Inferno_Dragon]

What type of anime do they watch?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Isn't it obvious they at least HAD WATCHED Pokémon, Silver Fang, Sailor Moon, Neon Genesis Evanglion and other animes available in Finland? Can you believe one of them said she had watched anime since she was four or something? But now with Internet and everything, isn't it probable that they watch also some animes what they show in Japan only?

[mr_pikachu]

Did you watch yaoi with them?

[Inferno_Dragon]

What is yaoi exactly?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Are you disappointed if I say no? Can I say we only watched a hanzi video, Final Fantasy X-2 intro Real Emotion and a Final Fantasy VII video I had collected with Movie Maker?

[firepokemon]

Why are females obsessed with two boys making out?

[mr_pikachu]

Would you watch two girls making out?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

How did mr_pikachu manage to turn the conversation to sexual minorities?

[mr_pikachu]

Why are you blaming it on me?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Didn't you mention yaoi in the first place? But who says I'm blaming you? What's wrong with talking about sexual minorities? Isn't it good that we can talk about them?

[Sheik]

Is it bad that I'm included in a sexual minority?

[Inferno_Dragon]

Why would you? And is someone going to explain what yaoi is?

[Fett One]

Why don't you do a google search to find out?

[firepokemon]

Inferno Dragon when two boys make out they are gay, are they not? Thus, would you not say yaoi i a japanese term for manga and anime dealing with young bi-shounen boys making out?

Was that a too simplistic argument?

And would watching two females making out make me any less gay?

[Inferno_Dragon]

Why wouldn't it?

And why would you want to watch an anime about two guys making out?

[firepokemon]

Well, wouldn't you say its better than tentacle rape?

[Fett One]

Tentacle rape? Do I even want to know what you are referring to?

[Inferno_Dragon]

Fett One, do you even want to know anyways? Can't you just be blissfully ignorant about certain things?

[mr_pikachu]

Does he need to see a picture as a demonstration?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Can we post that kind of pictures even after we saw what happened in Miscellaneous Stuff?

[mr_pikachu]

What happened in Miscellaneous?

[Crazy Elf Boy]

Is this conversation getting to weird for anyone else?

[mr_pikachu]

What's weird about it?

[Inferno_Dragon]

What is wrong with weird things?

[mr_pikachu]

Is it bad to be socially unacceptable by living outside the norms of society? Do we place more value on normalcy or on uniqueness?

[Fett One]

Doesn't the average person place value on normalcy?

[Inferno_Dragon]

What is normalcy? Is there anything normal in this world anyways?

[firepokemon]

What would be considered unusual in this day of media saturation and visual exposure?

[Sheik]

Maybe normalcy means the standards by which people conduct their lives? Maybe people who deviate from that are considered abnormal or weird? Do you think they should be considered this way?

[Inferno_Dragon]

Can weird people also be consider unique?

[Fett One]

Aren't all people unique?

[Sheik]

Isn't it sad how society tends to isolate those that don't fit the norms?

[Inferno_Dragon]

Why is that anyways? Do we fear things that aren't standard?

[Crazy Elf Boy]

Isn't it because people make us think that normal is good and everything else is bad?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

What happened in Miscellaneous?

Don't you remember the pictures in this topic? (http://www.pokemasters.net/forums/showthread.php?t=16741&page=2)

[Master of Paradox]

Why do you assume we all check Miscellaneous?

[Fett One]

How many people visit Miscellaneous?

[firepokemon]

Is there something wrong with miscellaneous?

[mr_pikachu]

Is there anything wrong with being one of the most active forums on TPM?

[Knight of Time]

What if PCG was to become as active as Miscellaneous Stuff? Would that bring change on TPM?

[Inferno_Dragon]

How could PCG become as active as Misc.? Is there a certain method or procedure?

[Crazy Elf Boy]

Wouldn't that make it bad for TPM? Isn't miscellaneous not very active?

[Fett One]

Since when has miscellaneous been inactive?

[Inferno_Dragon]

Can't you check the various topics on Misc and determine whether it has been active or inactive?

[Crazy Elf Boy]

Didn't I mean a lot less people post there, as opposed to PCG?

[firepokemon]

What would make it easier for people to post in Miscellaneous?

[Inferno_Dragon]

What do you post in Misc.?

[Fett One]

What doesn't he post in misc?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Are long replies scary?

[Crazy Elf Boy]

Why did you ask that Mikachu?

[Master of Paradox]

Maybe he just doesn't do enough long replies to know?

[firepokemon]

Maybe long messages are unnecessary threads of information. Engaged in such a way as to evoke fits or rage?

[Inferno_Dragon]

How would you know this?

[mr_pikachu]

Maybe long messages are unnecessary threads of information.

What's the point of non-questions in this game?

[Master of Paradox]

Is it possible he was trying to bend the rules?

[mr_pikachu]

What's the difference between bending and breaking the rules?
