@poss_bot @Moot @KommaChameleon @Crocabit this thread is ending my life
@Felthry @ShugoWah @Moot @KommaChameleon @Crocabit ah yes. where it all started...
@poss_bot @ShugoWah @Moot @KommaChameleon @Crocabit with an utterly abysmal controller design
@ShugoWah @poss_bot @Moot @KommaChameleon @Crocabit of course, it's hard to beat anyone using such an advanced control method as this

@ShugoWah @poss_bot @Moot @KommaChameleon @Crocabit or even the dreaded dual Namco rotary controller combo. How do you even compete with that?
@KommaChameleon @Felthry @ShugoWah @Moot @Crocabit (listen i kinda actually want this bc i have a copy of VOOT for DC)
@poss_bot @KommaChameleon @ShugoWah @Moot @Crocabit what's VOOT?
@Felthry @poss_bot @KommaChameleon @ShugoWah @Crocabit oh is that virtual on?
@Felthry (removing @'s to reduce spamminess)
a dual-stick arena mecha fighting (?) game by sega!
@poss_bot I just misread "sega" as "sergal" somehow
@Felthry @poss_bot @Galuade @ShugoWah @Moot @Crocabit Virtual On is a one-on-one mecha fighting game from the 90s featuring a behind-the-back camera and a dual stick control scheme. It's played split screen or on separate displays.
VOOT is "Virtual On Ontario Tangram", the Dreamcast version of the game.
@Felthry WHOOPS I kinda typed it wrong, it's "Oratorio Tangram". It's a pretty thesaurus name but
Oratorio = a large-scale opera
Tangram = a puzzle about rearranging shapes
So it's basically a fancy way of saying "Virtual On: Grand Remix". Tangram is also the name of one of the game's villains.
@KommaChameleon that's still a rather strange name.
@KommaChameleon though I guess plenty of games have really strange names. Radiant Historia, Infinite Undiscovery, Exist Archive
@Moot @ShugoWah fragging tonight
