A video game console released on September 9th, 1999, or "9/9/99." The system ushered in the 128-bit age, with impressive graphics and online capabilities out of the box via a 56k modem.
The system was a huge hit among hardcore gamers and Sega Fanatics. Yet, in 2001, Sega pulled the plug on the system, and consoles were no longer manufactured. Many reasons exist for why the system failed -- no support of certain "critical" publishers, prior failure of the Sega Saturn, the ease with which games could be pirated, and the hype of the looming PS2. During its two year lifespan, over 250 games were released in the U.S. market, and many were hugely successful.
Whatever the reason for its demise, the system lived a life too short, but will always be remembered fondly in the hearts of serious gamers for excellent titles such as Soul Calibur, Sonic Adventure, Power Stone, Shenmue, and Crazy Taxi, just to name a few. We miss you, Dreamcast.

Hey man, I just got a Dreamcast.
Oh yeah, that's that badass system from Sega!
But.. isn't PS2 coming out soon. Why did you buy one?
BE QUIET. Dreamcast has great potential for fun. Gaming is about variety and innovation, and Dreamcast has both.

Get the dreamcast mug.The female equivalent to a sausage fest. Can be any place inundated with females, where few or no men exist; basically a girls' club.

Get the Hemet mug.Place on the western side of Los Angeles, where a bunch of rich, snobby white people live. It has a lame security service called "Palisades Patrol." Residents are often conservative republicans and don't know that anything east of Sepulveda even exists. There is nothing to do there.

Get the pacific palisades mug.A place filled with retired folks, who come to restaurants every night at 5 PM. It's also timeshare heaven for other Southern California residents.

Get the Palm Springs mug.Sometimes known as "costa misery," this area just north of Newport Beach is home to affluent Orange County residents and is actually quite nice. They are not usually as rich as people in NB, yet the area is quite nice. There are some cool parks in and around the city. It's pretty calm, as well.

Get the costa mesa mug.Similar to Fontucky, this is a dirisive name for the city of Fontana, CA. The name is used to emphasize how many supposed rednecks live there.
