The death of the dreamcast. I loved that console.

Ditto. It would be hard nowadays to make a valid argument for your love of all things SEGA. Throughout their entire time as console makers, Sega were rivaling Nintendo as top dogs of first party development. Even after the Dreamcast got flushed, SEGA was on a roll for a few years. Then Sammy happened. End of SEGA.
I'd say the hardest time is still to come. Just wait till your a fan of a company that doesn't exist anymore...
I always look for a woman who has a tattoo. I see a woman with a tattoo, and I’m thinking, okay, here’s a gal who’s capable of making a decision she’ll regret in the future.

Yeah, it makes me sad when I think about it. The Megadrive/Genesis was an excellent system and could rival the SNES. Sega games generally were polished and innovative. Now, they rush their prime franchises for a quick buck.

Most of their best offerings nowadays aren't even developed by them. Condemned and Bleach, two of their best games, are only published by them. Their biggest upcoming game is being developed by Bioware. It's like SEGA doesn't trust themsevles to make their own games anymore. Only AM-2 is still dropping gold, with Virtua Fighter 5. I wonder what they've got next up their sleeve.
When i wanted a Dreamcast in 2000 but didn't get it cuz i knew it wasn't gonna be around. I saw how things when in the previous generation and was a PS1 owner but longed for the days of my Sega Genesis. I saw that Sega made a great console in the Dreamcast and if they hadn't alienated so many people during the Saturn days that console would have survived...
But alas, things aren't always as you wish them...
