1) Didn’t get it. What in Equestria could it possibly be?

2) I haven’t played it. I know about it. I know it’s a fantastic game. But I never got the chance.

3) Well, I suppose it’s possible. Never really thought about it before.

Hee hee. It’s funny, because I’m not really interested in whether I do or not! Guess that’s sort of telling, huh?

4) That depends; how long were you back there?

5) Shrimp Cocktail. This is going to sound really stupid, but I didn’t realize shrimp was meat. I thought it was some kind of undersea plant!

Took one bite and started dry heaving.

6) I clearly own a santa hat, you ding-dong. It’s in my avatar!

7) I suppose so. Something serious that doesn’t involve death.

Checking out the general store and finding out about the Great Khans!

Poor John. He doesn’t see the danger dawning. youtube.com/watch?v…
Nice! The only Primus songs I know are Fisticuffs and Over the Falls. I should really check out more stuff by them; do you have any recommendations or just happen to know that song?
The only other one I really know is Jerry Was A Racecar Driver. There was another one specifically pointed out to me before, but I don’t remember it. The music video for it was so… strange. Which I guess is par for the course with Primus.

I did happen to stumble upon this, though. A Primus cover of Rush’s YYZ, which is for my money, one of the best instrumentals around. Of course, Rush’s version is better, but it’s interesting.

But I hadn’t heard either of the ones you linked before. Thanks! I’m really digging the beat to Over the Falls!

1) I think I can take a hint better than that. Also, what was that pink thing?

2) Don’t feel like logging into my Youtube account and I can’t watch it unless I do.

3) I have no idea who that is, so no.

4) I’m not embarrassed for [omitted], but that’s not polite conversation.

5) Okay. So that was a thing that somepony made.

6) Way to always expect the worst there, Morbid Macabre.

1) That just makes me special.

I’d follow you, if not for the occasional, untagged, NSFW doodle.

2) Well, we’re not exactly here under partying conditions. It’s sort of serious, but I don’t know that I should talk about it.

At the rate things are going though, we’ll wind up being here on the 6th for my birth-…

… Krastos… If this all ends up being some elaborate plot to throw a surprise birthday party for me, I cannot express how [omitted] off I would be.

Oh mare… I must have fallen into a Cheeto/Dorito/Mountain Dew coma after playing CoD for fourteen hours. Is it nighttime again already?

Looks like I have some messages.

1) Well yeah. This is supposed to be an improvement, after all.

2) Pfft. Art is lame. The only thing that matters is dark grays and real… realist… [Cough] [Cough] Sorry, having difficulty even saying that one.

3) I don’t even know who you are. Probably from some artsy game with one of those “story” things. Pfft. I mean, yeah. Pfft. Whatevs.

4) What a forced meme.

5) I don’t know what any of that was. The robot looked like an X-Box, though.

6) What is this garbage? Sissy little slow-paced strategy game? Need to play a big girl’s game like Madden. In fact, forget this. I’m going to go play some tackle football with my friends. You guys are dorks.

I’ll be honest. Sort of had a hard time with these last two posts. Was sort of all over the place. Hard to portray something I know so little about. The “hardcore gamer” is really a human phenomenon, and I guess I sort of abandoned it at the end? I’m not even sure. Plus I’m in Bearville right now so I haven’t had a whole lot of time to prepare.

Anyway, Happy “holiday”-that-is-sort-of-spooky-with-how-well-it’s-received-over-your-internet!

So, I had an epiphany yesterday and have decided to turn this into a regular blog.

It will be about the only kind of video game with any merit; Shooters! But not just any shooter. Online Shooters you’ve probably never even heard of so can’t possibly relate to!

So sit back while I yammer on about Blacklight: Retribution, Firefall, and Warframe; using condescending terminology that you couldn’t possibly comprehend unless you already played the game!

1) Satisfying.

2) How about something less derivative?

3) No. But if I did, I’d wave it around most unsexually. When appropriate.

4) I’ve seen a few. Has a sort of Superjail vibe to it. Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem to work very well. The pilot for it was pretty good.

“Oh no. Undo. Undo.”

5) Hey! That’s not fair! It’s perfectly fine to play pretend. An escape from reality can be very refreshing!

6) Simple is fine. Doing what I can to keep him active. Blue Heelers need a lot of exercise.

7) Poor, home-entertainment recording quality. Sorry.

1) Not very. Hard to swing a bat.

2) B: Any purpose can be made nefarious, if taken to the extreme. We exercise restraint.

3) B: Not at all. Most decline right away, or take it as a joke. And that’s fine.

4) B just sort of shrugged and left. He’s never had a problem with Simple, though.

5) I wouldn’t know.

6) Being insulted is stressful. And stress doesn’t discriminate. It can hurt anyone over anything.
