1) Woof. These conversations are getting hard to keep track of.

A religious text about equality and acceptance not being well received. Must not be very realistic for humans or something.

2) I’m not sure if that would cause some sort of transdimensional paradox or not. Plus the moral quandaries of forcing a society into peace or death.

3) Should I be insulted that I’m not considered pseudointellectual? That would make me what; intellectual or stupid?

But go ahead. I sort of skipped the game and I don’t really intend to go back and play it.

4) I worded my response to that question the way I did for a reason. You’re not twisting my words.

5) Hi, Sweetie Belle!

1) I played Chu Chu Rocket, Sonic Adventure, one of the Virtual On games, and some Bombermare game. Oh, and I watched somepony else playing Shenmue and Seamares a few times.

Oh wait, that was Dreamcast. Does that count for anything, though?

2) Is this a thing? I can’t tell if you’re doing a bit or not.

3) Yes. No. And they’re actual correctional facilities, not cages.

4) Generally you can be classified under a few levels of ownership, with only certain more expensive items added individually. Also, from year to year it’s cumulative unless you make a note of removing items. It’s not terribly hard to calculate if you’re at all familiar with the forms. First year is always a pain, though.

Food is exempt. Farm crops that yield food are not.

5) I can maybe hear it on some of the more unsettling portions of the song, but I’d have never guessed it myself.

6) Well that explains plenty about you humans. You must be living on a planet of monsters. No wonder you’re so harsh by nature.

This is me. Literally.

1) Never saw the show, to be honest. Heard it was outrageous, though. Truly.

2) You use the ancient remains of the deceased as fuel? And you act like magic is such a strange power…

We didn’t figure anything out. The Ponynet isn’t the same thing as your internet. It’s a magical network for depositing information. When it was first created about a decade ago, we found information already there. Interaction was forbidden until we knew more about you, so those involved just watched and waited.

3) Not really something to brag about.

4) I liked that lady on the drums, but what did I just experience?

5) AH CANNOT! MAI BOOTAY EIS NAWT STRAWNG ENUFF!

6) Catch you on the flip-side, Ponyville! I’m out!

7) Okay (Warning: Explicit Language). No context, so I’ve nothing to add.

1) Well, at first I just liked Krastos for his attitude. I grew to like other things about him as I spent more time with him. We’re not the perfect couple, but I can’t imagine being with anypony else.

2) Thank you, Mister Know-It-All.

Although, I don’t remember seeing those anytime that we visited. You hiding them from me?

3) I’d ask if a king counted, but I don’t think that dude’s coming back.

I suppose it’s possible Nightmare Moon could, though I’d assume in some other form.

4) Oh really? I beg to differ. Of course, this is fantastic too. And I believe I’ve mentioned before how much I love ska.

5) Well, for one thing, I’ve known without a doubt that Bon-Bon is a mare for quite some time. Things you don’t want to walk into your best friend doing.

So, it would have to be in the past. I wouldn’t care, though. She’s my best friend!

6) I have no idea what you’re talking about, as that would assume I was tricked, knocked out, and held captive. Krastos is crazy and none of that ever happened.

… Da [omitted] are you smilin’ at?

B: I didn’t say a word.

[omitted]. And for the record, I don’t believe that [omitted] about a Kraken attack on the west coast keeping you from savin’ me.

B: Your [omitted]’s still recording.

1) Do you really want to go there?

2) If I were to make an attempt at attributing everything to one trait, I’d probably say it’s because we’re herbivores. It’s not in our nature to fight or kill. But your decisions are yours to make; I’d consider that little more than a cop out.

3) And a perfectly valid point. What were you getting at again?

4) Could be. Are you lost in the crowd?

5) You look like Lemon Grab’s camel on PCP. And speaking of drugs-

6) I was at an arcade once and when that popped up this stallion pulled out a little bottle and took some sort of prescription. I wanna say it was something for his heart… Like heartbeat irregularities or something.

I think it was Ninja Turtles, if anypony was curious.

7) Well, that’s one way to look at things.

Oh hey! A new follower! I’ll just check their page to see what they’re all about!

Okay, what is- OH GOD! HUMAN [omitted]! EW! OH NASTY! IT LOOKS LIKE A MEALWORM! U~GH!

[omitted] me sideways!

1) Well, I must be just dastardly.

2) B: Our diet is largely regulated; no coffee. No caffeine at all unless it’s consumption is part of blending in during an operation. CUE operatives can never reveal their identity. That’s not to say we couldn’t meet at some point, you just wouldn’t know who I was. Maybe we’ve already met.

3) No. That’s a terrible pun.

4) Sorry, no. Changing something radical about the world can have unforeseen side-effects. It’s not something I’d risk.

Monkey Paw.

5) I think you accidentally part of the question.

And seriously? Nob-Nob? Does having a reversed personally also polarize common sense?

1) Science book I had growing up said a huge portion of the world beneath the surface was made up of cavities. Maybe things are different for you. For now.

This isn’t Minecraft. The mine-able world is finite and you can’t just start over.

… What are fossil fuels?

2) Ah… I’m not following. What…? Oh! That’s right! You humans can’t control weather!

Hmm… But, wouldn’t that make your world like… the Everfree Forest?

3) … Okay… You bronies remember I used to go to 4chan, right? I used to hang out on /f/. I know about the Cory in the House trolls.

4) No. You’re gonna click this link and you’re gonna watch baby Finn gettin’ down while you listen to the song-clip.

5) Try not to keep saying the would-be recipient’s name so much. Once is enough. Kinda makes it obvious it’s a joke.

Also, not cool. At an absolute maximum Spike’s mental age would be somewhere in the mid to early teens. And he’d probably be measured closer to like… 10. Either way that’s statutory, yo.

6) No, the only question would be how long it takes before we get sued cross-dimensionally.

Besides, I don’t think I could roll with a rap group. I’m about as sharp and edgy as one of those rubber baby spoons.

1) In the sense that I appreciate music with a swing rhythm.

2) I’d rather you didn’t. I don’t mind The Nether so much, but The End scares me. I’ve never even been.

3) To review (in case anypony missed it), because it’s exhausting and unreliable. I’d like to talk to her, though. She’s cool! I wonder if she can understand me, though. She’s liked some of my posts before.

4) Undeniable logic.

5) And mildly cancerous to consume. So the story goes, anyway.

6) Okay. Skip 5. Will do! Thanks!

1) Can be pretty sure I wouldn’t.

2) Oh my Cels! You’re right! There’s weapons everywhere!

I swear… The only way you’re going to find or craft a weapon is through channels that are carefully regulated. Heck, even every ounce of metal a blacksmith uses is carefully tracked by the government.

Best weapon you could muster would be to improv with a kitchen knife or a bat. And the gangs back in Canterlot used to do just that. Wasn’t terribly effective in the short-term. At least to a moving target…

3) I’m not going to scold your decision; I was there once and it’s yours to make. But if you have the time, there are more rewarding avenues than “the easy way.”

4) What’s a “video game?” And Portal 2 sounds like a prescription suppository for diarrhea.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I just finished reading about Dynasty Warriors 8 and I’m psyched. Huang Gai’s default weapon is a [omitted] boat.

5) 1, yes. I pirated it because I didn’t think it would be much, but it turned out to be great, so I felt bad about it. I don’t want to pirate 2. I’d like to buy it legitimately, if I ever get some money, to support the developer.

6) Are you going to just start bringing up everyone that’s ever lived? Because this line of questioning is kind of stale already and it hasn’t even started.

7) Sure did! Was a great show! And that was a good episode!

My favorite was the one where Megadeth showed up and they played Back In The Day.
