Rarity has a last name, so it’s not her problem. Anypony with knowledge on the subject would immediately point that out and crush her opinion as being irrelevant. That might discredit her overall voice in the long run.

I wouldn’t want a long shot to most likely end up hurting her in the process.

Have you been to Canterlot? That trick might work on the everymare, but the upper crust really doesn’t care.

They don’t care much about anything or anypony that isn’t them.

Also, sorry, but I have to say it.

Yeah…

I might be well enough to see you this weekend sometime.

I don’t know.

Look, I just don’t want you getting sick too. We’ll be fine. I think the worst of it is over anyway.

Uh… That’d be fine. But I don’t want you coming over here and getting sick too.

1) You were fine. I don’t blame you.

2) Okay.

3) I liked watching others play, but I was never very good myself.

4) It is pretty dang awesome. In fact, I’ve touched upon it some time ago. And that wasn’t the only time.

5) I don’t appreciate ponies pushing against me to see what they can get away with.

6) I suppose we could. Thanks. That’s a nice idea.

7 & 8) I never yelled at you. I just asked you to stop. Don’t try and play the victim with me.

9) I can understand that position. In a lot of ways it’s a matter of the shear amount of effort you put in giving you a greater invested reward. When you spend a long, long time on something, don’t you feel really good when it’s finished to a level you feel satisfied with (homework and work-work not withstanding)? That’s the fundamental idea behind it versus an alternate multiplayer game. But a good MMO has to offer something that makes the experience not so tedious. That’s where story and innovative gameplay come in. The game needs to either be able to immerse you, or just be really, really fun.

Star Wars: The Old Republic has a really good story to keep you interested when you aren’t playing heavily with others. But to be honest, I don’t really favor how it plays. It’s very WoW-ish, which is extremely boring with a whole bunch of moves you don’t even need.

City of Ponies lets you heavily customize how your character looks and plays while (and this is key) remaining balanced. Champions Online fails in this by forgetting to remain balanced despite being even more customizable than City of Ponies.

But MMOs aren’t for everypony, and I won’t pretend they are.

And if you can find them, go right the [omitted] ahead.

You want to know the truth? I can’t let go. I can’t ignore it. I can’t tell myself enough that I’m never going to find them. I’ve spent years talking to contacts, spending money I don’t have, trying to find something, anything that might tell me-…

…

But there’s always that stupid spark in the back of my head. That yearning that it was… justified somehow. That one day they’ll find me and explain everything and they’ll love me and support me and help me get a real job and I won’t have to constantly owe others and…

…

[Sniff]

…

I… I hate it. I hate them…

…

1) If we got married in another country, then it would be recognized by the other country. Perfectly fine if I wanted to move away and never come back, but citizens of Equestria are liable to its laws regardless of where they are.

And I already said I can’t legally change my name; it’s not supported by Equestrian law. All you can do is drop your surname, of which I don’t have or this wouldn’t be an issue to begin with.

I don’t know if you’re trying to help or not, but please just stop.

2) Seems to be a cold, but it’s not letting up yet. Not severe enough to be another Upper Respiratory Infection, though.

Princess Celestia doesn’t just clap her hooves together and change a law on a whim; that’s something a dictator does. She oversees the law making process, but she lets greater Equestrian society handle the rest.

Ponyville is a pretty understanding society. There’s a decent chance it might pass here. But this would be a national law, since the current one in place is. It would have to be accepted across the entire country. Canterlot would probably be the single largest force to strike it down, but it wouldn’t be the only one.

Ponies are like any other creature. They’re very much set in their old ways. If there doesn’t appear to be a pressing need for change, it doesn’t happen.

1) Of course. And I never said it wasn’t a solid game, either.

2) Certainly!

I’ll keep it simple and just call it Games. Going to need to build it up a bit before it’s worth adding to the sidebar, though.

A little excessively gory for my tastes.

Their use seemed milder in Dead Rising.

…

I’m not going to disagree with somepony’s opinion. But if this were a question, the answer wouldn’t be no. Rather, it would be…

Presentation and story are not interchangeable. I love Megaman Legends 1 and 2, but its story was actually pretty weak.

All three Deus Ex had good stories. Psychonauts had a good story. TimeSplitter’s Future Perfect had a good story.

Darwinia had an interesting presentation. Skyrim has a robust presentation. One might argue that Gears of War has an engaging presentation, and that would be a little easier to defend than saying it has an engaging storyline.

Sickly and right pitiful.

Sweetie and Tootsie are sick too. Bon-Bon’s dodging germs like a champ, but who knows how long she’ll be able to hold off?

I’ve been playing the new Star Wars MMO with an old friend I ran into while Boscov and I were in Manehatten. I’d rather be a jedi, but he and his friends were sith so I rolled a bounty hunter. The storylines are so engaging! They’re better then a lot of single player games out there!

1) I checked back at some point and I have addressed this before. If you manually input the right tag, you’ll go straight to the answer.

I won’t link it though, because I’m mischievous like that.

[Insert winking emoticon]

2) I’ve said before, but if even I can’t find it that’s a problem.

In on the human maturity scale, I’m roughly twenty-three/twenty-four. Boscov is roughly ten years older than that on the same scale.

1) Boscov isn’t a pony; he’s a bear. That’s like asking him to be a completely different person! Even if he was willing I’d never let him do that.

2) If you want to consider either of us young, I guess all I can say is thanks.
