Blah…

Link to the Past and Link’s Awakening were great. Ocarina of Time was fine. I knew it wasn’t going to be the huge deal everypony was making it out to be, but whatever.

In fact, Metroid and Mario are probably the only two franchises from way back that actually did the transition into 3D successfully. Mega Man too, in the form of Mega Man Legends, but that’s now completely defunked.

Storywise? Sorry, I don’t care if Link is the most popular video game character ever. I’ll take JC Denton or Raziel any day. Give me a dynamic character that actually grows. Not some flat nothing that turns into ‘the big darn hero’, just so you can project yourself on to them. But somepony that already has convictions that they have to battle against, as much as they do their surroundings. Because when they have to make 'that decision’, or 'that sacrifice’, it’s meaningful.

Getting kind of stressful, actually. Huge surge of questions all of a sudden and it’s putting me further behind on this Earthbound piece.

I might just have to release a short, few second long teaser.

I thought you were good at disguising yourself as anon, Gilda. You said so in the past.

And I’m not telling, if they want to admit to it, they can come out of anon and send me a message admitting to it.

Generally speaking, I don’t have one. All games have gigantic flaws that, at least in part, ruin a perfect experience.

But the answer is Deus Ex: Human Revolution. I remember the first time I sat down and played Morrowind and was completely blown away. Then Oblivion came out and I was like, “Not bad! More of the same, but not bad!” Fallout 3 was, “Pretty nice! I’d like some magic and decent buffs, but otherwise pretty swank!”

Human Revolution is like Morrowind, times Fallout 3, to the power of (without mentioning a Deus Ex game in the explanation) the second half of Deadly Premonition.

Best game I’ve ever played, and haven’t even gotten very far. Plus, I usually favor open world games!

Audible sigh.

And here I thought I was gonna get through a day without having to censor anypony.

Anyway we can talk about something else?

Television shows, video games, movies, something not so dark and depressing?

I didn’t think it was.

If Sweetie Is Claiming Responsibility That Means You Can Tell Us Who You Thought It Was. So Who Did You Think It Was?

N~ope.

If they want everypony to know, they’ll have to say so themselves.

I don’t think so, no.

And I don’t own any shoes. I was gonna get some snow boots during winter, but I never got around to it.

Hmph But I’m Interested! I’m Trying To Work It Out But I’m Not Good At This Kind Of Thing. C’mon Can’t You Give Me A Hint?

Alright I confess it was me. And I’m not just taking the wrap for that guy so you don’t know who he/she is.

If you want to admit to it, Sweetie, that’s fine. But that would make me wrong in the two I thought it might be. Which actually means you were doing fine.

If you want to admit to it, that is.

No thank you.

We’ve already talked about it.

I can’t ever support a war, but… What those people stand for, the ones that would kill mercilessly? If there was ever a reason to fight back, that has to be it.

You’re probably right. I’ve never been in a war.

And as many times as my life was put into danger when I was a foal, there were safe places to be, if you could reach them. There aren’t any where you are. Not really.

But when somepony limps up to you and says they just watched their best friend or sister get raped and kidnapped, what exactly are you supposed to say?

It’s not fair to you because it’s my past vs. your present. I can choose to ignore what happened to me years ago, but you can’t ignore what’s happening right now.

But if I’m not sorry, what am I?

Who Do You Think It Is? I Want To Know.

Now, Gilda. If somepony posted anonymously, they obviously don’t want to have their identity revealed.

Uh huh…

Well, I can tell you right now that’s not how mental illness works. Maybe that rock you ate had some kind of malicious magic on it.

Thanks.

I just never really got much praise growing up… Doesn’t quite feels right when I hear it.

To me, there’s just gotta be some pony better than me.

And if this is who I think it might be, double thanks, but you don’t quite disguise your grammar and speech perfectly.

It doesn’t really matter, just, you know, be careful when you go anon.
