I seriously doubt that it was a glitch. For a newer member or somepony just searching the tag for the first time, the posts with the most notes usually have something visual to look at. And that’s more appealing to draw in new members.

But if they’re fixing it, I don’t really care if it was intentional or not. Thanks for the info! Hope it turns out to be true!

Edit: A~nd it’s already fixed! Yay!

Well, I used to watch the asklyra tag in case someone posted anything about me, but I guess it’s useless now. Tags are now sorted in order of notes instead of chronologically.

If anyone knows a way to switch the ordering, I’d be delighted to hear it?

Edit: Evidently they changed it back. I’ll keep watching the tag!

Temporary new avatar.

Because.

I find most conversations about video games to be dull and boring, but you’ll have to excuse me while I go off on a tangent.

Dynasty Warriors is a series that takes place in your world’s ancient China. It’s about the events leading up to and subsequent war that took place over the course of about a hundred years.

It’s an action arcade-style beat-em-up. The mechanical draw of the games are the shear numbers of active units on screen at once. You’re literally up against hundreds of enemies at a time, with thousands placed throughout the map. On the easiest setting, you can wade through just about anything and decimate the battlefield. On the harder settings you need to pay attention to the objectives, troop placement, any requests for aid, all while fighting against hordes of enemies that can easily whittle you down, or enemy generals that can drop you in a combo or two.

The voice acting and choreography in cutscenes are super cheesey. There’s such a volume of characters that many wind up being lack-luster; with personalities that are no deeper than a puddle. A lot of the fights are historically inaccurate on a grand scale. But it is just so… all-in, over-the-top, ridiculously framed, fast-paced fun that I’ve been a fan since the series started proper with Dynasty Warriors 2.

And each one has had a different flavor, as far as game modes. 3 was my favorite up until 7, but it looks like 8 is going to top that in spades.

That was a lot more text than I originally intended. Here’s the final battle music to 7. Which is, like, the best track from the whole dang series.

1) Praying Mantis Stick-Figure Pony: GO!

2) Little more time. I’m sort of waiting for something.

3) Oh, gosh. There’s so many. I’ll just pick my favorites from each kingdom. Pang Tong from Shu, Zhang He from Wei, Taishi Ci from Wu, Sima Shi from Jin, and Meng Huo among the other factions.

Wu’s my favorite side, though. I got so many favorites in Wu. And oh my Cels! We finally get to play as Lu Su! And Li Dian! And Zuo Ci from 5 is coming back! And every character has their own weapon plus the weapon switch system from 7 on top of that! There’s 70 characters! That’s 70 different weapons! 70 different fighting styles!

I will say I was a little surprised to see Lu Su playable, but not Cheng Pu. Maybe he’ll be playable in the next one.

4) I’m so stoked! I shouldn’t have read so much about it! I can’t stand the wait!

Oh my Cels! I just found out Dynasty Warriors 8 is coming to Equestria in 3 months and it will be available on 360! I’m so excited! I was nervous they might not release it here at all.

1) I’ll lift a chimney stack with my magic and drop it on your noggin.

2) Ugh… No. That’s something a wise pony would do.

3) You are absolutely right. This is a wonderful little blog. I’d like to think I share a lot of Boggle’s views. Not sure how well that’d all pan out in practice for me, though.

judacris:

“Spike, take a letter.”

I’m surprised I haven’t seen this everywhere.

I’m dying.

1) Why not ask him? He doesn’t seem to get very many questions.

2) Then I’d kill them both in a fit of jealousy and rage. You wanted to hear something like that, right?

What kind of question is this anyway? That’s a horrible thing to suggest!

3) I wouldn’t know.

Oh, that says fabulous. I thought it said famous. I was making a play-on-words.

But I wouldn’t know.

1) Thanks! It’s okay that this was late, it was nice seeing you at my party in Bearville!

2) Okay.

I hate you. You’re a butt. I should draw a line down your head so it looks like a butt.

3) It was work. Pretty sure the song is just there to spread cheer. Because it’s not fun. It’s work.

4) While I worked as an ambianic musician at the castle I sometimes played during social events with foreign parties present. They would be catered to specially.

I don’t know. There’s something about it that immediately clicked in my head when I bit into it. It didn’t just taste bad, it felt fleshy.

5) Legion? Grouping of military units numbering in five to six thousand ponies, isn’t it? That is a little weird to ban.

Or it would be, if not for that whole Anonymous thing.

6) B: You’ve got all your pieces set up, but you’ve yet to locate your opponent’s.

Remember the time you wanted to see this drawn months ago? I haven’t forgotten. I didn’t knew it was your birthday Lyra! Happy Birthday. <3 (Ugh, skype tells me nothing nowadays!) Anyway, headaches forced me to finish that earlier than i wanted to. If you’re alright with it, you get that now and the “better” version when i wake up,) i hope it’s still to your liking. And you’re not mad i’d still give my best for you, you are important. And loved, and you have to believe that! <3

Thank you, Rainbow Dash! This is fantastic as is! You’re a true, true friend!

Happy Birthday Lyra!

I’m a tad late with this because I was working on a background that didn’t work out but I hope you still like it. I gave you a bit of a mane cut too, it just looked a bit better that way. I have no idea what game you’re playing.

Holy moley! This is fantastic! I’m completely blown away! I absolutely love it! Thank you so much!

1) Thank you!

2) If you don’t have the patience to wait and obviously have no moral compass, chemical warfare seems to be the best answer. Something you can carry for a long time and still be devastating that can also be spread quickly and discretely before raising any alarm, but diverse enough that it can’t be vaccinated.

3) Probably bad. I can’t think of anything specific that was recent.

4) That’s okay. I’ve played this game before. You can go now.

5) Ordinarily I’d delete this second message under the assumption that it was sent either on accident or as assurance. But I know better.

6) I’ll have to get B to address this when I get back home. I’m sure he’d have something to say.

Best. Better than best.
