1) There were about a hundred different ways I could have replied to this. But, while trying to decide which one, I realized that… you’re sort of right? Which is more than a little depressing.
2) Bon-Bon: No! No coffee! Water!
3) Bon-Bon: No! No excuses! No massages! Water!
Lyra: What about hugs and candy?
Bon-Bon: We’ll talk.
4) It happened once about a week ago, but other than that I hadn’t had a cramp like that since I was little. I was kind of malnourished back then.
But no, it was just in my leg.
1) Ponies just hoping against hope, I guess.
Congratulations, though! I never got that far.
2) Tootsie: I like playing! And talking! And running! And jumping! And I probably ask too many questions, but I just want to know!
3) Since I have no intention of watching it, I watched a review. The guy didn’t care for it much (Caution: Strong language).
4) I sort of miss the old ponization that localization companies used to blindly enforce over here. I so wanted to headbutt that giant rat in the face with my horn.
Yes, but generally the added damage that the help provides will far outweigh the boss’s extra health.
Lyra: Well, we talked it over with her mother-
Bon-Bon: And with careful supervision-
Lyra: I’d like welcome the newest question answerer to AskLyra: Tootsie!
[Pause]
Lyra: I mean Liza!
Liza: Thank you! It’s an honor to officially join in!
Lyra: Looking at the screen though, you don’t think maybe I could just call you Tootsie on the computer, do you? Liza and Lyra look an awful-lot alike.
Tootsie?: Hmm… I’ll think about it.
1) Lyra: Well?
Bon-Bon: Eh.
Tootsie: PaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
2) Me neither…
1) If you’ve having the same trouble I did (after I finally figured out how to kill the adds on a melee character), it’s with its headbutt. I could never I-frame through it head-on. I found that you have to run to one side and roll perpendicular to its charge.
If it makes you feel better, you have to solo it. So you’re not at any disadvantage playing offline.
2) Outside of concept art and a toy, I’ve only seen a side view. And… he looks okay to me. Splinter always looked a little weird live-action.
Sorry, Strawberry, but B really doesn’t like much of anypony. I mean, he only really tolerates Krastos. How do you even do that? How do you not like Krastos? He’s so nice!
In other news, I’ve received five notifications today saying I had a new message, only for nothing to be in my inbox. As of now all messages received have been answered. So, if you sent something and I haven’t answered it yet, I never got it.
1) Somehow or another, I still value you as a friend. I would be devastated if anything happened to you.
2) Well I appreciate that. You’ll excuse me if I still possess an irrational fear.
3) According to the timestamp on my personal copies of the files, it’s only a little over two years old. On the other hoof, my background is nearly three.
1) I did get it, but thanks for letting me know anyway!
2) Lyra: NotCarlton.
Bon-Bon: Not- Shoot.
3) B: I don’t know what this means or why you would think I would. What are the numbers even supposed to be? A date? A combination? You said book. Is it an edition?
Sorry, Strawberry. I hope you’re okay!
4) I thought it might be boring, but really it seems more… lonely. I mean, you can find ways to pass the time, but there’s only one pony working at the counter during a shift. And depending on the time of day it might be an hour or more before anypony comes to buy a ticket.
And yes. They have a shift that just goes around relieving others so they can go on break. If I ever need to go, I can just send a message and they’ll send somepony to cover for me. But the ticket booth itself only closes for four hours a day, between two and six in the morning.
2) Sure. You don’t need this much time, but I’m gonna be kind of busy for a few days (I’ll explain later, it’s kinda late). So I’ll post the answer on the twenty-second. You have a week. I’ll reblog the rules after this.
3) Yes I did! He was nice! Why, did you know him?
1) Well, yeah! I only unfollow somepony if I’m given a reason to do so. If they aren’t posting, it’s not bothering me. And if they start posting again, I’m the first to know about it!
Why would anypony unfollow somepony for inactivity?
2) That sounds illegal. Or should be illegal. I mean, shouldn’t a bank care if somepony is spending money that nopony is claiming?
3) Bon-Bon: Thank you, dear. I hope you’re happy too!
Lyra: A~nd no explanation.
Bon-Bon: Such a curious filly you are.
4) Ouch. Also sorry for the delay. Has it been resolved yet?
5) B: I don’t have normal days. I haven’t had a normal day in over five years. There’s always things to do. At the moment I’m still trying to find this pony. I had a decent lead for a while, but it led nowhere.
1) Not dying, mostly. That might sound easy, but it’s the hardest thing you’ll ever live through!
2) Bon-Bon: Your world is full of hate for things that are different. Reading a book wrote by a pony might not make you unique, but it would make you a minority. If anyone even believed it. There’d probably be as many articles bad-mouthing it as there would be ones questioning its authenticity.
Bon-Bon: I got Lyra a Kindle a few years back thinking maybe she’d use it to read something. My mistake.
3) That’s funny! I barely played 2, but I played 3 a bunch! 4 was great and I loved it too! Just not as much as 3.
I never played Mario is Missing. It looked boring.
4) Lyra: Yes! Thank you, Strawberry! I always love eating parmesan pasta!
Bon-Bon: Thank you very much for inviting me, Strawberry.
B: Sarcasm doesn’t suit you. You will never see me.
1) Of course you’d win. There’s more humans that play video games than ponies. In fact, there’s probably more humans than ponies period.
2) Bon-Bon: I’ve never read a book by a human author. Though that does remind me.
Bon-Bon: Actually, no. It turned out to be about elevating an ideology above the sacrifices needed to make it reality. In this case they solved world hunger, but by the end of the story they had made so many sacrifices that they rendered the entire world’s population sickly and spread an incurable disease that cut their average global life-expectancy in half. And they created an evasive species of fern that had strangled a massive portion of the world’s plant life.
3) Sorry for the late reply. Sort of been busy the last few days.
It was just a small celebration here in Ponyville. This year the big show was held in Las Pegasus. I heard it was loud and with lots of fanfare. Floats, fireworks; that sort of thing.
1) Of course you did. Don’t care for the 8-bit fad. And it sounds interesting, in concept. Don’t really want to play a visual novel, though.
2) And I remain firm in my stance. Video game reviewing publications do all that work for you, without your having to spend money and time on lengthy trailers and cinematics that do not contain accurate depictions of the game itself. All you need is in-game footage. That’s all you ever needed.
I’m not saying advertisement is pointless. I’m saying the time and effort spent on acquiring a booth, sending representatives and equipment across the world to an expo, producing the exclusive content for the showcase, giving away stuff to get attention toward you and away from competitors, bringing everything back, and the cost of all this plus wages and living expenses for all those involved do not result in a net increase in revenue for a good game and would be better spent on the product itself (or if it’s effectively done, working on the next one). The only end it serves is to help bad games get initial sales they never deserved.
3) Wrong with me? Really? Somepony doesn’t like the same song as you and there’s something wrong with them? I will never understand why ponies get so defensive about music. It’s not an attack on you or your taste.
Don’t like this either. It at least has a decent trip beat going on, but the ironic lyrics ironically sung poorly are irritating and mask a derivative, but otherwise well-arranged instrumental. It’s the kind of music that, if I was cheesed off about something, would only make me angrier with how obnoxious it is.
And I did play with Legos as a foal. Well, with other pony’s Legos.
1) I haven’t seen it yet either, and now I’m not sure if I want to. That was not awesome. Even ironically, that was terrible. My hope remains for Unikitty.
What CNet shows are you talking about? I’m not sure I’ve ever seen them.
2) I completely disagree. If a game is good enough to stand on it’s own merits, ponies will be interested in it for those merits. Look at generations prior to the 3D era. How much publicity did they get?
Video games do not need the same kind of ad revenue as movies or television shows. Video games are not the same kind of entertainment as movies or television shows.
