    I remember reading some of this ages ago. I also remember enjoying it, but you could use a proofreading pass.

    Biggest issue I can see is dialogue punctuation.

    “Reaaaaaaaaal smooth, Spike.” drawled Twilight, her voice literally oozing with sarcasm at every single word.

    That full stop after "Spike" should be a comma.

    “Geahs of War?” Said Applejack

    "Said" should be "said".

    Remember: if you follow dialogue with some variation of "said Character", then they're both part of the same sentence, so the dialogue should never end on a full stop (but you can use a question mark or exclamation mark; just don't capitalise "said").

    I wrote a whole bunch about this here.

    Think I'll read the rest of this story now. It's a fun idea. Thanks for writing it.

    >>456283 Yep, it's the original author here, but one of the writers of the team left due to a heavy workload and schedule, so our production is sort of on hiatus right now. I've recently gotten inspiration for an Asura's Wrath chapter, so let's just hope I'll be able to write it without my co-author's help, heh.

    Glad to see this series is now on FIM. That way it'll be easier to track this story.

    And now for requests, I have one game that will soooooo fit in this series.

    Mario Party. This will test Friendship and could tear it apart easily.

    If you need help on this game, check out some videos on Youtube. That could be useful since you apparently don't have any Nintendo Console games, correct?

    It was interesting and I definitely liked it but having Fluttershy be some kind of gaming god on her first time was a bit much. Especially on the harder difficulty. I can see how it'd be kinda funny being that Fluttershy is of course the shyest and the most demure of them, but it's not that funny. Personally I'd find her playing through excellently only to be killed by something and her cursing (very mildly) to everyone's shock more funny. The lecture didn't help. It made adorable Fluttershy seem pretentious. A deadly crime. :flutterrage:

    That actually reminds me of my first experience with Mortal Kombat as a kid: the MK2 arcade cabinet had a malfunction and my side didn't work right, so my character (Raiden) was just kinda standing there as he got hammered on, and finally uppercutted into the spikes above the arena. I remember walking away, asking my dad, "Is...is he dead? D:"
