Twilight has had her Windows 1996 computer for a long time without having to deal with many concerning troubles. So, what happens when she gets "the blue screen of death"? Why, she tries to fix the computer herself, of course!

Based on a true story, just without the porcupines

3421458 I get bluescreens on a daily basis.

Should totally give this a read.
:heart:

After reading this:

This sounds exactly like something Twilight would do when she got her first BSOD.

(Demopan's March is somewhat fitting while reading this, odd...)
:heart:

Oh god, this was brilliant. XD

Not only does it convey the frustration of a clunky older machine acting retarded, it does so in a hilariously over-the-top manner that's perfectly in character. And the best part is the ending, which, believe it or not, has in fact happened in real life to many tech supports--well, minus the huge magical explosion, of course. There are dozens of anecdotes floating around about little old ladies who got confused by their computer, unloaded a shotgun shell into it, then calmly called tech support for help when it "wouldn't go".

Well met. Well met indeed.

I was expecting a blue screen when reading this.
Didn't get one, feel kinda dissapointed.

The sheer firing itself made the world shake violently like it was on a galactic roller coaster of doom. Fire raged through the town, and destruction came upon Ponyville. Everything was now finished, and the Golden Oaks Library no longer existed. There were not even ashes left after the spell. The end had come.

Oh DIY computer repair.

3421458 If the world had come to an end, how could Micro Center still be standing?

Annoying things never die. Were a biblical catastrophe to come about, no power from heaven nor hell could damage the following:

Anything tax related
Useless Tech support
Telemarketers
Places or people to which you owe money
Pink Lawn Flamingos
...along with similar entities.

I Looked Up Sonic Fanfiction and Then My Computer Exploded...

Mother of Celestia that made me laugh so hard!:rainbowlaugh: Good show my good sir.:twilightsmile:

Rush and Pony on!

After reading this, only one thought remained in my head.

I have a deep dislike for people who disregard the inner workings of a computer. That brave legion of complete idiots, bravely going were no nerd has returned to before... Microcenter.

Those that give no thought to the months, the years of effort that go into creating these amazing machines. Those that blank out when they ask were I bought my computer from, and I gladly tell them of my epic quest to keep the best of hardware inside that one case.

They are my archnemesis, my eternal foe, and I shall fight them one by one with the best comeback to have ever been devised against them.

"Have you tried turning it off then on again?"

Ah, yes. I remember Windows 95 and 98. I also remember writing a piece of software that credibly imitated a blue screen (but didn't harm anything) and setting it as my brother's screensaver.

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bravo!! BRAVO!! *clapping*

Bravo, mate. a hit as always!

"She had never seen this beast before, but she felt it's terror; it's choking gaze of destruction."
Oh my god, this is perfect. I could totally see Twilight doing something like this to fix her computer. You deserve all the Klondike bars: past, future, and present.

Have my babies.

How To Fix a Mac, I Looked Up Sonic Fanfiction and Then My Computer Exploded, and How To Fix a Mac 2: The Reckoning

By Celestia's beard, that is the most hilarious thing I have EVER read! [Same thing happened to me, except Fluttershy Ninja-Kicked my screen in :flutterrage: , thus inducing the explosion. Afterwards, (approximately 3 seconds later,) Twilight Ninja-Kicked me in the side of the head :twilightangry2: and screamed at the top of her lungs, "YOU DO NOT LOOK UP SONIC FANFICTIONS EVER AGAIN, OR I WILL NINJA-KICK YOU IN THE BALLS MORE THAN ENOUGH FOR THERE TO BE NOTHING LEFT TO NINJA-KICK!!!!!" Just thought I'd bring that up. :pinkiehappy: ]

I saw this and remembered this -
