I am a humorist. I write funny stuff... I hope. Since my pony-name appears to be Dusk Dash (there is a chart), I have decided to dedicate my life to quick and evil science!

    Tails of Equestria - They finally made one!

    As my dear "readers" (or rather waiters,,, sorry, I am working on stuff, I promise) may have noticed, I like RPGs. I even wrote an entire chapter as an RPG, for goodness sake! Now, the good people at "River Horse" (love the name already) managed to talk Hasbro into making an official MLP RPG called "Tails of Equestria".
    I got the book today and I just finished it... here are my thoughts:

    Let's talk about Zelda *BotW Spoilers*

    So... you might have noticed that I have been a tad quiet lately. Well, work is an inverse b'tch as it pays me to get screwed over and over again.
    Jokes aside, I want to vent a little and I thought the best way to do that is to write about something that I love: Zelda

    RPGs You Should Try

    Recently one of my friends and me got into a bit of a quarrel about the state of modern RPGs. While he thinks that RPGs are at their lowest with D&D 5, the new 7th Sea being disappointing and FF games losing Warhammer, I personally think that we are in an golden age of Roleplaying with sites like DriveThruRPG and the like allowing us to find games that would have never seen publishing alone.

    WORST EPISODE EVER!!!

    Seriously? 11 Int for a "Turn into root vegetable" spell?
    That's heavy transmogrify and at least level 5 in 3.5 and maybe 4 in Pathfinder. That needs a 15 or 14 Int! Even more if untrained!
    And Captain Wuss should get a save!
    GOD!
    0 out of 5 stars
    No points
    Terrible episode!

    (PS: Can someone please recommend a decent neurosurgeon? I need someone to get these writers out of my head!!!)

New Chapter of "Between Day and Night" is with my Editor · 10:03pm Nov 7th, 2015

Hi Everyone!
Just announcing that the new chapter for my long-quiet story is with our favourite creepy soul collector now and will be done when he is through with it.
I write this post for two reasons:
First: I want to apologize for how long the chapter took to write. A lot of stuff happened in my life. Some good, much bad and some completely hard to place yet. I wanted to write but I just didn't have the strength for the most time. Its a bit better now and I do want to finish this story. You guys are amazing readers and I hope you will enjoy the next chapter.
Second: Please do me this favour! Don't just post comments that say "This updated", "Finally", "Long time silent" or something akin to that on the story. Those make me feel really bad for taking so long. You can rip the writing apart all you want, I am grateful for input in that regard.

On an unrelated note: Is it just me or is the current season simply amazing? The writing is great, the characters have fun moments and the remember that Twilight is a massive nerd and Spike has a purpose other than getting humiliated constantly.

Yay! :yay:

Personally, I think that the writing has serious issues in quite a number of episodes of this season (especially Princess Spike, Brotherhooves Social, Crusaders of the Lost Mark), more than in previous seasons. Or maybe it's just me getting more nutpicky? Anyway, this is not supposed to mean that i don't like the season as a whole; it has a lot of brilliant episodes as well!

3537925 I like to call this season's issue "Amy Keeting Rogers and Dave Polsky" (Yes, the third one wasn't from them but bare with me).
Polsky has always written the weakest episodes in the series. The guy can be funny, but he doesn't do character driven stuff well. I don't hold grudges, but he is just out of his element when he is not writing random sillyness.
Rogers is (sadly) still writing season 1. All morals and little edge. I liked Canterlot Boutique, but even that one felt way too safe.
Not to put too much of a stress on those writers but they have to accept that the show moved on and is more than a morality play for little girls now. Just look at stuff like the seasons opener or "Amending Fences". Those were AMAZING!
