Somehow, I manage to write sad fluff. I'd be concerned about my mental health, but I'm too busy writing.

After all the time I've spent playing video games in the Canterlot Arcade, I actually get to be in them!
Finally, all my dreams of piloting intergalactic spaceships and fighting off demons are going to come true!
There's just one catch, though...
I have to bring Octavia with me.
Shouldn't be too hard, right?
After all, I've got help.

It's off to a great start! I like it. The writing is pretty good and I'll admit, I generally read about the duo of Bon-Bon and Lyra and only heard things about Vinyl and Octavia but I like their interaction in this. But I'm surprised that a classy gal like Octavia would be so easily convinced by a dare. Makes me think they both wanted to go on a crazy adventure. I dunno. I thought it was funny in a mild snort of a way.

*adjusts nerd glasses*

Actually, Tennis For Two was the first video game. Pong was the first game released on home consoles (the Magnavox Odyssey), but it was not the first videogame.

But seriously, this story is amazing. I can tell you're a legit gamer (Celestia bless you) and that

Also, Vinyl and Octavia, which is like, instant win.

I love your writing style, I love the concept, the writing never seems out of character for either of them, and I can't wait to see more.

I wish to see more of this if possible.:pinkiehappy:

Tell me if its a coincidence or not but if dante is the arms dealer did you name him dante because of dante from devil may cry or is that just me?

I named him Dante because Dante is one of the names that the Arms Dealer can have in Terraria. Any references to DMC or its characters are the fault of the game developer(s), not me.

YES! someone knows what terraria is:pinkiehappy:

You're partially right. :twilightsmile: It all depends on how you define "first."

Tennis For Two was, technically, the first video game – but it wasn't a commercial product, of course; it was a one-off exhibition piece at Brookhaven National Laboratory, using an oscilloscope and a Donner Model 30 analog computer that was originally designed to calculate missile trajectories.

The first "video game" as we know it -- i.e., either a coin-operated arcade machine, a console which connects to a TV set or video monitor, or a hand-held device with a video display -- was actually Computer Space, by Nutting Associates, which came out several months before the Magnavox Odyssey home-videogame console (not to be confused with the Odyssey2) hit the market. The Odyssey was the first home videogame, but Computer Space still beats it as the first commercially-released videogame device.

Atari's Pong, which debuted a few months after the Odyssey console, is considered to be the first commercially-successful coin-op game, so it's the one most people think of as being "first." (Computer Space wasn't all that successful, since the gameplay was a little too complicated and non-intuitive for the average person who, at the time, had no experience with video games of any kind, so a lot of people never even heard of it until well after the face; and the Odyssey console came out close enough to the same time as Atari's Pong game that most people don't realize the Odyssey came first, by about 3 months.)

Are they in Terraria? Because that sounds an awful lot like it

I am officially confused now.
