Worst Let's Play ever.

I thought some people might want a State Of The Lunacy briefing. Because when you're stuck in a ten-mile backup and the traffic report won't tell you what's going on, there's always going to be some small part of the human character which demands something at the very end worthy of a ten-mile backup. You don't want a mere lane closure and flow shift. You want something you can rubberneck.

So Windlife just posted a new story. And when it comes to his works, he and I have an odd sort of relationship. He... gets me thinking. Somehow, whenever I'm at one of his stories, something will click. His attempts to preemptively control his commentary section led directly to Post Negative Comments Only. His abject failure to

So there's about an 80% chance that I'm on the verge of having one.

So let's see what the group makes of these...

How do you give somepony the finger when you don't have fingers?

Anyone who's spent time around horses quickly becomes aware that the typical equine conducts much of their speech in body language. Ears rotate forward, get pressed back. Hoofs stomp. Tails flick. And if a tail is flicking while a hoof is pawing at the ground and the ears are going back? Run.

The banner ad which appears here is currently visible on FIMFic's front page, just below the Feature box.

...I have some questions.

* About this 'you' getting eaten thing. You do mean in the game, right? I'm not going to get home and find a suspiciously roaring package?

In the time since I joined the program, My Coke Rewards has offered amusement park tickets every single year. Some businesses have cut off their corporate partnerships: I used to get Universal Studios offerings, but... well, the value of points-to-ducat might have been a little too good. Others, however, have maintained. But with the current stage of the program approaching its final death (still set for June 30th), there isn't much left of anything, and those holding out for last-minute
