Golurk

So, I decided to start off small. Went with the mind blank file (figured it'd be nice to actually think nothing for a while. ), and I started it up. Then, I heard the guy's voice. I mean no offense to the guy, but that's not something I can listen to for half an hour. It... kinda creeped me out. Definitely not the kind of thing I was expecting. Perhaps I'll try again later. Just kinda caught me off guard. Anyway, that'd be as far as I'm willing to go. The whole pony part seems like something I wouldn't want to do. The personality bits, maybe. But not for a while, at least.

So, turns out a friend of mine found out about this a while ago. Apparently, he's done all of them enough that he's able to turn them on and off at will. Which made gaming with him last night... very interesting. It's a bit odd to describe. I'd give him a "mode" to use for a round, and it's kinda scary how different he ended up for some of them. Like, normally we tend to stick together so we don't get overwhelmed by enemies and can help each other out easily. When he turned on RD, though, all he was concerned with was getting done as fast as possible and beating more enemies than me. And when he turned on FS, he... just kinda stayed behind, looked for things, and let me handle most of the fighting (he was also a lot more soft-spoken. It was... kinda scary, honestly. ) And then we did a PvP match where he turned on TS, and he was noticeably more concerned about finding a good spot to pick me off, and did NOT react well when that plan didn't work. (Never stand in one place against a sniper. ) Notably, he refuses to go PP for the sake of his sanity, and Rars for the sake of his... well, sanity. It was odd to say the least. He certainly wasn't acting like himself, but that easily changed once he wanted to go back. So no harm done, but... dang. It was weird.

This seems like something I would consider if not for one thing: the pony part. I'd be fine with the various personality quirks for certain situations (i.e. Twilight for studying, Pinkie for social events, etc...), but the rest of it seems counterproductive for my specific intentions. Besides, the only for-sure alone time I get nowadays isn't until 3 AM. So... I should *probably* be asleep then. Note, I haven't looked into this too terribly much, so please do correct me if I'm wrong. But in its current state, and by my current understanding, this isn't for me. It sounds interesting though.

I've... had my moments. But, they all relate to the show itself, rather than the surrounding community. I'll admit that it's been for-freakin-ever since I've actually seen an episode, yet here I still am. The show itself may be more-or-less dead to me, but you guys aren't. That's the important thing.
