I'm an avid gamer, not exactly "hardcore," but not exactly "casual." I am a pretty big fan of animation in general, and I'm currently going to college for a degree in cyber security. I have had quite the history of dealing with depression, detailed on my blog. I enjoying interacting with all sorts of people, so feel free to converse with me. I don't bite.
I reckon it'll take time before the furor for the expectations for the episode not being met has passed. I feel most of the complaints are for how the episode didn't showed the Equestria Games we expected. Many have said on it's own the episode was pretty good though not without flaws.
