 Robotnik: Snooping as usual I see. Pingas
Robotnik: Snooping as usual I see. Pingas


It was a wonderful 日 in Canterlot, until some ponies started panicking.

Con: What's going on?
P: Discord is back, and he's murdering もっと見る ponies!
Con: I'll stop him!
Discord: Keep it up! Everypony in this town must die!
Korean ponies: Affirmative! *kill each other*
Discord: Don't kill each other! Only kill the ones that live here.
Con: *shoots Discord*
Discord: あなた really think that pistol of yours will work?
Con: I shot あなた in the arm! Why aren't あなた bleeding?
Discord: Because, I'm invincible!
Con: *takes away invincibility* Not anymore.
Discord: That's it, you're screwed! Everypony, drop the nuke!
koreans: *drop nuke*
Con: Oh, fu- *wakes up* Oh thank goodness. It was only a dream.

Con's cell phone then started to ring

Con reported at P's office.

Con: I got your call, what's Discord up to now?
P: He is now trying to kill agents from various organizations.
Con: He must have a 一覧 with him.
P: He does. His first three targets are you, Fenix Lighter, and Rareesa.
Con: Really? Couldn't he kill some other pony?
P: He will, after he kills あなた three.
Con: *sighs* I'm on it. Should I see S before I leave?

The answer was yes.

S: Hello 0007.
Con: Hi S, what do あなた have for me?
S: Glad あなた asked, because it will blow you, and your enemies away.
Con: A ミサイル shooting car?
S: Precisely, Chevronet Corvette with machine guns, and missiles behind the headlights.
Con: Both are behind the headlights?
S: Yes, and they pop up to, so you'll give your enemies a surprise.
Con: What about my gun?
S: A Nambu pistol, with a choice of automatic firing, または semi automatic.
Con: Nice.
S: And one もっと見る thing. Remember that pen I used to tranquilize somepony?
Con: How could I forget that?
S: I'm giving that to you. Not only is there a tranquilizer setting, but a confusion, as well as poison.
Con: Who knew words could kill?
S: I did. You'll be heading to Rareesa's ホーム in Trottingham England, and make sure Discord does not kill her. Fenix, and some other M.I.3 agents will be there to help.
Con: Affirmative.

Con arrived at Rareesa's home.

Rareesa: Con, so glad あなた made it.
Con: Of course, I gotta make sure the sexiest mare in all of Equestria doesn't get killed.
Fenix: Along with me.
Con: Correction. I must make sure the sexiest mare ever, and my best friend don't die.
Fenix: Ja.
Rareesa: How long have あなた two known each other?
Con: Since we were colts.
Fenix: Right, and now we gotta go stop Discord.

The three ponies went for a walk toward a スキー resort. Rareesa lives in a really cool part of town, literally.

Fenix: I have some soldiers stationed によって here. They'll be able to get us from here to Discord's base.
Con: Alright, in the mean time the three of us can go skiing.
Koreans: *arrive on snowmobiles*
Fenix: または not.
Con: Go get those soldiers, we'll cover you!
Korean pony62: Hello あなた two.
Rareesa: Hi.
Korean pony62: Don't think about running, because we are getting help from Sweden.
Con: あなた need all the help あなた can get to stop us. *shoots korean pony* Take his snowmobile!
Rareesa: *leaves on snowmobile*
Korean pony85: Alright あなた two, as we planned.
Con: *skis down hill*
Sweden pony24: *follows Con*
Con: *switches to automatic firing*
Sweden pony52: HA! He has a small pistol!
Con: *kills sweden ponies*
Korean pony85: *passes & shoots at Con*
Rareesa: Oh brilliant!
Korean pony85: *shoots at Rareesa*
Rareesa: *teleports behind pony*
Korean pony85: What?!
Rareesa: *breaks the pony's neck*
Con: Rareesa! あなた ok?
Rareesa: I'm alright darling. Where are the Germans?
Fenix: In helicopters!
Con: Excellent.
Fenix: Hop in, and we'll get to Discord's base.
Con & Rareesa: *Get in helicopter*
German pony35: *Flies helicopter*
Con: How many ponies are here?
Fenix: 12, and they're all willing to fight alongside you.
Con: Excellent. Where is Discord's base?
German pony35: Right in front of us.
Korean pony86: Intruders!
Swedish pony48: It's the Germans!
Fenix: Con, get on ze machine gun.
Con: *gets on MG, & shoots enemies*
Swedish pony66: We need a rocket launcher!
Swedish pony23: Here! *gets bazooka*
Con: *destroys bazooka*
German pony35: We have to land.
Fenix: Then do it.

All three choppers landed on the base, and all 15 ponies stormed out.

Fenix: Con, through this way!
Con: I'm right behind you.
Swedish ponies: *fire at Germans*
Germans: *fire at Swedish*
Con: *shoots enemy* Whoops! Forgot it was on automatic. *reloads*
Rareesa: I'll cover you. *shoots two enemies*
Korean ponies: あなた Swedish scum can't do anything right! *Shoots Germans*
German pony47: We have 4 down!
Con: *heals them* Thank god for being a unicorn.

The fighting went on for two もっと見る minutes, until Con, & Rareesa decided to continue on, while the Germans would wait によって the helicopters.

Con: *searches for Discord*
Rareesa: I can't find him anywhere.
Discord: *hits Rareesa*
Con: Whoa! You're not supposed to hit mares!
Discord: I don't care, I'm not a pony.
Rareesa: *hits Discord*
Discord: I have two intruders, and need back up.
Swedish ponies: *run toward Discord*
Con: Rareesa, get out of here with the others. I'll handle this. *fights Discord*
Swedish ponies: Hold your fire!
Con: *teleports himself & Discord on cable car*
Discord: *pushes Con*
Con: *holds onto ledge*
Discord: *grabs gun*
Con: *jams it with magic*
Discord: あなた goddamn unicorn. *hits horn*
Con: *climbs back up*
Discord: Stay down there! *hits Con*
Con: *grabs pistol*
Discord: *Fixes his gun*
Con: *Shoots Discord*
Discord: *Falls off cable car*

Now Con just had to escape Discord's army.

Con was stuck on the cable car, as it was heading toward some ponies that wanted him dead.

Fenix: Con! On here!
Korean pony77: *shoots at helicopters*
Con: Get outta here, I have something else in mind *jumps off cable car*
Rareesa: Con!!
Con: *teleports at Rareesa's house* oh jeez.

Koreans, and Swedish ponies were at Rareesa's house. They had no idea Con was there, so he got in his car, and left just when he got a phone call

Con: Hello?
P: Where are you?
Con: Making sure S's equipment doesn't get stolen. Discord is dead, but I gotta go find Rareesa.
Rareesa: *appears in Con's car* Drive as fast as あなた can!
Con: I gotta go *floors it*
Korean ponies: *follow in other cars*
Con: What did あなた do?
Rareesa: The helicopters were getting shot down, and I left.
Con: あなた just abandoned the Germans?!
Rareesa: I made them invincible for 5 minutes.
Con: Oh thank Celestia. We need to escape these ponies now!
Koreans: *shoot at Con*
Con: I wanna try something *drops grenades*
Koreans: *blow up*
Rareesa: So much for them.
Swedish leader: But あなた forgot about us.
Con: *teleports into Ponyville raceway*
Swedish pony56: *steals race car*
Con: *shoots other race cars* That should block his path, and make him go into that lake.
Swedish pony56: *Crashes, and goes into the lake*
Swedish leader: *Shoots at Con*
Con: *Turns left*
Rareesa: What are あなた doing?
Con: Blowing him away *Shoots missile*
Swedish leader: AAAAAAAAAAAAAHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! *dies*
Con: *teleports off race track*
Rareesa: That was cool.
Con: thanks *Repairs car*
Fenix: Rareesa! Thank あなた for making us invincible.
Rareesa: It was the least I could do, since あなた were about to die.
Con: *laughs* あなた know Rareesa, I've been thinking..
Rareesa: What?
Con: I know we've only known each other for less then two weeks, but..
Rareesa: But what?
Con: I 愛 you. I know I'll never find another mare like you. Will あなた marry me?
Rareesa: *kisses Con* あなた mean it?
Con: Yes.

So it was settled, Con & Rareesa got married the 次 day, and the two were cruising down a road in Con's Corvette.

Con: I got a week's leave, so I'll hang with あなた until I have to go.
Rareesa: I'm planning on joining the C.I.E.
Con: あなた are? What about M.I.6?
Rareesa: Forget them, you're not in it.
Con: *Stops car*
Rareesa: *Grabs flower* 愛 me
Con: I already do
Rareesa: Infuriate me.
Con: I would never!
Rareesa: In..
Con: In.. In a great honeymoon.
Rareesa: *laughs*

While the married coupled were kissing, Con was in for a surprise.

Korean mare: *driving by*
Discord: *shoots at Con*
Con: It's Discord! *gets into car* Discord.

Rareesa was killed, and Con tried to bring her back to life, but his horn was broken. Discord shot it. And 0007 swore to get revenge on the asshole that just killed his wife.

Hedgehog In Ponyville With A Vengeance - 2012

As Pinkie Pie shot a rocket, a grenade was being cooked, and thrown towards us. "This can't be good." Pinkie said. I knew this was bad, so I had to act quick. "Chaos Control!" I shout, as I 移動する us away from the explosion. There was just one downside from what I just did. We were no longer in Equestria, but in another place I knew. "Where are we?" アップルジャック, applejack asked. I had no idea, but as I looked around, I soon realized where we were. Then I saw an '81 Impala with a California License Plate. It also had a 年 on it, "Oh damnit." I say "What's wrong?" アップルジャック, applejack asked, "Where are we?" "San Francisco 1982." I tell her. We time traveled back 32 years, and soon we were greeted によって a guy wearing a mask, carrying a brown bag. "Hey!" he shouts. As I hear him shout, I floor it. The burglar then tried to shoot me, but missed breaking the window of a Mercury behind me. After I escaped the burglar I tried to use Chaos Control, but the sight of police lights behind me makes the エメラルド fall out of my hands, onto the floor. アップルジャック, applejack shouts at me, but I can't hear her because of the engine in my car, so she shot the officers behind my car. Pinkie Pie was the only one to help us out of this. "Pinkie, 検索 in the グローブ compartment for a chaos emerald, ok?" I ask. Instead of getting a chaos エメラルド though she looks at me confused, "Aren't we already causing chaos?" she says. How the fuck am I supposed to respond to that?! The police are behind me, and we have to get back to Equestria, and help 虹 Dash, and Shredder take Doughnut Joe's from Discord's control. "Please just look for it Pinkie!" I say. I didn't mean to shout at her, but I nearly crash into a mustang. Pinkie then finds the エメラルド and hands it to me. "Ok good job. Chaos Control!" Soon we arrive at the battle for Joe's.

I don’t know what it is, but I always enjoyed foggy environments. I mean sure, people have gotten into… もっと見る than one car accident in them, but they still fascinate me no matter what. It’s almost as fascinating to me as snow is (Trust me, that’s an upcoming list). Though, unlike snow, fog is used to give off something scary, depressing, または mysterious. And I freaking 愛 that. Hell, even making this list, it’s foggy right now. So, what better time to make a 一覧 about foggy environments. Now, some rules.

There are a lot of DLC, and if あなた are a true gamer, DLC is something あなた usually… don’t have high expectations for. They either sell あなた a bunch of worthless clothing and items for how they would be priced in real life, give あなた on disc DLC, または even force あなた to buy their DLC because they have the ending to a game held for ransom. Game companies usually use one of these horrible tactics, または hell, even all of them (Capcom), but what about the few exceptions.

When it comes to the 映画 made によって Rob Zombie, they’re kinda hit または miss for me. Some of them can be good, and others, like Halloween, can be the worst thing I’ve ever seen. So, naturally, when I heard of this one animated movie によって Rob Zombie, I was…. Interested, to say the least. Not sure if I wanted to watch it, but, I gave it a try. I decided to buy the movie off line, since the film was straight-to-video, and gave it a watch… And it was definitely a film that I enjoyed… kinda. So, let’s talk about the movie that few know as The Haunted World of El Superbeasto.

Hey, Rockstar, everyone likes them. Red Dead Redemption 2 was nominated for the best game of 2018, I mean, it ロスト to God of War but that is to be expected.

Red Dead Redemption is set in the good old 1910s, and nearing the end of the wild west, as John Marston, a simple young man, is tasked によって the government to go on a mission to hunt down his old gang, along with...

Back when I was so poor, あなた would find パン to be the greatest meal ever, me and my brother would always go around the abandoned houses and try to find whatever we could. Sometimes we would find some awesome stuff, and sometimes, we get nothing. It was mostly the latter. Though, there was this one time that was rather… not what we expected. We were in, of course, Middletown. He town of prostitutes, gang violence, and easy to find games at the pawnshops. While me and my brother were walking, we came across yet another abandoned house. This place looked like your typical abandoned meth lab...
