There is no escape!?!? Arrrrrrrrrgggggghhhhhh!

Thanks

I'm seeing how long I can hold out before I cave and get myself a copy. After all, these ponies aren't going to brush themselves. No opposable thumbs.

I'm glad you thought so... INBOUND!

Oh Lenin what have I unleashed.

Do I need to buy this game now? Sheesh.

No need, now that you've posted this someone will buy it for you.

Your forum name says you want to stay hip and alllllll the cool kids are doing it.

In this case "HIP" is actually an acronym for Horse Infatuated Princess.

Next time around, I'm sticking with TheCoxaRecreator.

Alright, alright, alright! Someone send me a copy, and I'll accept it this time. Now I feel like I'm being left out.

Edit: Holey sh*tsnacks. Right after I posted this, I went over to my Steam tab and MrDevil sent me a copy. Talk about good timing!

Some of my spiritualist friends believe that a tarot deck has more magic when gifted rather than purchased.

It seems the same rule applies to magical ponies.

I was telling my wife about this magical pony gifting game/meme going on, and she's like "Breeding ponies? Training ponies?? UNICORNS?!? Sounds like fun!"

So, put my name in the hat, fellas. I'll pay it forward to some unsuspecting shlob.

I just saw this thread and hesitated thinking this couldn't be real. Someone wouldn't. Nah...

I don't believe in God, but right now I am thanking him for giving me such great intestinal fortitude. I am too busy to play this silly game!

I swear, work gets busy enough to make me fall behind on following GWJ, and you guys go completely batsh*t insane.

Wow this thread is kinda like one of those horror movies where you watch the video or whatever and the spirit comes to kill you. Only in this case if you post in this thread the game appears in your OHMYGODWHATHAVEIDONE?!!

They all laughed at Grandpa, but we'll show them. We'll show them all!

We arrive our newly inherited base of operations. Investigating a noise from the stable we find Katelyn:

So far, Grandpa's schemes and designs don't seem to have amounted to anything. Unsure, we approach Katelyn, but she is nervous. I pick up the nearby sponge, and she suggests that I may put it on her head. I do so, absentmindedly rubbing her head while wondering why Grandpa would have left this place with naught but this useless little colt.

From my peripheral I notice a glow:

As I turn to look a flash of light momentarily blinds me. When my vision returns:

IMAGE(http://i.imgur.com/AAo3o.jpg)

HOLY S&@T IT'S A PONYCORN!!!! I quickly look down at the sponge I dropped on the ground in my surprise. What did Grandpa put on this sponge?! What the hell just happened?!

After discussing with my sister, we decide that we must discover what our new ponycorn can do. To protect our seemingly only viable specimen, we take Katelyn over to the smithy to shoe her. What we find there is strange. There are no common materials, and only a book that suggests recipes might exist. I hand my coin pouch to my sister with instructions to query the locals for knowledge about these strange materials. After waiting for what seemed an eternity, she returns (albeit having spent almost a third of our available funds!) with a recipe. A third of our money for one "recipe"? She will be reprimanded later, but for now we need ponycorn shoes.

Really? Aenus?

Luckily Grandpa had left some materials lying around, and they included the ones we needed. Six times I tried to fashion these ingredients into a viable horseshoe, but the process was unlike any smithing I had ever seen. Through trial and error I learned these odd tools, and fashioned some shoes for Katelyn. After another frustrating session trying to actually shoe her, we headed for the practice field.

There is much work to be done, so we hook her up to the sled to bring some materials back to the farm. We will need all of the construction material we can horde. She strains under what is not a significant load:

In addition, she refuses to proceed unless constantly attended to. We must give her constant direction.

Seeing that she's not a strong ponycorn, we also try other tests of her speed and dexterity, all of which require the same levels of constant direction. She seemingly excels at nothing. She lacked even the stamina to get through more than two exercises without returning to the stable for rest. Perhaps ponycorns will make magical glue.

Distraught we head back to the farm to discover a mailbox crammed full of requests from the local townsfolk my sister met looking for the shoe recipe. (Did I just type shoe recipe? This place is obviously affecting me. I must be vigilant.) We have been here less than a day, and already the townsfolk are requesting meaningless tasks from us, with no promise of reward. To avoid attention we choose a few easy jobs to complete today and send Katelyn out.

After the first job she returns with an odd plant and a little money. At least we can slowly start replenishing our funds, and we know that our neighborhood expectations are not pro bono.

Her second task is to deliver a letter. I anxiously await her return to discover how valued such a simple service is here in this strange place. As she rounds the corner, instantly I know something is wrong.

CRAP! I know nothing of ponycorn medicine! Or hell, perhaps ponycorn psychology. She does seem kind of lazy. Here's hoping they're mostly like horses. We head to the barn where I saw some veterinary supplies earlier.

Fiddling with the equipment, I discover an interesting stethoscope which helps me pinpoint exactly the nature of Katelyn's illness. Of course, we'll need to spend more of our meager savings on materials for the cure. Without much of a choice, we procure the materials and make the medicine:

IMAGE(http://i.imgur.com/LKVif.jpg)

Katelyn glows as if the very nature of her illness is magical and it is being cast off:

And directly she is restored to her relatively meager status of "healthy":

So Katelyn is restored, but of course the medicine required more of our funds than Katelyn earned in her two simple tasks. I see some hard labor in Katelyn's future. Maybe a Rocky montage.

Perplexed -- and a little disgusted -- we leave our new ponycorn in the stable and head off to bed, curious as to what Grandpa was really doing here all those years.

Dude, did you seriously just write a magical pony AAR? Complete with screencaps?

Those graphics are insane! Such sparkles....

And I read the whole thing

I think I need to sit down.

You know, what we really need is a set of long-play YouTube videos. With music.
