Of My Own Volition · 2:28pm Sep 1st, 2023
"If it exists, there's pony of it." Most, if not all of you, have heard this expression before.
At one of the groups I'm part of here on this site, someone posted that the video game company Volition was shutting down. I didn't recognize the name, so I did some checking at Wikipedia. As it turns out, back when they were known as Parallax Software, they developed several games that I grew up playing as a kid: the first two Descent games, the second of which is one of my all-time favorites (see my profile for the others).
Now, the reason I gave that quote at the beginning is that to date, I have yet to see a single MLP fan work that crosses over with Descent. Stories, artwork, nothing. And I am sorely tempted to write a simple one-shot (probably not more than 2,000 words or so) that depicts the Material Defender trading mine-clearing duties with a pony after he decides he wants a short break.
Haven't solidified anything yet, so I don't know if I will write it or not. If I do, it'll probably be after I finish M.L.G.'s latest chapter. Speaking of, this one's turning out to be a doozy, so I have to give it my full focus before I write anything else.
Anyway, that's it for now. Ciao mein, everyone.
P.S. - To everyone who witnessed some of the worst that nature had to throw at you down in Hawaii, you have my deepest sympathies.
