I was browsing Kotaku one day when I came across this video: <a href=\"http:\/\/youtu.be\/egrlzkKa6O8\" title=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=egrlzkKa6O8&amp;feature=youtu.be\" class=\"attachment\" id=\"attachment-6947\" rel=\"nofollow external\">http:\/\/youtu.be\/egrlzkKa6O8<\/a>. Naturally, I was extremely confused as to why such a thing had been created. When it was followed up by Ponycraft 2 (<a href=\"http:\/\/youtu.be\/JJbAT1wzS8U\" title=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=JJbAT1wzS8U&amp;feature=youtu.be\" class=\"attachment thumbnail\" id=\"attachment-6948\" rel=\"nofollow external\">http:\/\/youtu.be\/JJbAT1wzS8U<\/a>), I knew I had to get the bottom of this. So I put up a journal on my DA page, asking my friends for their two cents. The call was answered by @<span class=\"vcard\"><a href=\"http:\/\/rainbowdash.net\/user\/1645\" class=\"url\" title=\"Raven Feather\"><span class=\"fn nickname\">ravenfeather<\/span><\/a><\/span>, who watched the first two episodes. You can imagine my further confusion when she returned to say that I needed to watch them, too! I resisted for about a week, but she insisted, and I finally agreed to watch it. And the rest, as they say, is history."}
