It’s at 11 now?! Oh well, I was up at 6 anyway.

One minute!

At least someone beyond us is asking questions.
 
Intro seems more or less the same.

I am reminded that my tv is a piece of shit and I’m not seeing this on high def.

Spike being Spike as usual….

streams are not so great, I think I will wait.

Spike crushed Pinkie’s parents that fucker

Spike you fuckin nerd.

Spike and Big Mac hang out, nice!

Pinkie, the only thing you’ve ever organized are parties and surprises.
 
And surprise parties.
