Eeyup, for me it all started with this here video. Back then I had absolutely no idea FiM existed, though, I did know a little of the previous gens. So on that afternoon, being the nerd aaand geek I am, I decided to celebrate by posting a random video about pie yes with an e on Facebook and if it was going to be about pie why not make it epic? So I just typed Epic Pie into YouTube and that was the first result.
 
The character models of the ponies struck such a powerful cord in me that I had to see more. So I went on a You might also like adventure and my god did I love. By that night, I was watching a mashup vid of Feeling Pinkie Keen with the Bikini Atoll nuclear test, so that every time something fell on Twis head you see the test. That video was almost episode length like this description Xp so I said THATS IT I HAVE TO WATCH AN EPISODE ! However, being a massive cartoon geek I had to watch it from the beginning. Thus, then and there I watched Friendship is Magic part 1 and 2 and Ive never looked back.
 
Incidentally I know that my very first interaction with ponies was actually the Milky Mare flash game on Newgrounds about a year before pi day. I swear I was just wondering around Newgrounds and happen to come across it . . . and play it . . . and, and thats all.
 
I just now realized Pinkie’s on the right AJ”s on the left: apple pie. (took me two years to see that)
