Description
It's been a few weeks I admit, but here's a parody of the cover art of a game that came out last year. "Spec Ops The Line." Unique among shooters as at doesn't glorify war, rather it paints it in a bleak and at times downright dark tone. I won't say anymore about it because I don't want to ruin it for anyone that might consider playing it. Is it an absolutely amazing game? No, maybe not. Does it pull off its a critique of modern first person shooters flawlessly? No. But It's the only game in a hell of a long time that actually makes you think about it, and the topics it covers, well after you've finished playing it. And that is easily enough to garner a recommendation. (A link to the Zero Punctuation review for the curious. [link] )Vector credits time.
Twilight
Gilda
Owlowiscious
Soarin
Elements of Harmony
Canterlot
Cheers!
Edit: I've placed an image of Canterlot within Twilight to help tie it more to the original box art. Admittedly it's a little small, but any larger and I would have to re-size everything else to help accommodate it.

Lol Future Twilight Sparkle and the helicopters is Gilda and Soarin because they can fly! Including Owlicious LOL! Canterlot is Dubai, the Elements of Harmony are there, if only it was one of the Mane 6 as the main characters...
Good job on this!!!!!
Warning contains spoilers:Β
Saved 2 civilians, killed the cop that killed the thief's family, killed the guy who wasted the water, killed the civilians that hanged Sniper guy, I didn't shoot myself. I went home with the army.
Such a dark game, it was only on Captain Walker's head, he's a liar and he know what he did was wrong. But he either A. Gets away with it B. Pay for his sins.

Discord: I could never escape the reality of what happened here, that was my downfall, there, finished. I hope you like it.
Twilight: What the hell is going on?
Discord: You're eyes are opening up for the first time, it hurts, doesn't it?
Discord: Go on, what do you think?
Twilight: *Looks at the painting of burning ponies with a mother covering her foals eyes* You did this..
Discord: No, you did, your orders kill 47 innocent ponies, someone has to pay for you're crimes, Twilight. who's it gonna be
Discord: *Walks behind painting and vanishes.*
Twilight: "Discord..." *trots around the painting, and sees his statue behind it."
Twilight: "I'm done playing games, Discord."
Discord: "Are you, now? I assure you, this is no game."
*Twilight slowly trots up to the statue, eyes wide open in shock*
Discord: "It appears that rumors of my recent escape, have been, greatly exaggerated..."
Twilight: "This is impossible"
Discord: "Oh I assure you, it is"
Twilight: How?
Discord: Not how, but why, you were never meant to come here
(((Twilight: We have our orders, leave the city, radio command from outside the stone wall, they send in the cavalry, we go home.))
Twilight: What happened here was out of my control...
Discord: Was it? None of this would've happened if you just stopped. But on you marched. And for what?
Twilight: We tried to save you.
Discord: You're no savior. Your talents lie elsewhere.
(((Rainbow Dash: THIS IS YOUR FAULT GODDESS DAMN IT!)))
(((Applejack: Stop right there RD)))
(((Rainbow Dash: SHE WOULDN'T LISTEN)))
(((Applejack: WE DIDN'T HAVE A CHOICE)))
(((Rainbow Dash: SHE TURN US INTO FUCKING KILLERS)))
Twilight: This isn't my fault.
Twilight: *Talks in discords voice* It takes a strong mare to deny what's right in front of her. And if the truth is undeniable, you create your own.
(((Applejack: what the hell happened?)))
(((Rainbow Dash: I don't know, she just stop moving)))
(((Applejack: Twi, snap out of it!)))
(((Twilight: I get it, we have to choose))
Discord: The truth, Twilight, is that you're here because you wanted to feel like something you're not: A hero.
(((Twilight: *shocked seeing a image of rainbow dash from an enemy* RD?))
(((Rainbow: YOU LEFT ME TO DIE! *points a knife at twilight*)))
Discord: I'm here because you can't accept what you've done. It broke you.
(((Twilight: *picks up a broken radio* Princess, Princess please.))
(((Applejack: Whats going on twi?)))
(((Twilight: It's discord, he did it, all of it.))
Discord: You needed someone to blame, so you cast it on me. A statue. I know the truth is hard to hear Twilight, but it's time. You're all that's left and we can't live this lie forever. *points a pistol at twilight's reflection in the mirrior* Β I'm going to count to five, then I'm pulling the trigger.
Twilight: You're not real. This is all in my head.
Discord: Β Are you sure? Maybe it's in mine? One.
Twilight: No... everything, all of this, It was your fault!
Discord: Β If that's what you believe then shoot me. Two.
Twilight: I-I didn't mean to hurt anypony...
Discord: No-one ever does Twilight. Three.
TWilight: *points her horn at the discord reflection in the mirrior*
Discord: Four. Is this really what you want Twilight?
(Choose what you will do)

Too bad Spec Ops The Line didn't get the attention it deserves, I had a great time playing it despite the themes it depicted (especially the 'Willie Pete' scene at The Gate).
PS: Damn, you beat me to doing a parody cover of this.

It would be awesome if you had a runied Canterlot in the background or something, just to draw some more lines to the game ^^ And yes, that game is absolutely fantastic, much more for what it represent than it's gameplay.

That's actually a great idea. I didn't put too much thought behind that idea because there's not much room, but I'll have a quick play around with it and see what I can do.

There we go, added Canterlot in.

needs more rainbow dash but otherwise awesome pic

I was going to place Rainbow Dash in, but I felt it worked better with just Twilight being the only one of the main six.
