Starswirl’s writing is the funniest thing about this. Like, the arrogant jerk apparently turns his notes on amniomorphic spellcraft into a rambling, pointless autobiography filled with such thrilling topics as a word-for-word recounting of a conversation he once had about his beard.
As a certain Warhammer webshow once said, “THIS IS NOT RELEVANT INFORMATION!!”

This is Twilight we’re talking about. Her potential for long-winded explanations is not to be underestimated, especially when she’s doing a dramatic reading of what’s presumably a very dense and extensive text on magical theory by her favorite mage.
I always knew that pony loves to hear the sound of her own voice.
Ah, of course. Though that just begs the question of why Twi’s video is over ten hours long.
It’s actually only eight hours, but methinks that’s beside the point.
I mean, I know it’s probably just a joke, but…
It’s obviously a joke.
I find it highly unrealistic that anyone (even Twilight) could talk about anything (even Starswirl the Bearded) for such an absurd length of time. What’s even more absurd is the fact that this video is only a single part in a series of five-hundred episode (with each episode presumably being somewhere close to the same length as this).

You’re not actually supposed to sit down and watch/listen to 10-hour song loop videos all the way to the end. That’s not what’s intended. The idea is that you’d play it in the background so that you can listen to it for however long you want to while doing something else. The only reason it’s ten hours is so that you’re effectively guaranteed that the song won’t run out.
@phallen1
Yeah I know THAT, but does anyone anywhere have the time to sit down and watch/listen to ten hours of ANYTHING? I mean, are there people out there actually watch the damn things all the way to the end WITHOUT skipping over 95% of it? I mean, we all have those songs that we can listen to over and over and over again so many times in a row, but ten hours is just absurd.
Yeah I those things too…. These wippersnapers and their Transforming Gorillas. Phaa! Everypony knows he was a flatnosed Freightliner! And they turned Grimlock into a Construticon!? I want to go back to the 80’s where everything was better!

Hey, I saw the original Star Wars when it first came out. Watched it in something called a “drive-in theater”, where you (or your parents) would park the car in front of a HUGE outdoor movie screen and listen to the movie via a speaker you got from a stand outside the driver’s side window.
I also getting up and walking to the TV in order to change the channel, which you didn’t do as often because there were only 4 or 5 channels available.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to go and take my Geritol.
When I ever feel old, I just walk outside and see my 11 year old brother trying to hide his fussing at his Call of Duty game, and I feel less bad about feeling old. Besides, I’m only 20, so I can also look at that.
And this is the best thing it’s turning to.

My sides have left the Earth’s orbit.
Twilight gets really, really, really bored when her friends are on Cutie Map missions without her.
Assuming all her vids are 8 hours long, that’s over 160 full days of videos.

You’re not going to sit there giving it 100% of your focus, you’re going to play it in the background while you do something else.

“Extended” loops of the songs. This is seriously a thing some people do on YouTube.
MFW yank off the knob :|
CRANK UP THE VOLUME, AND YANK OFF THE KNOB
cable that early, nice. we had a VHF antenna until ’92 and then got a satellite dish.
We had six local channels in 1975; in ’76 we got cable and it went up to 12.
we had basicly 3 and one that was 50% of the day mostly white noise because it was not from our country ^^
