My look at Episode 100, "Slice of Life"

Let me just start by saying that when this episode was first announced last year, I wasn’t exactly hyped for it. Even with what little they revealed, it was obvious that the episode would be nothing but fan-service and pandering of the highest order and that to me smelled like the perfect recipe for disaster. I’m pretty sure most people still remember the debacle that ensued after Derpy’s speaking role in “The Last Round-Up” and I just pictured it being like that, only on Red-Bull. I tried to be

Kung Fury

seriously, you all need to watch this piece of pure art Kung Fury is a short film packed with action, comedy, dinosaur-riding vikings with miniguns, nazis and kung fu, all in a nice VHS style video celebrating the beauty of the 80s!     Also who could forget the wonderfully 80s style theme song sung by Hasselhoff?

MLP FiM - 100th Episode Review (SPOILERS)

So, it seems the long awaited 100th episode hath arrived, bringing with it a colourful cast of background ponies and a multitude of crazy shenanigans that only such an episode could pull off. Many were worried about this episode; sure the concept seemed a little off, there was a lot that could go wrong.   But in my opinion, it was one glorious celebration of both MLP FiM and its large brony following.   ----   THE STORY   So, first off the story. One thing leading up to the e

Slice of Life or: How to Literally Jump the Shark after More Than 91 Episodes

First off: If you expected to get an over-the-top-episode with this one, you were right. “Slice of Life” is, without being as casually random as “Make New Friends but Keep Discord”, one of the most entertaining episodes of the show. But this status comes with a cost. Before I skip or leave anything out, I should talk about the plot first.   So, instead of focusing on any characters of the Mane Cast, this episode starts with Cranky and Matilda, two characters we’ve seen close to nothing of sinc

Do Review Scores Have Any Actual Meaning?

I'm going to be very blunt about this, I don't like number scores. I feel like they take try to quantify a qualitative value, and inadvertently are opening their review to unnecessary criticism by doing so.   "What makes you like one six better than the other? If one is better than the other how are they ranked the same?" They shout from the comment section.   Here's the real question, though. Do these numbers actually hold any meaning, or is there more to it than that? I don't think I can d

I'm Starting Fresh with MLP: FiM

Now I might have reached the point where I feel like I really need to take a break from MLP: FiM and the fandom in general. Remember how Tommy Oliver rage quit the brony fandom? Well I seem to be having a very similar situation he was in. I started watching FiM in April 2014 but didn't get into it until June of that year, and that summer I was obsessed with My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, I was watching like 6 episodes every day and saw most of the series, I was very enthusiastic of the sho

Sore losers in gaming

I don't care if you're good or not, if you get owned by a noob its your fault not a gun's. If you complain and call that player who kicked your butt a no skill piece of garbage; you've admitted you're lying. Not their fault you can't beat a blink shotgunner, cry babies all around when it happens; all this means is you're not invincible. Get arrogant and you will lose, that's the price of it; i have seen many get knocked off their pedestals like that. The less you complain and moan, the better yo

As the 100th MLP episode is just around the corner, I've decided to make my Top 5 Favorite Background Ponies list. But Photon? Why top 5 instead of top 10?

Oh Octavia...it's such a shame that she didn't

Persona 4 Golden and the Amalgamation of Story and Gameplay [POSSIBLE SPOILERS]

It's no secret that Persona 4 Golden is my all-time favorite RPG, however I haven't really explained why. I think that Persona 4 Golden's Social Links are a fantastic way to combine a strong sense of story and gameplay progression. Join me as I take a look at a large part what makes this game appeal to me.   P4G starts off slow, it means to construct a framework for the story (such as introducing important characters, concepts, the setting, and the tone), however this also acts as an introduct
