MLP Forums Banner Reviews: Standard Protocol

Last night, I posted a question about whether I should review the MLP Forums banners featured atop of the message board. Nine clicked on the poll, and three people legitimately answered why in the comments.   That is more than enough to sway my decision: I will review each weekly banner.   Compared to my other reviews (my most common being a list format for episodes and season overviews), this one will follow a different format. The review will be divided to standardized sections, whose purp

Entry 2

Entry two:   So earlier today, while I was working on a new puppet, I hear a thump on the side of my wagon. It was a curious thump, especially since I'm parked a little out of the way of the road where nopony would mess with my wagon. However, in my experience, when something thumps my wagon, it means one of three things are happening:   1. Somepony accidentally bumped into my while walking. (Which in this case is out of the question)   2. Someponies are getting a little frisky' think

Entry 1

Dear journal,   Today was pretty interesting. It started off like any normal day: get up, go through my morning routine, and prepare for work. Right now I'm in Ponyville, performing for the locals.   After a long day of performing for the school kids, making paper bag puppets with the kids, and trying to keep three fillies who called themselves, 'The Cutie Mark Crusaders,' I started a late evening performance about how the Everfree forest became evil for the adults. It was a creepy tale abou

About this blog

This blog is about my original character, Pinoak Stringhoof, thoughts and feelings as he goes through his adventures. The adventures, of course are whatever roleplays I have him in. Right now, it will only focus on him, but as time goes on, it may include other characters. If you are one that likes to read through all the RPs like a story, Pinoak's entries may include massive spoilers. Other than that, I hope you enjoy reading the thoughts of my character.

Trying my hand at literature

I've read countless classic novels, and I've written several essays, lectures and short stories in my days.   So I thought to myself. "Hey, maybe I should try and create an actual story about my OC Dimitri." I'm not being over confidant or bragging at all. Everything I've written has been in Russian, and reading tons of classics doesn't make me an expert at this....   I might as well try. I've been a little obsessed with the idea of Dimitri using dark magic and being corrupted from his usual

Why I like Diamond Tiara

Alternate title: Leave Diamond Tiara Alone   Foreword       Diamond Tiara, the undisputed most hated character of the show for many. It’s a pretty safe assumption that you absolutely loathe her or at least dislike her heavily. I was lurking through some of the dormant threads in the dark depths of the forum and I was a bit surprised at the amount of hatred the members had (and probably still have) for Diamond Tiara. Well, not so much surprised as disheartened I guess. As crazy as it may

Thinking out loud.

This is more of an open letter to a few old friends of mine here:     As opposed to lying in my bed and falling asleep as most normalites would, last night, I felt more inclined to lie down on the floor, with the monitor, keyboard, and mouse of my computer at my level, so that I could easily reach it.   There was something eating away at my mind that I couldn't shake off and it's the idea that some parts of me, or rather, some notable people, are drifting away. Now if I find someone who h

A kind of thank-you message.

(Warning: this is a very personal message.)   I don't really know why I'm writing this...but here goes. This is kind of a personal message; something I've never really told any of you before.   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2G6SR0TYlWw   I was listening to this beautiful song by MandoPony, and it had struck a chord with me...but I really didn't know why. Then just now, about a minute ago, it clicked.   Before I became a brony I was going from fandom to fandom, from place to place and a

Could it be 3 my lucky number?

This year has a lot of 3's in it for me...   In my timezone, I am minutes away to the end of my birthday. It is on march 23rd, I'm turning 23 today, march is the 3rd month of the calendar, and we are in the year 2013. I think I'm missing more 3's but these are the ones that I can think of.   like I said before, my numbers are aligning and it looks like it is 3, it happens once in a lifetime!   anyways, it's a bummer because my favorite number is 6 ...but I know I'm liking 3 more XD, thou

I'm not like my favorite pony.

So lately, after all this studying for school, avoiding my usual things, as well as any means of communication..I realized that I'm not like Rarity, my favorite pony. I'm more like Twilight Sparkle.   Twilight is well known for being very organized, very studious, someone who loves to read, and someone who prefers to be alone. I ignore people while I try to get things done. I'd do ANYTHING to meet a crunching deadline. For just one day, all I wanted to do was to be alone.   I took a walk e

Should I review each MLP Forums banner (from today onwards)?

Weekly banners are submitted to this Website, and the one most popular by staff is featured atop of the message board regardless of the location and time. Sometimes, they're uploaded on time, but sometimes they're tardy (like today ).   Throughout the status updates, people like myself comment on these banners with short comments and micro-reviews. They are either praised, snubbed, or looking at them critically (a.k.a., analytically).   What I want to do is something we haven't seen yet, bu

Snowdrop Review/Analysis

Since I saw this video made by Silly Filly Studios on Youtube, I decided to give my review on this animation masterpiece. I know a lot of people have mixed directions about the video but, you go to admit a lot of liquid pride was shed that day.   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=do6RDSwaWek   Basically, this fan-made film is about a blind young pegasus filly named Snowdrop. Who made a discovery in winter and it changes life in Equestria forever. Made by Silly Filly Studios ©   What I thou

The Fizz Buzz test and solutions

So on Codecademy, in one of the tracks, you have to solve FizzBuzz. A simple test to see if you can write some of the easy loops and conditional structures in a language.   Fizz Buzz is a game, where you count the numbers, but if a number is divisible by 3 you say "Fizz" and when it is divisible by 5 you say "Buzz". If divisible by both you say "FizzBuzz".   Now their solution is slightly annoying to me as it isn't very elegant and just proposes a very nested if structure. See code below.

My Theory about the Finale

First off, I posted a kind of summary of this theory in the thread about the episode, but I decided to go into more detail. This is about the first half of the episode, specifically the spell.   I believe that Starswirl's spell was meant more as a lesson than an actual spell for practical use. I believe that the spell is meant to show that even through magic, you cannot truly change the destiny of somebody. This is supported by the fact that having the ponies do what they were meant to changes
