Well, the Holidays are approaching fast, and I thought it couldn't be a better time to start a blog like this. Judging by the title, this is probably exactly what you think it is, a video game review blog. Let me start off by saying that I'm not one of those people who are biased towards a certain franchise. Whether it's good or bad, I always give the game the time and playthrough it deserves before giving final verdicts (Though, there are some games I can tell are bad by just looking at them. *
Castle Mane-ia
Season 4, Episode 3
Three sub-plots in one episode?! Aww yeah! It looks like this season is off to a very strong start. I thought this episode had the highest entertainment value since Lesson Zero, and I absolutely loved how each of the Mane 6's unique character quirks were played here. True to its title (though admittedly I've never played any of the Castlevania games ), the "haunted castle" vibe was very much alive throughout the episode, giving it a fee
Well, this semester is coming to an end and I will be starting my third next month. The weather is perfect and it all seems good as of right now. That's not why I made this blog though. So, let's skip right to the meat and potatoes of the matter.
I am here to talk about something. It has bothered me for a little while and I feel the need to get it off my chest. Just about everyone here has a talent or something great about them. Whether it be art, storytelling, or just plain likability. They
Okay, yet again I'm going to remind everyone reading that my intent here is not a review or a critique. That's not what I do.
Instead this is watching the various episodes of My Little Pony with the intent of pulling out any details that can help inform the worldbuilding around the setting itself. That includes cultural events, festivals, architecture, clothing styles, references to other cultures, and whatnot. I've been doing this for all the prior generations, and I have finally hit the cu
Oh well well well! It's Day One of December! ⌠_⌠ and there's the Semester Assessments coming up... starting TOMORROW! :okiedokielokie: . So this week is possibly what I call the 'all inactivity, do packets' week... and my computer access will probably be limited...
Oh but still, I'm an intelligent man after all... so teachers, :comeatus: .
Finally the moment has arrived!
It's the 1st of December here in the UK and I can finally start listening to christmas songs and dec the halls!
It is my favourite time of the year, I love everything about Christmas! Snow, tree, decorations, presents, spending time with family, celebrating Jesus birth, the meal, christmas morning, mulled wine, carroll singing, its just all awesome!
It is also 2 years (not to the day but ish) that I first found MLP as well, what a great 2 years it has

So that pineapple thing was just a test, and this is my actual first blog. I'm bored, and want to write about stuff. Sooo~, let's get started, I guess.
I feel like I'm the only "chill brony" out there, if that makes any sense at all. Sure, I like the show, and admit that it's become my newest obsession, but I just feel like others take it WAY farther than I would ever take it, and that I'm relatively alone in the fandom. There are people out there that over-analyze every single detail about
After the home run that was the Season 4 premiere, "Castle Mane-ia" was the perfect episode to get the season proper underway. After watching it twice I can honestly say that, in my opinion, this is one of the funniest episodes of MLP to date, and a very clever one too, even if it does utilize the "group of friends unknowingly all in the same creepy location" trope (which I actually thought was a sweet homage to shows such as the original "Scooby Doo" that frequently utilized that same trope, d

I HATED season 3.
I'll say it. I can hardly watch most of the episodes.
But, any of you who know me should be pretty accustomed to the favoritism I have for Rarity, so I hope it's visible why.
Anywhom, Season 3 treated my best pony like dirt. It did. At least, I feel it did.
However, even without this bias, I feel it was the worst season yet; it had its high points (One Bad Apple, Magic Duel, and The Crystal Empire are 3 of my favorite episodes) but it had lower low points than
Oh, it's not? Well we can't all be perfectly on time. Where's the fun in that?

Spoilers of course. My initial thoughts / review. Screenshots and other fun stuff.
Just as I had hoped, the box/keys seem to be the theme for the whole season. Also, why is Spike feather dusting with the room in this condition? Gotta clean up them books first, Spike.
Not the last time I thought "Poor Spike" this episode. I really have enjoyed Spike more this season so far as compared to previously in the show.
Ahhh! Right after I mention I'm interested in this place,
I'm laughing at all the people that said season 3 sucked and left, because season 4 is shaping up to the be the best season. We've got to-notch animation all the way through, good writing, good humor, and what appears to be an actual story arc instead of scattered one-shot episodes.
Honestly, it's been a while since I enjoyed an episode quite as much as I've enjoyed the start of Season 4.
I wrote this back when it was leaked, and my impressions remain the same. Check 'em out below.

What I liked:
Fantastic animation. The lighting and shadowing were great, giving the characters depth and atmosphere mood.
Excellent AppleDash chemistry. Not shipping, but their friendship and friendly rivalry played off each other. Chemistry at its finest.
AJ, your story's actually SCARY. MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Good use of continuity. No true results, but at least the box wasn't lef
Part 1:
Our main character, Twilight, and her faithful companion/assistant/surrogate brother Spike is set out on a quest to make friends against her will, instead of averting a disaster... or so she thinks. Hilarity ensues as she tries to avert the disaster instead. Also, this gives us our first look at the other main characters as she gets to interact with each of them.
The execution of this plot is pretty solid all around, the scenarios flow well into eachother and everything makes sen
I have long wanted to do reviews of MLP:FiM. However, then it hit me that I could make a comparison and review blog shared with another series that got a fanbase much different from what was expected- certainly not as MLP, but still, W.I.T.C.H. has a sizable adult male fanbase. Also because I feel the W.I.T.C.H. cartoon gets a bit more flack than it deserves.
This blog will primarily deal with the cartoons, and once I've worked through them, I'll go for the comics.
