  1. Welcome to the forum! Have fun! I think Sunset Shimmer is cute, too!
  2. I was recently vote-kicked from a tf2 mvm server, and it made me think of this: http://www.thisamericanlife.org/radio-archives/episode/27/The-Cruelty-of-Children?act=3#play

      I'm sorry that happened to you.

      I didn't take it too personally. It just irks me that even online gaming seems to encourage this kind of thing.

      Yeah, that's true. Well, I'm glad you didn't take it too personally.

  3. I've posted this before, but here's something Id' like to share with you. It was created by a Canadian poet named Shane Koyczan, along with about 80(?) animators from various countries. I discovered it from a tweet by Tara Strong. Stay strong, and keep being the great person you are!
  4. Wait! I'm going to have a diabetic attack. Okay, your friend's OC looks really sweet. You should develop her more.

  5. This video is really simple run cycles, but it was so nicely put together that I got totally sucked in... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LA-LhpLvjzY&feature=em-uploademail You just got to love those slow-motion pony runs!
  6. This animation, from a direct-to-DVD movie called Mickey's House of Villains, is Mickey & Minnie's take on Hansel and Gretel. There's a warmth, subtlety and expressive range in this kind of animation that just can't be fully reproduced by computer software.
  7. This video was apparently a family affair. This is a lovely pop ballad well performed with great video editing. Keep a box of kleenex handy...
  8. I'm not ususlly a fan of cover versions, but i'll make an exception. This is a truly epic cover of a very old prog rock tune. .Rock on...
  9. What do you do with the mad that you feel When you feel so mad you could bite? When the whole wide world seems oh, so wrong... And nothing you do seems very right? What do you do? Do you punch a bag? Do you pound some clay or some dough? Do you round up friends for a game of tag? Or see how fast you go? It's great to be able to stop When you've planned a thing that's wrong, And be able to do something else instead And think this song: I can stop when I want to Can stop when I wish. I can stop, stop, stop any time. And what a good feeling to feel like this And know that the feeling is really mine. Know that there's something deep inside That helps us become what we can. For a girl can be someday a woman And a boy can be someday a man. --Fred M. Rogers Mister Rogers' Neighborhood
  10. This is a music video of one of my favorite brony songs. Here's a link to the original uncut version of the song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DwjoOiIqLCk I shed a little tear when I first heard it.
  11. http://www.watchcartoononline.com/adventure-time-season-5-episode-20-shh One of my favorite Adventure Time episodes. The show is always "out there", but this episode is unique. The premise is so simple,but so funny!
  12. The story here is really simple, but it's very nicely done. It's not particularly emotionally heavy, but it doesn't need to be, and it has a happy ending, too!
  13. Sadly, this isn't the original video. It's a slower reconstructed version of a 1968 short animation using the then radical technique called kinestasis. It's a series of still photo images flashed at a high frame rate.
  14. For Mother's Day. My mom is rehabilitating from knee surgery. It's not easy for her because she's getting on in years. Even if you don't celebrate Mother's Day where you are, take the time to tell your mom how much she means to you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9mgpy5j2Ejo&feature=related
  15. I'm a big Fluttershy, fan too! The fanfic sounds interesting! Welcome and have fun!
  16. Better keep your distance or I'll play a li'l tune on mah Gee-tarr!
  17. Personally, I don't even use the term "Mary Sue"; it's nebulous. If I find a character bothersome, it's due to something specific. It's just better to be clear and specific than use vague, cutesy fan terms. However, the best definition I could figure out for Mary Sue is this: Mary Sue is a reader reaction to characters or events that are perceived to interfere with the willing suspension of disbelief. That's just my best guess, though.
  18. "Judgment at Nuremberg" (1961) Ernst Janning Confesses his Guilt to the Tribunal Janning: I wish to testify about the Feldenstein case because it was the most significant trial of the period. It is important not only for the tribunal to understand it, but for the whole German people. But in order to understand it, one must understand the period in which it happened. There was a fever over the land, a fever of disgrace, of indignity, of hunger. We had a democracy, yes, but it was torn by elements within. Above all there was fear, fear of today, fear of tomorrow, fear of our neighbors, and fear of ourselves. Only when you understand that can you understand what Hitler meant to us, because he said to us: "Lift your heads. Be proud to be German. There are devils among us, communists, liberals, Jews, gypsies. Once these devils will be destroyed your misery will be destroyed." It was the old, old story of the sacrificial lamb. What about those of us who knew better, we who knew the words were lies and worse than lies? Why did we sit silent? Why did we take part? Because we loved our country. What difference does it make if a few political extremists lose their rights? What difference does it make if a few racial minorities lose their rights? It is only a passing phase. It is only a stage we are going through. It will be discarded sooner or later. Hitler himself will be discarded -- sooner or later. The country is in danger. We will march out of the shadows! We will go forward. FORWARD is the great password. And history tells how well we succeeded, Your Honor. We succeeded beyond out wildest dreams. The very elements of hate and power about Hitler that mesmerized Germany, mesmerized the world. We found ourselves with sudden powerful allies. Things that had been denied to us as a democracy were open to us now. The world said, "Go ahead. Take it. Take it! Take Sudetenland! Take the Rhineland! Re-militarize it! Take all of Austria! Take it!" And then, one day we looked around and found that we were in an even more terrible danger. The ritual begun in this courtroom swept over the land like a raging, roaring disease. What was going to be a "passing phase" had become the way of life. Your Honor, I was content to sit silent during this trial. I was content to tend my roses. I was even content to let counsel try to save my name, until I realized that in order to save it, he would have to raise the specter again. You have seen him do it. He has done it, here, in this courtroom. He has suggested that the Third Reich worked for the benefit of people. He has suggested that we sterilized men for the welfare of the country. He has suggested that perhaps the old Jew did sleep with the 16 year old girl after all. Once more, it is being done -- for love of country. It is not easy to tell the truth. But if there is to be any salvation for Germany, we who know our guilt must admit it -- whatever the pain and humiliation. I had reached my verdict on the Feldenstein case before I ever came into the courtroom. I would have found him guilty, whatever the evidence. It was not a trial at all. It was a sacrificial ritual in which Feldenstein, the Jew, was the helpless victim. Hans Rolfe: Your Honor, I must interrupt. The defendant is not aware of what he's saying. He's not aware of the implications! Janning: I am aware. I am aware! My counsel would have you believe we were not aware of the concentration camps. Not aware. Where were we? Where were we when Hitler began shrieking his hate in Reichstag? Where were we when our neighbors were being dragged out in the middle of the night to Dachau?! Where were we when every village in Germany has a railroad terminal where cattle cars were filled with children being carried out to their extermination! Where were we when they cried out in the night to us. Deaf, dumb, blind!! Hans Rolfe: Your Honor, I must protest! Janning: My counsel says we were not aware of the extermination of the millions. He would give you the excuse: We were only aware of the extermination of the hundreds. Does that make us any the less guilty? Maybe we didn't know the details. But if we didn't know, it was because we didn't want to know. Emil Hahn: Traitor! Traitor! Judge Haywood: Order! Order! Order! Put that man [Hahn] back in his seat and keep him there. Janning: I am going to tell them the truth. I am going to tell them the truth if the whole world conspires against it. I am going to tell them the truth about their Ministry of Justice. Werner Lammpe, an old man who cries into his Bible now, an old man who profited by the property expropriation of every man he sent to a concentration camp. Friedrich Hofstetter, the "good German" who knew how to take orders, who sent men before him to be sterilized like so many digits. Emil Hahn, the decayed, corrupt bigot, obsessed by the evil within himself. And Ernst Janning, worse than any of them because he knew what they were, and he went along with them. Ernst Janning: Who made his life excrement, because he walked with them. --Abby Mann
  19. I'm mostly thinking of people who could do great cartoon voices. In no particular order: Carol Burnett Viki Lawrence Tim Conway Angela Lansbury David Spade Mel Brooks Penny Marshall Gary Marshall Ben Stien Lily Tomlin Frank Oz David Ogden Stiers Joann Worley Casey Kasem Joan Rivers People I wish were still around to do it: Dawes Butler Jim Backus Harvey Korman June Foray Mel Blanc Eleanor Audley Bea Benederet Don Knotts Sterling Holloway Paul Frees Stan Freberg I could go on, but it's getting way too long.
