    Not to throw in a post about semantics, but... Now I know this was not really a reply to me personally, but I was one of the people who said it was not a disorder or disease, so I might as well throw in another 2 cents. "Illness", "disability", and "disease" are not by any means subjectively positive or negative in the slightest bit, at least not by the definitions of them that I read, in fact the only word you mentioned where that does apply is "condition". To quote dictionary.com Illness-unhealthy condition; poor health; indisposition; sickness. Disorder-a disturbance in physical or mental health or functions; malady or dysfunction: Disease-any harmful, depraved, or morbid condition, as of the mind or society Nothing subjective there.

    I would say that whether or not they are just socially awkward or are aspies is completely up the the observer. As an aspie myself I can assure to everyone from personal experience and from knowing others like me that it is not a disorder or disease of any kind.

    I read about this some time ago on Equestria Daily, I certainly look forward to the possibility of more Bronies, as well as watching the dubs to see what they are like.

    Okay, Shift beat me to it, but here is an image of what we are referring to... Sorry about the resolution, but it at least seems interesting.

    Every time some Bronies say that the show is somehow ruined for whatever reasons, I will drink.

    I recently bought some pony stuff at Hot Topic yesterday and asked the cashier how frequently Bronies shop here. He actually said that he got a lot, which probably explains why both him and the cashier I had from a previous experience did not give a surprised reaction (though to be honest, she may have been a Brony/Pegasister on outward observation).

    @Descant The clip is actually rather heart warming, either way it reminded me of Chrisinden's original post in this thread, though we have yet to see if his reaction is similar.
  8. Aeon Of Dreams
    I would certainly say you are. Oh and because you seem to be new here, at least to me, then... This actually reminds me of how Andrew W.K. found out he was a Brony.

    I never really thought of any of the Twilicorn, or a lot of the other things to be too much of a big deal, except Derpy seeing as she is one of my favorite ponies. But excluding Derpy (which was more an external case as it was brought about by a lawsuit) you could argue that the entire existence of the Brony Fandom is a result of us trusting the writers even though they had a "tough sell". Let's be honest, I doubt a vast majority of Bronies, before FIM started, believed that any amount of writing could convince them that they could seriously like a show about magical talking ponies learning the value of friendship, and yet they pulled it off. So in the case of the whole Twilicorn thing, I really don't see it as a big deal. The writers have been able to impress us in more amazing ways (such as the one listed above) before, and I don't see any reason that we should default to the position that "they have ruined everything!" (at least, not before we have seen it) because past experience tells me that there is no reason to go with that position, and no reason to do so now.

    7/10 Was not that into it at first, but it started to grow on me at the end.
  11. Aeon Of Dreams
    I have signed petitions before, and have yet to have it used against me in any sort of way (then again, the one I signed was from Google). But either way I think you would be fine.

    This list probably will not be complete, but here is the stuff I can think of now. -As mentioned before, I can experience euphoria, but on top of that I also experience music euphoria, dream euphoria, and nostalgia euphoria (if that exists). -Just as hinted above, Music and Dreams. -Nature. -Good fiction. -Inspiring/amazing real life stories (typically about war, though not always). -On some random occasions, loss of sense of reality, time, and things of that nature make me happy. -My Little Pony and all the fan creations of course.
  13. Aeon Of Dreams
    Both Rarity and (to a lesser extent) Rainbow Dash grew on me. I did not hate the characters but I originally did not care for them as nearly as much as I do now.
  14. Aeon Of Dreams
    I don't think she was thinking about having them do a fighting game for her new project, after all she did say "totally new", at the same time, I am not Lauren Faust and have not met her. On the other hand, I think what she meant was that she would do something legitimately new, rather then something she is making.
  15. Aeon Of Dreams
    News of this made it to Lauren Faust, not that she can do anything from a legal standpoint, but she did make a very nice offer. Yet another reason to love Lauren Faust.
  16. Aeon Of Dreams
    Found some more.

    I liked the episode but I especially liked that they put the CMC in there, and like pretty much everyone else I liked the industrial hair dryer gag.
  18. Aeon Of Dreams
    Sudden cravings and moods aside, I would probably have to go with pasta. Though lately I have also been craving burgers and sweet stuff...I am such an American.
  19. Aeon Of Dreams
    I got a Vinyl of Derpy from Hot Topic, though I am thinking of whether or not to get Rainbow Dash too.
  20. Aeon Of Dreams
    I tried Fluttershy for the first time last night, and while I don't think I got a full transformation, I managed to get my change my right hand, somewhat change my left, and somewhat change my feet. Physically I felt different too, either way it was nice, though I will probably try it again tonight.
  21. Aeon Of Dreams
    Welcome to the forum and I hope you enjoy your stay, and while I am here, what video games are you into?
  22. Aeon Of Dreams
    8/10 Nice OC sig...sorry this is not that long...but still, it looks cool.

    I would have to go with Captain Price. This is because of his SAS training, years of experience, and his outright badassery. Menendez certainly is pretty badass too, and has done some pretty amazing things, but in context they are not as amazing as they appear. The Pananmanian soldiers he fights are not in any regard as lethal as a majority of the world's armed forces and Menendez did have combat skills he undoubtly picked up from his cartel years. I would also like to point out that his rampage was more likely something done for sake of symbolism (as I talked about more in length in the main Black Ops 2 thread on this site) rather then seriously portraying him as someone who could take many shotgun shells and keep going. After all, at the end of the day, a single pistol round to his head will still kill him, should you choose to do that at the end of the game (and even when it is done earlier, Mason's aim was more or less off and surviving a shot to the brain, while very rare, is not unheard of in real life). So yeah, Price all the way.

    Well I would consider the Brony Community challenging gender roles and double standards as something more of an unintentional byproduct of liking the show, and not the cause, as a vast majority of us love the show, because...well we love the show. However there is no mistaking that, if attacked for liking the show, then we can appear as though we are in a movement, again in the sense that it goes against gender norms and in that us appearing as a movement in this case is most likely unintentional. It should be noted that the Brony community would probably be useful as an inspiration to join such movements and an example to be used to make a point about gender double standards. But generally speaking I would not call us a movement. @DeiStar I would like to point out that the existence of, the viewpoint of, or the creation of a "Brony Movement" would not/should not, axiologically speaking, compromise the integrity or worth of a Rights movement of any kind simply because a lesser thing fits the definition of a "movement", and (if you ask me) it is very ridiculous to propose such. Also, strictly speaking, if it was a Movement challenging (most likely) gender roles then it would be a social movement, and probably a "general tier" one at most/if that, on the other hand you compared them to "top tier" human rights movements/issues. I don't think I need to explain how very different those are in both meaning and importance. In that sense, I do think that the meaning of "movement" in that post is very over romanticized.

    Thought I might as well post this here as I have only really mentioned this in discussions with other friends. But anyway, I do think that the story had something intelligent/well done, at least in when it comes to it's concept. If you look at the plot of BO2, then it is technically about all the countries that got screwed over in some way during the Cold War (specifically the countries or groups America took advantage of). The Mujaheddin, Noriega, Savimbi, and Oliver North were very real guys, though the game does not really explore what they did, it is still very cool in a fridge logic way. Then we get to Menendez, who is a direct personification of the countries who got screwed over. The theme of use overusing drones and someone hijacking their controls is also an interesting theme. As for the multiplayer, it is not bad, but aside from that similar COD feel, I preferred it when I using more common weapons and playing as more recognizable factions. I also felt that a lot of stuff here somewhat goes more into sci-fi, rather then that more "arcady-realism" feeling you got in previous games. It was cool, but I did not hang onto it for that long, I kind of missed the older MW games. Though not by any means a bad game, just a personal gameplay taste/choice.
