    Honestly? I'd be starting Manning. That Denver offense just looks stupid good right now. Also, you apparently have a starting receiver (Brad Smith) that is on injured reserve. You need to rotate him out of your starting lineup if you wanna win any matchups, because you probably can't win with a zero from one of your wide receivers. I don't know if you noticed that or not.

    Oh man. I just got home and saw Andre Johnson's stat line. I was down by 27 points and he scored 26. That is fantastic beyond words.

    IMPORTANT PRE-COMMENT DISCLAIMER: If you are one of the people who unironically enjoyed the video in question, I don't think any less of you for it. I don't know you personally and am in no position to judge. HOWEVER... @@Champion RD92, and @@MrHaru, are not being nearly direct or concise enough, so I will. Buck EVERYTHING about "Smile HD". Every single solitary thing. And all of the numerous redundant splatter-fests that will get uploaded by Youtube shock jocks because this one generated a ton of views? Buck those, too. That's it. There is something genuinely twisted about this, right to its core. Might as well put these characters in a Saw parody while we're at it, right? In fact, that'd be a MORE worthwhile exercise than this was, because even after those movies turned into redundant splatter-fests, they were still twisted morality plays with an actual story. (Convoluted and little more than an excuse to tie the gore scenes together, sure, but it was THERE, and you could appreciate it for that if you really wanted to.) This has NOTHING going for it. Other videos have done "unexpected violence for the lulz" much more effectively, and managed to do so without desecrating something as good as FiM. Even the remix of the song really isn't anything special. I hope in vain, but please let there be a day when... stuff... like this doesn't happen anymore.

    Maybe taking Matt Prater at kicker wasn't as good of an idea as I thought, if all he'll be doing is kicking extra points all year.

    Yeah, we definitely should get to at least 8, otherwise we'll be facing off against each other player like three times and that'd get too repetitive. If I knew any other football fans on these forums I'd PM them about this league, but alas, I don't.
  6. Bhending the Rules
    I certainly hope we get to the ten player limit. It'd suck to set the thing up, get my draft list ready, upload that badass picture for my team logo, and then not get to use all of it.

    Enjoying the fan created-content doesn't make one a brony. That makes them a fan of that art. That's it. If you want to consider yourself a brony, there's really no excuse for not checking out the show that inspired the art. Even the whole series only amounts to ~24 hours at this point, and it ain't like it's hard to find.

    I'd be up for an all-brony fantasy football league, but I'm not sure if I have a profile on any of those sites. So even though I'll vote for NFL.com, I really have no preference at all.

    Well, that was your first mistake. All kidding aside, it's a nice thought to try to pin down where the insult originated and what (if anything) it might be based on, but assuming that there is a point of origin AT ALL and thus a logical flow of thought behind the insult is giving the sub-human pond scum on Live far more credit than they deserve. (Aside: Some might think I'm being harsh, but I've heard people on Live before, and plenty of them are beneath the contempt of decent human beings. Which is why I never game on Live. Even worse, their behavior makes the general public associate their bafflingly anti-social behavior with "gamers" in general, so EVERYONE in the community comes out looking worse because of them. So yeah, I think every gamer has a completely legit axe to grind with those folks.) But yeah, being called autistic is just another thing that sounds like a daring edgy insult to microscopically brained 12 year old beta male wannabe tough guys. Attempting to gain insight into their thought process is a waste of time, because they probably haven't had anything resembling a thought for a good long while.

    Doubtful. Maybe at one point the fandom was held in that kind of extremely low esteem, but I'm fairly certain that time has passed. The more people get to know us, the more they come around. I've personally gotten several people to see the brony community in more positive terms than they otherwise would have. Win them over, one by one, and soon the loudest haters will be a teeny tiny minority. Will there always be a select few that throw their lot in with the likes of Howard Stern? Sure. You can find people foolish enough to accept just about anything. But they are a lost cause, and if we know what's good for us, none of our concern. Man... I could write an entire ESSAY on this very subject, but for brevity's sake for now I think I'll just say "You nailed it," and call it a day.

    Okay, I said I'd be back with part 2 of my highlights, and even though it looks like this is now a pretty much dead thread, here I am.

    Oh, man. I'm more of a "locked my keys in my car" kind of guy. I did that three separate times, in the space of about a year, in uniquely stupid ways each time. But I did get locked out of my house once, and... buckle up folks, this one's a doozy. So about six years ago, it was homecoming Saturday at UW-Eau Claire (where I was a freshman), and I went to the football game that afternoon. Eau Claire won an incredibly exciting game on a last-minute field goal, and all seemed well. The game ended at about 3pm. The plan was for me to head home, while my sister (who played in the band) was going to be clothes-shopping with friends and said she'd be home at about 6. So there's the setup. On the way home, my car kills. Found out it was a fuel line leading to the pump that gave out. And so started the avalanche. An old middle school teacher of mine just so happened to drive by a few minutes later and offered me a ride. He took me to the service center I always call in these situations. Told them where the car was, gave them my keys, and then the teacher was driving me back to my house. At which point, I realized... I didn't take my house key off my key ring when I gave my car keys to the person who was gonna tow/fix my car. So I couldn't get back in my house until my sister got home. So I had the guy drop me off at the neighbor's house. I explained the situation to them and told them I'd go back to my house at 6-ish when my sister arrived. So they let me stay there, even though they were going to leave for a dinner event. It was roughly 4:30 when I got there, and I'd just watch some football until 6 and everything would be fine. Well, about three and a half hours later... The neighbors came back and I WAS STILL THERE. My sister was running HOURS late. So, after being nice enough to make me a couple of sandwiches, they decided to help me break back into my house. So they took a flashlight and a screwdriver and opened one of the small windows that could be used to access the basement. I distinctly remember standing next to the window, one guy prying a window open, his son holding a flashlight for him, and me standing by watching, and thinking "I REALLY hope no one drives by right now and sees this." But all turned out well in the end, I guess,

    This exchange takes the "funny but terrible" title for me. Rainbow Dash: "Whoa, girl, take it easy!" Fluttershy: "What? Did we do it?" Rainbow Dash: "Yeah, we did it!" Actually, you know what? I'm just gonna post all three of these here while I'm at it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IlRMH28SQK8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oKXSYGm6JOQ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pxM9vnfQVuA

    Okay, so, Sugarcube Corner is the place for "pony talk" unrelated to the show, including "meetups", so... I guess this goes here. Anyway, I took over 6 hours of video footage at Bronycon a couple weeks ago and have spent most of my time not at work editing this down into two 15 minute highlight reels. I just finished and uploaded part 1. Here it is. I'll put part 2 up here when it's uploaded (will probably just add it to this comment). I put a lot of hours into this, so I really hope you guys enjoy it.

    Wow, I'm surprised to see so many Nickelback supporters in here. I thought I'd be alone. I'm also a fan of the 80s hair bands, so I could put about half of the bands on my CD shelf in here. Poison, Warrant, Ratt, Skid Row, Winger, Bon Jovi, Whitesnake... they were all slammed as being more about image than music, but that never held water for me because I heard all of them before I saw any of them. I love the music, and I truly don't get the hate. Even in the bad spots, it's mostly harmless. I've also never understood why those bands get criticized so much while a band like, say, Guns N Roses doesn't. They came along at the same time, the style of music is very similar in many ways ("Appetite for Destruction" has a slightly rougher/harder edge to it, but the appeal and format is clearly similar), and most of those bands had vocalists that were far superior to Axl Rose. DISCLAIMER: Don't get me wrong, I love me some GNR. Three of their albums are on my shelf, they're in my top 15 favorite bands, and Paradise City is my #2 favorite song ever. But, Sweet Child O Mine aside, Axl Rose is just not a very good singer.

    This is another way that video games are becoming more like movies lately. The costs involved with making Triple A titles are getting absurd, to the point where several games that have sold millions of units in this sluggish economy have been deemed financial disappointments, even though selling millions of units this late in the console generation with all of the audience interest in the new consoles coming this winter is kind of miraculous. The same thing is happening in Hollywood. Movie budgets are spiraling out of control, with studios spending ridiculous sums on franchise fare that is deemed to be the safe method for getting more ticket sales. Quite a few of those movies are getting clobbered at the box office.

    You have done an excellent job enunciating my thoughts upon reading the topic. Well, actually, my thoughts were more along the lines of "Huhminuhwut now?", but you get the idea. The situation outlined leans heavily toward remaining human as the wise course of action, as reflected in the responses. We have opposable thumbs. That's a clincher. But yeah... somehow, I'm still confused. XD EDIT: Okay, just saw OP's latest post and that helped a bit. lol

      I'll try to remember, but I'll be putting it in my status here for sure after I upload it. Might make a topic for it too. It'll be a few days yet, at least, because I work the next four nights and I still have at least three hours of footage to sort through, chop, and edit. When I'm done I hope to have ~30 minutes, spread across two parts.

    Agreed on the VAs, not getting ANY of the Mane Six? I can't help but view that as a missed opportunity. It's the biggest MLP con around, they really ought to be around. I'd also do everything in my power to get Lauren Faust and John de Lancie again, if that was at all feasible.
  22. Bhending the Rules
    OH MY GOODNESS THAT IS SO UNSPEAKABLY FREAKIN AWESOME.
  23. Bhending the Rules
    *opens thread* *reads through all 17 pages* Aw, what the hell, it ain't like I was gonna do anything constructive with that brain space. XD
  24. Bhending the Rules
    Seconded. This is best idea. Get on this, con organizers. XD I really don't have any serious ideas to improve the con, though. It was an incredible experience, and I'd say it's darn near perfect as it is.
  25. Bhending the Rules
    Nope, I don't believe it because of what I've observed with my own eyes and ears. Every brony I've actually spoken to (outside of online) doesn't think much of Sombra, especially compared to Discord and NM. This will change next month after I go to Bronycon, no doubt, but the point stands. Until something reliable contradicts what I've observed, or until what I observe changes, I'll believe what I have seen.
