  1. Here: One of my favorite parkour videos. A sick pen beat battle.
  2. Hey, thanks! I know I'm probably a long ways off from that, but at this point, I'm just hoping to get off the ground!
  3. I really want to tap into the music part of this fandom. Have my name become a brony association. (Living Tombstone, WoodenToaster/Glaze, Archie, AcousticBrony, MandoPony, Jackle App, Bronyfied, Aviators, Rainbowcrash88 etc.) However, I just started and it's difficult coming up with ideas. I always try and make something for a couple hours, next day, I think it's bad and completely scrap it. It's not that bad. Since when I started, I couldn't even find an idea of how to write a song. I don't know, but I've only been doing this for about 11 months (almost a year!) and I'm hoping I'll get somewhere soon.
  4. This guy right here: https://www.youtube.com/user/ThePrimeCronus His video list is full of some of the most epic music you will ever hear! Like so (3 samples) Soundcritters - Heroic Opportunities: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQ0MznSuE7w Gothic Storm - Legends of the Apocalypse: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ym0lwPIW30 Ethos Music - Ornithological Symphony: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0muq2jIHsM He then also has one hour mixes on his channel with an insane 8 and 10 hour mix. If you love orchestral music/video game soundtracks, give this guy a chance!
  5. Spike's been the laughing stock of the script for too long! Was Power Ponies not supposed to show that he wasn't a pushover?
  6. Yes... It is. Which is why I love it. I think Blood on the Dance Floor is an O.K. band sometimes... I really don't like some of their music, but they have decent songs out there.
  7. How about a nice, soothing landscape. Capturing the regal elegance of Canterlot's finest underneath moonlight... ==ATTACHED FILE== http://i.imgur.com/2rJkdvl.jpg Still no... Hmm... Here's an image of Twilight's library. Go on, give it a chance!
  8. http://ajvl.deviantart.com/art/Philomena-Equestria-s-Finest-Phoenix-310217164 It's Philomena... Funny story actually, my friend (who isn't even a brony) had this as a wallpaper and I asked him, "I thought you didn't watch MLP?" With him responding "I don't..." Turns out he just found it on Google images and set it as a wallpaper! XD
  9. I hate the whole, "_____" is best/worst pony... Has made me irritably consider Fluttershy to be overrated [same with Luna]. I also hate references to Applejack being background. She doesn't have many episodes because there aren't any plots to develop around any of her characteristics. Lastly, whenever I see comments saying, "I cried reading/watching/listening to/eating/insertactionhere this." Makes me want to smack someone.
  10. This right here. Pretty much the entire reason why it happens. Personally, I think this is the best episode in the season so far. The others just came too far out of left field for me to really kind of "get"... The only other one was Daring Don't, but that might be more because we actually saw Daring Do. Back onto the topic, this is the only episode I really felt was down to earth and more of a "slice-of-life" story.
  11. Well, I've seen School of Rock for the third time in my life... I enjoy that movie. Always going to love it.
  12. Eh. I came from 4chan... So I've seen weirder crap. People! Get your jimmies unrustled! I mean honestly, if you're disgusted by porn, then I don't think the internet is the best place for you to be my friend.
  13. -------------------- No, but really. I'm just going to post what I'm going to say, and then probably leave this topic. I'm not going to discuss about the press conferences, or interviews, or showings at E3 and other conventions. No, as a Wii and Wii U owner. I'm going to instead discuss my personal experiences with these consoles. Back in 2006, when I was a wee schoolboy, I saw every Wii commercial, overview, and praise for it's innovative controls and change in the gaming industry. Now, keep in mind, the console had been promised to really change gaming. Now, instead of sitting on your own couch, you actually interacted with these games. Your movements where further twisted into your gaming experience! This was all fine, and I think everyone was really awaiting this console. Does anyone remember how it was really hard to get a Wii? I don't know about anyone else, but every time I went to the store, I would always look at the game isle, and see, that every single one was gone. Seriously. I believe even the one that was for display purposes was even sold. I didn't get one until Christmas of 2007! But when I did, I thought this would be the console I would spend time on for years to come. I could talk about how the Gamecube and N64 had been a huge part of my life... How Nintendo in itself was my childhood entertainment besides television. But no, this is focused on the Wii and Wii U. This turned out to be false. The Wii only lasted me until around March of 2008. Which was around the time when I was getting really tired of playing the crap out of Super Smash Bros. Brawl. I was bored. Entering an early phase of "growing up", I was not enjoying having to play another Super Mario re-make... Or play Mario Kart with my brother for the millionth time. Only really, there and then, did I experience this feeling of "no games". Sure, there were probably some games out there. But when I play a game, it's like a movie. Once and then you're done. And it still is the same way today. The only reason I play a game again is either because they have an online multiplayer aspect I like, or I just need to get more achievements due to me being a completionist. Combining this with Nintendo's "holding-your-hand" attitude, I really despised a lot of Nintendo's newer games. Sure, I found it helpful when I was younger, but I really don't need Luigi's help to beat another level of Mario. Nintendo started to disappoint me, and I gradually started to dislike them. That summer, my step-father had bought a PlayStation 3. He meant to buy it for himself, but out of kindness, he decided that he would share it with me and my brother. Now, I played a little bit of the PlayStation 2. Not enough for me to actually recall any games I played, but enough to remember I spent some amount of time on it. The PlayStation 3 definitely caught my interest the day my step-father turned the power on, and I can say, that console has still lasted me. Over the course of the next five years, I heard the compelling stories of Bioshock and God of War. Seen the action of Nathan Drake and Commander Shepard. The creative flow of LittleBigPlanet and the immersive gameplay environments of Mirror's Edge. All these I couldn't help but love. The Wii gradually sat on my shelf... Collecting dust. I've only ever retrieved it when a friend requests we play SSBB for old time's sake. When the Wii U was announced, I did not feel anything anymore. Nintendo really didn't captivate me with the games they where selling. "Assassin's Creed IV?" "That's a bit different for Nintendo!" Yeah. That's great. However, I'm not going to spend my money on a new console when the same games are going to be third-party to other's as well. I spent some time watching them. Seeing how things would play out. In the end, my family ended up getting the Wii U anyway's. Indifferent as to whether anyone would play it or not. And it was just as I expected. So many people flipped when they tried it. No one thought it was as "hardcore" as other consoles. I'm in the background thinking... "What did you expect?". For the last year, the Wii U has only been turned on for a total of four times. Eyup. FOUR. In conclusion, I might actually use the Wii U when the new Smash Bros. comes out... Until then, I don't see a point in playing it...
  14. This one's a bit hard I guess. There are definitely a good number of bronies in my city of South Bend. However, we don't seem to be the loudest. If you saw me, just in the background, you would not have immediately known that I was a follower of MLP. Same with some of my other friends. There are a lot of other characteristics that just kind of dilute the pony element. For example, one of my friends has just as large a passion for other shows as MLP (Such as Doctor Who, Sherlock, Supernatural, and a lot of anime!), while another gives a vibe of a grunge metalhead who isn't a fan of today's music, and enjoys keeping to himself and his guitar. Last one I will mention is actually from the streets. A guy who has trained to defend himself and escape from trouble. All these friends of mine are actually mostly bronies, and are pretty knowledgeable and complete fanatics. However, there are other traits to them that really contrast with ponydom and make them hard to spot out. I guess the same could be said for others in my area, as the only way I could hope to find them would be to talk with them, or to maybe spot some MLP merch in a crowd. That's my town at least...
  15. I had a lot of trouble with this episode, and it completely came way out of left field for me. Now, when the one song was playing in this episode, I didn't really feel for it, and the presentation of the other character's viewpoints was too blunt. For example, RD's only reason to side against Fluttershy was for the cider, which felt a bit OOC, considering that Dash's character has become much more complex and layered to make such a short-sighted conclusion. As I listened, I had this idea in my head that there was an actual discussion among the group, and for some form of scripting/storytelling, it would be easier to overview the conversation through song. Maybe Twilight did discuss the scientific reasons as to why Fluttershy was right, but fell along the lines of AJ's hardships in the end... I may never know, but I thought it would be good to share my views with the episode. In short, I believe the episode may have circulated around peer-pressure more than bullying really. But hey, that's just my theory.
  16. Winter break has really messed up my sleeping habits...
