  1. I think a huge amount of Bronies are gamers. In my book though you are not a gamer if you only play video games, you have to at least play table-top games as well. Same if the only game you play is Magic. A gamer plays a variety of games, that may or may not include video games or Magic. I am a huge gamer and I have been gaming for most of my life. My top 5 games are Heroscape, Middle-Earth Quest, Descent 2nd ed, Runewars, and Battletech. As far as video games go I love Heroes of might and magic 3 and similar games and a lot of CRPG's.
  2. Hi, I wanted to bring this post back because I hadn't been on this site much in a long time. I'm not using any of the other two forums I had joined when I was new and was debating about coming back here. What really made it happen though was joining the brony Folding@home team and seeing the subteams there. I saw that MLP forums had a sub team so decided to join it and become active here again. I didn't know if I should introduce myself again with a brand new post or just add on to this old one. When looking at my old posts it was hard to believe it had been almost a full year since I had joined this one. That means it has been more than a year since I started watching ponies! You know what else? I haven't missed a single day since day 1. Usually I'm watching things on EQD, posting on bronysquare, or watching videos on Synchtube. Hopefully now I will be more active in this forum though. Also I've been running the meetups I mentioned before for awhile now. I've only had 2 unsuccessful meetups. They are on the 2nd Friday of each month. Next one is on January 11th.
  3. Some people are pretty close but not quite right. If you use our calender it is mixed up of a solar and lunar calender. Ignore the solar calender for this post and we will only refer to the lunar calender. A lunar week is the same as a normal week, 7 nights = 1 lunar phase, 28 nights = a full cycle. Therefore a lunar month is 28 days. There are 13 lunar months in a year so that = 364 nights per year. Only one number off from our current cycle when it isn't a leap year. The entire calender used to be based on the Lunar cycle but over time the seasons would be completely out of whack. Winter coming earlier each year was very literal in those times, it would come precisely 1 day earlier each year. The current mix of Solar and lunar calender was created to solve that problem keeping the 7 day week. Not sure on this but theory has it that the calender was changed to 12 months instead of 13 over superstition that 13 was bad and 12 was good. To answer the previous question, when you do the math, an apple family reuinion would happen every 7 years 9 months on the lunar calender. I'm guessing though that it would really be every 8 years since they would want it the same season each year. That seems about right for family reunions in my book. Then again it is a cartoon in a different world so all of what I said was completely irrelevant.
  4. I don't view Christmas as a Christian holiday. If it were I wouldn't celebrate it either. I view it as the holiday season. I still don't typicly say Happy Holidays though. I still say Merry Christmas out of habit The thing is pretty much every Christian tradition has it's roots in pagan or secular traditions. They are things anyone can do and enjoy regardless of what religious beliefs they have. The only thing I have a problem with is when people say "Jesus is the reason for the season:" or other similar things. Or when people get pissy because someone says Happy Holidays instead of Merry Christmas. Christians that want to look at this as a celebration of the birth of their "savior" may well do so, but keep in mind that not everyone, in fact most people do not. The facts alone make it a very much non-Christian holiday. Those that claim it is all about Jesus are just ignorant.
  5. I'll come up with 5 1. I think convicted felons should be let off very easy on the very first felony no matter what it is, like a maximum of 1 month in jail. This is because I think that no matter what there is always a chance that the person was in fact not guilty. On the other hand if a 2nd felony conviction occurs I believe that it is right to torture the culprit to death. 2. I think that sterilization for both men and women should be a completely free operation and 100% taxpayer funded, and be required in order to receive Welfare, food stamps, or free health care. It saves the Taxpayers more in the long run. 3. I feel that any organization that discriminates should not be able to receive tax-exempt status. I bet you probably agree. So does pretty much everyone until I point out that this includes almost every church that exists. 4. I am against straight marriage... I believe that marriage should not be recognized on a legal level and only on a spiritual level. There should be no tax or other benefits for it. 5. Marijuana should be legal.
  6. Hello, I recently joined your team. I already had an MLP forums account that I think I've only used once to enter a contest or something. I could kinda use a new forum to be a part of anyway so hopefully maybe you will start to see me active around here. It won't be this week though. I'm going to be a bit busier this week with year end inventories at my store.
  7. I've played that game a bit, it's ok. I see ads since ads help the site. I cannot help financially because I have no personal income and am over $5k in debt with 4k of that being mortgage payments that will only stop if I end up homeless.
  8. I think I like the term hoof bump better myself. If it was actually used in the episode, I think I'm going to start calling it that now myself. Of course both terms are equally fine.
  9. I saw it the 2nd time through. A small hint someone gave me did something to bring my attention to the snow globe. I think someone said to pay attention to it or something. I noticed the bigger thing floating in it and replayed it and sure enough..
  10. If things continue like they are, i think they will. I mean they are putting shoutouts in the shows now to us. Plushies would sell both to adults and kids so I think it can and will happen. I don't agree with everything that Hasbro does (like discountinuing Heroscape), but they do tend to make more smart business choices than dumb ones.
  11. I'm schedualling the 2nd Sunday at 2:00 pm of each month as Brony meetup times at Cyborgs Puzzles and Games. Activities may include, and are not limited to: Watching episodes Listining to Dubstep Reading Fanfics Eating cupcakes Drinking Cider D'awwwing Playing Games Singing Showing Brony pride
  12. Welcome to this forum, have a cider /)[][]( Sweetie Belle is also my favorite CMC. She acts so differently when she isn't around the others. I also would like to hear her sing more. Then again if she sang more she'd have her cutie mark.
  13. It's just a really good show. You have to watch it to understand. Even then it doesn't really make much sense. They are about as much horses as Goofy is a dog.
  14. Welcome to the herd. I'm glad to hear Chuck Norris is a brony. I saw pictures of him crying after reading My Little Dashie. A lot of people have had to eat their words after actually watching the show, much llke you.
  15. Welcome, it sounds pretty similar to how others have found the show.
  16. ahah, wondered what went wierd. I don't really notice what section these are in. I just look at the new posts. Guess I stand corrected. It was spam. I'll still be friends though as long as you don't spam again.
  17. Just remember that a huge number of the people on here (perhaps myself included) never used to be the loving and kind people they are now. I like to think that I was but I know that I am moreso now because of ponies. it certainly is true that we are changing the world.
  18. I'll be your friend as long as you don't post a bunch of gore or perverted stuff.
  19. I've never seen this before and would have liked to have gone the rest of my life without seeing it. Hasbro has MLP, Nik has Fred. Hasbro wins.
  20. Fluttershy is my other favorite pony. I looked through these posts and haven't seen this video yet, so I thought I would leave it right here were those that will appreciate it most can easily find it.
  21. The first episode I saw was Party of One. Some friends of mine on Kongregate picked that one to show me how awesome the show is. The thing is I think they could have picked a better episode. I decided to watch starting with episode 1 myself and I liked it much better. I probably would have been a brony 2 months sooner had I just watched the first episode.
  22. Gonna have to call rule 244 on this one. Everything Fluttershy does is cute and it is impossible to determine a favorite. Here you go for all you fellow Fluttershy fans http://youtu.be/Ez017hgf-so http://youtu.be/DJ8NewxD0oI
