  2. As far as I know, discovery family is only in the US. Most of the international distribution is handed via an agreement between Hasbro and Time-Warner, which means it airs on Boomerang or whatever other Warner cartoon channel they have outside of the United states. This change to boomerang from discovery family, if it happens,is purely a US thing. (As far as I know,it is ) If it does air on any discovery channels outside the US, then it's news to me. Anyone not in the US see it on a discovery based channel? It wouldn't bother me anyways cause my package has both. (I just hope AT&T doesn't buy out directtv and start fucking up my channels.)
  3. Exactly, in fact most characters are drawn to specific formulae based on those observations, characters are drawn in a way to get a reaction, whether it's to go d'aww (cute) to laugh with (screwball) to boo and or cringe (sinister villain) or to be down right afraid (huge monster) Disney was the master of cute, Bambi is one of the best examples of the "cute" in action, while the "screwball" is best used by Warner bros, especially with Bugs Bunny, and (early) Daffy duck. A lanky build, small eyes (but not too small!), a dopey grin (big teeth optional) Many others are based on formulas. I'll post a link if I find where I got the formulas
  4. I agree, I like all of the mane 6. Also. what's With all the Celestia hate, I love her (not like I love twilight, but that's another matter). Don't get me wrong, I like Luna, but the Luna love thing can be a little much. The whole" molestia" thing is grating. And the tyrant Celestia thing. Now, I'm not against the idea of Celestia being a villain in a story, provided its well written and AU (or Any ponyfor that matter,even twilight), but it bothers me that people apply this to the Canon character.
  5. I agree, the voice acting for anime in the original Japanese sounds off, I know people joke about speed racers hilariously bad dubbing (English), but the Japanese version is far worse. Not to mention the voices seem totally inappropriate for the character. For example, Goku in DBZ sounds like a little boy in the Japanese. not to mention it's like everyone did helium and cocaine at the same time. Personally, I like Halo, but Mass Effect blows Halo out of the water. Mass Effect is f#'ng awesome!
  6. My eyes jumped out of my head at first! I'm looking for an Odyssey. (And a Fairchild Channel F)
  7. The Atari and pong may be the oldest systems I have and play, but Its not the first system I owned. My first was an snes I got in 2002, when I was ten, got it from my cousin. The Atari came a year later from a family friend. And I still play Tue she's too.
  8. I don't think it would fall under bestiality cause they are sapient. If I had a girl and she turned into a pony, I would still be with her, in fact, I would like that. A relationship with an MLP pony would be exotic, and I never had any hang-ups about dating a sapient creature of another species provided I liked them.
  9. (Thought to self) resist urge to kiss her. Honestly, I dunno what I'd do, but to see her there would be the greatest thing in the world
  10. Occasionally' I like to pull out my pong and play,but the oldest one I regularly play is my Atari 2600
  11. probably not, but only cause i probably wouldn't have any idea that the show existed. the fandom got me into the show. my first exposure to the show was fan art on a furry board and the complaints by a few furries about all the pony art, and the other furries and bronies defending the show. that's what made me aware of the show and made me curious enough to watch it. now if something else happened that made me curious enough to watch, then. yes, i would keep watching. probably not, but only cause i probably wouldn't have any idea that the show existed. the fandom got me into the show. my first exposure to the show was fan art on a furry board and the complaints by a few furries about all the pony art, and the other furries and bronies defending the show. that's what made me aware of the show and made me curious enough to watch it. now if something else happened that made me curious enough to watch, then. yes, i would keep watching.
  12. that's the way i look at the bible, i also look for historic events that may relate to the biblical stories, as well as anything that may be the basis for some of the mythology and symbolism that is used in the bible. some biblical scholars believe that hell and the devil as described by the bible may actually refer to ancient Rome, and satan may actually be emperor Nero. kinda makes sense considering the Romans known persecution of the early Christians. As for some of mine, being a history buff, especially 20 th century, WWI and WWII are especially fascinating from that standpoint. i have read about both the war strategy and the overall structure of the various governments involved especially the Nazis, the USSR, and Imperial Japan. USSR history as a whole is also fascinating. also, i like to study mental disorders.
  13. agreed, that is always how Ive seen the "objective view" of a perfect world. this is the concept of a utopia. in fact, the book that originated the concept is a deconstruction of the idea, and is dismissed as an impossibility. the name "utopia" roughly translates to "no place" that being said, I would choose not-perfect equestria, not only cause we have freedom, but also because its realistic. my vision of equestria is somwhere beetween the shows equestria and earth. (not that canon equestria is perfect, it isn't) a mix of the good and bad from each. (and a few dietals changed for realism.) examples: * wars do still happen from time to time, there are many nations, cultures, and heritages. most threats are more in the form of radicals and tyrannical leaders than super powerful threats like discord or chrysalis, although that does happen from time to time, usually a few events every 500 years * weather is more like earths (it used to be partially controlled by Pegasi though, to undo discords damage and to rebalance the system discord wrecked. now they no longer need to) even so, many pegasi still work in weather due to their excellent weather prediction abilities. * most places in equestria don't use punny names, although some do. ex: ponyville is still ponyville, fillydelphia is the same, but there are also cites like Soche and Isling. (the capital of Handon, the province where ponyville is located) many of the "punny" ones were usually done on purpose and have an interesting story behind them. * the way a pony is named can vary cause of heritage and or country of birth. not all ponies use the "equestrian system" in naming themselves. Trixie, for example, comes from a country where ponies use human like names (her family comes from the nation of Alcatel). *they have modern tech and drive in cars and fly in planes. (yes, pegasi can still fly, but planes can out speed them, and some can out manouver them. ) * forehooves have magic around them that functions as hands for ponies of all races, can stand fully upright of nescessary, and many can walk on two hooves. unicorns can still use magic much like they do in the show. (ponies have an organ in their bodies to manipulate the energy around them.) ponies who lose this ability are considered disabled. * the planet is called Eqquis and these are just a few things form my "headcanon equestria" i could put more, that is for another thread. (and would take pages to describe!) its not perfect, but its what i would love to see if i went there.
  14. heh heh, yeah, i didn't really base my headcanon on the actual canon. its kinda more of an au when you think about it. i added a list of ages based on what i think they are in canon in my original post.
  15. Twilight Sparkle, for many reasons: * Im an Introvert. * I don't completely avoid parties or anything like that (and neither does she), but most of the time, I prefer being at home reading, playing video games, drawing (mostly of cars), or tinkering with something. I can talk to others, but after awhile, I feel tired and just want to do something by myself. *I'm a Nerd * I like to read and learn new things. I was the one who had his hand up all the time in class asking questions about the subject. (much to my fellow students and a couple teacher's annoyance) * I like to read * maybe not to the extent twilight does (but I was when I was younger!) but I do like to read, whether its books, magazines related to my intrests, (ex. Pop sci, Mopar Collectors guide), or online content. * i like to share what I know* *I tend to use large words* Its just natural to me, its usually hard not to. * modesty* Im not usually one to brag or boast, in fact, if you're one to constantly brag about yourself, you will just end up annoying me, and maybe even piss me off. (people who act like they are better than me piss me off to no end) * somewhat awkward* its hard for me to carry on a conservation. I'm not the best at picking up "body language" or other nonverbal cues, and may miss something. I have also at times, been rather blunt about something, or accidentally insulted someone. (I didn't find out i did till later) * public speaking is easy for me* I may get nervous and have a hard time speaking to one other person or a small group conversation, but doing a speech in front of a large group? its nothing to me, if i have all my notes prepared, that is. A presentation in front of a large group of people is rather easy, and sometimes, I can even kinda put a bit of a "floursh" sometimes when i do a presentation. (gotta try to keep you're audiences interest afterall! ) and well, you get the idea.
  16. Id live in Equestria, but Id love to visit the Mass Effect universe. (without the reapers obviously) Equestria, because its peaceful, appears friendly (mostly) and especially because of Twilight sparkle. as for the Mass effect universe, a world of advanced technology and so many different cultures and histories! I have always wanted to visit the future! and the mass effect universe has one of the most awesome future scenarios I have ever seen! (besides the reaper attacks)
  17. Twily without a doubt! why Twilight Sparkle? I just love everything about her. she's Intelligent, Modest, sweet, and beautiful beyond words. Everything I want in a woman is in that absolutely, incredibly beautiful and adorable purple pony. (the very definition of Adorkable, I might add!) I also have so much in common with her. her desire to learn, her curiousness of the world around her and her love for reading are all things that I either currently share, or parts that remind me of my younger self that i want to get back into. 2. Honeymoon? Hmm, mostly where Twily wants to go. Its more about being with her than anything to me, but Id love to see places with lots of historical interest, both on earth and on her world. 3. Foals? maybe.
  18. welp, one of my biggest obsessions are with cars, especially classic cars, and most especially classic Mopars (Chrysler corp. cars). I can draw cars as well, and tend to draw cars based on my own designs. I'm also a big gamer, of the modern consoles, Xbox 360 is my fave. (nothing against the ps3 though, i just like the controller layout better on the 360), and i love shooters, especially the mass Effect and Halo Series. Also the grand theft auto series. I'm majorly into classic gaming as well, and i have a collection of classic systems, computers, and games. My favorite old time system is the Atari 2600. My favorite all-time pc game is the Starcraft series. Rock music, especially classic rock. I almost always keep my radio on K-She95 (the local rock station here in st louis). 20th century history, especially the tech aspect. also, cartoons. I still enjoy the cartoons i loved as a kid, and even some newer ones (and not just the obvious one! ) and a somwhat on-again-off again obsession with the Soviet union. (i don't agree with their ideology, I just like to learn about their history and technology. ) oh, and abandoned places. there's something eerily cool about those places, as well as how they were before they were abandoned, and how they became abandoned. yeah, I'm a big history nut! so well, there you have it! oh, yeah, i almost forgot, the internet. I tend to be online a lot.
  19. hmm... *when i was little, i would sneak ice cream in the morning. * in tenth grade, I got pissed off at a teacher and called him a faggot. *when i was 16, i took my dads porn magazine collection and hid them for myself. i also would look up porn on my moms computer when she was gone and transfer them to mine. (my computer at the time was a 98, and it had no internet, but moms xp did.) * in some of my high school classes, if there were computers, I would just go online and look up stuff while the teacher was talking. I still ended up with B's and C's in those classes. * I had a speech/language teacher in high School, she was six years older than me. I had a crush on her sophmore year and ended up accidentally revealing it to her. * the closest I have had to an actual girlfriend was my best friend. she was so nice to me and i could tell her anything. we were real close. i almost kissed her my senior year at homecoming, but chickened out. she ended up getting a boyfriend later. I never told her that I loved her. *I've broken tools at work and didn't say a word about them. *a few times working at my dads store, if i had to ask about a price on something, i took what he was asking, add a few dollars to that and tell the customer it was more. (i felt dad was too cheap on the item) *i called one customer a bitch when she said something rude to me. *i lied to my dad once about some stuff a customer gave to us. I told him i paid a couple of dollars for it so i would get the money from selling the stuff. (if i buy something a customer sells to us out-of-pocket, i get all the profits from its sale.)
  20. today were gonna learn the pirate alphabet... *takes a swig* *spits it out* *disgusted face* T!
  21. just a t-shirt (w/ a pic of a 1970 dodge Challenger next to an old time diner on it) blue jeans , worn Brown carolina work boots, and a black baseball cap with the Dodge Ram logo on it
  22. obviously, physical appearance isn't the most important thing in the world, but as far as that goes..... I like dark hair (dark Brown or black) redheads are nice as well. Brown or green eyes, brown eyes especially on a brown haired girl. Glasses are a plus. on the slim side, but not rail thin. i do like tall women (I'm 6') Personality wise, I'm into nerdy girls, Intellectual type especially, I find intelligence highly Attractive in a woman, so obviously her being smarter than me wouldn't bother me in the slightest, so long as she wasn't so much smarter than me that I'm lost when she speaks to me. id love to be able to discuss with her about philosophy, history, technology, astronomy, & psychology with her. (obviously, not all of those topics are necessary) A gamer girl would be nice, doubly so of she likes the classics as well. a fan of rock music. I'm big into rock, and id love it if she likes it too. being down to earth, i don't want someone who thinks they are better than everyone else. also, (obviously) liking mlp would be nice.
  23. normally, blue jeans, a t-shirt, brown boots and my Dodge Ram baseball cap
