    But then there'd be more people who could buy their games.

    I guess, but some things need to be different in a world where things are the same. There are so many PC games and not enough console ones. They're making a stand, making a change. I also just don't think they'd do so well in that business. I mean, they can only go so far with a PC, but every year they make a new kind of console opens a new world of possibility.

    How did you choose your OC's color scheme?

    For my OC Star Ruby, I liked the way Rarity's coat looked. So I made my OC have a white coat too. I wanted my OC to have a tough girl kind of a hair style so I made it jagged like Rainbow Dash's. And the cutie mark was based off what I love to do (because she's kind of me as a pony) which was video games. Then everything else was kind of just me getting creative.

    What do you think about Finland?

    in General Discussion

    Well it's sometimes cold here at winter. It can be something between -20°C - -35°C at coldest periods. 

     

    Here most popular chocolate is Fazers chocolate http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fazer . I think they make pretty good chocolate.

    Well we speak here mostly Finnish here, but we have 2 official languages and the second one is Swedish. We are forced to learn it at school, but no one ever uses it so I don't see the real reason why it has to be official language. 

    So is Swedish a hard language to learn would say?

    What do you think about Finland?

    in General Discussion

    From what I've heard, Finland is a very nice place. It'll probably be freezing winter because it's so high up (right?) but it sounds like a nice place. I don't really know if it's a popular tourist kind of a place, but if I had one reason to go, I'd be because of the snow. I used Nokia for a while and I played angry birds once or twice (but who hasn't?) and I suppose it is a cool place.

     

    My question for you. Is there really great chocolate there? Finland seems like a place that should have chocolate. Also what languages do you guys speak?

    Your OC's Way Of Living

    in Sugarcube Corner

    Ponyville. Small house. Video games. Yep.


    Silverhoof is traveling Equestria. He funds his travels by selling two spells.

    The New You:

    This spell can change the color of anything, reverting back to its true colors 24 hours later. If cast on a pony, it will reinvigorate the skin, cleanse the coat and mane, and refresh the recipient. It can make any color, even luminous colors. Silverhoof can make colored lights bright enough to read by. It has a range of 300 feet, and can cover a 40 foot radius area in a single spell. Duration: 24 hours.

     

    The New You is the first spell young Silverhoof learned. His family is based in Canterlot and has a shop catering to vain socialites there, In Canterlot it makes decent money...out in then real world, not so much. Still he's sold a few glow in the dark signs for various merchants. The New You is a family secret and Silverhoof will not teach it to anyone.


    Cleansing Gaze
    This is a spell all unicorn cadets learned 800 years ago (today, the cadets use elbow grease). It can clean everything in a 10’ cubic area, and can be used to sweep whole rooms. It removes all filth, stains, liquids, and leaves a sparkling luster. Against the living, it cleans as well, even removing offensive smells. Manes and tails are brushed and groomed until they shine. Hooves are polished. Even teeth are white and clean.
    --insects and the like vaporize into little puffs of smoke. All manner of vermin are forced out of the area and unable to return for 12 hours.

    The royal guard considers this spell too soft and doesn’t teach Cleansing Gaze anymore.

     

    Interestingly Silverhoof earns much more money as a magical janitor. He can clean a tavern in just a few minutes. Silverhoof found this spell in an ancient textbook for young recruits. He thinks he maybe the only one who knows such a spell, He will sell Cleansing Gaze to anypony who wants to learn. But he has also taught young unicorns the spell for free. It depends on one's ability to pay.

     

    Silverhoof is an adventurer wannabe. He spends a lot of time researching rumors and exploring old ruins. He is always eager to team up with others and explore really dangerous places, After several forays into the Everfree forest, Silverhood is convinced there is a major ruin inside, and in the ruin is an artifact that emanates the magic chaos that defines the forest. As a result, he has been hanging around Ponyville a lot...and the shops there are especially clean.

    My OC could really use some of that. ;)

    Most Beautiful Sight You Have Seen

    in General Discussion

    Yosemite national park. Gorgeous.

    I cannot say a specific sight I suppose, but here are a couple of random ones that I absolutely love;

    Snowy weather. When it is snowing a lot and the ground is covered completely and it is very cloudy. As well as making everything feel tranquil, it is lovely to look at.

    Second, this is an odd one, rain falling through light. Say for example, a street light at night when it is raining. I love the sight of that.

    Yeah, kinda weird I guess, but it is a simple pleasure of mine. :) I have not seen too many beautiful locations in person, only online so I did not include those.

    Favorite Pokémon game?

    Should Scooby Doo End?

    in Media Discussion

    Scooby Doo and the WWE, the New Scooby Doo Mysteries, Scooby Pup Time Special... when will it end?

     

    Well gang, it looks like we've got a mystery on our hands. :V GHOSTS Should the endless re-imaginings of Scoobert "Scooby" Doo and Mystery Inc. stop. The bad jokes, the not-so-scary monsters and now: the stupid pop culture references (and integration) in an effort to retain some relevance.

     

    Let's take a look:

     

    Scooby Doo, Where Are You?, the original run of Scooby Doo, premiered in September 1969. The formula was simple: Mystery Inc shows up, Ahhh! Real Monsters, run around, Shaggy is a stoner, solve the mystery. It was so popular, that it lasted from 1969... to 1970 :o (in all honesty, it was popular).

     

    So what happened after this pivotal piece of cinema? The same thing as Jeff the Killer — Spinoff Time! (And like every JtK spinoff... /)_- )

     

    The New Scooby Doo Movies featured the Three Stooges, the Harlem Globe Trotters, Batman (and the other one, I guess) and others. It was pretty watchable IMO, because in addition to the original format: show up, Goosebumps, run around, the munchies, solve the mystery — we also got different characters to break up the monotonous crap.

     

    Then The Scooby Doo Show ... never watched it, though I'm sure I'm not missing much.

     

    And then we get everybody's favorite mutant puppy — "Scrappy Dappy Doo!" :eww: in an attempt to boost ratings.

     

    Soon after Scrappy is introduced, we get to a new show lineup, revolving around Shaggy, Scooby and Scrappy. It is also in this new lineup that things take a twist: the monsters are real! :o

     

    My opinions on Scrappy aside, I liked: Scooby Doo and the Ghoul School as well as Reluctant Werewolf and the last one I can't remember, where Shaggy's relative leaves a property to him, and it's haunted by General Beauregard (who actually is some doof in a mask — at least the one doing the actual haunting).

     

    *reads Wikipedia* Gah, there's so much of this crap, I'm just ending it around here.

     

    I enjoyed the live action movies and the last animated thing I really liked was Scooby Doo and the Cyber Chase.

    __________________________________________

     

    So what does everyone think: Has Scooby Doo gone on long enough, or do you want moar?

    They kept going with it. There was a show a year back called Scooby Doo mystery incorporated. I loved it. I want Scooby doo to keep going as long as it's good and not like scrappy doo.
