  1. I have finally finished this. I enjoyed reading, on your pony. I not a big fan of allicorn ocs, but this one is just so adorable :D and I love you outlook on mlp. I hope you like it, i tried out a new style so hopefully it goes well. I'm sorry there is another pony down there o_o my computers being weird

    It's pretty good, the only thing is the muzzle looks awkward angled down like that. Other than that, you did a really good job with it! :P

     

    It works as a surprised expression. :o:D

    OMG Pinny! *hugs* :wub:

    Yikes. I can understand the situation the Steelers are in right now, but losing to a 1-10 team?

    It's the Giants. They defy the laws of consistency. :)

     

    What's worse, it was a second-half comeback by JAX. From 21-0 to 25-24. >_>

  3. I'll have to go the standout and say DiscFam as well.

     

    Most kids' networks these days are suffering from some form of mismanagement. Decisions are no longer made creatively and with foresight. Now they are made based on market research and profit margins. The industry has become so overcommercialized that many channels and creators have pretty much sold their souls, but there is a little bit of life left in it.

     

    DiscFam mainly gets it for MLP, LPS, and Pound Puppies, no surprise here. Those are shows which combine great art, nostalgia, and modern, sharp writing with respect to their audiences and really remind me of exactly what kind of show I like to watch.

     

    They win for the overall quality of their shows, despite poor programming choices on the network leading to the end of the Hub brand and Discovery filling out the remainder of the lineup with reruns.

     

    I'd say CN is doing pretty good as well. I'm not really a big fan of their shows, but I respect their successes and the creative free reign (relatively speaking) that they give their staffers as opposed to their rivals, and they've made some pretty strong acquisitions recently as well.

     

    My second choice after DiscFam would be Disney XD, mainly for Wander Over Yonder and Gravity Falls, however these shows are constantly victim to poor scheduling.

     

    Nickelodeon is definitely bottom of the barrel, for their pandering and complete disregard of quality in pursuit of the almighty dollar, and putting anything that they can't consider the next SpongeBob in the trash heap immediately, not before hopscotching it around the schedule. It's completely broken, and the only reason why they're still alive is their market share and the relative lack of competition in this market as opposed to the hundreds of channels going after the 18-34 demographic.

     

    I'd rate Disney pretty low, too, for the generic, assembly-line nature of their live-action sitcoms and the fact that they always get preference over their cartoons (which have all been banished to XD).

     

    So, here's my listing:

     

    1 Discovery Family

    2 Disney XD

    3 Cartoon Network

    4 Disney Channel

    5 Nickelodeon/Nicktoons

  4. @SEGASister and I used to go to the same middle school, but she's moved a hundred miles away from me now. Her profile here is practically abandoned. Check out her DeviantArt instead. ( http://segasister.deviantart.com/ )

     

    I do know one other brony IRL who has written fanfiction and is active on other sites, but I have not yet had the chance to contact him online, since I pretty much live a double life and am a complete closet brony in real life.

     

    I really wish I could know more members from this site or get some of my real-life brony friends to join. Unfortunately, that's going to be hard considering I'm clandestine about the brony thing IRL.

  5. I've always admired "God Save the Queen", it has a haunting and irresistably beautiful tone, and has been also used by Liechtenstein and the US at one time or another. This is the one that got my vote.

     

     

    Before the Soviet national anthem you all know of, the Soviets of Leninist times used "The Internationale", an originally French song whose message and meaning transcended national borders and stood for revolution the world over in hundreds of languages. It stands as the anthem of leftist political movements in many countries the world over, but the Soviet Union, in the pre-WWII era and throughout the war itself was the only country to use it.

     

     

    Finally, I have to give it up to my home country. "The Star-Spangled Banner" not only has historical significance, but has been noted as being difficult to sing. It is no shortage of solemn, beautiful, and interestingly entertaining at the same time. When struck just right, it can bring a tear to my eye, but when screwed up, it can be very laughable. There is just nothing like it in the world.

     

  6. I mostly draw ponies (of course :P ) and anthros, I've been doing quite a few anthro ponies lately. I also really love to draw certain kinds of shoes.

     

    I'd love to learn to draw cars/machines better. :squee:

     

    This really is my only hobby for now, this and screwing around on the Internet. :derp:

     

    Most of it is on DeviantArt. The link is in the signature. ;)

    I feel bad for you, Fluter.

     

    The only Hanukkah movie I can think of is Eight Crazy Nights and no one I can think of would think of touching that film with a 39.5' pole. :(

    I would say so. Even though the Nostalgia Critic cheats on his second Christmas special list by putting Die Hard at #1, he at least knows that many consider that cheating and he makes the clear distinction between that and a movie like Home Alone (which was on his first list).

     

    Die Hard is not a Christmas movie to me. It's an action movie that uses Christmas as a backdrop, but there's really nothing about the holiday itself in it. In Home Alone, the Christmas season is very integral to the movie's plot and its message. That's what really makes the difference.

    I think anyone who lists those as their favorite Christmas movies is cheating because those are just movies of other genres that happen to be set at Christmastime, but to each his own. :smug:

    Looking for some good Christmas specials on broadcast TV, unfortunately "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer" is going to be the only thing on at 8 :eww: until Frosty comes on at 9. :D

     

    Anyone who follows my blog already knows what I think about "Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer". :angry:

    Pens play Carolina for a home-and-home. How do you think I feel?

    Yeah, no contest there. :P

     

    Would have been more fun had it been closer, but gotta take it any way. :D

    I got to give the Rangers credit, @Wind Chaser, that was a good game.

    Yeah, but the Flyers sucked. They blew every opportunity they had, and they had some good ones.

     

    These two teams gotta face each other again tomorrow, travelling back here to NY, and with no practice. That could be interesting, but unfortunately I don't think I'll be able to watch it.
