Shady Bubbles

I completely agree with this list, with the exception of Loiter Squad. I'm a little biased when it comes to that show though, being an Odd Future fan 

I think Mike GSI would make a much better show on its own

For only $1,350,000 I can finally live my childhood dream of owning my very own Gundam. 

I mean the other ponies are cool and all, but what can they really do?

Pinkie Pie has so many crazy abilities. Super Speed, Pinkie Sense, Fourth-Wall Breaking...

Oh, and this too

Pokey Minch from Earthbound.

That snobby little bastard gets under my skin so much. Earthbound did a good job of making you truly despise the antagonist. The way he taunts you during the final battle is cruel and heartless. He knows you are facing the embodiment of evil in an alternate dimension (and if you follow the whole Giygas-fetus theory, aborting a demon alien baby) and has the balls to mock you for being fearful. He knows the fate of the world is in your hands, and still he does everything in his power to stop you. He knows he can't control Giygas when he turns off the Devil Machine, but does so anyways just to spite you. By the end of the game I loathed Pokey, which makes him a truly good villain.

Pokey Minch, 

Honestly... I just want to cuddle a cute girl... That is the best time I have... However my "perfect" date is whenever she is happy... Whenever I get a smile from a girl I like that means it went great, no matter how I felt during it

Kokurai is winning right now   The rest of you fellas better step your game up!

Alright so my girlfriend and I went out and took some photos....

You look like Katy Perry   Can I be you or...?

Another good one I should bring up that I completely forgot until replaying the game earlier.

Freaking Witney from Pokemon Gold. Especially if you chose Cyndaquil (thankfully I went with Chikorita this time, but I still can't beat her)

Miltank used Rollout...   

If you hack into the game data in the Golden Sun: The Lost Age, you will discover the game contains unused sprites of Link from The Legend of Zelda.

If you go into the trophy room in Super Smash Bros Melee and look at the Princess Daisy trophy, then use the camera to zoom in on the very back of her head, you will discover that her trophy has 3 eyes.

In Pokemon Yellow, you can play a surfing minigame if you trade a Pikachu that knows Surf over from Stadium. For us poor kids, you can get the same effect by using the glitch Pokemon Q to fuse Pikachu and any Pokemon that knows Surf.

When asked about losing the Crash Bandicoot franchise to Sierra and Universal Studios, co-president of Naughty Dog Evan Wells said "It's a little bit like watching your daughter become a porn star"

These are the only ones I know off the top of my head 

Finally got around to watching Pokemon Heroes. It was a fantastic film. 8/10 for me

Skydoesminecraft.

Not really Sky himself (although I do find his voice incredibly annoying) but his fanbase. They're just so....ugh. And "Sky Army"? What is this shit? 

That being said, I LOVE MinecraftUniverse. He's much less obnoxious, and really deserves his views. He seems so out of place with Sky and the rest of their crew. But Sky is the only one I honestly don't like. 

This sounds really cool! Just one question: will the hero be fighting alone or will he have allies?

Gosh, I'm not sure where to start.

There's soooo many of you I wanna meet 

So is this still a thing or...? 

This is the second Solar Roadway thread this week on the forums. It seems as though people are interested in it, and I can't blame them. It's a pretty cool idea. 

Is it really? I didn't think to look   Hopefully the mods take notice and merge them. I'd like to see as many opinions as I can.

Uh yeah they do warn us of hazards, such as hairpin turns, the side of the road, and also are implemented in road signs so that they are highly visible at night. These lit up roadways would in no way generate capital, albeit it wouldent cost to much to operate because they generate their own energy, but then again how are you gonna make this led road strong enough to hold up against traffic, keep it from being too slippery to drive on, and lord only knows the amount of maintenance this project would require.... It's just verrry impractical in this point in juncture.

They wouldn't generate capital? Are you kidding? We would generate enough electricity to power the country 3 times over. You don't think all that juice is going to go to waste do you? We could easily sell it to other countries to get a little extra money (and hopefully pull us out of this debt...)

As for your other concerns, you have to keep in mind that you wouldn't be driving DIRECTLY on the panels. They are coated in a unique glass-like material that has already been tested to meet the impact and traction requirements needed for you to drive on it. You do have a point as far as maintenance goes, but we already shovel out tax dollars to maintain our current roads, so it wouldn't be too much of an issue. We already have the technology to make this a reality. We just need the initiative. 

It could happen if it's implemented incrementally. Keep in mind that, at least in the US, road management is part of municipal government, and a lot of towns and cities could have the funds to install it within their own jurisdiction. If it's as effective as I hope it is, that reduced financial load on energy would eventually let the project pay for itself, and they could even sell excess power to neighboring cities, thereby passing on that reduced financial load on energy and possibly even enabling them to install their own solar roads. And then the sweet cycle continues.

 

It would be very difficult to implement this as a grand national-scale project, but if it starts on a local scale, I think it could definitely happen.

Exactly. It wouldn't be a feasible idea to replace all of our roads at once. It would have to be a gradual change, much like the proposal of electric cars, or the introduction of those curly light bulbs. I'm sure not everyone would be on board, but if it means we reduce our environmental footprint and get to make money doing it, then the neigh-sayers are sure to change their minds.

Hi, fan club - it's only right that I come to you guys for my final post on the forums. Yeah, that's right! I'm leaving the forums today.

 

Thanks for being supporters of the Pinkie Pie cause, everyone! A huge constituent of my time here has been in endless support of Best Pony, and to know that people are following the same cause as me makes you all my friends. Best of luck in the MLPF World Cup, and your spirit will resonate with me as I set sail for other lands!

 

It's been fun

You will be missed greatly Flip. 

In your honor, we will revive this club. We will keep the Pinkie Pie spirit alive. And we will show the world why she is best pony. 

Here, have a montage

I agree. My only difference in opinion is that it does not look cooler, and is likely to mess up our cars. Not to mention that we are already 13 trillion plus dollars in debt with the rest of the world, and will never be able to pay it off. How could anyone expect the government to afford this?

Also as for the cost, I would probably say that the profits for the electricity produced would likely make up for the price of installation!

That pretty much sums it up. Our economy sucks right now. Think of how many jobs could be created for installation and maintenance of these roads. And they can't be nearly as harmful for your vehicle as potholes and damaged concrete. Plus, asphault can't warn you if there's an animal in the road 

It's a VERY cool idea but funding this eh... It would be cool for this to happen but it's all about the money now than down the line to most of the people who are funding this. Like installing these would take a lot of money to set up and place everywhere as well as time. So the more time spent putting these in the more money that goes down the drain for these big companies assisting it. Unless it's some absurdly rich company that has the man and money power to get this going I really don't see this being funded to a full extent. Maybe some areas yes but not the entire US and/or World

 

Don't get me wrong. I would LOVE to see this come through I mean.. really a light up rec center that let's you configure what you wanna play? OH HELL YES!!!....*ahem* As well as reducing accidents by animals and pretty much clear roads year round would be very awesome as well. Would save people the issue of sliding of the road, accidents, gas from trekking through snow, and etc.. I would love to see this implemented but I don't see it happening.

I'm in the same position. It seems like such a good idea to me. Save the environment, save the economy, save animals from becoming roadkill.... But all of those are long term benefits. And our past pretty clearly reflects that we don't think long-term when making big decisions.  

It's like our government is in a JG Wentworth commercial.

There's these magical things called reflectors..... That don't use electricity.... Yeah..

What else don't reflectors do?

Hmmmm....

Generate capital, power our cities, warn us of road hazards...

Hmm... I think this would be very expensive to fix and maintenance, but it would produce quite a bit of electricity.

But would the solar panels be able to withstand all that weight travelling across it all of the time?

They are covered in a special glass material that meets the same impact and traction requirements our current roads do. They also produce more than enough electricity to sustain the rest of our electronics, so I would imagine that they are self-sustaining. 

In other words, as crazy as it might sound, they can stand the weight and they will pay for themselves. 

Plus it would be like Tron if it was real 

It will be good if it does happen, but it sounds like it would be hard to do and it would be a long time to use it in a lot of areas.

If this does happen though, cool.

It would definitely take a long time to get them up and running. I don't see it happening anytime soon. I most likely won't live to see solar roadways become a reality. But a girl can dream right? 

See, these are ideas I can get behind. I'm not in a position to watch the video right now, is all. All of those point are quite good and valid. My only question is how it would be if you actually crunched the numbers. And it also depends on whether or not the technology is available. If there isn't enough energy being converted, we could still end up at a loss.

The number is an estimate from the the FHA. And yes, the technology is available. Two prototypes were invented in 2006. That was 8 years ago. The technology has probably been improved upon since then. And the energy conversion shouldn't be a problem. It's not like we're running out of sunlight any time soon. 

I do wish you could watch the video though. He does a much better job explaining this than I can. 

The fact that in generates sustainable electricity is kinda the point. They're not just pretty roads. If every road in America were paved with these they'd generate enough electricity to power the entire country 3x over. (If every road in Australia were paved with these we'd probably generate enough electricity to power the entire globe, haha.)

 

Not to mention they could store electricity to power hybrid and electric cars as they travel along the road, and they stay warm in winter to keep ice and snow away. It's really, really, really cool stuff.

 

I agree with Shady Bubbles, these things are awesome, and it's like a utopian sci-fi dream made reality if they become common place.

Exactly! I didn't even think about powering electric cars, but that's another benefit to them. No more paying 4$ a gallon at the pump. The road could fuel your vehicle! 

It's like a solution to half of America's problems in one go. The only drawback I could see would be dealing with getting to work, etc while the roads are being converted. But there's always detours 

I don't really see a reason to be funding this. ^^"

 

Why do you think it should be funded? ^^

 

To me, it just looks like something to make roads look cooler.

 

However, I don't think the government would be spending billions of dollars just to get this fancy addition done to the roads. ^^"

 

But hey, that's just me. ^^

Well, it's like he explained in the video. The removal of power lines and telephone poles helps keep our roads safe from falling livewires. The fact that our roads would be solar panels generates electricity. Imagine if your driveway was made of solar panels. It sits in the sun all day while you're at work. Think of how much stuff it could power by the time you get home. The building and installation process could provide thousands of jobs across the states. The LED lights could warn you of upcoming roadway hazards. The panels are also heated to prevent them from being covered in ice and snow, so tax money wouldn't need to be spent on clearing the roads. If we replaced all of our paved roads with solar panels, we could generate 3x as much energy as the USA currently uses. No more nuclear power, no more power outages, no more wasted tax money on fixing cracked asphault, etc. They're good for the environment AND the economy. And plus...

They're SOLAR FREAKIN ROADWAYS!   (I had to do it)

The fact that they look cool is only an added bonus. Don't let it fool you. These things will pay for themselves. And they have far too many benefits to be ignored.

This.

I haven't watched the video, so I don't know the specifics, but unless the roads do more than just make things light up, there's really no need for it.

I'm all for clean, renewable energy, so if this was able to convert solar into enough electricity to outweigh the price of installation, then I'd easily be on it's side. But as a fancy looking thing to drive on, I'm not so hyped.

Watch the video. It will change your mind and explain everything. If it was just an idea to make our roads prettier, then I wouldn't support it. But there's just so many avantages that I don't see any reason why we SHOULDN'T have these things.

Three words.

Solar

FREAKIN

Roadways

The basic idea is that we replace all of our useless pavement with solar panels that have built-in LED lights.

Personally I think it's a fantastic idea, and the video makes some excellent points about the advantages of 

Solar

FREAKIN

Roadways

So tell me your thoughts. Should we be funding this? Why or why not?

True, true. Although that brings up the issue of how to know when enough is enough. Considering that people online are.... well, people online—people who don't know each other IRL, where one doesn't have any idea how the other thinks and feels—it's darn near impossible in any situation to know for certain how a comment will affect someone. What may be totally harmless to one person may be the final straw that leads another person to suicide. Extreme? Yes, but not entirely unrealistic. And in the end, is it really worth the risk for a couple laughs?

That's a good point. You can never really know how your post might affect the person on the recieving end.

brb killing myself you hurt my feelings

But in all seriousness, it's not something that should be taken seriously. Sticks and stones and all that. I often find myself messaging people online who are victims of trolling to remind them that if they get mad or hurt that they are letting the troll win. They are (hopefully) smart enough to realize that the best way to deal with these things is to join in on the joke. I don't mean to ally oneself with the trolls, but instead to troll them back. Fight fire with fire. Of course that can be bad too...

It's just hard to define it as good or bad. It's like everything else in life. There is no black or white, but rather many shades of gray. And no, I'm not talking about the porn book 

I've been playing a lot of Yugioh on the Dueling Network recently to try and get more practice with my deck build. I'm not even sure why... I'll never be good 

It depends on how serious it is. As long as no one is being insulted or ridiculed to the point that they are emotionally hurt, then I see no issue. It's just like any other form of trolling. The trolls just need to know when enough is enough. It can all be in good fun for a while, but it can get annoying and in some cases can have serious consequences. 

So it's a case by case thing just like anything else. In certain scenarios it can be okay. In certain other scenarios it can be a horrendous crime against God that is punishable by eternal damnation and all that. It just depends on the situation 

Has anyone here played Mushihimesama Futari? The final boss in that game is ridiculous. I mean it's a bullet hell game, but still... 

EDIT: Here's a video. This game is so unfair
