Samurai Equine

Can we meet up face to face? I'm feeling out of place. And this world around feel so rearranged...

*Dresses up like Celestia*

*Clears throat* Sparklefan! It's an emergency! Blah, blah, blah, blah, evil enemy has awakened, blah, blah, blah, blah, power of friendship, blah, blah, blah, blah, Equestria lies in the balance, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Now go do the thing!

NO SAMURAI FACT BLOG POST THIS WEEK! & NO SAMURAI FACT NEXT WEEK EITHER!

Just wanted to give everyone a heads up. Taking two-week a break because of the holidays.
Happy Hearts-Warming/Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays.

Stay awesome, my crowd. 

Last week was great! I was off for all of it except Monday. 

But I couldn't get any straight answers, so I had to come in and work today. I'll be working Tuesday as well, and probably Friday. But Wednesday and Thursday, I'll be off.

At least I have more time to be here with my friends. 

Care to dance?

Today was a good day. 

It was a little cold yesterday, and it was also a little cold today. Finally, a break from all this heat! But I don't expect it be cold much longer.
Today didn't feel as cold as it was yesterday, so I wouldn't be surprised if it warms up completely tomorrow. Though I sure would appreciate it if it stayed cold for a while. 

Anyone care for a cappuccino?

Live, love, & learn; my crowd. 

Green redemption~ 

How goes it, my crowd? 

Just a normal Monday for me. I did find an interesting recipe for a beef pie, so I am definitely going to try that soon.

I'm gonna watch the Ducktales movie from the original TV series. I know, it won't be the same. Even so, I want to make the adventures last as long as I can. I get the feeling I am going to miss the reboot.

Take care, my crowd. 

Well, tomorrow is Turkey Day.

I will have the day off of work, but I'll be busy for the most part with family. So if I don't log on tomorrow, then you'll know why.

If I could, I'd save a place at the table for all my friends at this forum. 
I am thankful for everyone I've met here. I feel like we are all brothers and sisters, but I'll settle for just "friend". Because a true-blue friend is priceless.
 

Put down that relic... It's time for REAL or FAKE! Rainbow's Friends Editions.
Please don't squabble. You'll need a steady hoof and the eyes of a beast to spot the 5 fake images. 

As usual, all comments are welcome and will be rewarded with points no matter what! But winners will be given the most points.
No such thing as cheating here! Feel free to copy anyone else's answers. Feel free to Google. Feel free to do whatever you like to help you win!
Good luck, my crowd. 

I know we all miss the Hug reaction and all, but...

Why does the Thanks reaction look like a sad Rarity?  I mean it looks better when you see the bigger version of the image, but when it's small, it just looks like Rarity is depressed or something.

The future guardian in crimson.

How are you doing, my crowd? 

What a good day to just relax and do nothing. The 4th gave me an extra day off. I barely touched the watermelon, so I got to do it today. It was SO good, I didn't want to put it down!

Also, pretty sure I heard more fireworks. What, did the neighborhood just have extras?  Every year, we have law breakers who fire off fireworks within city limits. However, this is the first time it feels worse.

Take care, my crowd. 

Hello, my crowd.

Would it be too much to ask for a hug?

I'm really low on things to talk about right now, and I'm feeling a little lonely.

Well, today was a busy day. Sorry for the late update, my crowd.

I feel a little bad... @Sparklefan1234 inspired me to make a banner for my profile, and I'd be done by now... if it weren't for the fact that something is missing, and I don't know how to fill it in. 

I've also decided to be a lot more active here! I missed it so much, so I am brohoofing and relying to status updates more often. Maybe not every one that I see, but more than I usually do. And I am happy about that! 

...I kind of want to make some more mashups...

Anyways, here's songs random song samples. I have no idea who made them or what they are called. The only thing I know is the genre of music, and that has become their filenames for now. Good luck identifying them if you want, my crowd.  (Bossa Nova's my favorite among the group.)

Time for a poll again! This time, I'm looking at a Double Feature.
Which two movies should I see this week?

(GIVE A BROHOOF / COMMENT "1" FOR...) Live Action Dumbo & Maleficent 2
(GIVE A SHOCKED / COMMENT "2" FOR...) The Truman Show & Mr. and Mrs. Jones
(GIVE A THANKS / COMMENT "3" FOR...) Addams Family (2019) & Teen Titans Go! To The Movies
(GIVE A YAY / COMMENT "4" FOR...) Other (leave a suggestion in the comments)

I probably won't do #4, but if the suggestion is good, I'll keep it in mind for the future. 

It's time once again to Equip the Script! Can you guess the right answer? 

In Episode 7, Dragonshy, Fluttershy just finished explaining that she is only afraid of dragons and not other creatures. Pinkie Pie counters by saying "Spike is a dragon. You're not scared of him." To which Fluttershy responds with "Yes; because he's not a gigantic, terrifying, could-eat-a-pony-in-one-bite, all grown up dragon." Surprised, Twilight Sparkle asks "But if you're so afraid of dragons, why didn't you say something before we came all the way up here?" What is Fluttershy's response?

A. "I tried, but you weren't listening."
B. "It all just happened too fast."
C. "I was afraid to."
D. "[Scared mumbles]"

And yes, the question is a trick question~!

• There is no limit on who can win this game.
• Answer the question correctly, become a 1st place winner.
• Find the trick part of the question, and you become an S-Rank winner.
• Comment, leave extra quotes or trivia, or do anything else, and you get a bonus hug.

Good luck, my crowd. 

From the ashes of the old game rises a new game...

It's time to play SCREENCAP AMONG US! First Episode Edition.
10 images total. 9 of these images are from the first episodes of each 9 seasons of MLP, which means 1 of them is a fake. Can you spot the impostor? 

All comments get points. Funny comments get more points.
Winners get the most points, but if you can tell me the source of the fake image, you'll become an S Rank winner.
Remember, there is only ONE impostor in this current game, but that might change in the next round...
Feel free to Image Search, Copy Answers, or do whatever you want to win! No such thing as cheating in this game!

Good luck my, my crowd. 

Being out of shape and having high blood pressure/anxiety attacks is NOT good for manual labor...

I worked hard, but I can help but feel Applejack would be disappointed in me... 

"Seriously?! That's all ya got, pardner? Why, I I haven't quit THAT early since I was-- Wait, have I ever quit that early? "

Well, I got really preoccupied Friday, so I couldn't post it then. Better late than never, let's see the winner of Tuesday's game!
And the winner, by default, is: @DivineBeauty1000! Because he was the only one that participated! 

On next week's Real or Fake, we'll play the Squeaky Bell Edition.

Also, to all the Sonic the Hedgehog fans out there, is this a collector's item?

Thought it'd be a nice change of pace outside of the usual face mask.
Even if it is a collector's item, they were on sale for 5 dollars. I can always get another. 

I decided to take a break on revisiting Kamen Rider Decade in favor of revisiting Kamen Rider Blade. And let me tell you, it is WAY more rewarding to watch a drama with an actual story to tell instead of something that is just rehashing 9 or more shows that came before.

That's all for now, my crowd. Take care. 

What's up, my crowd?

Things sure are changing, aren't they? 

First I learn about the new roleplay system, and now there is a new Friends system. What else has changed, I wonder? 
Funny thing is, all of this feels like the mods are still working on it. So it might need some tweaking and adjusting, but it looks cool so far.
What do you all think?

Take care for now, my crowd. 

Hello there, my crowd! Welcome to my Weekly Musings: Orange Edition. 

[I ❤ JAPAN] -- [I ❤ THE COLOR RED] -- [I ❤ CELESTIA]

   Feel free to leave a video request. Your video will eventually be featured in a future Weekly Musings entry!   

Sorry for the late summary. I got so busy spending time with my family on Sunday that I didn't have time to post this last night.  Allow me to explain more, my crowd.

 Wow, TWO big holidays over the week we just finished! April Fools AND Easter Sunday!  My April Fools gag almost went too far for some people, but I know I'll do better next year. An emo Celestia is an oxymoron anyways. As for Easter? As usual, my family got together after church. I still chose not to go because I've not been vaccinated yet, which might have been for the best since I heard my local church is not social distancing any more. We had a big lunch together and spent some more time together afterwards. The lunch was interesting. We usually have a home made meal on Easter Sundays, but this time we ate out. One of my uncles was out of town, so it was a small get-together anyways. By the time we were done with family bonding, I hardly had that much time to myself. By the time I finished watching a movie and everything, it was time for bed. No time to post this weekly summary.

 In personal, uneventful news, I actually managed to have Tacos on a Tuesday for once.  It's something I always hear about, but I never manage to do it. I only have tacos when I go out to eat (because I never think about buying taco shells when I'm getting groceries). And when I go out to eat during the week, it's usually on a Wednesday. But lately things have just been kind of random, and this was a nice change of pace. Also, I'm on a hunt to fine psychedelic music, something a 60's or 70's vibe with trippy, nonsense lyrics. A good example would be anything similar to "I Am The Walrus" by the Beatles or perhaps anything by Klaatu.

 Wow! There's been a lot of Kamen Rider news recently! There's going to be a reboot (possibly anime?) of Kamen Rider Black; called Kamen Rider Black Sun. Let's just hope they don't make it too convoluted like the first episode of the TV show did. (Does anyone even realize that Minami and Nobuhiko aren't even related by blood?) There's going to be an anime of Kamen Rider Double, because apparently there was a manga that got really popular. (I wonder if this is Toei's response to the vastly successful SSSS Gridman?) I hope the original actors reprise their roles. And lastly, there is going to be a movie called "Shin Kamen Rider". I was disappointed because I thought that it might be the long awaited continuation to that Kamen Rider prologue movie, but I think it's just going to be another reboot of the original Kamen Rider from the 70's. But it's being directed by Shin Godzilla/Evangelion's Hideki Ano! So that's something.

 Well I didn't think she would, but @Windy Breeze has done it again!  On top of drawing my pony OC, she has begun writing fiction feature my OC, hers, and a few others. You can read the first chapter HERE and the second chapter HERE. Can't wait for part 3!

 MOVIE TIME!  GODZILLA VS KONG (2021). Wow! I actually like this movie! First of all, this movie was MADE to be seen on the big screen. I am sorry I didn’t get that chance, but no vaccine yet, so I’m not taking any chances. Second, I am so glad they ditched any phoned-in environmental message that dragged down the last American Godzilla movie. Third, sad to say that a certain Theory video on YouTube kind of ruined the ending for me, but that doesn’t make the fight scenes and the journey leading up to it any less enjoyable. Fourth, I didn’t care for how the story framed Kong as the hero of this story since Goji’s not a villain. Seems a little unbalanced. Fifth, not my favorite Mechagodzilla in terms of visual design, but he was still pretty epic in action. Sixth, I really wish they had done the final fight in Japan instead of Hong Kong. Come on, movie! That was a prime opportunity! Seventh, I don’t know what the plans are for the future, but I wouldn’t mind a follow up to this. Next time? Haven't decided on a movie yet.

 Saber 29: Poseidon Swings!  I’m mostly speechless right now. It’s a great episode that REALLY leaves you wanting more! However, Rintaro/Blades is the real idiot of this episode. If he had just went to Northern Base instead of confronting Master of Logos alone, none of this mess would have happened. But at least one good thing came from this confusion. Sophia’s back, baby! YES!

 Zenkaiger 05: Sushi Settling!  And with that, we settle back into the standard MOTW format. I wouldn’t be surprised if the reason why Zenkaizer can’t travel to Tojitendo is because he’s human and only mechanical lifeforms can go through the portals. Still, as we move on to new episodes, I hope they still find a way to keep things interesting. I know they won’t rely on the whole “rookies learning the ropes” trope for too long. Might be nice if they actually set some episodes aside to learn about other Sentai realities since they are borrowing those powers, and it would be educational for new fans. (Also, with all the sushi-based word play in this episode, am I the only one who wishes they had used Shinkenger/ShinkenGold's power?)

That's it for now, my crowd.  Take care, and open up those bug eyes.

Anyone remember the original live action X-Men movies from the early 2000's? Anyone remember that old X-Men arcade game with the funny, awkward voice acting? Anyone think it would be cool if we combined those two things? .... No?  Well I thought it was hilarious! Honestly, I wouldn't mind seeing an entire movie stylized this way. This is "‘X-Men’ movies dubbed with arcade game sounds!" by RetroSFX.

Wait a minute, everypony!

Correct answers only, please!

 *Clicks on my profile page out of boredom*

...*Spits out my drink*  Wha?! Huh?! Guh... HOW?! WHEN?! And more importantly... WHY WASN'T I NOTIFIED ABOUT THIS?!

Who did this? @Deerie, did you do this?! You did, didn't you? I was trying to make YOU win the day!  This isn't fair, I never win anything nice like this. Now what do I do?
Sorry for making 2 Status Updates in a row like this; I just HAD to say something!

...Excuse me a second...

*Straightens up and acts normal*  We now return you to your regularly scheduled programming.

Psst. My crowd, don't tell Twilight about Gumby. Flash and Timber were bad enough.
The last thing you wanna see is a purple pony trying to make out with a piece of clay. 

 Let's hope this game isn't a catch-22~! It's time once again to play SCREENCAP AMONG US! Twenty-Second Episode Edition.
