    I'm crossing my fingers that my Weather Factory Meltdown game will get a bye because I'm building it as a parody.

    Rarity as a pirate...would I end up shot out of a cannon and shattered? Or am I her natural ally...?
  3. HereComesTom
    Uh oh. I realize I'm a rock and probably mostly bulletproof and bladeproof, but come on---it's Deadpool! He'll find a way, and it'll probably be hilarious!

    This was one of my favorite themes from SMRPG! I'm so glad you're going through these other Mario games!

    I loved Mushroom Way

    Element of Silicon! ...I couldn't resist!

    Nice, but I don't remember Koopa Beach sounding so...ominous! Maybe it's the organ that brings out some of the minor-key-ish parts of it?

    Do you suppose that's because that's the world you're used to? Or maybe because it's the world that has the characters and world you've really gotten to know over the last seven or eight years?

    Sorry if there's too much stuff about G-5 flying around already, but...well... So...yeah, the leaked G-5 information inspired this fanfiction; I took what little I knew and tried building a story with it that introduces newer versions of the mane six to each other. I could use some feedback on it; please let me know what you think: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12852499/1/Brand-New-Day I'm considering doing another one of these with a few changes to the plot, the worlds, and what it means to be and earth pony.

    Are animations allowed? Because I made this one a couple years ago:
  11. HereComesTom
    Definitely yes!

    For a minute, I thought "Oh, Grate Guy's Casino from Super Mario RPG!" ...Nope! Older tune than that!
  13. HereComesTom
    I looked up real-life lore about fairies, and it turns out their weakness is bread. (True story!)
  14. HereComesTom
    Class M stars are all over place in the universe!
  15. HereComesTom
    Some of the faster changes in the tune aren't quite suited for the organ, e.g. the starman theme, but overall it was excellent!
  16. HereComesTom
    I thought it was released, but (according to the box) only for super gamers! That said, I was alive at the time, and I don't recall seeing The Lost Levels game anywhere---not until the Super Mario All-Stars game for the SNES, anyway!

    I'm hoping this animation is smooth enough; I think I'll build on this one to finish up the tail-animation:

    Sorry if I sound insensitive by saying this, but this truly, honestly looks to me like it's exactly what someone would post if they wanted to mock liberals by pretending to be one and then completely going over-the-top. If someone posted this 10 years ago, I probably wouldn't hesitate to believe it was meant to be a joke. These days, there's a better-than-even chance that it's actually serious, which is concerning. I mean, when you think about it logically---well, BronyNumber42licious summed it up perfectly. Blaming you for what Hernan Cortez did to the Aztecs is just as stupid as blaming Nelson Mandela for stuff that Robert Mugabe did, or blaming Confucius for something Mao Zedong did, or blaming Garret Wang (a korean actor, the first korean who popped into my head) for something Kim Jong Un did. It just doesn't make any sense; each person is responsible for their own actions, not for others' actions, especially when their lives don't even overlap chronologically. Also, to believe that a person's identity and character aren't defined by the color of their skin is the very definition of not-being-racist. And yes, it's possible to be racist towards white people, and to think that you can't be racist against white people is simultaneously racist in and of itself and enabling racism. Reverse-racism, maybe, but reverse-racism is still racism. So...all-in-all, these lines of thinking, whether it's you thinking them or people around you, just don't make any sense at all. And it's how little sense it makes that makes your post look to me like it could function as a joke. Again, I'm sorry if it sounds insensitive for me to say that, but I'm trying to be honest and put it in perspective.

    How would you feel if they kept the story of FiM going in books and comics?

    Thanks for posting this---my main re-exposure to this song was through the mashup between this song and the Final Bowser Theme from Yoshi's Island for the SNES. Don't get me wrong, that was a greatmashup, but I like being able to hear what the original sounded like before SNES BGM got mixed into it

    Well, the tail-animation isn't off to the best start; this is the animation at 10x normal speed---I try to start out with eight frames, then build on those to sixteen, then fill out the full eighty, but these eight frames make her tail's animation look...jiggly. Especially at the top. I think I'm going to have to smooth things out a bit before I can move forward...

    I've bought very little merch---unless you count books; I got the Tails of Equestria sourcebook for the tabletop game, the first six mane-six-specific chapterbooks by G.M. Barrow, and I bought one toy to use as a drawing reference. Besides that, most of my toy-purchases have been either for Toys for Tots or for a pegasister I know IRL. Yeah...TBH rebooting the continuity means the characters they have, now have opportunities to start over and grow again. They could also change their backstories, ambitions, and even their families---we could see what Applejack would've been like if her parents were still alive, for instance. Actually, you might want to reserve judgment until you've read my fanfic---I'm writing a kind of a proof-of-concept fanfic right now called Brand New Day---it's kind of like my attempt at writing a believable pilot for G-5, or at least it started that way, but I'm putting my own experiences into it more and more to the point where I'm not sure what it is anymore---the only thing I'm certain that it is anymore is that it's an attempt at a "what if" scenario where Twilight is an earth pony with a very different backstory from her G-4 counterpart, and the overall theme is Family instead of Friendship.

    I realize there are a lot of threads about this kind of thing, but I wanted to talk about some reasons why the leaked information makes sense and also why it doesn't. To be honest, my first reaction was hoping it was all a hoax. Then I started thinking about ways in which it makes perfect sense to reboot the franchise, and ways in which it makes no sense at all to do a reboot. I compiled my thoughts and feelings into this video; I think a lot of bronies are feeling the same way as I am. But one thing I ended with that I'm not seeing much of, is hope that the G-4 story can continue in books and comics, even if the TV show has a finale---it worked for Star Trek, didn't it?
  24. HereComesTom
    I'm crossing my fingers that, even if the TV show ends, the story of FiM can continue in comics and books. I've got a whole rant on this subject about how much and how little ending FiM makes sense sitting on my hard disk; I should get it onto youtube soon...

    It's false because neither pens nor swords can lift weights; they're inanimate objects. Celestia does not need to eat a Jimmy Dean's breakfast before she can raise the sun.
