That depends very much on what kind of story you want to write. The zombie apocalypse is always a favorite, but something like Fallout tends to well too. You could have an alternative universe in which dragons have taken over the world, or possibly aliens. The apocalypse may have been caused by a natural disaster, or a chain reaction of them.
What is the purpose in setting the story in such a world, and what are the hardships you want the characters to face? Is there an underlying social element you wish to explore? All of these things change the kind of apocalypse you'll need to best achieve your effects.

I got 121, meaning I lost 2 points from last time I did an IQ test. Oh well.

I actually love talking about religion because it fascinates me how people can believe such things. I tend to keep my sarcasm to myself in such conversations, although it gets a bit difficult sometimes.
As for what I find incredibly annoying, parents using their parental powers to ignore any form of logic and common sense. I would say I hate hypocrisy in general but I've been known to be one myself, so eh. I also have a hatred for the sound of whispering, and sadly a lot of people seem to enjoy doing it. It just makes my skin crawl.

I buy a lot of stuff online because it's so easy to find everything. Occasionally I'll go into the city to buy something if I know they carry it, but otherwise I just order online.

My actual headcanon is that they're off somewhere looking for more Equestrian magic to get their hands on, so they can restore their pendants and continue feeding on negative emotions.
What I hope happened is that they have crappy day jobs in a fast food joint, which they eke out by appearing in certain commercials late at night on TV.

I'd probably use it to get rich so I can carry out my actual evil plans: Living a comfortable life without doing any work for it.

Could be, I guess. Though the book's lines actually sound better written than the movie's surprisingly.
The RR line was ad-libbed by Tabitha St Germain, so on the whole the lines will probably be better written in the books. I personally like the movie versions better, though.

Well i guess but im still really outa shape.
Well, ultimately it's up to you. If you get a chance to try, though, just go for it.
-
Im like, really out of shape, like fat outa shape.
I'm currently at least 20kgs (~40lbs) overweight. Conditioning training will be hell, as it is for me, but the fencing itself is still very possible. As a bonus, fencing is intensive, whether it looks to be or not. You'll lose weight and get to stab people with a sword at the same time.
-
To be honest, i really want to try fencing but it im out of shape. when i get in shape im going to learn how to sword fight tho.
Give it a try anyway. At this moment, I myself am out of shape as well, but using the right tactics you can draw someone into a slower pace and defeat them. Especially on my weapon, epee, it's relatively easy and common to draw someone into a slow fight because static opponents are often very hard to defeat.
-
Welp, I guess I'll wait until Monday to watch everything in one go, then. I really don't want to watch a regular episode after the finals. What were they on when they thought that was a good move?=/
-
Dang, maybe its a preminision of the future. I hope you get some better equipment and you don't get hurt.
No worries, weapons failing is a very common thing in fencing. My actual jacket and breeches aren't compromised at all, and wires, springs, and screws usually break at the worst moments. That said, I do test my weapons after every bout now, just to make sure they're still good. It saves me a lot of stress as well.

If anything I feel like the CMC have the potential to keep G4 going after the Mane Six's story is done, perhaps as G4.5. The only issue is that the writers seem intent on rehashing things they've already done, while it's relatively easy to give them new adventures that don't retread old ground. It's not that their characters have become useless, it's that they're not being used to their full potential right now. To be fair, though, I don't think the Mane Six are being used to their full potential either this season.

I never thought I'd find myself saying it, but Sunset's plan was actually smarter than Gladmane's, in that Sunset used hacked phones and whatnot to make it seem like the accusations and other fun things came from the person in question, whereas Gladmane was just acting like a go-between here.
That said, Gladmane's plan was different from Sunset's because Gladmane sought to befriend the 'spurned' ponies, while Sunset just wanted to drive them apart and nothing more. In short, similar, but not the same.

It depends. YouTube is one of my standard ones for music, MLPForums sometimes if I happen to be into ponies a lot at that time, and TV Tropes when I'm bored as hell.

I used to be afraid of pretty much every animal out there. Now, having had cats and a dog, I'm not scared of them anymore at all. I also hate needles, but not to such an extent that I'd faint from them or something. I just really want to keep them away from me. Lastly...I hate roller coasters. I love heights, but being in an uncomfortable car hurtling towards the ground really, really sucks. I hate that feeling of freefall, and I hate the G-forces. Never going into one again.

I have a fairly average voice, maybe a bit on the higher side. I wish I'd have a badass baritone voice like my step dad has, but alas.

The dreams I have in which I'm surrounded by an apocalyptic event are the ones I enjoy most, strangely enough. My worst actual nightmares are about fencing. In every such dream, my equipment fails one way or another, for instance last time my epee was made of tinfoil and crumpled when I touched it, whereas my opponent used a lightsaber.
This comes from the fact that my equipment IRL breaks a lot. Screws and tips flying off, wires and blades breaking, you name it. Every tournament I begin with four weapons or so, and leave with one or two working at most.

I'm fluent in Dutch (my native tongue) and English, I understand German and more or less speak it, I understand a bit of French, I know some very basic Japanese...and that's about it.
My goal is to learn German, French, Greek, Japanese, and Swedish well enough to carry a conversation in them. German and French, because those are the languages aside from English I'll be exposed to most. Greek, because my girlfriend is half-Greek. Japanese because I'm a weeb, and Swedish...because it's super easy.
-
I wish I had, but no. I have a full time job, and in the evenings I have fencing practice or general strength training (which I have been skipping to gain more free time, and as a consequence I also gained weight...). I've had a two month 'break' last year when I quit my last job and couldn't be arsed to find a new one immediately, and it was glorious. Now, the realization that I'll have to work for another 45 years or so is just soul crushing.

I will probably be murdered for saying this, but I have a particular fondness for Starbucks' Seattle Latte cold coffee. I only like coffee when it's mostly milk anyway, and those Seattle Lattes have exactly the right amount of milk, sugar, and coffee.

I actually prefer the separation between competitive and casual to games where that separation doesn't exist. Looking from an online standpoint, if the game has just one multiplayer mode, the tryharders and casuals will get lumped into one game. The tryharders will rage at the casuals because they're not using optimal strategies, while the casuals will rage at the tryharders for being, well, tryharders.
If the rules are vastly different between modes, well, so what? If a game has a ranked system you begin in a low tier anyway, so you'll have more than enough time to get used to the different rules. In the case of SSB, it's quite easy to practice using tournament rules so it's not like you're thrown into the deep end immediately.
A game with complex mechanics isn't always bad either because it can be a lot of fun trying to figure out what the strengths and weaknesses of different classes are. Again, there's probably a distinction between ranked and unranked so it should be possible to learn the mechanics long before they actually become relevant.
Splitting up people who want to play casually or those who really want to play well is a way to make both groups have more fun. If the two groups don't get along then that's just an unfortunate side effect but IMO still better than not having the distinction.

I think this is just another step in a long line of misinformed decisions that will ultimately only lead to the decay of YouTube as a platform. Already it's overrun by trolls and other assorted idiots, so giving these people the power to mete out 'justice' seems like the best possible way to get everything flagged and removed. I do mean everything, since this mass of writhing opinions isn't going to stand united in all of this.
Given enough time, these people will bring down YouTube, but I think that before it comes to that the program will have been scrapped and their perks and privileges revoked. They'll do damage, a lot of it, but YouTube will survive.

I've probably watched Voyager the most, but I also liked Enterprise a lot. Sacrilege though it may be, I never cared much for the other Star Trek series.

Season 7 Confirmed
in MLP:FiM Canon Discussion
I've been expecting Season 7 to be the last one, but I guess time will tell. I'm hoping for a strong final season, if it is to be the last one.
