    Best: Tied. Xbox 360 Controller 2005 Xbox 360 -perfect ergonomical stick placement. I imagine small hands would have some trouble, though. -butter-smooth triggers. Wii Classic Controller Pro 2009 Nintendo Wii -Say what you will about the Wiimote, but the pro Classic controller is actually really nice. Worst: Nintendo 64 Controller 1996 Nintendo 64 -Spindly, hard to control analog sticks. -Who thought three handles was a good idea? If handhelds count... Sony PSP 2004 -The analog stick is useless, sticks often, and is hard to keep a grip on. HD screen is nice, yes, but the stick is its downfall.

    Coldplay's The Scientist is probably the best cry song ever. "Tell me you love me, come back and haunt me..." Combine with the music video for extra sadness potential.

    Sunset Shimmer or Spitfire.

    Accidentally stole a Hot Wheels from a thrift store once when I was like 5 or 6. Other than that, no, unless you count torrenting. I think everyone has stolen something at least once in their lives, really. Usually when you're younger, while your impulse control is basically nonexistent.

    8.5/10. Not the best song from Friendship Games, but certainly up there. RainbowCrash88 is god-tier.

    RainbowCrash88 is da man. Seriously. So good it's unreal. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHCtGhXCKYI

    Of course. Bacon Hair isn't even in the show's universe, so literally nothing would change. It would kill EG for me if she disappeared from the movies, though.

    So EQLA was pretty boss. The Larson/Faust panel was heartwarming and incredible and everyone needs to watch it when it gets posted on YT.

    Failing at GRID Autosport, 'cause I haven't played it in months.

    IndyCar driver Justin Wilson died today from injuries sustained in a crash this Sunday. The wounds from Jules Bianchi's death are still fresh in the racing world. It's a bad time to be a racing fan.

    Probably one of the best lines in the whole series.

    Watching the IMSA stream of the Continental Tire Challenge at Virginia International Raceway. Still am, in fact.

    Kevan Brighting. I loved his narration in Stanley Parable.

    Forza 4. Slowly but surely whittling away at the Bucket List achievement.

    My all-time favorite band is Matchbox Twenty. Other favorites, in no particular order: Coldplay Panic at the Disco Mystery Skulls fun. The Black Keys

    Cars. Old and new, beige and exotic, from Abarth to Zastava.

    Derpibooru. Forget which submission it was, since I don't have the original image before cropping.

    I unfortunately don't have an Xbone, and don't have the extra money to spend on one either. Which is a shame, since I'm a huge racing fan and 6 looks to be the best Forza yet with all the new features they're adding. A few cars I'd love to see added. Some are probably unrealistic though a few have been seen in previous installments: DeLorean Bentley Speed 8 Chaparral 2C Chaparral 2D Lancia Montecarlo - A gorgeous, DeLorean-esque Pininfarina work of art. Iso Grifo - This Giugiaro-designed, Bizzarrini-engineered, Alfa Montreal-esque grand tourer was one of the fastest cars of its day. An obscure car like the Iso deserves more love. Even Gran Turismo, for all of its absurdly large selection, doesn't have this one.

    I think even Twilight would tell me I have a problem.

    7/10. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XVtOwUvrJkY I like this even more than the original. And that's saying something.

    Just got back from summer vacation in Oregon. A beautiful place to be sure, but I missed the city after a couple weeks. I've definitely got culture shock from going back to LA after spending a month in the woods.

    This. Fairy/Dragon could be interesting, as well.

    Cadance. While probably the least powerful of the four in terms of raw magical strength, particularly in regards to her offensive capability, her strong empathomantic abilities more than make up for her lack of offensive might. It stands to reason that if she can make two ponies fall in love, she also has the potential to make ponies stop loving or even hate each other if she so desired, since once can't really control love without also controlling hate. Emotions can drive anyone to go to extreme measures that they probably wouldn't even consider for a moment in normal circumstances-Celestia's use of the Elements of Harmony on her sister Luna is a good example; done with the best intentions out of love for both her country and her sister, but unintentionally banishing her for a millennium as a result due to the Elements' unpredictability. It's also shown to be very, very physically powerful as well, if Chrysalis's defeat of Celestia using the love energy of a single pony is anything to go by. True, only the changelings are ever shown to utilize love as fuel for their offensive power-and only Chrysalis to such an extreme extent-but whether or not Cadance can as well remains to be seen. Even if she can't, empathomancy is still a very dangerous ability.

    True, it is closed source, but at some point they're looking to open the physics engine source up-or offer it for sale, at the very least-so that other developers can use it in their games. RoR's open source, yes, but I don't think that automatically makes it 'better' or 'worse' than BeamNG just because of that. And yes, it's also quite early in development, but it's already more graphically and physically advanced than RoR. In RoR the body meshes tend to bug out and stretch in unrealistic or glitchy ways; in BeamNG, the vehicle needs to undergo an absurd amount of punishment for that to happen; BeamNG also has a failsafe automatic reset for this bug, so the vehicle will force-reset if the mesh stretching gets too extreme. Also, vehicles aren't invincible like they are in RoR, and the driveline can break, killing the vehicle if it's hit hard enough or in the wrong spot. Sports cars are less durable, while some trucks are almost invincible. Whether or not this is a good thing is down to user preference; personally, I prefer the realism. BeamNG also has an AI system, simulation speed controls (and physics freeze), and on-the-fly gravity level adjustment. Sound is the sim's weakest point, but it's still not too bad. RoR does have more mods available for it, but that's a bit skewed since RoR has been around for longer than BeamNG has. BeamNG also requires a significantly stronger processor and (depending on graphics settings) GPU, due to the more advanced physics calculations and more detailed environments.
