  1. Oh shit! you know your commentary community, I thought I was the only one. You are right about Guptill and joshua but I can name you a few other bandwagons through the years like Salormoonred1 (guy who like to play with dolls in front of a webcam) LifeInATent (thumbs up for epic earthquake LIAT-2011) TheGemOf99 (more recent bandwagon, he just makes bad comms) Meta527ii (Stalker) GurigorloX (smaller bandwagon, just another idiot) Chirs Chan (if you don't know who Chirs Chan is you haven't been online for too long) Eddythefalsepriest (another recent bandwagon, don't know much about him) All of these people have been rather violently ripped apart by the commentary community, though today you don't see many bandwagons because they usually all gang up on someone in one huge Co-op (See a channel on youtube called BunchOfPusdoIntellectuals or BoP for short)
  2. The sort of commentaries described remind me of a group of people I know of that call themselves "The Commentary Community" which really amounts to a group of tightly knit youtubers/ friends who all make the same style of commentaries, this being cut-away commentaries. The term cut-away is used because every time the commentator has a point to make they would cut away to a still image of a character from an anime, show, or what have you they choose to represent them self and alternate images depending on what they saying, and just in case you are curious, yes, there are cut away commentators, quite a surprising number actually, who use ponies from the show as these representative characters. These cut-away commentaries mainly consist of criticizing the video for its flaws, sometimes very harshly, while mixing jokes into the points for good measure. So even thought this "Commentary Community" I know of has gone through drama after drama, I still find enjoyment in cut-away commentaries. I generally enjoy seeing some idiot get served a slice of cold logic, especially if that person deserves it. This cut-away style was highly popular from 2010-2014 and since 2014 it has not been seen as much. Don't get me wrong, these cut-away commentaries are still around, but just not as common as they once were, that community community sort of tore its self apart. More modern commentaries, at least from my experience and what I have seen, blur the line between commentary and reaction videos. They show a part of the video and cut back to the "commentator" making a joke or reacting to it is some humorous way, usually with game play CoD, CS:GO, or some other shooter game playing on screen. These videos are OK but I don't like them as much as I like traditional commentaries. These people seem more focused on making jokes and poking fun of the video and that's fine but... Can you really call them commentaries? You say commentaries and someones mind will snap to what I just described and they call them commentaries, but honestly they feel more like reaction videos to me. So, In summary, I enjoy commentaries and I have no issue with them, but I feel the word commentary is getting muddled with to the point where people are getting confused as to what an actual commentary is, which is annoying.
  3. Analysis in in general And people obsessing over every tiny detail. If there is so much as a character with a wrong sounding voice, A WRONG NAME EVEN, your gonna fucking hear it yelled out loud from the rooftops by some dude. That is a trend that needs to die I wish more people would just enjoy the show without obsessing over every wrong the step the show makes or MIGHT make.
  4. Well I don't have any play sessions any longer than like 7 or so hours. I think my longest was Fallout 3 I fell in love with the game when I first bought it and once played it for about 7 hours straight. But My friend once played 14 hours of Starbound in one day He also plays Warframe for 5 hours or longer at a time almost daily I also recall when another friend of mine spent 9 hours on Garry's mod
  5. Now TeamFourStar?!?!?!? Ok, this has gone too fucking far! I don't care that their channel is back now. SOMETHING MUST BE DONE!!! People are speaking out in the thousands, and nobody is listening, WHY!?!?! #WTFU
  6. The Legend Of Zelda: Majora's Mask I don't use the term art often but i would describe The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, as art. Majora's Mask is a game that has so many underlying themes beneath the surface that it's astounding. There is a theme of death and grief seen thoughout the game that isn't present in other Zelda's. There are also themes of growing up, letting go of the past, restless spirits, all in the last level of the game alone. I believe that you owe it to yourself to play either Majora's Mask or Ocarina of Time at least once before you die. If you try to play Majora's Mask, play any version of it except the 3DS remake and you will not be disappointed, Seriously that remake is so bad it makes me weep, they fucked it up SO MUCH! SOOOOOO MUCH! undertale is overrated
  7. Drive By by Train has so many cringeworthy lyrics it's insulting. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oxqnFJ3lp5k For those of you who didn't click the link to save your sanity here are some of the highlights. "Just a shy guy lookin for a two-ply hefty bag to hold my-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay love" "They don't like it sue me, mmmmm the way you do me" "Oh i sware to ya, Ill be there for ya, this is not a Drive By-ay-ay-ay-ay" I mean I guess the band name is appropriate seeing as how listening to this song is about as much fun as getting hit by a train.
  8. I don't know about this, Its better than go... well ANYTHING is better than go but I really don't know. Dose Robin sound REALLY young to anyone? Like too young? Like 10 years old or something? I mean I know hes a teenager but I'm not the only one hearing this right? I mean it shows promise but it just seems like this movie is going to be edgy for the sake of being edgy. I heard words like hell and god in the trailer which honestly sounded forced and like a cheap way of saying, "guys look! Its not some kid shit, this is the real deal! God and hell, look how 2 edgy 5 me we are." I liked the show back in the mid 2000's but there is something about this movie that just seems... off. Not saying it's bad so please don't kill me! I'm just saying something about this don't seem right.
  9. I usually sleep in nothing but underwear, but every once in a while I will sleep naked.
  10. I don't like the ending to Fallout 3 You are supposed to go and turn on the water purifier but then you are told that the radiation level in the purification chamber is high and you will die if you go into it. Even though the actual radiation you are contracting within the chamber peaks at about 25 per second on the side opposite of where the numpad is, and at the numpad where you actually have to activate the purifier the radiation is about 3 per second. so basically the game kills you off when you really have no reason to be killed off (I know Broken Steel has you waking up two weeks later, alive and well and offers a much more satisfying ending overall but I'm talking about the vanilla ending to Fallout 3 with no DLC.) And the real slap in the face is, if you have a partner who is Immune to radiation with you and you send them into the purification chamber instead of yourself so no one has to die but the mission can still be completed, which is much more satisfying and kindhearted in my book. The game will berate you, saying. "In the end the lone wanderer chose not to follows his fathers selfless example." I think, something along those lines. With my response to that being ok well fuck you too game, so sorry I didn't die when I didn't have to but still completed my mission without a hitch.
  11. Pinkie Pie- nichijou Twilight Sparkle- Serial Experiments Lain, Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni Fluttershy- Lucky Star, Madoka Magica Rainbow Dash- Attack on Titan, Neon Genesis Evangelion Applejack- Cowboy Bebop, Trigun Rarity- Sailor Moon All - The Melancholy Of Haruhi Suzumiya (I tried to think of one character to recommend it too and couldn't so I'd recommend it to all of them)
  12. 23 now, got into the show when I was 18. I've told this story on other threads so I'll just give the abridged version here. MLPFiM came along at a dark time in my life when I really needed it the most and I believe the show shaped how I'am today in a large way. The brony community is great and while its not as pure as it was in late 2011 - early 2012 when I discovered it, it is still the most creative and widely accepting community I have seen, as well as the nicest.
  13. Hmmm... I have always wondered what it would be like to be in one of these reacts... I don't think I would like to participate in this one though mainly due to time constraints. If you do another one of these and I catch wind of it earlier, I will highly consider joining if you would be looking for new people to react that is. Not sure if you will make a new thread or just revive this one when and or if that happens, but I'll keep an eye on this.
  14. I wouldn't run for president because its a brutally stressful job that isn't worth the ponies, the money, or the hair I would lose... I love my hair. Me being a brony wouldn't have anything to do with that, I just hate politics.
  15. Twilight's Kingdom fight scene. It's still my favorite scene of the show but season 5 threatened to dethrone it more than once and almost did it when the CMC got their cutie marks, I still cry when I see that scene. But I still choose the fight scene from Twilight's Kingdom cause It's something I never expected from MLP. Honorable Mentions Coloratura's Song at the end of The Mane Event The end of Tanks for the Memories (I may have shed a tear) Moondancer's breakdown near the end of Amending Fences Twilight becoming an alicorn at the end of Magical Mystery Cure The reveal of Chrysalis in A Canterlot Wedding and the changeling invasion that follows This Day Aria also from A Canterlot Wedding (I personally don't like it all that much but its still a scene that sticks out to me) The entirety of Slice of Life
  16. As someone who has never had a Girlfriend, Valentines day has had no meaning to me since like Middle School. I don't see Valentines Day as a real holiday. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but from my understanding It's a hallmark holiday. A holiday that was conceived at a conference table to be celebrated on a certain day and was one that just so happened to stick. Even though i don't see Valentines day as a real Holiday, I'm sure it will have meaning to me once I do get a Girlfriend, but until then, It's just February 14th.
  17. I see that this thread has been dead for a while so I thought I would try to revive it. After all, favorites change and you discover new people and stuff so I would like to give my new top 20 favorite youtubers. 1. JonTron 2. PeanutButterGamer 3. brutalmoose 4. Yuriofwind 5. h3h3Productions 6. Leafyishere 7. DidYouKnowGaming 8. Caddicarus 9. Projared 10. YourMovieSucks 11. Yudhaikeledai 12. ToddInTheShadows 13. Pyrocynical 14. Jimmy Whetzel 15. TeamFourStar 16. Jaltoid 17. A+Start 18. ADoseofBuckley 19. JelloApocalypse 20. SlowMoGuys
  18. My reaction to Fine bros reaction series. Teens react/ Kids react- not bad I guess, makes for good content, I suppose. Youtubers react- I like this, kinda like bronies react, only It's famous youtubers, and its not pony related. Elders React- Ummm... O-Ok I guess I can see how that could work out but this is kinda pushing it Adults React- Are you kidding me!? It's just the original cast of teens react! What, Fine bros, couldn't let your original cash cows grow up and move on with their lives? Were their original reactions that amazing that you have to make adults react just to use them again? wow, pathetic! Parents React- Oh, hear that... Its the sound of no one giving a fuck as you have officially run the react train so far into the ground that I'm surprised anyone even watches this pointless trite anymore. Seriously? Fucking PARENTS REACT!? You already have adults react, what the fuck? Whats next, Fine bros? OHHHH how about Pets React! My reaction to Fine Bros trying to own reaction videos- Yeah good luck with that. This is about as stupid as when the makers of candy crush wanted to copyright the words, Candy, Crush, and Saga. Wait... This was a reaction post... Oh WELP I guess Imma get sued by the Fine Bros now!
  19. I live in Wisconsin? How do you think I'm doing? WINTERS HERE ARE LEGENDARILY BRUTAL. This year its actually not that bad, I mean yeah, we have a few inches of snow and been through a couple days of single digit/ below zero temperatures, but It could be worse. I heard about Winter storm Jonas and how D.C. and 10 northeastern states are under a state of emergency with New York City Suffering It's second worst winter storm in history. So i hope all those guys are all right.
  20. Here is a recap of the most.... anger inducing part of my journey through Equestria. >Start quest >Find pegasus >Go to hospital >Go back to pegasus >Get the location of a pony that I already knew where he was >Talk to pony >Gives me thing >Takes thing back to quest pony but its not the right thing >Go back to other Pony >Asks for right thing >Pony refuses to give me the right thing LIKE AN ASSHOLE >Pony FORCES me to find out into about the thing he gave me >Find another Pegasus, ask about thing >Find another unicorn, ask about thing >Find ANOTHER UNICORN, ask about thing >Find a pony who was raised by timberwolves, ask about thing >Go back to other unicorn, talk about thing >Go back to asshole pony >HE GAVE THE RIGHT THING BACK TO THE PEGASUS >Go to Pegasus AGAIN >She want to give thing to pony herself >Go back to quest pony >Quest pony wants me to try to move an event back (KILL ME) >FIND ANOTHER UNICORN, ASK ABOUT EVENT >FIND ANOTHER UNICORN, ASK ABOUT EVENT (I'm crying) >Talk to farmer pony about event >Tell quest pony event can't be moved >Quest pony demands me to get her thing >GO BACK TO THE CELESTIA DAMN PEGASUS and use the jaws of life to get the right thing from her >Go back to quest pony >Give her right thing >Quest ends I will forever have nightmares... of that quest In all seriousness, the game was fun. There were a bunch of sets from all these obscure brony DJ's I have never heard of.... cept for Garnika, Seventh Element, and Silvahound. Garnika had the best set with Silvahound coming in second, but really, If they are gonna do something like that they need to put in a dance club and stop holding all the raves at the bakery. I also got killed by a dragon.... That was a thing.
  21. From the video I just watched, this guy seems like a discount Pyrocynical or Leafyishere. He definitely cherry picked the most cringe worthy videos to comment on, this is full on clickbait. This is all to typical for me to take seriously anymore. Don't watch the actual show and judge the fandom, don't watch the fandoms great works like Lullaby For a Princess or Children Of The Night and judge the fandom. No, watch the shit videos made by the very niche over-obsessive part the fandom and judge a fanbase of over 10,000,000 people based on those videos alone. At least I Hate Everything watched the first episode of the show before decideing he still disliked it, which I can respect. There is also ADoseOfBuckly who watched Games Ponies Play and didn't like it, honestly he could have picked a better episode to watch, but my point is at least they gave the fandom a fair shot by sampling the actual show. People who sample a fandom based on the worst content it's fans can produce is basically asking for disappointment form the fandom you are focusing on. I feel that the fair way to decide whither you respect a fandom or not is look at the best it's fans can produce, or in the case of shows, the centerpiece of the fandom being the actual show. To me it's almost as if these people are afraid, they are afraid that they may actually find something they like if they sample the best of a fandom so they keep themselves in denial and only focus on the worst until they convince themselves that this is the way the fandom really is at it's core. I don't care that this guy doesn't like MLP but I will say he has not given the fandom a chance to impress him because he only sampled the worst of the worst. This would have been way better if this video was just him reacting to these videos without being judgmental of the fanbase, like what Leafyishere did when he reacted to that pony dating sim advertisement. Leave this person be and just let him keep the wool down over his eyes is my solution to this.
  22. 5. Princess Spike (Score 6.5/10) This episode made me cringe. I hate when MLP dose this, but seeing spike take advantage of his 'new role' the way he did was just stupid and cringey as hell to watch. 4. Three's a Crowd What About Discord (Score 6.4/10) Last time Discord forced a lesson on Twilight for the sake of forcing a lesson on her and filler, it sucked. This time when discord tried to force a lesson on twilight for sake of forcing a lesson on her and filler, it sucked a little less, but still sucked. 3. Appaloosa's Most Wanted (Score 6.0/10) I just really dislike this episode but I'm not sure why. I boiled it down to the CMC basically knowing way more about cutie marks than they should of, and I didn't like troubleshoes either. 2. Bloom and Gloom (Score 5.2/10) I wish Josh Haber would write more episodes like the cutie remark but on the other side you have his first episode of the season, Bloom and Gloom. Bloom and Gloom was just a pointless filler episode that I didn't like. I have pretty much the same issue with this episode that I had with Josh's very first episode, Castle Mane-ia, even though Castle Mane-ia was far worse. 1. The one where Pinkie Pie Knows (Score 4.8/10) More like the one where the writer completely gave up on the title. This episode is complete trash and I am surprised that G.M. Berrow had this as her first episode THIS TRASH! You wanna talk about the low point of season 5? Ok! How about we have an episode where Pinkie Pie, you know Pinkie Pie THE ONE WHO'S LIFE REVOLVES AROUND PLANNING PARTIES AND SURPRISE PARTIES. How about we have an episode where we write Pinkie Pie out of character for a full 22 minutes struggling to keep a secret even though sometimes keeping secrets is PART OF HER JOB. Why, because the plot demands it! A surprise that we are told what it is before the theme even plays making the episode LESS WATCHABLE. I mean seriously how do you fuck up on this scale?! Despite these episodes season 5 was my favorite season of MLP and I hope Season 6 turns out even better.
