School. I do a lot of thinking up "cool" ideas that I'll never realize. I'll just sit there staring off into the distance thinking up ideas for songs, videos, etc. Also, watching random YouTube videos. Usually analyzing/reviewing video games or other media. I have a computer, a Wii U and a 3DS, but I really don't play games on them all that often. It's really sad. I'll have to fix that. xD

Oh, man... I can't say I've ever seen you before... HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE? :L Anyways, even though I don;t really see you ever, you're a phoenix, so... 5/10 Hopefully I'll see more of you in the future. xD

So this episode felt really... Different... To me... At least in comparison to a lot of this season. Which is good! Different is good. Doing the same thing over and over won't work. I really got a fan-animation vibe from this episode, though, especially during the part where the CMC are in AB's room devising a plan for her to escape. The sheer amount of new assets (those faces :L) created for this episode was both odd and awesome. It was really funny when Applebloom is about to sing a song (not another musical...), and then Scoots shoves her hoof in AB's mouth and says there's not time. xD That's probably what saved this episode for me; the humor. Lots of funny stuff going on. I mentioned earlier that this felt like a fan-animation... That's partially because of how suddenly AJ switches from hesitantly leaving Applebloom on her own to HOLY COW SHE'S A TEENY BABEY CAN'T LET ATHING HAPEN 2 HER DUDEZ GOTTA (catch 'em all) STRAP A PILLOW ON DAT RAKE etc. etc... It was just very jarring to me for that transition to happen so fast. Eh, maybe I'm being too harsh. It was an enjoyable episode, just like all most of the episodes in this season so far. Just like the rest, it has its flaws, but that doesn't keep me from enjoying it. EDIT: Saw this amazing GIF...

9/10 VERY well done, and it looks quite professional. Only things that bother me are the pixelation on the corners and the color of Pinkie's outline is a bit un-saturated.

5/10 Don't really see you that often... :L

7/10

Eh, it doesn't crash all that often unless I leave it unattended for awhile. I really like FL Studio, and I feel like I know it pretty well. If I had the full version, I could stop worrying about crashes... So yeah, I don't really want or need to switch programs, but thanks for the suggestions! I listened to those three songs, so here's my opinions: Snow Mixed With Rain: WOW that was cool! Really cool and driving beat with an interesting melody to boot! Only thing I would recommend is to add a bassline to the background so that there aren't any tone-less parts where it's just drums. The beat is really cool, but I'd like it better with some bass in there. The Spacefarer: This one started off really epic and profound (is that the right word? I dunno...). I really love me some epic chords. :3 There's lots of different sections of the song, which I really like! I love key changes, beat changes, timing changes... All that stuff! (speaking of which, there's a song called "Music With Different Parts" that does that a lot as well. It's really cool. :3) So yeah, I really enjoyed this one as well. And, this is more of an opinion, but I really like it when songs kinda end abruptly (not like unexpectedly, but the sound cuts straight off at the end), so it'd be cool to hear this song with a more abrupt ending. Panic Attack: Even though it is just a remix, I know it takes quite some skill to work with FamiTracker (at least it was difficult for me ;_, as well as transcribing music in general, especially fast-paced music such as this. I love 8-bit music, as well. All in all, those were some really cool songs. I kinda prefer more different/melodic music, but that doesn't change the fact that these are some really well-made songs.

7/10 It looks like a pretty noice siggy at first glance, but when you get up close, you can see that the background is squished, which is something I really can't stand in graphics design. Squished stuff. xD It also seems a tad awkward that Twilight and her books are hovering in the air, and there's no room above her head. But hey, like I said, the overall look of it is pretty good, there's just some framing issues and such. :3

Thanks! Yeah, it would be more interesting if it had more than one "key" in it, I guess. I tend to not spend a ton of time on my songs due to me only having the trial version of FL Studio and the fear of it crashing and losing everything (this song probably took like 3 or 4 hours), and that ends up not giving me enough time to think of stuff to add. I think I just need to spend more time on my music to saturate it with all my ideas. And yeah, I'd love to hear some of your work!

Thanks, guys! Any suggestions for improvements, though? :3

xD I'm not the master by any means... But I'll give you my opinion. The image itself is a good size, but the text underneath really makes it quite a large sig line. If there's any bit of text that wouldn't have to be there, or if you could widen and shorten it somehow... Then it'd be great. I feel so weird giving advice like this...

9/10 IT'S BEAUTIFUL... ;A;

I THINK I GOT THIS ONE! Dark Quivit? (Did I even spell it right? D: I haven't seen him for a while...) This user was my main inspiration for graphics design and nearly left the forums a while back. He also likes Cheerilee.

Hi guys! Well, I thought I'd do some shameless self-promotion here and get you guys' opinions of mah new song... It's not the most interesting or engaging, perhaps, but still. It was probably inspired by Aquatic Ambience from Donkey Kong Country somehow, but don't let that make you think it'll be near as good. xD So yeah, here it is... Underwater Mountaintops... So what's your opinion on both this song and chill-out music in general?

Soooo... This episode was kinda meh for me. It didn't really mean much, and it just felt like (yet again) the main characters doing some random entertaining stuff. Although, the breezies were pretty interesting, and they kept the episode from overloading on the mane 6. That being said... The breezies' design is so. STINKING. CUTE!!!1!!111!1!!1!!!1!!11!!!!!one I loved the look of the breezies, and the Scottish accent, while a little odd, made them quite fun to listen to. So yeah, this episode, for me, really didn't mean anything; it was just another showcase of characters with the added bonus of the cute little breezies. The moral kinda confused me, as Fluttershy kept flip-flopping between saying you should be nice and then that you should be stern. Eh, I'll probably change my opinion when I watch some analysis videos. The part where she's like, "sometimes being too nice isn't really being nice" (or something along those lines) was interesting to me, though. As a graphics designer (sorta), I can say that it's better for the requester to speak their mind and criticize the request than to lie about loving it. xD Being too nice won't help anybody. You'll end up with a mediocre request, and the designer won't get any better. Dat ramble, tho. Overall, I think I'll give this episode... 7/10. Enjoyable, but not great.

Ah, I see you centered it! I can't believe I forgot about that... Sig lines are almost always better when centered in my opinion. :3 Yep, it looks much more clean and tidy now. Only thing I can really suggest is that you make the image a bit shorter and wider, but that's just opinion and artistic preference. But anyways, 8/10 cuz centering is magic!
