    Well, the final round of the Sydney cup is coming up. the good news is, my favourite driver (David Reynolds) has just received his 2nd dose and he will be able to participate. :mlp_laugh: F*CK YEAH!!! :sneer:

    JQ8wSzL.jpg

    I was a lil worried bout this, ‘cuz the replacement they had for the bathurst 1000 was…chris van de drift. Yeah, that would’ve been a piss-weak combination for the great race if davey was unable to get his 2nd dose. (Yeah, he was absent in the last two events at eastern creek). At this point, this is preparation for the bathurst 1000. Now, I can say these guys are in with a shot to win the bathurst 1000 in two weeks time.

    According to Speedcafe.com, he was supposed to get / receive his 2nd dose prior to the Bathurst 1000. The fact that he’ll be able to compete this weekend is just the icing on the cake. :ticking:

    ...and when ya consider his co-driver (Luke Youlden) has already had two rounds under his belt, he’s already got an edge over the other co-drivers. (…and what’s funny is, there’s a co-driver session this Friday. It’ll be interesting where he ends up in that session) These guys WON the Bathurst 1000 in 2017, and I have NO doubt in my mind they’re gonna take it up to the heavyweights. :sneer:

    Well, I had a pretty good weekend. ^^ I just came back from the race-track and I'm SO pumped to see Anton De Pasquale get his 5th win of the year. :ticking:
    Link: https://www.supercars.com/news/championship/de-pasquale-matches-mclaughlins-smsp-haul-race-26-takeaways/

    he had a REALLY good start off the line. Whincup (who was alongside him on the front row) did not. he would pit on lap 16 and put on 4 tyres instead of two. when he came back out, whincup popped out in front of him and held him up a little bit. normally, when a red bull car gets in front of ya, it's game over, but no. he got past them like it was nothing. (I tell ya, Shell V power made the right call to put on 4 tyres. they could've put on two to gain track position, but then they wouldnt have the fire-power to fight back, so they burnt some time in the pits to put on 4 tyres and it ultimately paid off BIG TIME!!!) Van Gisbergen would pit a lap later and he too would get in front of Anton De Pasquale, but he managed to get past him on the same spot he got past Jaimie. To see a Shell V power car over-take not one, but BOTH of the red bull cars is SO satisfying. (Although, I'd like to think the two red bull cars squabbling over each for each-other for the first couple of laps played a part in this) That has got to be one of the best drives I've ever seen from Anton De Pasquale. he pulled off something 'scotty' couldnt. he absolutely kicked their arses. he was fastest in practice, fastest in qualifying and he won the race. F*CK YEAH!!! THAT's what I want to see!!! :sneer:

    Seriously, if he can keep this up when we get to bathurst, he's gonna win, for sure. it's a shame it took him this long to get used to the Shell V Power Mustang. oh well, with the pace that he's got, he's in a good position to WIN the bathurst 1000 ^^ I had a feeling he'd leave them in the dust. :mlp_smug: If he can make it a clean sweep tomorrow, I'll be one happy camper :catface: I'll upload the start of the race a bit later on my youtube channel. I tell ya, that was a BLOODY good performance from Anton De Pasquale. they picked the right guy to replace 'scotty' McLaughlin. he's truly unlocked his potential ^^

    It always annoys me whenever I watch an anime that has a medieval setting, or fantasy, post-apocalyptic or a WWII style setting and there's multiple episodes dedicated to seeing the main girls in modern day bikinis. Look I'm all for fanservice but if there's one way take you out of a story it's that

    The very least you could do is keep it to promo content or non-canon OVAs

    How goes it, my crowd? :toldya:

    I am currently in the middle of changing things up for November. I plan on making a Thanksgiving-themed banner and avatar. The avatar I have right now is just a place-holder. (I also hope @TheRockARooster and @SolarFlare13 enjoyed my Halloween banner, which I still have up right now, since it has Goji in it.) :squee:

    And today was a good Dia De Los Muertos for me. Not exactly how I wanted to celebrate it, but at least I got to remember those who are no longer with us, and that is the most important part. That and playing "Day of the Dead" by Voltaire. Can't celebrate without that. :orly:

    Take care, my crowd. B)

    Well, I got me 2nd dose. This time, I didnt feel a thing. (probably because I had a female / Nurse. the last time, I had a male / Doctor and it could still feel the bloody needle) :scoots: it was a lot better than the first. (...and I only had to wait for 5 mins. last time, I had to wait for 30 mins!!! :unamused:) Now all I gotta do is set up a couple of things, (to verify that I'm fully vaccinated) and then I'll be able to go anywhere. :laugh: I'm just happy that I got this out of the way. :eager: Now, I can get a haircut (FINALLY!!! Yeah, I need to get this done ASAP) :awwthanks:, get tickets for the Sydney SuperNight, go 'n buy some DVD's, 'n other stuff. :mlp_icwudt:

    For those of you who are interested, there's a halloween update on Legends Of Equestria. :laugh: in this update, they have three pumpkin lanterns for you to collect. the only way you can get these lanterns is to chat to all the ponies that are wearing a pirate hat. (they give you candy) yep, you can only buy these lanterns with candy, NOT bits. :derp:

    Link: https://legendsofequestria.fandom.com/wiki/Hallowtide_Candy_Quest

    it's basically trick-or-treating. :mlp_icwudt: I already got one of them :squee:

    ev0tmvW.png

    (once I get all the pumpkin lanterns, I think I'll dress up. :laugh: should I dress up as a ghost or as a vampire? decisions, decisions...) :dash:

    there has been a number of changes. first off, the game only takes a couple of seconds to load, (It used to take 1 MINUTE AND 30 SECONDS. Yeah, it was borderline un-playable. I'm SO glad they fixed that) :bea: the place is COVERED in pumpkins and at night, just bout every area is covered in fog to make it more spoopy :derp: yeah, they put A LOT of effort in this update. :squee:

    Y'know, I should really get a small, glass cabinet to store all of my expensive figurines / diecast models. it's bout time. I'm running out of space downstairs. I know I cant keep my Guardians Of Harmony figurines in a plastic bag. that is something I'll need to organise with my dad once we get out of this lock-down. :awwthanks: ^^ Most of the stuff I got is priceless and I have an idea of what I'd like to have on display :laugh: (S.H. MonsterArts / Godzilla figures, Transformers, Star Wars Black Series figures. MLP Merchandise, etc.)

    at the moment, I dont have any space for my 1:18 scale models, and that's a problem. If I were to go to eastern creek and buy a 1:18 scale model, I wouldn't have a place to store it. (...and I already have a wish list the next time I go to Eastern Creek.) :derp:

    Hey every-pony. Sorry if I havent posted anything in the last couple of days. Let’s just say I did not have a fun time watching the MLP movie. (the one that just came out a couple of days ago) I mean, it's okay. there's just some stuff in it that I...dont like.

     

    If you wanna hear MY thoughts bout the MLP movie, well...it aint gonna be pretty. I've kept it under a spoiler tag for those of you who wanna see it. :rarity: I just need to get this out of my head. I cant think straight. 

    Spoiler

    If you were expecting a positive review of the MLP Movie, yeah. this is not for you. 

    So, you're probably wondering: is this better than the MLP Movie from 2017? and the answer is...no. If anything, it made that movie look like a masterpiece. If I were to compare this movie, it'd be comparison between Pokemon Diamond and Pearl to Pokemon Sword and Shield. (we were promised that this movie would be made for the bronies. Not only that, it was rated PG. instead, it was made for the younger viewers, just like how they promised pokemon sword and shield would be made for the older gamers, in mind, but it failed to deliver by cutting out the national dex and other things we wanted...)

    (some would argue that the journey to the south of equestria to go and find the Hippogryph's was completely pointless considering they failed to get the pearl, but the one thing it provides is world building. we get to see more of the world of equestria and unlike MLP: A New Generation, it has a plot.)

    As for MLP: A New Generation, they spend the 12 min being racist towards each-other, gives NO explanation as to why they broke up and why they are un-friendly towards each-other, (hopefully, we'll get an answer to that in the series. it kinda reminds me of Star Wars: The Last Jedi where Kylo Ren said: Let the past die. kill it.) Izzy comes along, go to the middle of nowhere, gets captured by the pegasi, finds out bout these magic crystals that can bring them all together (yeah, it doesnt really have a plot 'til half-way through the movie), then we head to Izzy's home, have a pointless dance-off when they could've said one of the forbidden words to get the "last" crystal, of course, there is a third crystal and it doesnt work and the last one just so happens to be back at her place, feels bad that it doesnt work, has a confrontation with Sprout, (who has gone insane), Sunny tells them to stop spreading misinformation / lies bout each-other, they put their differences aside and then...boom. instant alicorn status!!! 

    (the significance of these crystals came out of nowhere and I thought it was a bit half-arsed that they crammed it in half-way in the film. As for FIM, they explained the significance of the Elements Of Harmony right at the VERY start of the series)  

    ...and much like starlight at the end of season 5, sprout does not get punished for his actions. Although, someone on the MLP Forums made a REALLY good point that most of the blame should be directed towards the mother, and I agree. she was the one who turned him into a spoiled brat. I mean, yes, she realises her mistake half-way through the film, but it's still her fault. I honestly would like to know where the hell were the Windigo's when they separated, considering this supposed to share continuity with FIM. yeah, this movie has A LOT of flaws. The first 12 mins of the movie was REALLY hard to watch. if I was watching it by myself, I probably would've stopped watching it. 

    There were a lot of moments in the movie that made me cringe. I'm sure you can point them out. :lie:

    The one thing bout this movie that really rubs me the wrong way is how it promotes racism... (yeah, not a good start hasbro. Imagine if this was your introduction to My Little Pony O.O) ...and the use of technology. While some would consider this as a brand new, fresh idea for the franchise, it just doesnt fit, especially in a fictional world full of talking ponies.   

    Before I started watching MLP: A New Generation, I said that I wasnt gonna compare it to FIM, but because it's in the same continuity as FIM, it left me with no other choice. 

    If there was one thing I DID like bout the movie, it's Izzy. she's basically the Unicorn version of Pinkie Pie. she was the only one out of the mane 5 (other than sunny) to have a personality. other for the other three? well, hitch just wanted to take sunny back home, and the two pegasi barely got any time in the spotlight. Honestly, I thought I was gonna HATE the animation more than the movie. turns out, it's was okay. I didnt think it was half-bad. the one thing that bugs me is that it shows that it can be good. it has potential. it's just...there's A LOT of flaws, and it sticks out like a sore thumb.  

    ...and another thing I dont like is how the unicorns became the lowest form of scum. I mean, take a look at the earth ponies and the pegasi. they live in a high-class, well developed town / city, whereas the unicorns live in the forest. if you take a look at FIM, the living standard for the EUP was equal. honestly, it makes me appreciate FIM even more. maybe I'm being a tad over-dramatic, but / As a unicorn, that really bugs the hell out of me. :lie: 


    Overall, it's a disappointing start to a new generation. (Well, at least IMO it is) Hopefully, they'll go back and fix their mistakes when they start working on the series.  

    *sighs* yeah, I was pretty disappointed. I know I'll probably cop a lot of flack from this, but this is just my opinion. :awwthanks: would I go back and re-watch this movie? ehh...not really. Maybe I'm being a lil too harsh / over-dramatic, it's just that I have high expectations. I care bout the show / franchise and I want this to succeed. :rarity:

    On a more positive note, here. have a cute picture of Izzy :catface:

    Hey every-pony ^^ how are we all doing today? :3 I'm just trying to avoid spoilers for the movie. I'm planning to watch it with a couple of my friends on Discord. so yeah, if you guys have seen it, please dont spoil it for me :rarity: I'll let you guys know when I've seen it, and when I'm ready to give my opinion bout the movie, I'll put it under a spoiler tag, so i dont spoil it for anyone else :) ...but yeah, it's...something I need to see.
