  1. I don't really know what to think about this whole Disney business. I mean, Disney has brought us some pretty great things...and then there are things that they didn't do so well with *Cough*Disneychannel*cough* I only say that becuase of how God awful the shows on Disney Channel are now, I will still get down with some Kim Possible, or Boy meets world when it's on (Which is usually never on DC anymore). With them buying out everyone, perhaps things will change, perhaps not. Unrelated, Gamestop is considering trying to buy out STEAM, from what I hear..
  2. I was the first in my city to buy the Rainbow Dash Vinyl figure. Hot topic has JUST gotten them in stock, and had not even shelved them yet.
  3. http://www.newground...o/listen/506904 http://soundcloud.com/the-hoovy-spy/star-gazin-instrumental-wip This is my song so far, nearly done as far as the instrumental goes, finalizing lyrics tomorrow, I'm too tired to go on! Let me know what you think!
  4. I understand he is more complex than that, no character is as two-dimensional as I described, I was paraphrasing my opinion. Most superheros that are bullet-proof I don't like. Batman, Spiderman, are two superhero's that I like (favorite of their franchise) for the fact that they can die from a shot to the face, because it makes them being in danger more gripping. I'm not sure how using your main skills (Twilight's science, and magic) is the same as complaining about a character who has any power that could ever be used ever.
  5. Another reason I don't like the movies, it's like the writers watched someone play the game while reading a book, and half payed attention, leading to stupid endings like that Wesker could give a shit less about the human race in RE5, in fact he wants to essentially destroy it and make way for the 'chosen' by ouroboros.
  6. There are certainly points where the story begins to contradict it'self, but early games like RE1 and 2 were not really prepared for a story after it it seems.
  7. Did you play through all the games? Because I don't know about anyone else, but the entire Progenorator virus background was a better story than most things I've ever played/watched. The deception within Umbrella, and the outward revival of it through "Tricell" I will say the first two games, and possibly the third are very hard to call stories, since the endings all change depending on how you complete the game, but at around Code Veronica, they seem to start focusing on story, and I like what they have so far. 6 actually looks good to me.
  8. I would say the first movie could actually fit into the cannon game story, but the second started to drift, then the third jumped the shark, then stabbed it's children.
  9. As is the case with most video game movies, there is almost always something to make them bad. For instance http://en.wikipedia....gend_of_Chun-Li I Shouldn't need to tell you why this movie is horrible. The actors do not portray the characters even remotely close (this is what Chun Li looks like in the movie http://en.wikipedia....i/Kristen_Kreuk) and beyond that the story was just boring. I know it's pretty hard to make a movie from a 2-d fighting game like Street Fighter, which has a limited story as it is, but if you're going to make a movie about an asian woman named "Chun Li" maybe you should actually make her...oh I don't know...Asian. But this thread isn't about Street Fighter, so I won't throw my flaming butthurt in that direction. The Resident Evil Movies, are in my opinion, somewhat decent stories on their own, but it's when they rip things straight from the games (Wesker's sunglasses throwing as an example) I get really jimmy rustled. I feel as though the movies use those ripped scenes as a way to say "Yes we have nothing to do with the game's story line, but here, have a scene you've already watched if you played the games" As stupid and childish as it's sounds of me to complain about such minute things like that, it honestly makes me angry. Now a bit of backstory as to why I don't like the movies. I started with the movies actually, when I was about 5 my step dad played Resident Evil 2 a lot, and I would watch him, but I never played a single Resident Evil game all the way through until I was 13, but I had watched the movies, and became obsessed with the franchise. Upon playing the games (at this point the third movie had been out for months) I realized how much more I liked the games, the story line (while certainly not solid by it's own means) was so much more interesting than Mila Jonavich running around pretending to have psychic powers. The movies try to give fans a wink every now and again by throwing in characters like Chris Redfield, Claire, Jill Valentine, and Wekser, but the actors that portray them don't do it for me, but then again, this is a video game we're talking about here, I can't expect real life actors to look, and sound just like the digitally made characters. It's the fact they don't even act like them is what bothers me. Mila Jonavich's character Alice, is honestly one of my least favorite characters ever. Her 'powers' given to her by the T-virus are not even remotely conclusive to what the virus does in the games (Not even Wesker gets psychic powers from his advanced augmentation) and Mila Jonavich is just unattractive to me period, so there's that. Her character's progression in the story is kind of nice I will admit. It's the clone army part that really makes me set down my pop-corn and go "Oh...well that's cool...I guess?" The physics of the third movie movie is what originally started making me question things. "Ocean receded, Rivers dried up" How did that happen? Most people I've asked use the T-virus as an excuse, but Viruses don't attack non-living things like water, so the water had to go somewhere, Matter can not be created or destroyed, it has to go somewhere. I'll admit I'm more than stubborn in my opinion of the franchise, but I'm almost certain someone on here will end up making me rethink that. What are your opinions, why do you feel the way you do about it? SIDE THREAD QUESTION: On the note of RE games, The "Survival Horror" part seems to just ease it's way out gradually, and then stop at 5 and O.R.C. I understand the first games can be annoying to people who start with the later ones, but I started with the classic annoying ass camera angles, and stupid controls, so maybe my stubborn nostalgia keeps me from thinking those games are boring, but do you think the later games are more fun? I can say reluctantly that 5 is more fun than 2,3, or CVX
  10. These people are examples of "Ponyfags" and I don't care for them, they are the kind of guys that give this fandom a bad name, and it's plain sad. Because of people like this that make me sad to be a brony.
  11. I feel this is the truth for many in the fanebase. I am still a bit fan of the show, but the brony community has changed a lot. There are many bronies who give the fanebase a bad name (AKA ponyfags) who go around and shove ponies in everyone's face, I am also not a big fan of Fanfics, or most fan art, I don't get into Clopping, I don't get into half the music, Odd enough I started making music because of ponies, but I don't get into most of the remixes, or even most of the parodies anymore, I felt like I was losing the love I had for the show, but it just turns out the fandom is what I'm loosing love for, Don't get me wrong, I still hold a lot of things I learned from the show to heart, but Things have just changed a bit.
  12. I think she won't fly anytime within the next season, or maybe even the show, he not being able to fly does add depth to her character, and makes it so she has something to strive for, or has a secret to be sort of ashamed of.
  13. I don't think he has a reason to, and I feel like bringing him back would be to much of a pandering notion to the brony community, which I'm really hoping they don't do too much of in season 3.
  14. Would love to add these to my collection. I would probably never use them though, they appear too small. I would still love to have them.
  15. I wear my Rainbow Dash shades, and Brony Belt, and on occasion I wear my Brony T-shirt, though that is not as often. I also wear my Sorain hoodie everyday, though I do not put the hood up though, I just don't like to, though the ears are a nice touch! I am not the kind of brony who goes around and shoves Ponies into everyone's face, but I will show my support for the Fandom.
  16. When I was fresh to the Brony scene, I thought about them constantly, and when I stopped thinking about them as much I got sort of depressed because I wanted to like them, and I felt if I didn't think about them at all times it was like I lost the feeling. I understand now that feeling was just the fact that Ponies were something new to me, so I had so much to learn. It's the same way with Mass Effect now, I will eventually lose the novelty feeling for Mass Effect, but I might as well just enjoy the feeling while it lasts, I still love ponies, but just not as obsessively as before.
  17. My option isn't stated, I just wait until it's on youtube, mostly because I don't ever have the time to watch it in the mornings, I love it very much, but I just never get time, so I download the MP4 from youtube...seeing as Megaupload is down forever... :'(
  18. Rice milk, Almond Milk, goat's milk...etc these are all good liquids to go with anything. Goat's milk is fantastic... Goat's milk cheese is far superior to the weak, bland flavor of cows milk cheese.
  19. This is actually a hard question [ I love most of them equally, except Silver Spoon, and Diamond Tiara, because quite frankly F*ck those two. I feel each is the best in their own way. Applejack is not always honest, even though that's her element, but she is a good foil for Rarity, and in many cases, Rainbow Dash. I feel Rarity is a good character, because she brings a ton of femininity to the show (imagine that...in mlp) her attitude, and general way of doing things is very business like, and elegant. Fluttershy brings the most Femininity to the show, with her timid nature, and generally happy demeanor. She gives the fans someone to relate to in many cases, and I can admit to being cripplingly shy, but I've started to rid myself of that. She is always kind (except when she triest to be more assertive thanks to a minotaur's lessons) Rainbow Dash brings the tomboyishness to the show, and I enjoy her antics, even though she is boastful, and often times deluded, she CAN do a Sonic Rainboon, so she has some bragging room. Her house is pretty awesome, and her color scheme is very pleasing to the eye. Also, DAT MANE, it's the best in the show in my opinion, not sure why... Twilight brings the nerdyness to the show, and I love her for her smarts, and her ability to try to think rationally...ok that's a lie, because she's shown on many occasions she over reacts badly, and maybe that's what I like about her, the fact that she goes off the handles when she gets stressed out... Pinkie is just a party animal, and I love her for her constant up in your face, attitude, like she just wants to make everyone "Smile Smile Smile" so I love that quality. That being said my favorite Character is Zecora, because she's the mysterious medicine zebra out in the woods who can fix most problems...
  20. It depends where you get your milk from. First of all, a human's ability to drink another creatures bodily fluids, is thanks to a mutation. We're not really supposed to be drinking other creature's milk, as it is natural for us to drink human breast milk, though I doubt anyone will be bottling that anytime soon.... But since these days an average person can drink cow's milk, it certainly has some good minerals we could use. Where you get it from though, can change whether or not it's good. Raw milk? Totally great for you! Though it has risks, unpasteurized milk can contain bacteria, or other pathogens your body may not process, and get you sick, but this is not to say all 'good' milk is unpasteurized, but taking a look at the establishments that do pasteurize their milk, makes me never want to drink it. First off, the cows just stand there...in shit...all day, with no relief, This is not to say that ALL milk farms do this, but most of the major American ones do. The cow gets a nice genetically modified corn diet, and usually dies from infections, so I don't think I want to be drinking anything coming out of an Infected animal...boiled or otherwise
  21. I honestly love Zecora the most, I think she could use some more time, but I understand that the show is mainly about Twilight, and the other Mane 6, so I don't get too off about it. I also really love Cheerilee... Lol edited because of jacked up english
  22. Seeing as RD lives in a cloud, I would imagine it'd be hard for a tortoise to get up there, but the steampunk style jetpack helicopter (The Awesomecopter as I call it) seems to help him, but it can't possibly run forever...
  23. I understand you mean well, but saying things like "People only turn gay if they get brain dammage, or get really depressed" sounds extremely misinformed, I for one (being a Bi-sexual male) have not had anything happen that caused brain dammage, or been really depressed, in the words of Lady Gaga " " I agree that people should not react to bullies, but when members of our fandom act obnoxiously, or incorrectly assume everyone who dislikes us is either stupid, or wrong, gets us even more flak.
  24. She isn't because the pony world is just as cruel as ours, and refuses to give her what she dreams... In all seriousness, I think it would be because she needs to stay in ponyville, rather than running off to go to canterlot. Also maybe it would be unfair for her to be one? Maybe it's because of her ability to do a rainboon, that scares them, and makes them think she would outshine them?
  25. All in all, I've watched both seasons a total of about 8.5 times. I say .5 because I have watched half of the first season recently. But if I were to be asked how many times I watched the show, counting the French dub, then about 9.5....
