The Mane-iac

Samus Aran (Metroid). What I wouldn't give for that Power Suit. Garrus (Mass Effect) and Lightning (Final Fantasy XIII) round out my top 3 I think.

I voted Apple and Android (shouldn't that be iOS and Android?) since I could and I have both an iPhone 4S and a Galaxy Note 2. The 4S is purely my iPod (though TBH lately I've been using my Zune 80 again because I am so sick of how bad iTunes is, I use an app on the 4S anyways that mimics the Zune UI so...). I like stuff about both systems but I prefer Android after using it for the past year. There was a time iOS was vastly supirior, then Google introduced Project Butter to Android and it became a whole new OS compared to past iterations. Both phones are unlocked and "rooted" so I can basically install whatever I want on them, but I like the freedom of Android and being able to hook it up to my PC and not be restricted to a special program that I have to do everything through. I also hate the severe limitation imposed on iOS, especially simple things like how many apps you can place in a folder and such. I honestly prefer Samsung's UI over iOS as well. iOS 7 doesn't really change things up enough if you ask me, looks like the same ol thing just with different colors and flat looking icons (from what I've seen anyways, won't be upgrading my 4S to it since I want to remain jailbroken if I even keep the thing much longer). An SD slot is also a must for me. My 4S is a 64gb one and I have it full from just music, and it's not even close to being all my music. There are wireless usb sticks now that could allow storage expanse with an Apple product, but I prefer just being able to pop a card into the phone. Especially since they are smaller, don't require charging, and you could carry like 16 of them in a case the size of the usb stick. The only real gripe I have with Android isn't really about Android at all, it's about app developers. They focus on iOS first and foremost, and some apps either take months to come to Android, are super buggy/laggy when they finally do (Gameloft MLP I'm looking at you since you're still laggy compared to iOS version even on my OP Note 2), or just plain and simply don't show up on Android. Really wish they could force users to upgrade to the newest version so developers wouldn't have to cater to older OS's and hinder app stability/performance. But it could be worse I suppose... WP8 with very few top apps making it or not showing up until a year later or so. I could go on but I won't. All I'll say in closing is that after owning the Note 2 for the past year, there is no way I could use an iPhone until the screen gets much bigger. My 4S feels way too small and painful to hold onto (great for a pocket-able media player but not a phone), and when I was comparing the Note 2 to the iPhone 5 last year that was my biggest complaint and why I ultimately passed up the 5. Plus playing games like MLP is awesome with the large screen, not even the little bit of added height on the 5 could compare. And no, I don't have any issues sticking the Note 2 in my pocket...

Yup, nail hit square on the head. Bravo.

Standard game price for a console, not surprised. This I don't agree with anymore. This is the only reason I no longer play WoW and have moved onto better games anyways such as GW2 or TERA. Not surprising to see these in the game. So long as they are not "Pay to Win" I don't care. Even WoW is gaining an in-game micro-transaction store soon (already on the PTR). Not surprising either since I think every game that requires true online play has required these. I can't say for sure though since I only play these types of games on a PC where it is free and the controls are more manageable, but I know XBOX is this way at least. I might still get it, but if the monthly fee doesn't get dropped I doubt I'll play for long. I just can't justify it when GW2, TERA, and basically every other MMO released within the last five years have gone FTP or always were. Still looks amazing though and still very hyped to actually see an online Elder Scrolls which is something I've been wanting since my time playing Morrowind. I just wish they would fix Argonians and Khajiit to actually have beast legs again rather than just being re-skinned humans with a tail.

Ultimate Doom for sure. Followed by Duke Nukem 3D. I grew up playing them when they first came out, and still play them to this day. Doom more than Duke though. I have the poster on my wall and all four novels which are very very good, the first one basically follows the game exactly but really fleshes it out. Also love the first Red Faction, Bioshock Infinite, Half-Life series, and the Metroid Prime trilogy. Not too many else come to mind since they were either just an okay game to play through once, over the shoulder 3rd person, or not very creative/repetitive when the series is looked at as a whole. Also most others tend to focus on making the online/multiplayer aspect first and foremost anymore, I prefer single player. I even play my MMOs solo for the most part. Call me weird, I'm used to it.

Opinions. That is the only reason flame wars happen about what is the better console. I own basically every system ever made with the exception of a few Sega ones (including handhelds) as well as a custom built top end PC and I enjoy them all for different reasons. I don't yet have a Vita to replace my PSP1000 or a 3DS to replace my original DS since I've yet to see a game for either that truly interests me. If one ever comes out for either then I will get them. Same goes for the PS4 and XBOX 1, I need to see a game come out that I have to have before I'll spend the kind of money systems cost anymore. I spend most of my time gaming on the PC anymore though since exclusives that I actually care about are becoming few and far and games that actually take advantage of better PC hardware are always superior looking. I just also prefer the input of mouse and keyboard over a controller for the majority of all games. If there is a PS only game, I play it. XBOX only game? Guess what, I play that too. A game that comes out on XBOX, PS, and PC? I go for the PC version. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and because of that I refuse to join the flaming that takes place usually. I'll play what I like, I'll use whatever smartphone I decide is the best for what I want, etc. and no one else's opinions will change mine if I'm looking at things from a logical "what fills my needs best" perspective.

That's awesome. Personally the "B" is my favorite and I wish I could find a good model of it (though even if I did I don't have the patience to paint), but "D" is for sure in my top 5 favorite Star Trek ships. Would love to have the model of it on Thinkgeek that splits apart.

On the computer: Razer Megalodon headset for when I'm using Vent or gaming at night, the 7.1 is a plus and works pretty well in most games. MP3s and such: Razer Orca headphones with leather cushions when I want to listen to music or whatever and need to hear what is going on around me. Zagg SmartBuds for when I don't need to hear whats going on around me. Crappy Apple earbuds when at work or in busy public areas because I don't care if they get lost, damaged, or stolen. Would really like to replace the Orcas with something more DJ style with the big durable coil cord, but I'll survive till they die. They way I treat my electronics though they will still be working long after I pass.

Only way that could be better is if it were Chrysalis, though NMM goes much better with the colors in my room. It's all black, blue, and white. XD Shame I've not been super active lately because of health, your other pics were great. That cloudsdale was crazy intricate, and you just can't beat fluffle puff derpy.

I like the sound of them all, the first being my particular favorite even though Luna and Scoots are two of my favorite ponies. I would have the stallion in the first story befriend Rarity though since her and Flutters have been shown as close friends, going to the spa weekly and such.
