    I'm saying, only those as skilled and magnificent as The Great and Powerful Trixie can perform real magic! All you will ever be able to achieve are little pony tricks, like giving people mustaches!

    I'm pretty sure I could be the official bearer of all the elements (if magic were real of course). I pride myself on my honesty and loyalty, there is very little I hate more than a liar or a cheat. I'm much too altruistic for my own good, so that covers generosity and kindness I would say. Laughter for me is just something I do naturally without even trying. I'm just a big 'ol goof and enjoy making people laugh. We're all only human though, so our "dark sides" are more prone to showing without the help of Discord. I just try to keep mine in check by being myself, doing what I love, and not letting the little things bother me.

    Wow, I think I am so done with this app. Things about it have irked me since I first downloaded it, but this is just the last straw that makes it completely not worth it imho. I have been so busy lately that I have not been able to play and upon logging in just now I feel as though I have been punished for taking a break. There was not a single spot left open that didn't have a giant rock, parasprite swarm, angry tree, bramble, or other trash item taking up space. I have played many of these type of games before, and not once have I ever felt like I was seriously being punished because life comes before something that should just be a time killer. Most of these games normally seem to just pause when you are away, other than buildings still getting built. I'm fine with parasprites popping up and stuff, but the rate at which they do with how much things cost to get rid of is not cool at all. Even with cheating and having gobs of bits and gems I can't get rid of everything because the rocks cost 16000 each to get rid of and the parasprites are mostly stupid magic ones. Something pony related should not aggravate me this much. Until GL changes their business model with this app and fixes all the still present bugs in the Android version, I'm done playing. I can't even gift everypony yet without the game crashing on me.

    ^THIS. This a million times plus one. Tranny option is just preference for the most part with modern stuff, if you drive a 40yr old beast like me then the manual can net you a small gain in mpg if you play it right. Or if you feel you absolutely need to light up the tires, but I've been able to do that with autos. Also, something to note if you are in the states, insurance companies do not like modified cars, especially ones in the "ricer" category. And from my past experience (I used to own an Eagle Talon TSi AWD and BMW M3) they want to know about modifications otherwise if you get in a wreck, your fault or not, it can come bite you in the rear for not telling them. As-in they are not going to cover those parts in their estimates. This is what I was told by my insurance guy anyways when I first got the Talon, whether true or not I wouldn't know since I've never even been pulled over.

    lol Niiice... I think that might be Pinkie on the other side of that vertical "pillar". Both front legs up in a cheer pose, trying to break the forth wall and pop out of the calendar. Find Applejack and we know it is the truth then.

    I'd be up for doing a little trade. I've not drawn for quite some time, but a little (pony) inspiration goes a long way. It would also give me something to do on my nights off from work since I'm usually pretty bored. Your work is pretty great, love the techno mixes (especially Silverite's Theme so far). Here are some examples of my past work, even if most are several or more years old (7+). You can tell where I rushed on a few of the images as I was getting bored, and a few were just "doodles" I did during study halls back in school. I keep saying I'll redo/touch-up stuff I still have one of these days, but you know how that goes... If you were to pick me I would like something techno atmosphere-y akin to this: Those fit the ice and snow of the environment they represent, having something along the same lines but dealing with rain (not dreary though) for my OC would totally rock. Phendrana Drifts was my favorite in that game, and the music there played a huge part in why I liked it. I use to stand around and idle just for the music. Thanks for the opportunity, good luck everypony!

    The Crusades, Old West, 14th-18th centuries (The Renaissance/American Revolution/Victorian Era), or 1950's. Things just were so interesting in these periods of time, a lot of big changes and advances developed in these times. Everyone did their own work and were not addicted to tv or sitting around on facebook. The Old West and '50s would be fun, but I would probably fit in better during the 14th-18th centuries (Revolutionary times being my top choice I suppose). I've often wished I could just grab some money and pop back in time, even if I had to stay there, modern times aggravate me too much anymore. Giving up the tech would be rough at first, but I would bet I'd get over it fairly quick once I found my place in the past. I ever run into an Angel, I'm going to blink...

    Not surprising considering the weak specs for the Optimus Logic (Dynamic). The game runs kind of slow on my Nexus 7, and can down-right get laggy with too many ponies, bits, and other things going on. It is a lot smoother on my iPhone 4S and Galaxy Note 2. I'm positive the game could be optimized more on the Android side of things because it drains the battery faster and because of performance on my Androids compared to the iOS devices I've screwed around with it on. Only time will tell if that will ever get done. Could always side-load it and see how it runs. Though I'm not sure how to go about doing that for official apps like this, but I know some people have done it with "unsupported" devices so there is a way.

    That's a rather short list of consoles, especially since quite a few of them are not actually consoles. PC is my choice for gaming but it gets neglected anymore and only seems to get horribly done console ports. Should be the other way around since PCs are far more powerful, consoles should get dumbed down PC ports. That is beside the point though, best pure gaming console will always be the Dreamcast in my mind. The graphics were better than the other consoles of the same generation and the early models could play burned games (which I am lucky enough to have ). The SNES is an extremely close second though because it has my all-time favorite console game, Super Metroid.

    Eccleston and Tennant, don't care for Matt Smith at all and I've stopped watching since he became the Doctor basically. Instead I have started watching the classics when I have the time, of which Tom Baker is my favorite so far. I wish Eccleston had stuck around longer, but Tennant was awesome so I can't complain. What I love most though is that Barrowman got to interact with both of them as Jack Harkness, and it was always a blast. I would give anything to see a Tennant Dr. Who movie.

    I know your pain. I'm stuck on the quest where you need to get Scoots, and that is the only quest I have. She takes 50 hearts and I only have 30. This game has such stupid prices.
  12. The Mane-iac
    There were coins?! I'll have to watch the review after I get off work in the morning, but those are sweet. Maybe you covered this in the video, but what's on the other side? Scratch that, just checked out the link. So awesome.

    I've still yet to actually remember to look up what this is from whenever I see reference... Love the image though, how I use to love watching Rocko. Vedana, if you think Resident Evil 3 was bad you should try the remake of the first for the Gamecube. Or the original Silent Hill. Silent Hill gave me nightmares all those years ago and it still freaks me out. Love it though because the transitioning between "worlds" was so cool. Nightmare realm as I call it, was so freaky because of the rusty grates for streets and everything being super can't-see-three-feet-away dark and foggy. That mixed with the only clue to an enemy being nearby was the static of a hand radio, which would change pitch or frequency depending on enemy type, was so much scarier than Resident Evil IMO.

    Well lets see... The oldest thing I have though is a really old double barrel shotgun that was made back when they spun metal wire around a pipe and then fused it, you can still make out the spiraling, and I have been advised to never fire it unless I feel like blowing the barrels apart. It was made in 1897 according to the date stamped on the side. I'm sure with custom shot it would work though since the safety still works, it cocks, and fires when the trigger is pulled. A WW2 officer coat, since I can still wear it does that count as "working"? Basically every game system made that is worth owning IMHO, including... Atari 2600 Nintendo Time Out Fireman Fireman game (Mr. Game & Watch before it was called that) 2 NES systems with light guns Original GameBoy SNES N64 Original Playstation Original Dreamcast that can play burned games I also have an 80's RCA HQ VCR, an Apple PowerBook G3 Lombard, Mac Mini G4, and a bunch of other odds and ends (toys like G1 Transformers) I suppose. Maybe these are getting too "new" so I'll end in saying that my daily driver is a 1974 Jeep Gladiator that is about as close to mint a Jeep should be.

    DashForever and Rooish just about covered it. So that wraps up another episode of "Hate on AJ", feel free to check out the sister threads going on next door. All sarcasm aside, I don't really think her getting her own songs would help her popularity. A song doesn't change the characters personality. I'm sure I am not alone in this, but I think her personality is just fine. She isn't just focused on apples and the farm like has been said, more so her focus is on always lending a helping hoof and being there for others. She may not feel the need to declare herself awesome or that she needs to have the full attention of at least one of her friends to feel like she is loved, but she is much more mature and experienced in life than the rest. And those who can see beyond her southern farm girl shell see more there than just the dominating aspect of the others personalities that the writers so blatantly put out there.

    Ugh another one of these topics. I'll never get why these topics pop up so much, I frankly love Applejack. If not for Rarity I would be tempted to say she is "Best Pony", but I can't so I will say she would be "Best GF" to get my point across. What we need more of is "Should Gummy replace Pinkie" or "Should Angel replace Fluttershy" topics. Just because they are at the bottom of my list doesn't motivate me to make topics like that, what happened to "Love and Tolerate" when it comes to Applejack and Rarity?

    One simply does not pick a favorite scene from Nightmare Before Christmas. The whole movie is "best scene". Seriously though, the intro number "This is Halloween" is probably my favorite if I HAD to pick. I love that Jack is made up like a scarecrow and all the townsfolk having their parts makes for such a memorable and awesome intro. "What's This" is also another favorite part.

    I finally gave in and did the file mod cheat on my N7 since Android version is super glitchy still, I'll just play it correctly on my 4S since it is buttery smooth. Speaking of buttery smooth, that is something the game is not on my N7. Never was AS smooth as on my 4S, but now with so many buildings and ponies there is a huge difference between the two devices. Side note, I purchased a Galaxy Note 2 today and this app runs soooo much smoother on it. I would say on par or slightly better than my iPhone 4S even. Social aspect of the game is still screwy, but hopefully Gameloft fixes that soon since that is only a problem on the Android version.

    I work at Meijer (limited to only a few states around the Great Lakes) so that is where I get my ponies. Employee discount on ponies... nothing better. I did order the Nightmare Moon collection online from Toys R Us though because I really wanted her. Totally worth it. All the other places listed so far are good choices too, though I would honestly stay away from ebay since prices are stupid for what normally costs only a few bucks. If you want fan created stuff, Etsy is a better choice or just find the artist on DeviantArt, FurAffinity, or whatever other site they may be on.

    I've always been a night owl, hence why I work 3rd shift. I find night time to be more relaxing and peaceful, and loved it when I lived in the country on a farm. Being in town now though there isn't really much to do if I'm not working since I'm not the bar/club type and have no one to enjoy it with. What sucks though is when you need to have something done, like brakes fixed on your car or something, since no place is open at night. You then get to enjoy the thrill of getting basically no sleep for over 24hrs.

    Actually if possible, I'd look for stores that are in the UK before US based stores. The US is way behind in waves that have been offered so far (US has only had 2 and they have been released out of order compared to UK). If it comes down to it though, you can find them online. The problem with this though is that one bag is usually the price of a normal brushable pony toy sadly.

    To me the whole season so far has felt... off. I don't really know how to describe it any better than that really. Overall the Crystal Empire episodes were decent, a few things bothered me but not nearly as bad as the Pinkie episode or what has followed. Mainly what is bothering me is that they seem to be trying too hard to cater to the fandom with all the references and stuff, those things need to come naturally within the episode and not be forced. Like I was thrilled Trixie was making a return until her little display of power to force Twilight into the duel turned into nothing more than fan service it seemed. And a lot of the things that happened in the Pinkie episode bothered me and I'll probably just brush that one aside to forget. Someone earlier in the thread compared Pinkie to GIR from Invader Zim and I gotta say that would be fine and all except Vasquez never allowed GIR to get turned into a character to just make the fandom happy. He remained the same constantly random, but with purpose, crazy little robot companion of Zim as he was from the beginning.

    I don't quite understand it either but I don't let it bother me, Rarity and AJ are my two favorites no matter what others think of them. If anything my list is completely backwards from most because I have Fluttershy and Pinkie on the bottom of my list for the Mane 6. I just recently ordered a RD belt buckle from Hot Topic, can't wait to get it, but at the same time I found myself thinking that if it was AJ (maybe in a bucking position or something) it would be even better. Sadly that will never happen. And if I ever get a MLP shirt, it will more than likely be of Rarity or AJ if I don't grab a Luna or Trixie one first. When it comes to the Mane 6 though I'll take Rarity or AJ stuff over the rest any day.
  24. The Mane-iac
    I work at Meijer and can confirm that we carry them, or at least the store I work at here in Mid-Ohio does. I'm tempted to grab one just for the tin so I can set it up on my shelf behind the blind bag ponies if I ever find them. As said above though, you can get them online as well from ToyWiz or Enterplay (cheaper on Enterplay by a few bucks before shipping and all that anyways).

    The ponies not moving bug is something that seems to be showing up for those with "weaker" or older Android devices that Gameloft has deemed unable to run the game to its full potential. Or that at least is what has been decided from chatter on many other sites, including Gameloft's own forums. Also, the glitchy Gameloft Live system is only present on Android. Basically the Android version seems to have been rushed to meet a release of both OS's around the same time. On my Nexus 7 the game is super glitchy but on my iPhone 4S it runs super smooth and has had no lag or Live issues or anything. Side note, ponies move around just fine on my N7. You get Luna from completing enough or all of the main quests. She will then show up in your inventory for you to place.
