  1. You actually trust those guys? @_@ I think that metacritic is the absolutely worst and I'd rather trust the gaming forums and fan sites.

     

    Metacritic has yet to let me down. My primary sources of gaming information are IGN and Game Informer. I take my info with a grain of salt though. ;)

    • Edmund Hillary, the first person to climb Mount Everest, did so accidentally while chasing a bird.

    The first commercial airline flight took to the air in 1914. Everyone involved screamed the entire way.

    The plural of surgeon general is surgeons general. The past tense of surgeons general is surgeonsed general.

    The occupation of court jester was invented accidentally, when a vassal's epilepsy was mistaken for capering.

    Dreams are the subconscious mind's way of reminding people to go to school naked and have their teeth fall out.

    In Greek myth, the craftsman Daedalus invented human flight so a group of Minotaurs would stop teasing him about it.

    Before the Wright Brothers invented the airplane, anyone wanting to fly anywhere was required to eat 200 pounds of helium.

    In 1879, Sandford Fleming first proposed the adoption of worldwide standardized time zones at the Royal Canadian Institute.

    In 1948, at the request of a dying boy, baseball legend Babe Ruth ate seventy-five hot dogs, then died of hot dog poisoning.

    While the submarine is vastly superior to the boat in every way, over 97% of people still use boats for aquatic transportation.

    Roman toothpaste was made with human urine. Urine as an ingredient in toothpaste continued to be used up until the 18th century.

    Before the invention of scrambled eggs in 1912, the typical breakfast was either whole eggs still in the shell or scrambled rocks.

    The Tariff Act of 1789, established to protect domestic manufacture, was the second statute ever enacted by the United States government.

    During the Great Depression, the Tennessee Valley Authority outlawed pet rabbits, forcing many to hot glue-gun long ears onto their pet mice.

    William Shakespeare did not exist. His plays were masterminded in 1589 by Francis Bacon, who used a Ouija board to enslave play-writing ghosts.

    Pants were invented by sailors in the sixteenth century to avoid Poseidon's wrath. It was believed that the sight of naked sailors angered the sea god.

    Diamonds are made when coal is put under intense pressure. Diamonds put under intense pressure become foam pellets, commonly used today as packing material.

    Contrary to popular belief, the Eskimo does not have one hundred different words for snow. They do, however, have two hundred and thirty-four words for fudge.

    Halley's Comet can be viewed orbiting Earth every seventy-six years. For the other seventy-five, it retreats to the heart of the sun, where it hibernates undisturbed.

    The Schrodinger's cat paradox outlines a situation in which a cat in a box must be considered, for all intents and purposes, simultaneously alive and dead. Schrodinger created this paradox as a justification for killing cats.

    In Victorian England, a commoner was not allowed to look directly at the Queen, due to a belief at the time that the poor had the ability to steal thoughts. Science now believes that less than 4% of poor people are able to do this.

    If you have trouble with simple counting, use the following mnemonic device: one comes before two comes before 60 comes after 12 comes before six trillion comes after 504. This will make your earlier counting difficulties seem like no big deal.

  2. Rarity went, didn't she?

     

    Last season before Sisterhooves Social, she would have said "no" without a second thought. For Celestia's sake, she was with Applejack and Dash, of course her way of going about things is going to look ridiculous in that context.

     

    Give a mare a break, will ya?

  3. Luna can finally spend time with everybody! Now she can feel all relevant and stuff.

     

    I am the Princess of the Night

    But within your dreams I am the light

    If you feel threatened and unsure

    I will heighten their allure

     

    I am the Protector of the Night

    I keep you all within my sight

    The thing that causes you to flee

    Will think again when faced with me!

  4. If I were Discorded? I'm sure that the way I view myself is not entirely accurate. If you were to hold a gun to my head, and ask me, let's see...

     

    I'm an opportunist, skeptic, realist and comical.

     

    So Discorded I would be...

     

    Altruistic, self-righteous, optimistic and gullible.

    TL;DR: I aim to misbehave.

    "From this distant vantage point, the Earth might not seem of any particular interest. But for us, it's different. Consider again that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there – on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam."

  6. You know...I'd REALLY have to say that it'd be better if you added more than just a song's part...but it's Take a Bow...from Muse...added with an evil looking Twilight that would totally fit what Kyronea thinks of minus the fact she doesn't have wings...and the fact the song actually fits for the most part...take my brohoof. Take it.

     

    Taken. I actually don't think she'll turn into a Nightmare Moon, but I do think she'll get corrupted somehow. She was a bit too eager to try out her dark magic spell, and now that amulet is in play.

     

    Interesting things to come in the days ahead.

  7. Corrupt
    You're corrupt
    Bring corruption to all that you touch
    Hold
    You behold
    And beholden for all that you've done
    And spin
    Cast a spell
    Cast a spell on the country you run
    And risk
    You will risk
    You will risk all their lives and their souls

    And burn
    You will burn
    You will burn in hell, yeah you'll burn in hell
    You'll burn in hell
    Yeah you'll burn in hell
    For your sins

    And our freedom's consuming itself
    What we've become
    It's contrary to what we want

    Take a bow

    EDIT: The song is "Take a Bow" by Muse. I DID NOT WRITE IT.

  9. Call.

     

    I'm being serious.

     

    Not really.

     

    But seriously.

    Nah I'm just kiddin'.

    SPOILERCEPTION

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Also get divorced. That was really annoying.

     

    But present day stuff? Let's see, my dad complains about how much he hates the internet and computers yet he owns his own recreational laptop and plays FARKLE for hours.

     

    As for my mom, she tries way too hard. SLOW DOWN please I came home to spend time with you not whisk off from one place to another in a mad frenzy of attempted fun.

  10. If this was concerning a show like Breaking Bad or The Walking Dead, then I would be more inclined to agree with your annoyance at this other plot point.

     

    If this was concerning a show like Breaking Bad or The Walking Dead, I'd have to agree with you on that one. I can't really see how levitating animals would make any sense whatsoever in that context.

     

    Actually, in Breaking Bad it would probably be magnets. Bitch. :)

  11. Twilight Sparkle, unicorn. A mare barely able to save an empire. Gentlemen, we can rebuild her. We have the technology. We have the capability to build the world's first bionic alicorn. Twilight Sparkle will be that alicorn. Better than she was before. Better, stronger, faster.

    ...THE SIX MILLION DOLLAR MARE

     

    Twilight needs to be nerfed anyways.

     

    She is going to be corrupted in the season finale... just you wait!
