  1. My absolute favourite would have to be Winter Wrap Up, but anything with Twilight and/or Rarity is a winner for me. Daniel Ingram and the singers should all be proud - they always manage to pull off at least a decent performace, even in the new Failure Success song, and they I think they should keep songs flowing at about the same rate that they always have done. Because when they do deliver a truly great song like Winter Wrap Up and This Day Aria, they live with us for a long time!
  2. I broke my left arm, leaving a seven inch scar running all the way down my upper arm from the shoulder to elbow after surgery. But the most interesting(and completely humiliating) part is this...
  3. Hi there! Welcome to...well, here! Everypony's pretty friendly around here, so make sure you explore the whole site and post often in the forums. You might make some new friends while you're at it. It's just impossible to choose a single favourite pony, isn't it? Everypony always likes at least two or three of them best!
  4. Player 2: Pinkie Pie Player 3: Another Pinkie Pie Player 4: Yet another Pinkie Pie In fact I'd give up my controller to the real Pinkie Pie, so then the four of them can play Mario Kart Wii while all the other Pinkies shout FUN!FUN!FUN!FUN!FUN!FUN!FUN!FUN! in the background.
  5. Thank you, I'm so glad I'm not the only one who's spent a possibly unhealthy amount of time lamenting how flimsy pieces of paper and numbers on a page, disguised as what we should all aspire to gain, are in reality meaningless figures and the cause of the vast majority of suffering for every person on the planet, directly or indirectly. This part connected with me in particular - I think problems must have begun when we became almost too intelligent, or at least intelligent enough to lie and decieve each other. It's natural to want more, instinctive to take in order to survive, but as we grew in number as a species, some people's greed and manipulation must have called for some sort of solution. So we created systems which everyone had to follow. Who actually had the authority to decide how we all live is a different matter, but eventually someone somewhere obviously come up with the concept of money. It must have seemed like a fantastic idea at the time, and seeing as it's still in use today in every single country's society it must have been a miracle solution back then. But it just doesn't work anymore, and in a way it never did. The rules of every system always sway in favour of the people who have the luxury of a lot of money, who only get more, while those with nothing sink ever lower. Nowadays everyone knows the plight of unfair distribution of wealth, yet most of us turn a blind eye hoping someone else will resolve the problem - I'm guilty of this myself. I honestly think there is a way to change our ways so everyone has an equal opportunity in life, and if that means burning every last dollar bill and scrapping every last pound coin then that's what we should be prepared to do. The problem is discovering the solution. And even if we do devise an absolutely fair system, everyone will be frightened of what the differences will mean for them. Drastic change will breed uncertainty within us all, including in those who invented the idea in the first place. Whatever the case, it's almost certainly not going to be an issue resolved (or perhaps even acknowledged) in our lifetimes - we've forgotten that our family and friends are the most important things in life. I hope that one day someone with a kind heart and a brilliant mind will bring us back to our senses.
  6. The show is called 'Friendship is Magic' for a reason - even if a darker theme is eventually resolved and everypony learns a lesson, the magic we feel as viewers just wouldn't flow - we'd feel slightly awkward with it. Also, increased violence is almost unaviodable when exploring more mature matters, and at the moment they've got the level of conflict between the Mane 6 (which is always resolved in the same episode anyway) so spot on that you can still relish every second and actually embrace concepts like Fluttershy going psycho on her friends now and then. Even if the darker themes were superbly executed, it could never replace what we're enjoying right now. Whatever the case, change brings criticism, especially when there was no need to alter the winning formula in the first place. But then, as long as Lauren Faust has her brilliantly creative hand in the mix, I don't think we've got anything to worry about
  7. Pinkie Pie is a manifestation of laughter itself, and for me that's exactly what she invoked in the episode. I hadn't laughed so much in quite a while! These are the sorts of episodes which they need to keep on delivering - a plot focus on one of the ponies with seamless contributions from the others. The humour thrown in helps too, of course; Pinkie Pie defying physics is always a winner! Oh, and did anypony else suddenly get a new respect/extreme fear for Twilight? She was RUTHLESS!
  8. Night time offers respite and time to do your own thing instead of what everyone else wants you to do. Like all of your worries could just float away...
  9. Like many ponies have already said, I can't ream off a huge list, but just a few highlights would be: Avenged Sevenfold, Symphony X, Dream Theater, Muse, Nightwish, Sonata Arctica, Skillet, Haken, Pendulum, Dragonforce, Phil Collins, Biffy Clyro, Simply Red and Mumford & Sons Basically a lot of progressive metal and some simpler genres thrown in to calm me down!
  10. Rainbow Dash when it comes to her competitiveness and way of getting things done, although I don't quite have her outgoingness! Also I have quite a lot in common with Twilight, apart from maybe the way she flies into a panic whenever one little thing is late xD I think we can all relate to everypony in the show to some extent - we all have the potential to pump ourselves into a drive to succeed like Dash, and feel moments of deep uncertainty and terror like Fluttershy. But then, that's a really good thing! Even though my personality shares very little with Rarity's, I still love her just because of how British she is - go Rarity! Be proud of your pronounced speech!
  11. When I watched the first couple of episodes, I quite liked it, but some weird force was compelling me to keep on clicking the link to the next one. It wasn't until Dragonshy and Look Before You Sleep that I realised exactly why I was enjoying the show so much - the humour, the realistic aspects of strained relationships (yet how it still managed to play these lightly), how everything comes together and, of course, the high quality of the animation and script-writing Still, I didn't consider myself a brony until The Best Night Ever, which was brilliant. End of the first season? Perfect time to join everypony else who loves the show.
  12. I'm mostly into Nintendo games, especially pokemon what with the release of the new games - it's awesome! And yes, I'm glad to see we (and Kolth, of course) have a lot in common Thanks for making me feel welcome; I'm gonna go check out Octavia's Hall now. Can't wait for season 3 to start!
  13. My Favourite Mane 6 Pony: Fluttershy How did you find MLP Forums?: Searched for a good forum myself, of course! I enjoyed the show so much that it was only a matter of time before I wanted to share the mutual interest with others How you became a fan of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic: No-one could fail to notice the huge herd of fans (rightly) taking the internet by storm, so I just had to check it out. Watched the first episode, and the rest is history. I'm a guy who's always retained that attitude of keeping your head in the clouds and dreaming about gems of ideas just waiting to become something epic. Watching great shows such as MLP and being a long-time video game fan does that to you! In short, I love anything which taps into my creative side. I'm very open to suggestions on new ideas from anypony, as well as those which I'm developing myself I'm especially partial to writing, my favourite passion and hobby (although my drawing ability leaves a lot to be desired!). I'm looking forward to being a part of the herd!
