    Cactus

    By Harmonic Revelations,

    Hello, and Cactus to the Cactus exhibit, today we will be cactusing about the cactus in it's natural cactus.

     
    To truly Cactus the Cactus, Cactus Cactus Cactus, and observe what truthfully must be the most important Cactus among the Cactuses Cactused in the Cactusporium. Of course, the Catcus Nodes Cactus with the changing Cactus of our ever growing Cactus, so one can Cactus what kind of results we expect cactus that experiment. Cactus we really overcome such a cactus? Who Cactuses? One Cactus if for certain though,
     
    Cactus Cactus Cactus.
     
    Cactuses are like Cactus, they continually Cactus the surrounding cactus until the water has been absorbed. One Cactus can Cactus any amount of Cactus for a very long amount of Cactus, as seen below in the Cactus.

     
    Cactus on, my Cactuses.

    I decided I should compile a list of rules by which I live my life. I only felt it fitting, since my actions often cause confusion, and while I may seem to be quite random to the casual observer, I actually have a very calculated method of decision making/living.
     
    So here's a bit of what defines me, I'll post these in list form.
     
    Rule 1
    -Before taking any action, I must have reasonable expectations that it will help more people than it will harm. I do not take my own gain or loss into consideration in this expectation.
     
    Rule 2
    -If something I'm going to say is going to make people happy, laugh, or just generally improve their day, it's worth saying.
     
    Rule 3
    -Do not have a negative disposition to somebody unless I have good reason (Such as if antagonizing them obeys Rule 1). Good reasons include:
    They are committing some kind of crime

    They are intentionally harming others for their own self-gain

    They are spreading hatred intentionally.

     
    Rule 4
    -Let the past remain in the past, in the long run it takes more effort to hold a grudge than to forgive and forget.
     
    Rule 5
    -Others before myself.
     
    Rule 6
    -Anticipate the consequences of my actions and prepare for said consequences in advance.
     
    Rule 7
    -Loyalty to friends goes before loyalty to self (AKA helping others over preservation of self)
     
    Rule 8
    -Negative emotions can be kept to myself unless somebody actually has a genuine interest in such emotions.
     
    Rule 9
    -Sacrifice is a necessary part of life, always accept it when necessary.
     
    Rule 10
    -Say things are they are, not as you wish they were.
     
    Rule 11
    -If any of my beliefs are disproved by evidence, discard the belief.
     
     
    ___________
     
    I hope that kind of clears up any confusion you may have had over my moral obligations or philosophy. I was going to compile this list eventually anyway, so posting it here to help others understand the rules by which I guide myself would make a lot of sense and make my life a lot easier, instead of having to explain it individually.
     
    However, if you do wish for me to elaborate on anything written here, tell me in the comments, PM, or really any way to contact me and I shall elaborate/answer any questions.

    Hey, folks, I'm Harmonic. I haven't told a lot of people for reasons that make sense to me but no one else, but I can cure cancer with my mind. I know, I know it sounds crazy, I could explain why but my ability to do so strangely disappeared immediately before writing this blog.
     
    Well, the voices in my head have told me that Nintendo has actually been commissioned by the Belgian military to build super-soldier robots. You can't disprove me, I doubt you've even been to Belgium. These robots are out to kill us and I recommend sprinkling nutmeg in front of your doors and windows to keep them out.
     
    Mr. T pitys the foo who cannot see the advantages of having the ability to gain instant happiness by putting an envelope inside of a bigger envelope and sending it to your idol. I mean, what's the worst that could happen besides getting a restraining order against you or perhaps an angry reply letter?
     
    Do you think I'm lying? Fear not, for I have a reliable source to tell you I'm truthing. Harmonic Revelations agrees with me in full and you should not disbelieve what I'm saying no matter how far removed it is from reality or irrational what I'm saying is.
     
    Spongebob Squarepants has shown me that in order to achieve happiness you need to send envelopes and letters in pretty ink and handwriting to strangers.
     
     
    I have much credibility, remember my made-for-TV commercial?
     
     
    Here's a transcript..

    If I jumped off a bridge, you could be sure to trust me that if you followed we would both die, probably. So I'm clearly a role-model and pillar of the community. With that in mind, you should know that I have cured all of my medical conditions with wishful thinking taught to me by the Kung-Fu master Chin-Wa who lived during the 19th Dynasty of the Red Dragon, I ordered his instruction on Ebay for 10 bucks and he taught me such valuable things as Yoga and Telekinesis, which is very useful for holding back scratchers and the like.
     
    So how do YOU get your hands on such power? You travel to the alien planet of Schmop and watch watch Dexter's Lab and it will activate your ability to do anything you want.
     
    What does any of this have to do with anything? I couldn't tell you for free, *wink wink*.

    So I decided I might as well review the forums as a whole and mainly because at this point I just might as well get this out there for you lovely peoples who are interested in my thoughts about the forum and such, so I might as well put this out there.
     
     
    Visual Style:
    So let's start by talking about the visual style of MLP Forums. I love it, plain and simply. It just blends so well with MLP itself that it's an incredibly user friendly style. In fact, out of all the MLP Forums I've been on (A lot), I'd say that this is perhaps the best designed one. It's just visually stunning. I would have to say that the bright colors make the forums feel very friendly and calming. The style of this forum is really unmatched.
     
    The art style is just stunningly cute and I love the forum banners the community works on, they're really amazing.
     
    Community:
    Next I'm going to talk about the community, this is going to be a long paragraph so bear with me, please. The community has to be the best on the internet, I mean, it really does. We're so large yet maintain this close bond with each other in a way that's very hard to describe. I am pleasantly surprised at the maturity of the users here, we can discuss mature topics without dissolving into pure insults and banter (for the most part) and well, that's not something I've ever seen anywhere else. In addition, the user base is just amazing, we have such a diversity, we have funny people, calm people, hyper people, serious people, intellectual people, laid back people, younger people, older people. We have everything on this forum, and it's absolutely amazing.
     
    I've made many great friends here, but in a way, we're all friends here, the forum community is friendly, even to strangers. Despite our differences, the forum is incredibly close and supportive of each other.
     
    And really, the staff is astounding. They do their jobs with unmatched skill and effort, and I'm very grateful to all of them for running this forums smoothly. I know it's a hard job and I appreciate the unimaginable levels of effort and the love for this forum and it's community from which this effort grew. I look up for all of these Poniverse staff, moderators, and Admins, they do so much for the community with little incentive besides their love for this community.
     
    I would truly do anything for this amazing community, as it has done so much for me.
     
    If I had to say anything negative about the community, it is saddening how many users join and just immediately leave. We need more new users because their opinions are always valued highly and new faces are always a welcome sight.
     
    Organization:
     
    This is one that changes constantly, but still remains familiar. The forum sections are changing constantly, but each one serves a clear purpose, and in my opinion is easy to use even to people unfamiliar with forums or just usually confused by them. I find the descriptions on each subforum infinitely useful for helping me (And I'm sure countless others) figure out what to post where.
     
    This is one of the most straightforward and user-friendly forums I've seen, not only that, but with the incredibly helpful staff, it creates a welcoming atmosphere.
     
    Summary:
     
    Well, I just simply love this community to an extent it is hard to express in words. @Feld0 is incredibly well-humored, intelligent, and nice, and it really reflects in all of the sites he started. I believe that Poniverse is one of the best networks out there and I am incredibly proud to be a part of it's membership. This forum has to be one of, if not the, best forum I've ever been on in my entire internet experience.
     
    I have, in my past, tried different forums and never found where I fit in until I stumbled upon this marvelous forum. I love you guys, I really do. I am very grateful for the mere opportunity to participate in this community.
     
    As Poniverse continues to grow and prosper, only more great experiences lay ahead of us.

    Well, you may have heard. You probably haven't heard, you might not care either. But I, yours truly, the funniest and wittiest person ever to exist, ever, is becoming a transgender.
     
    I've actually been thinking of doing it for a while, but finally decided to go through with it. So I am going to be doing that, yep, expect it.

    The new badge system has many wondering how to get the certified brony badge now. Well, I have a guide.
     
    This is without a doubt how to do it, if it doesn't work, you did it wrong. This is the order you must do them in, as well.
     
     
     
    -Have 250 friends
     
    -Make 4500 Active Posts
     
    -Do thirty jumping Jacks
     
    -Sprint to @~Chaotic Discord~'s house without stopping
     
    -Have him sign 37 baseball cards (He needs to write his name upside down, this important)
     
    -Fly a Boeing 747 to Silver @Marcato's house (You need to land it exactly 31.33134 KM away from his house)
     
    -Stick the baseball cards in his mail box and run away giggling
     
     
    After this has been successfully done, you will have the Certified Brony badge in the new system.
     
    I hope this guide helped you.

    Hello, guys. Today I'm going to be talking about an awesome user, Pink Mist. She is rather new to the site, but has already made it clear that she is a great person, with her sig request shop. Her sigs are high quality, I personally think she is very talented. Not just that, but she likes to write, which is something I can appreciate, being a fellow writer.
     
    In addition, but she has made an
    that shows a tour of these very forums, which is amazing. You should check that out, give her a like, and a subscribe. 
    From what I've seen, she's a really nice person and I'm really looking forward to her future participation in the forums.
     
    Brohoof to you, Pink Mist.

    I got back into Minecraft and decided that I should get back into building huge over-complicated buildings immediately. So I decided to make a ranger lodge, here are some screenshots. I'd appreciate any thoughts or feedback.
     
    The front of the lodge is unfinished (I added a shed after I took the screenshots, and am working on a hedge maze to the right and a pool to the left)
     
    Here are some but not all of the lodges features:
     
    -A garden
     
    -A balcony
     
    -A fireplace
     
    -A Study
     
    -Three bedrooms (Not completely furnished yet)
     
    -Storage
     
    -Kitchen
     
    -Basement
     
    -Lobby
     
    -Skylight in the main room

    This is a followup to the original Harmonic's Guide to Posting On The Forums (If you haven't read it, please take a moment to do so).
     
    This one comes complete with pictures ( Some that I photoshopped myself to help illustrate my points) and also to make this article look beautiful.
     
    I thought that maybe I skipped some things that really should have been put in there, but really, there were quite a few, so I decided I might as well make it into it's own post.
     
    1.) Don't Make Drama when Leaving the Forums
     
    This is a big one, and I made a joke about it probably yesterday (Maybe the day before that) about me leaving, just to see what would happen if I simply made a status about it. Enough people replied to that status for me to say inconclusively that making a status about it is okay, but not necessary.
     
    You know what's not okay?
     
    Making several blogs, dozens of statuses about leaving, making a post about it, and presumably flying a zeppelin with "GOODBYE" written on it fly over Canada in the hopes that Feldicorn will see it.
     
    Do you know why it's not okay?
     
    It's not okay because about nine out of ten times these users come back in less of a week. I guarantee it's usually because the users did it just for attention, and not because some magical fairy warned them that leaving would spell their impending doom.
     
    Rather, if you're going to leave, do so, but don't turn it into some kind of dramatic grand finale because you're going to make yourself look bad and probably won't actually end up leaving at all. Make one blog post, or (And if it's particularly complicated, perhaps and) a status update, but don't do more than that.
     
    2.) Don't claim other people aren't "Real bronies"
     
    This one particularly bothers me, mainly because when it is said it's usually meant as an insult. Most common topics people say this in are debates about headcanon, opinions on episodes, and opinions on Fan Content (Especially R34 content), and it also bothers me because of how hypocritical it is. Saying something like that proves without a doubt that whoever saying it is immature, and illogical. Two things that haters love to target about the fandom.
     
    By doing this, they are:
     
    A.) Showing all of the tact of a mentally delayed cheeto dust covered comedy writer by targeting someone's personality over a minor difference of opinion.
     

    Not pictured: Brain food
     
    B.) Making sure that any logical person will side with your opponent, maybe even due to your immaturity.

    "One day they'll pay, they'll all pay."
    ______
    So what I'm saying is that this is working against your credibility if you think that just because someone disagrees with you they aren't a "Real" member of the fandom.
     
    3.) Don't Fish for Sympathy
     
    It should be noted that I'm not saying "Don't look for someone sympathetic", I'm talking about people who fish for it like they're in a contest to gather the most people to feel bad for you. I'm talking about people who turn everything into a sob story.
     
    I'm talking about the guy who goes into a thread titled "What is your favorite candy?" and says "My entire family was murdered by a roving pack of Chocolate Bars."
     

    "You bastard"
     
     
    That guy is the worst. The worst part is that for people unfamiliar with people who fish for sympathy, it's hard to tell the difference between these guys and people who are legitimately sorrowful. Which is bad because it then makes it harder to actually help people who need it.
     
    If I had to make a metaphor, it would be like a building collapsing and then a hundred people hiding themselves in the wreckage so that the emergency crews would have to look through all of them instead of those legitimately injured.
     
    4.) Don't argue unless you intend to prove your point
     
    This is a big one. Don't get into an argument unless you actually have some kind of evidence to back you up. There is no way to embarrass yourself more easily than going into an argument, actually starting to win using logic and reason, and then having nothing to drive your point home with because you had no point in the first place.
     
    You might know what I'm talking about, for example, people who argue about things that can't be proven.
     
    "Yes, Bell Bottoms are still in style on Saturn!"
     

    Unlike Hoop Earrings, which we have clear evidence of on Saturn.
  13. Harmonic Revelations
    As I discussed in volume 1, life presents many challenges that people just aren't willing or ready to face. There is still hope for those who would look for it. All the same time, the Darkness of the world is looking for you. Once you escape the darkness that is the weakness of the human psyche, as I have, the world will be yours to change, but you may not completely enjoy what you find.
     
    The path I have taken is one I have dubbed Enlightenment, and not in the simple way it is used in everyday conversation. I have dropped the shackles of social barriers and dedicated myself to pursuing the truth. If you do so as well, you may achieve uncomfortable yet profound and powerful knowledge.
     
    Many people are not completely equipped to cope with the truth that once life is over, it is over. The life that you are given is finite, which you may notice interferes with the infinite ambition some people hopelessly and foolishly pursue. Just try to do something, I for one start many projects that I never finish,that's because I find something more important to do. Maybe there is something to be learned from that, in that your plans for life are not binding. Get one thing done at a time, if you try too many goals at once, you will not do anything. And wanting and achieving one thing is infinitely better than wanting everything and achieving nothing, as so many have over the course of history.
     
    People's blind hopes for the future are sometimes justified, after all, how else could they get through life, but more importantly, why would they? As with most religious views, ambition is the product of the systems that give us our sense of purpose. With enough training, as I have done, you can redefine that purpose and abandon the bindings that keep you tied down, further limiting you. While my life is still limited after dropping the bondage that is social expectations, I am infinitely more enlightened.
     
    Many people confuse enlightenment for insanity, but as I have discussed, insanity does not exist. Perhaps the term you are looking for is mental illness, but regardless, neither exist inside of me or my kin. Unless of course, society suddenly decides it would be in their benefit to consider me not well. But that is another matter entirely.
     
    People want things, this is not new news for anybody who has ever associated with one. However, people's methods for getting the things they want vary. Some humans are just impulsive by nature, and do whatever they feel to be right. Society feeds off of this personality to nurture their infinite hole of darkness and ignorance that the public is being dragged head first into.
     
    People somehow drill the idea into their head that at some point, all of the problems in the world will be resolved by some force beyond their control. Perhaps they are right about the first half, but it is important to note that when humanity solves a problem, it is not wishful-thinking that gets us to it, it is the sweat, blood, and tears of our fellow humans.
     
    If somebody truly wishes to see change, they have to work for it. But they often choose the wrong way to go about it. While violence has many many places where it is necessary (Despite claims to the contrary by the many), it is not the answer to all of our problems. The truth is, there is NO answer to all of our problems. Not even multiple answers, some problems are unsolvable gaps with which humanity must make due and find ways to survive in spite of these issues.
     
    Humans usually feel there is some kind of victory waiting for them at the end of life, I agree that it's a possibility, but someone will have to build this victory themselves, out of their accomplishments, victories, knowledge, and personality. They must build themselves a legacy.

    I am going to use this article to explain the inner workings of an internet ego. I will do this in a question and answer format. So that I know what I am talking about, I shall use my own humongous ego as a point of comparison.
     
    I am doing this for many reasons, one of them is because I just feel like clearing up some misunderstandings, and two is that it is uncomfortable, I ran out of my prescription and I am just itching to write something, both literally and metaphorically.
     
    Q: Why do people get egos on the internet?
     
    A: Various reasons, including simple attention seeking, actual medical conditions, Extreme douchebaggery (I like to call this one Mitt Romney Syndrome), and others. See the last question for a more detailed explanation.
     
    Q: Where do people get egos on the web?
     
    A: Well, to answer your question, I would say that it can start a variety of places, but most prominently, this person has had an ego in real life for quite a long time, and is just not willing or in most cases, not able to let go of it. Perhaps they have received praise for something and believe that is enough validation to declare themselves lord of the internet, or something similarly ridiculous, in that vain.
     
    Q: Do people with egos have ill-intent?
     
    A: They can, and sometimes, they will, but they don't have to. I have a huge ego and it is about as harmless as me talking about myself a lot, but that is about it. On the other hand, some people can reach Scientologist levels of ego-driven jerkassery, but if they are acting like that, they are probably just jerks, with or without the ego. People without egos are just as likely to be jerks than those with ego, but you would assume that all people with huge egos are jerks because they just (usually) make a lot more ruckus than those who are just nice people with abnormally high self-worth.
     
    Q: Why are egos more prominent on the web than in real life?
     
    A: To put it simply, because the internet is set up specifically to form egos. You are communicating with people who you cannot see the face of, and the whole emotional aspect is lost in transition, so in order to succeed on the internet you need the approval of complete strangers. Some people just get way too used to being approved and can't let go of it.

    This is a bit of an interesting story, and It's going to start a bit back before I joined the forums. I used to be a user of a little forum I won't name now, it has built quite a legacy but is dying off. However, I stayed around, and amassed almost 10,000 posts. Somehow, my life remained empty and meaningless, I was constantly tormented by an array of insults delivered both online and off, and I was just generally failing at life in every conceivable way.
     
    At this point, I had been a brony for a while already, but I had not engaged the community at all. That is when I started searching for an MLP forum, and an MLP forum there was, it was THE MLP forum. I can honestly say without a shadow of a doubt, from the bottom of my heart, that joining this forum is one of the greatest things that has ever happened to me.
     
    I had become depressed to the point where I had attempted suicide several times, and life as a whole just seemed pointless to me at the time, but I decided that I may as well try talking to a new group of people, that is likely one of the best decisions I ever made.
     
    Almost immediately after I joined the forums, my depression dissipated. It just kind of vanished, not unlike Rob Schneider's career as a director. And I am glad for it, not only did the forums lift my depression, it inspired me to do so much more. The community here inspired me not only to get back into writing, but to embrace comedy once more.
     
    Without you, forums, I don't know where I would be.
     
    You guys are the best.

    *George lets out a heavy sigh before producing the chainsaw hidden inside of the wall panel with a poster of the Mrs. Butterworth brand of maple syrup, with the word sticky across the bottom*
     
    Harmonic: Cheese and crackers! THAT JUST MIGHT WORK!
     
    George: I know, I'm a genius.
     
    Harmonic: Yet again, that is usually my job.
     
    *George starts cutting open the cell bars*
     
    George: This is why they call me Scissors
     
    *George finishs cutting bars*
     
    George: Let's run!
     
    Harmonic: I can't.
     
    George: Why not?
     
    Harmonic: I can't run with scissors.

    54 Flaming monkeys at sea



    They are not beautiful, pretty like me



    Echidnas fly out of their faces



    and explode destroying the places


     

    The monkeys attack the little critters



    Eating some avocado-watermelon fritters



    Flaming Wheelchairs fall from the sky



    They are not clever or witty as I


     

    The town and the city burns to the ground



    Not a single ATM to be found



    from the sky, darkened ash falls



    I am most definitely tripping serious balls


     

    As the clock ticks by, slipping away



    counting up to the very next day



    I sit there, looking at once was a city



    yet I cannot feel any pity


     

    For I am a robot squid zombie wizard,



    who can play ping pong and conjure up blizzards



    Shooting lamp posts out of my hand



    I sustain myself by eating rubber bands


     

    Marco can not play tribes very well



    It's because he doesn't play much he will tell



    He doesn't have much tactic to refer to



    Some line about something should be here, shoe


     

    I am very tired, writing this thing



    the stream's title has a very nice ring



    I have no idea what I'm talking about



    At your face I will throw a trout


  19. Harmonic Revelations
    So last night, @Key Gear did a very dangerous thing, he asked if he could step into my mind for a moment. This is possibly more insane than anything I myself could ever even suggest doing.
     
    So let's look into the darkest corners of my mind, and discover what awaits us. We'll talk about things I've done, things I've said, and well yeah, this is gonna be a long one so just sit right back. There are many wonders here but there are also horrible, disturbing things in my mind. You have been warned.
     
    Let's start by talking about my temperament. Generally, I'm a level headed person, and for this I have quite a bit of merit in my arguments. I'm the kind of person who argued in favor of drugs in those anti-drug programs and made valid points. Debating is a skill I have carried with me all my life. However, sometimes, I do something often observed in humans. Scientifically it is known as "Losing your shit". It has been observed in every human ever.
     
    This leads me to be a serious type when I need to be. However, sometimes, that's not what a situation calls for. Sometimes, people just take things too seriously, or, maybe, maybe someone is just stupid. Let's say for a second that someone is making an incredibly invalid and homophobic,sexist, and racist argument. They deserve nothing in response but cynicism and if they're just that kind of person, an abusive behavior report.
     
    However, I don't like to be mean spirited, most of the time, I'm just playful. At best, I can be energetic and inspiring, at worst, I can be insane and irrational. There is no black and white way to cut my mind. If you cut my mind down the center, you'd see the inside of my mind, and then you'd see police cars pulling into your driveway, but that is beside the point.
     
    Onto the more eccentric parts of my personality. Let's talk about for a bit about my sense of humor. The following is very disturbing, and you should probably leave your sanity on this paragraph and come back for it later lest it be damaged by reading the following. What do I think qualifies as funny? My ego says everything that I say is side-splitting hilarious, but that's not what I use to make people laugh.
     
    In order to truly be funny, you have to be random, yet you also have to be relevant. The best way of explaining it is that while you have to understand timing intimately. Sometimes joking about horrible things really can be funny, but before you make a joke, you need to understand your audience. You have to understand the temperament of the people you're talking to. Some people can take jokes and some can't, that's just the way things are. All you can do in order to be more funny is to embrace the audience you're speaking to.
     
    Another thing about humor is that you need to think from the audience's point of view. If you were the person you are telling the joke to, would you laugh? If the answer is no you probably shouldn't tell the joke. Although it is kind of hard to be that subjective when you don't know the person well, so sometimes you just have to take the chance and hope things turn out well.
     
    Let's talk then about some specific things and people, woohoo for shout outs, I suppose. Let's start by talking about someone I like very very much, Dawn Rider. Dawn Rider just recently became a staff member, and is already doing very many wonderful things. Dawn Rider is such a nice person, that I feel bad swearing infront of them, that is just how great they are, he knows how to take a joke, and yet he is just so pure intentioned that I can't help but not joke about him anyway. Then we have people like Marco ~ Ace Attorney, the nicest person on the Earth. He lives in New Jersey, so a lot of bad things have already happened to him, I'm sure. But he can take a joke, and I'm not afraid to joke around with him. He is level headed, which is why I think he is probably one of the most helpful people around. Key Gear appears to be the same way in that he knows how to joke around.
     
    As for my ego, this is something that has been brought up a lot. I have a humongous ego, one that might even be too hard to grasp at all. I try to make up for having a huge ego by being completely honest about it. And on some levels, I exaggerate how narcissistic I am for comedic effect, in case you were wondering.
     
    Now onto one of my flaws, I'm very raunchy. I am not able to hide that, it's just something that I have, and it's something that I'm good at controlling, but under the right circumstances, it shows, it really does. Another flaw of mine is that I hate admitting I'm wrong, if you can get to me admit I have made a mistake, I must really, really, like you.
     
     

    That is a bit of insight into the workings of my mind.



    I hope it helped.

    I have started my ultimate quest to make a Tulpa. I know that sounds ridiculous, but as a wise man named Bon Jovi once said,"it's my life, it's now or never." Also, I seek companionship. So anyways, to start off, I found a guide. The guide said that it could be anything, even a rock. So I was starting to visualize Carrie Underwood but decided against it. So anyways, I started working on the perfect personality for a companion to the world's most cynical smart-ass pervert. As you can imagine, the appearance I imagined was something you'd only find if you searched DeviantArt with the safe filter off.
     
     
    Luckily for me, I'm into that kind of thing. So my Tulpa is going to be a mare pony, I established that, the main reason I decided that is that if I didn't start off with a base shape I'd start to imagine insane creatures possibly the likeness of No-face from Spirited Away..
     

    As for personality, I went with personality traits like smart, seductive, kind, sexy, understanding, kinky, good sense of humor, passionate. All the normal things people like me look for in a companion. And why not? If I'm going to be spending the rest of forever with this being, they might as well be designed in a way so that I will enjoy their presence. And would that not be the greatest thing ever for someone like me, who has abandonment issues due to my father? Plus, creating a hallucination is less expensive than a therapist.
     
    I know it will be draining, but that's the point. At least I will feel like I've accomplished something if I succeed, and if I fail it's nothing that therapy can't handle.
     
     

    "Now explain to me again, Harmonic, why you were imaging a pony mistress?"
     
    Taking time to conceptualize a hallucination seems foolish but is all-in-all a great way to keep myself entertained and it's not abnormal for me, since i've done Satanic Rituals out of boredom before. Anyways, I'll keep you updated about my magical adventures and eventually we'll figure out how this ends up turning out.

    http://mlpforums.com/blog/504/entry-4245-the-top-5-most-intimidating-enemies-in-modern-video-games/

     
    Nobody in the modern world will probably say that there is a day that goes by when we don't have problems. And not only that, but world wide problems are approached from a variety of angles, and while I don't have ALL the answers, I decided I should at least give one of the solutions. Note: I did not say this would be an easy solution, but I'm not going to say that this is impossible either. I can guarantee that this solution is absolutely Rambo-scale bad ass, though.
     
     
     
     
    World Hunger, and how to solve it
     
    World hunger is no doubt a problem that people have been trying to solve ever since it sprung up. With so many people starving to death, we have tried a lot of solutions to this particular problem. While people in the developed world worry about what they're going to have for dinner, people in some parts of the world worry if they're going to eat anything for the next several days.
     
    Such an appalling problem led to a lot of public outcry, so we have done a lot, yet to no avail. Yes, world hunger is still a problem.
     
    Solutions we usually try:
     
    So most of the time we end up sending support to these countries. We'll send over people in order to supply these nations with food and water. They also occasionally provide community building services like building houses and schools that could be destroyed by a stiff breeze (Who knew that sending people with no experience building anything to build communities could end horribly wrong).
     
    Now onto why these efforts don't work:
     
    Well, first of all, eventually our support pulls out. This is apparently due to people forgetting that food and water is kind of something that people need constant access to. And even the things they supposedly put there to help the community (Like buildings) as I have mentioned above are defective, I should mention that this is kind of a problem we need experts to help with, and not some volunteers.
     
    But of course, the lack of profit in it severely limits how many professionals are willing to work on it since this world is based on greed.
     
    My Badass Solution:
     
    Terraform Mars
     
    Yes, you read that correctly. I suggest that we start a project to condition Mars' atmosphere until it can support life. Such an endeavor is only estimated to take a few hundred years. And considering how long it took us to do a lot of pointless things, colonizing Mars would solve TWO problems. One, once it can support life and has it's own ecosystem, it would provide more area for farming. And considering the fact that commercial space travel just recently became a thing, we can definitely have some kind of system for transferring supplies between Earth and Mars.
     
    This would not only solve World Hunger by providing more resources, but it would do something else too. It could solve overpopulation. People could move to Mars, and the population density could change to make life better on Earth. And since we know more about how the environment works now than we ever did, we would hopefully be smart enough not to pollute Mars. As for constant food on Mars until we make it able to support life? Well, recently scientists learned how to GROW EDIBLE MEAT in labs, so we could do that.
     
    "But..Harmonic, the world is based on greed, nobody will colonize Mars!",
     
    Well, voice in my head, I'm glad you brought up that point. Let me point out that for multiple reasons, colonizing mars is extremely profitable. Be it maybe for the tons of unclaimed land that these corporations could stake claim to, or be it for the fact that space travel is bad ass enough that travel agencies would definitely rake in the dough from the rich people who want to got o space.
     
    Even if private corporations don't do it, it could still be a government endeavor. We just build up Mars until it is self-sufficient, and hope that Demons do not invade.

    So this time, I'm mixing it up, and we'll be doing something about a lighter topic than usual, we'll be talking about video games.
     
    Today we'll be talking about what are (In my opinion, of course) the most intimidating enemies and enemy factions in modern video games (Because if I included classic video games this would quickly turn into a list that just feels repetitive, there are many articles about classic video game enemies out there, and I may do a list like that some time). Be it for gameplay reasons, story reasons, or otherwise, I will talk about the different enemies I find most intimidating.
     

    ⚠Spoilers Beyond this point!⚠



    _______________________________________


     
    5: HECU (Half-Life)
     
    Okay, where do I start? A thing that comes up immediately is the fact that they have the upper hand on you when first encountered, especially since you originally think they are in the facility to help you and the other members of the Black Mesa Staff escape from the facility.
     
    Not to mention, at the time of Half-Life's release, the HECU marines had some of (if not THE) most advanced AI that had been seen in the video game industry. They use group tactics, take cover, and even use grenades. This is brought up to eleven in Black Mesa wherein it only takes them a fraction of a second to target you and start firing due to their coding.
     
    Plus they have vehicle support, which is very bad news for you if you don't have a good strategy to deal with...say...an Apache Helicopter that comes out of absolutely no where and starts handing out bullets like candy, and by handing out I mean pumping them directly into your face.
     
    Let's just say that the damn dam was damn hard.
     
     
    4: Infected (Left 4 Dead)
    The infected are a simple variation of the common zombie often seen in folk lore. What makes the infected from Left 4 Dead special? It has quite a bit to do with the fact that they retain human motor functions, and thus can run. They can run so well, in fact, that they run faster than the survivors.
    Another thing about the infected is just how many of them there are. They are literally everywhere.
     
    The special infected are extremely powerful and it's quite easy to die by their hands (or whatever else they mutated to have). Jockeys, smokers, and chargers are by far the worst. Mostly since the first two are more annoying than harmful and the second way is way too common for an enemy that tough.
     
    Of course It's all okay in Left 4 Dead 2, because we have Coach, the one man cheeseburger apocalypse to accompany us through the apocalypse.
     
    3: Deadites (Evil Dead)
    You may only remember Evil Dead for the movies, which is understandable, since in my opinion, Army of Darkness is the best movie ever. However, it wasn't so long ago that two Evil Dead video games were released (A fistful of Boomstick, and my personal favorite, Regeneration), which is why it's included on this list.
     
    Anyways, if you think there is any reason you should not be afraid of Demons that require the almighty one liners from Bruce Campbell to defeat, then you are very insane brave. The deadites are vicious and every time you see one they try to roll out the red carpet, except instead of carpet it's your blood.
     
    Combined with the varieties on this ancient evil, there is really no shortage of reasons that these bastards are terrifying. However, if you've ever played the Evil Dead games, you are probably chemically addicted to Bruce Campbell (As I am).
     
    It gets easier though, especially once you end up getting the rocket boomstick at the Junkyard.
     
    2: The Covenant (Halo series)
    The Covenant are pretty much the definition of intimidating. They have far superior technology to humans, and just generally annihilate everything in their path. At the beginning of the Human-Covenant war, humans have several hundred colonies, by the end of it, they only have Earth left. The Covenant is comprised of intimidating creatures (Minus the grunts) led by completely insane indivisuals (The Prophets/San Shy'uum, depending on how you wish to spell or say it).
     
    If it was not for the Great Schism, then the humans probably would have lost the war. By the end of the war, they have wiped out billions of people and almost pushed humanity to extinction. Plus their religious beliefs give a very clear view of just how insane the Covenant art (Except Jackals, who are just mercenaries).
     
    1: The Combine (Half-Life 2)
    And here we are, back at the Half-Life series. I somehow anticipated I'd end up back here. The Combine (Or Universal Union) as they refer to themselves, are just plain evil, yet ominious. Their true intentions are never fully revealed, except that they have enslaved humanity and are stealing resources away from Earth.
     
    The worst part is that there is absolutely nothing the humans can do about it. The Combine take humans into various chambers and bioengineer them into merciless killing machines, and since they're engineered from humans they are perfect for warefare on Earth, it's ingenius. Not to mention the Synths they have, which are devastating combinations of biological life and mechanical parts.
     
    Even if their strategy fails, they STILL have the upper hand, because according to all accounts, the Combine are INTERDIMENSIONAL. That is an absolutely huge deal and if anyone reading this would not be freaked out by being attacked by an army that can travel through dimensions, you are insane, and probably the same reader who said that demons would not intimidate them.
     
    One of the scariest things is that you never fully understand why they don't just destroy Earth, what with the rebellion and all that, and yet nothing is stopping them from doing just that.

    Us bronies don't deserve to be hated, and that's true, however, lots of times we make false assumptions about everything involving the fandom. I hope that by pointing them out, it can at least help people become more logical. I'm here to clear up a few things.
     
     
    #5: Non-Bronies are always haters
    This is a logical fallacy I see fairly often in the fandom. Why people believe that non-bronies are always haters is something that escapes my understanding. That is like saying everyone who prefers Pepsi has a death-wish against the Coca-Cola company, it's not true, and it doesn't even look true if you squint at it sideways from fifty yards away. Haters exist and non-bronies exist, but that is not an interchangeable term.
     
    As the name implies, being a non-brony means you're not a brony, simple as that.
     
    And being a hater implies you hate, see? Very simple.
     
    #4: Who your favorite pony is matters
    While it's nice to know, it's not something you need to convince people to. Converting someone to your favorite pony is like convincing someone the color orange is superior to the color blue. It's an opinion question and a petty one at that. Why waste your time arguing about who the best pony is instead of say...explaining why you like your favorite pony in a very long several paragraph essay-type thing (CD has the right idea, although Discord isn't a pony, you get the idea). I'm not saying it doesn't matter to anyone, what I'm saying is that it's not worth starting a flame war about.
     
    #3: Being a brony means you're a nice person
    This one is not true in the slightest. While generally we're over all the nicest fandom around and this forum specifically might be the nicest place on the internet, it's not like that's because we're bronies. Correlation does not equal causation. I have seen many people who are bronies and also happen to be jack-asses, and I've seen nice non-bronies. Being a brony doesn't indicate anything except that you like the show.
     
    #2: The fandom is some kind of hive mind
    I see this very often in threads. People post like the entire fandom agrees about everything, all the time, twenty four seven. They say "we bronies believe yattayattayatta" which is not something that can be said. We're a very diverse group with a lot of different opinions. The main reason this is annoying is because they will often get defensive when you tell them that you have a different opinion, if not, they'll usually ignore you. It's especially bad when the opinion they claim is the generally held one in the fandom is when it's a very unpopular opinion.
     
    #1: Firebolt is not the coolest person ever.
    This is perhaps the strangest anomaly I ever see. I have seen people who actually believe that Firebolt is not the coolest person ever. That is a very strange belief, and I don't know where the rumor first sparked.
