Spartan-Dash (MP117) 26 March 12, 2012 #1 Share March 12, 2012 Wouldn't it be cool if there were some video game references in MLP? Like maybe Dash reading Daring Doo outloud and she mentions something about "The Land of Onyx" (Onyx is a Covenant occupied Planet from Halo) or they put Master Pony in the backround? Or maybe introduce a new pony in an episode whoes name is Emile! Anypony have any more ideas?

Swordfishtrombone 384 March 12, 2012 #3 Share March 12, 2012 In my opinion, no. Its still a girls show, and that would be overdoing it, I don't think they could pull it off anyway. It would probably just come off as awkward and desperate. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Electrobolt 2,069 March 12, 2012 #10 Share March 12, 2012 Well, one of the new episodes coming soon is named "Dragon Quest" so yeah...

Pony Joe 583 March 12, 2012 #11 Share March 12, 2012 They already have references to plenty of comparatively masculine movies, so I don't think it would really be necessary. But it would be awesome. If I'm not mistaken, there was a Portal reference in Chowder, and Adventure Time pretty much constantly uses video gamisms in its plots, so why not? That's really all there is to say on the matter.

As long as they don't overdo it, as in make the entire episode one giant homage to a game, i don't think it would be bad at all. They just need to make sure they follow the Golden Rule of good television: Moderation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comet Tail 808 March 12, 2012 #13 Share March 12, 2012 (edited) Onyx would be a bit obscure, but they have made obscure shoutouts before, but nothing that obscure, at least that I know of... How about Link pony? Just a tan pony in a green tunic and hat, somewhere in thet background. Maybe even a Skyrim pony. I don't know much about Skyrim, though, but with all the dragons in the universe, and Skyrim being such a big game I've seen it on the front page of the news... That next dragon episode just MIGHT have a Skyrim reference. ROFL WHAT IF, the camera is panning over some dragon land in "Dragon Quest", and we see a brave adventurer pony in a Skyrim helmet take an arrow to the knee, and quit? I would die. That would be too awesome... Wait... How does a dragon-fighter get an arrow to the knee?... I guess other Spike-aged dragons could use bows?...

Espionage 113 March 12, 2012 #14 Share March 12, 2012 Definitely want a Skyrim reference. Something kind of in your face but vague enough so that little girls won't know what it really means unless they too play Skyrim. "I used to be a student of Princess Celestia like you...but then I [blank]" or "Have you heard about the Royal Guards from northern Equestria? They have RED ARMOR. RED ARMOR." Or something along those lines. 1 Alea Jacta Est May I Steal Your Soul? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the knee? REALLY? *incredulous stare* *grins* Okiiiie dokiiiie lokiiiiie! Villain: Pinkie, do you want delicious cake? Of course you do. Just follow this little path into Everfree forest and... Applejack: DON'T DO IT PINKIE! IT'S A LIE!!!! Or have a character named after Ramirez to set up a Modern Warfare 2 joke. Have Twilight going around town throughout the episode, and keep hearing this: "[RAMIREZ PONY]! *insert task here*!" It would be immediately understood by Bronies, whereas the kids would be none the wiser. Or have Pinkie Pie or Rainbow Dash about to pull a prank on somepony, only for them to dive into a pile of hay when the pony turns around.

Daring Do 195 March 12, 2012 #19 Share March 12, 2012 Well, it really is their own opinion to enter these into the show. But, in the end, they probably will leave it out because this show IS targeted for younger people. The most they will do is reference old, popular movies. Video games, some people think, are more a burden than a hobby, which is why it might be avoided in terms of these kinds of shows. 1 Great adventuring for great treasures!....Except when I'm hurt...

Doctor XFizzle 8,669 March 12, 2012 #20 Share March 12, 2012 As long as it's not painfully obvious or forced, it's okay with me. Like let's say in the episode, Rainbow and Applejack are arguing with each other about who should have to put a ball or box or some object away. They throw the object back and forth to each other and while doing it, the camera takes on a ceiling view and RD/AJ look like the Pong paddles and the object is the dot.

Yellow Diamond 7,575 March 12, 2012 #22 Share March 12, 2012 My mind would be pretty blown by a Deus Ex reference. Initially, I thought such a thing would be far too outlandish for them to consider; but Solid Twilight has dramatically increased my hopes. Domine, tu omnia nosti, tu scis quia amo te.

Crispy 5,563 March 13, 2012 #23 Share March 13, 2012 Solid Twilight: War has changed. It's no longer about nations, ideologies or ethnicity. It's an endless series of proxy battles, fought by mercenaries and machines. War, and its consumption of life, has become a well-oiled machine. War has changed. ID tagged ponies carry ID tagged weapons, use ID tagged magic. Nanomachines inside their bodies enhance and regulate their abilities. Genetic control. Information control. Emotion control. Battlefield control. Everything is monitored, and kept under control. War has changed. The age of deterrence has become the age of control. All in the name of averting catastrophe from weapons of mass destruction. And he who controls the battlefield, controls history. War has changed. When the battlefield is under total control, war... becomes routine. 3 GET IN THE PIT On 2012-08-23 at 6:54 AM, Djenty said: ON MLP 4UMS ERRYTHIN IS SRS Expand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
