  1. of course, there are things you can find on the internet...
  2. waiting for the conclusion is worse than waiting for the beginning, IMO
  3. Doesn't HUB's website have the episodes in their videos vault? I mean, they wont update until the weekend is over probably, but at least it's from a source that wont get 'taken down.'
  4. You know, you should try waiting for the second part to upload before you watch the first one. That's what I did. Nice video though...
  5. I am sure the fanfic writers are ready to ship that as we speak. Wow, talk about disecting an episode...
  6. Ok, I'm not a very good artist. I don't draw very well and my knowledge of coloring schemes is basic. In high school, I painted a monotone piece with three different hues of colors. However, I like NASCAR, and I have found a way of combining my bronihood and my love for fast cars together. Toyota is having a "Sponsafier" contest in which people can create their own paint scheme designs for their favorite driver. yh4rjNu6eUM Well, I think I outdid myself this time... http://img715.imageshack.us/img715/8753/nascardesign.jpg The entry dates listed March 20th as the last day to enter, but it still let me register it and submit it. I'm not thinking it will win, especially since the top voter getter is a Lime Disease awareness car, and the tallies aren't even close. Tell me what you guys think!!
  7. Oh! And another thing. Braeburn is an awesome character. Of course his name is based off the Braeburn Apple. When I heard his voice, I kept thinking of the same voice I have heard elsewhere. It took me a while to remember where I heard it, but then I remembered. It sounds like the Mr. DNA from Jurassic Park.
  8. My favorite line from this episode: Following other character's statements, Fluttershy pops in. "I would love to be a tree." A couple things I loved about this episode: 1. Character design on the buffalo. WOW!! The way they animated the buffalo, just like they animated the rest of the show, was pure awesomeness. There's seems to be no exception to the way they choose to animate action shots of the characters, slow or fast, even if it's a new or minor character. It's things like this that keep me watching the show. Anypony could write a cartoony western about a land dispute, but it takes artists, writers, and voice actresses like the ones MLPFiM has to make it awesome. 2. Pies. As I understood the story and found out there would be a good old fashioned western fight scene (more of a battle), I discussed with myself exactly how they would do this. In the nanoseconds I wasn't being awed by the characters, I pondered the actual reality of an actual battle scene in this show. How would they do it? How much violence would they show? What would they use as weapons? As I watched the Applelossians harvest their non-ripe apples, and haul them to the town, I thought, oh, ok they're using apples. No. They took it a few steps further. Hundreds and hundreds of pies filled my screen and couldn't help but laugh at the quality of silliness. The contrast between the seriousness of the characters and the tasty goodness of a comic-destined apple pies makes for jaw-dropping scenes where you are trying not to laugh because you want to hear the serious things the distressed characters are saying and doing. Princeless!
  9. Children's programming typically doesn't line up with the way successful primetime programming is. The plus side of this is that there probably wont be a nasty cliffhanger at the end of the first season's last episode.
  10. That's the reason why I do it. Rare chance they'll ever get it. But if they do, they a randomly understood brony code FTW!!!
  11. A story: A father is surfing the internet while his 7 year old daughter watches television. He finds this article confirming the second season of MLPFiM. He walks over to his daughter and says, "Hey, they are making more episodes of that pony cartoon you like." His daughter shrieks, "Yay, I love that show. I'm so glad they are making more of it. Isn't that great dad!?" Her dad shrugs, "hehe, yeah, it's great, i guess..." He walks into his bedroom out of sight and sound of his daughter and closes the door. He continues by jumping up and down and shouting at the top of his lungs, "YES!!!! They are making more episodes!!!" He opens his underwear drawer and pulls out his hidden Twilight Sparkle doll and begins brushing her hair. "You hear that, Twi? We're gooing to have MORE adventures!"
  12. WOW, the ohmygosh factor is real here. I actually starting crying when I read it. Is that ok? lol
  13. I'm in. And I'm really bad at this game, so if I end up being the Dr. Hooves, I'm sorry.
  14. Just so everyone knows, HASBRO owns 50% of The HUB, which was renamed from Discovery Kids during the acquisation. And I understand the uncomfortable surroundings MLPFiM would have if it was on Adult Swim. Even though I shared these articles, I do not necessarily want it on Adult Swim. It was just something I observed when I saw these articles collectively. I really hope that Cartoon Network eventually airs MLPFiM in the states. The International agreement makes sense if HASBRO has no network overseas. However, even with as bad as the latest CN programming has been, Cartoon Network is really good at promoting their shows. I think the best thing would be for The HUB's ratings to be so overwhelming, that cable and satillite companies begin listing them in common programming. They're a long way from that, though.

    I can't seem to play the way home. Firefox keeps crashing on me when I try loading the game. I never have that problem.
  16. Who thinks syndication is imminent My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic? I do. And every day I'm seeing more information that leads me to believe that Cartoon Network's Adult Swim will attempt to pull in MLPFiM for its mysterious popularity with the older demographic, especially males 18-35. Here are the things I have found: HASBRO has made a a deal with Turner Broadcasting http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20101213005441/en/Hasbro-Studios-Turner-Broadcasting-Seal-Deal-%E2%80%98Transformers As the link says, My Little Pony, is one of a few HASBRO cartoons that will be aired on Cartoon Network in certain countries. The United States is not listed, and I have been unable to find out why. But this article shows the cooperation these two companies have to create a win-win situation. Lauren Faust has previous experience working with cartoons that have aired on Cartoon Network, primarily with Hanna-Barbara Lauren Faust's involvement in The Power Puff Girls, Codename: Kid's Next Door, and Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends are all examples of successful cartoons that have already aired on Cartoon Network with her hand in the work. Not only so, but her minor involvements in other successful shows like Dexter's Laboratory suggest that her talent is highly appreciated when Cartoon Network was at it's peak of viewership. Later on, when Adult Swim gained more popularity, several old Hanna-Barbara cartoons were 're-created' to create more mature spoof shows. Some of these include Harvey Birdman, Sealab 2020, and Space Ghost. I'm pretty sure Warner Brothers, who absorbed Hanna-Barbara in 2001, would like to have her back. My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic shares similar demographics with typical Adult Swim programming In the past, it has become the normal for Adult Swim to get their hands on an old show that is fitting for their demographic, which is mostly 18-35 males. Non-original shows that Adult Swim syndicated onto their program schedule include: The PJ's, King of the Hill, Baby Blues, The Office (British version), The Super Globetrotters, Karate Kommados, The Gary Coleman Show, and Saved By the Bell. Adult Swim loves to cater to their demographic's nostalgia. And even if My Little Pony was a little out-of-taste for Adult Swim, there is a good reason why they would air cute ponies on their station... The Adult Swim people are on crack Adult Swim is known for its airing antics and unusual style of promotion, given that their primary viewer probably appreciates it. An example of this is in March of 2007, the network advertised their Aqua Teen Hunger Force movie was to air on Adult Swim on April 1, 2007. They didn't lie. The actual airing put the whole movie in a tiny box in the corner of the screen with no sound, while a Family Guy marathon took it's place at full screen. They're on-air explanation of why they did this was, "because we're ****ing crazy." Other examples include released episodes of their original show "Perfect Hair Forever" on VHS and re-aired the episodes on TV where all the characters had drawn-on mustaches. One time, Adult Swim also aired the entire movie, "The Room" for no other reason other than the fact that it was criticized as being one of the worst movies ever. Seth Green 'likes' My Little Pony Before My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic premiered, Seth Green, actor, voice actor, and producer, made a My Little Pony spoof on his original show Robot Chicken that aired on Adult Swim on May of 2006. http://video.adultswim.com/robot-chicken/apocalypse-pony.html In September of 2010, Seth Green twittered: A petition was in place to get support from viewers for this insane request. I can only imagine that HASBRO rejected it with little consideration. However, a petition from Adult Swim-type viewers before the airing of Friendship is Magic combined with the increasingly popularity of the show from adult males after the show was aired creates an interesting (and coincidental) statistic for HASBRO to look at. However, it is worth noting that Seth Green's approach isn't all bad. People Magazine had an article on Seth Green's wedding in May 2010: So what do you guys think. I know it could still be considered a long shot, but I like to entertain the possibilities.

    Winter Wrap Up?

    Got it!! http://youtubedoubler.com/?video1=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DRJi8gSljx7U&start1=22&video2=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DNLH8eqeDxOo&start2=0&authorName=Winter+Wrap-up+clash You may need to tweak it a little, since it only allows for whole second increments. And if your download speed isn't favorable, it may affect the timing as well. Basically, start the second one about 21.5 seconds after the first one. It's about when Rarity enunciates "..old."
