  2. Pokemon Cards Anyone?

    in Chit Chat

    Posted

    My first pokemon card was a beat up 1st Ed Rattata I found lying in a parking lot. XD

    Was it the top percentage of 1st Ed Rattata? Joking, I collected pokemon cards nearly around the same time the show came out. First card I had was a holo-foil Gyarados, which used to be my favorite pokemon as a kid aside mewtwo and Kadabra. Nowadays I haven't bought any recent ones aside a tin of booster packs just to see what the newer cards are like. I got a more recent squirtle card and now I don't need to buy pokemon cards until there's a pokemon cuter than Squirtle.

    Aahemtabunne.pngSo much cutier then Squirtle <3

    Blatant Chansey rip-off to me. And NOTHING is cuter than Squirtle.

  4. W&D S01EP25 - "Party of One" [it's live!]

    in Friendship is Magic Series

    hi hi

    Did anyone else notice the similarities between the "Pinkalicious Tea Party," from an earlier season? Teaparty by yourself with stuffed animals trope subverted?

    A good friend of mine was having relationship problems once upon a time, where his significant other got to the point that she would always assume the worst. So during one argument over a misunderstanding he just said: "If there's more than one way you can take something I say, just assume that I mean the good one."

    Perhaps the other ponies might have been more sensitive to the distress Pinkie Pie was in and clued her in to the surprise earlier when they realized she was getting angry. (it'd still have been a good surprise.) I get the feeling that this sort of thing isn't something that anypony deals with all to often, so the rest of the gang might not have seen it coming. Still I think part of the point is that nopony is perfect and sometimes you've got to give your friends the benefit of the doubt, or at least a break. (channeling a little bit of "two wrongs don't make a right?" or maybe "don't get angry, get even?")

    The resolution may have been sudden, which I can see being disconcerting to some. Honestly, I think a lot of these episodes could easily be 30-45 minutes long, but I'm not going to fault them too much for time constraints. They probably could have used a little bit more time coming to a resolution in order to put the drama to rest, but I have a feeling the next episode will do a good job of that too. :o

    I am really glad that when Pinkie Pie started getting sad with the whole "I thought everyone liked my parties," line, just as I was about to start tearing up, Rainbow Dash popped in from out of nowhere and broke the tension.

    Sorry, but I missed your point; it seemed like you retracted your argument. If I'm reading you correctly, my response is that the only way to truly be able to handle something like that is if both parties directly say what they're thinking; how can the other ponies try to help Pinkie feel better if she didn't say anything directly until the end? We have to remember that as audience members, we're given a deeper perspective into the characters thoughts and actions, but we can't assume that any character knows as much as we do.

    As for the ending, I thought it ended perfectly, but that's just me. :D

    Yes, I do speak write and speak Japanese :D Basic, but enough to help me get around. I studied abroad in Japan for a year, so that was a huge help.

    You're an art major with a minor in Japanese? How come, if I may ask?

    The art major is for the opportunity to get better at drawing, and to learn filmmaking techniques and animation (I'm specializing in Film and Video). But the Japanese minor actually plays more into my plan A. I'm planning on going to seminary after college to be ordained as a pastor, and then going to Japan as a missionary to help start a church/help one that's already developing.

    Astron felt his anger leave as the real truth came out. "Now, that wasn't so bad," He replied. "If you had told us that from the beginning, we could have worked to help you out." He smiled, glad that the situation was under control. "As for your barring, I can handle that. I am confident that they won't object to you coming as my guest."

    About that point, they reached the museum in it's bright alabaster glory. There was a gray earth pony in a ticket box, selling entrance tickets to the museum. Astron walked up, and requested, "Four tickets to the museum, my good man."

    The pony let his shock and awe at seeing the prince die down, and printed out four tickets. Astron handed the appropriate amount of gold to him, and turned towards the other two ponies and Scales, tickets in hoof. "There we go," he finished, handing one to each of them.

    Well, I'm a working brony, but I'm also a university brony. On my last semester actually. Although, seeing so many art, design, and computing ponies post kind of makes me hesitant to say my major, seeing as everypony here must be so super creative. But what the hay!

    I'm an East Asian Studies major focusing on Japanese language, literary, and cultural studies, while also minoring in Chinese Studies... Basically I like to people watch ^_^

    one thing i would like to point:
    the majority of complaints regarding this ep are based on the lack of char development, but, while i agree such thing is obviously welcome, we also have to, once again, remember the real target demography

    The target demographic is little girls and their parents.

    perhaps we are just trying to see way too deep on something that is not meant to be deep. ... that would just end making everything way too complicated for young kids to follow.

    You're selling kids too short, I think. Giving a character a personality isn't too much for kids to follow, nor is tying those characters into the plot.

    tl;dr: its a cartoon for Celestias sake, stop wasting your brain on it that way and just enjoy it.

    You've got 200 posts here. What have you been thinking about if not ponies?

    It a fansite for Faust's sake, stop fighting it and accept that taking it too seriously is the point.

    Besides, I've got brain to spare.

    The problem analysis at this level is that it will inevitably ruin the show for people. While yes, Faust has said that the show is made for little girls and their parents, don't get the order confused: it is for little girls first, and their parents second. Simply put, there is no need to include adult oriented content at that rate of consistency because the first priority is children. The show hasn't failed it's original purpose if every 18-25 year old male gets bored and stops watching, but it does fail if it doesn't appeal to children. And, believe it or not, to children, it wouldn't be enjoyable with consistent deeper ideas because of the style. Spike talking about why he loves working so much wouldn't be enjoyable, simply because he's drawn in a very cartoon style, and kids aren't interested in that depth, because they haven't experienced it yet. And on the other side, older viewers probably wouldn't enjoy it either, because that level of abstraction in art isn't good for deeper thoughts; it would be like Dora the Explorer having a service announcement on shoplifting. While we all may find that hilarious, we're not going to take it seriously because of the context, and unless the original intent was humor, the point is missed. I.E. Spike telling a story about Twilight saving his life and him becoming her attendant to make up for it wouldn't be appealing, at least at some level, to anyone. And while, no, giving characters backstories isn't going above their potential, it is going above their interest.

    And as for the "taking it to seriously" purpose; my opinion is that the purpose is for people who like the show to be able to socialize under the topic of the show. If it's overanalysis, a good chunk of the forum, myself included, won't fit in here at all.

    in Out of Character Discussion

    Posted

    This has been discussed slightly amongst some of us on the forum, but I wanted to make sure a fair amount of people will be involved. Basically, this RP will be an opportunity for all dragon characters to get involved deeper in the forum overall; members can deeper develop their characters, start relationships (in the friends term or otherwise) with other dragons, and basically just get the dragons here started. Any interest?

    Oh man, Brawler, I totally forgot about Pheonix Wright and Professor Layton, too. Awesome games.

    I'm far too much of a story gamer. I don't play games to blow things up and be awesome, I play games to get a story out of it. As such, I'm an absolute SUCKER for visual novel games and puzzle games with an overarching story.

    I was so upset when I found out that the sequel to Hotel Dusk wasn't being localized.

    Gonna get the Phoenix Wright and Professor Layton crossover?

    YES

    OH GOOD HEAVENS YES YOU HAVE NO IDEA I WILL GET THE JAPANESE VERSION IF IT IS NOT LOCALIZED

    Djemba looked up, oatmeal dotting her nose. She smiled, wiping it off with no real embarrasment, and replied, "Ha, you wish I was a secret chef. Then I could make you free food all the time. Unfortunately for you," she added, tapping his snout lightly with her hoof, "I'm just a drummer in a rock band."

    As they both finished their oatmeal, Djemba sighed with contentment, glad to finally have a full stomach. "Ah, nothing like a good breakfast to start the day!" She then took both of their bowls to the sink, for cleaning up later. "Now," she started, getting a mischievous look on her face, "What's say we get on that 'getting to know each other better', hm?"

    Mitsaragi glanced at the contraption put in front of him. He wasn't sure what to make of the situation, let alone the piece of metal. He wasn't sure why the pony was showing him the machine, and, quite frankly, he was frustrated at the lack of work he had done, so any level of logic about relations had gone out the window.

    "Ah, um, that's very nice. Did you make it yourself?" He picked it up with his magic and rotated it, looking at all the angles, more so out of politeness than actual interest.

    (So sorry, guys. This week has been crazy.)

    Astron's angry glare lessened slightly as the situation unfolded. It seemed like there was more going on than first told. He snorted a tad, letting out the frustration, and replied to Mudbug, "Well, let's let this unfold first. I feel like this may be more easily solved if we all speak our minds." Astron then turned to Klank, and continued. "Now, to reply to your question, no, I'm not familiar with said exhibit, but your mention of it leads me to believe that there's more to this than a lack of interest in the museum. Why don't you tell me what's really going on, and we can decide a route from there?"

    Scales sighed to himself. Joy, another long story.
