About Myself: I love gaming. Whether it be online, single player, RTS, RPG, FPS, etc, I'm what you would call your "hardcore" gamer. Can't really blame me either; Dad was an IBM technician, and by the age of two and a half I was playing Super Mario World. I then traveled onward in the virtual world to Zelda, Diablo, Starcraft, Warcraft, Guild Wars, Team Fortress 2, and many other games. Currently, my favorite series is the Zelda series, the new Skyward Sword topping as my favorite out of the franchise.

My passion for gaming has lead me to follow the career path of a game designer, starting a business with a close friend and working hard to create our first game.

Geekiness aside, I also am a lifeguard, I enjoy fishing, reading, writing, and can walk on my hands!


How I found Canterlot.com: After becoming a fan of MLP:FiM, I really wanted to get into the series. I searched "My Little Pony Fansites" in Google and found a wiki that had a list. Canterlot.com was on the list, and I got excited; I love roleplaying and I love MLP, so this seemed to be the perfect combination!


How I became a fan of MLP:FiM: You can thank my significant other for introducing me to the series. I had heard of it before, but I never dared thought of watching *gasp!* My Little Pony! My friend and I couldn't understand why so many people were into a show who's target audience was far different than the mass of its fanbase. The funny thing is, my special someone didn't even ask me to watch the series. She only told me it was one of her favorite shows, so I figured I'd give it a chance to see why it was so great. To my surprise, I fell in love with the series. I've already watched all of Season One within a week, and I have just recently started on Season Two. I've decided to thank my significant other with a plushie of Rainbow Dash (her favorite pony), handmade too! I can't wait for it to arrive so I can give it to her. :)


My favourite main cast pony/s: Fluttershy
If I were a pony, what would I be like?

I'd definitely be a green unicorn, with a blonde tail/mane. I'd say I'm nearly a Stallion now, and my cutie mark would easily be a game controller (no brand specifically). If I had to hang out with one of the main ponies from the series, it'd definitely be Pinkie Pie, simply because she knows how to have fun. But I think my favorite is still Fluttershy; she's so cute and adorable!

I look forward to becoming involved with my fellow bronies and pegasisters! :)

Welcome to Canterlot! Oooh, a hard core gamer. Interesting stuff! So.... up for a game of Starcraft 2? I promise I'll go easy on you (maybe..) :P It is also really cool you are making a game with your awesome friend. Stuff like that is almost for sure going to turn out great! When you finish... could you do me a favor? Let me know what it is called so I can play! I'd love to, really! Anyways... Have fun here :D

Oh my... I didn't expect such a warm welcoming so quickly! If I wasn't sure before, I am now; I'm going to like it here :D

Thanks, Winter! :) Haha, I'll have to take you up on your "going easy" offer; I haven't played SC II in quite a while! You'll kick my flank right back to Bronze League, honest! But I'd be more than happy to go some rounds. As for the game developing... I wish I could say we're anywhere near completion, but we've got a lot to do before it'll be done. :P But, I will more than most definitely alert you when it is done (2-3 years from now :S...) It's going to be for the iPad, but it won't be a silly mini-game like Jetpack Joyride. We wanted to make a full blown RPG for the iPad since there really isn't that many on the market for it. It'll be 100% original and have at the very least 20 hours of gameplay. :D

Hi, welcome to Canterlot. :)

It's nice to see the moderators are kind enough to take time to welcome the newbies, and so quickly! Thanks, MyLittlePonyTales. Hope to see you around :)

welcome ta canterlot pally ^^ if ya need anythin lemme know :)

You have my gratitude, Shyshy! I'll be sure to ask if I have some questions and, don't worry, I will. :P

*GASP* NEW FRIEND! I shall name you Roo and you shall be my Roo and we shall be friends :D

What a coincidence! I was browsing some of the Roleplaying section before I decided to join and it was your thread (To Brave the Everfree) that I was looking at over in the Free Roleplay section. Small world afterall, huh? hehe :D And of course I will be your friend, CrescentBlaze! A Roo for you I shall be! :)

I used to be Diamond league, but I took a few months away and now I am stuck in Platinum. Ah, what fun :/ And 2-3 years I shall wait! It will be completely worth it, I am sure. I might even have an iPad by then!

Just kidding, I have one now! I bet I got you, too!

Apologies if my reply is short. I am on a mobile device at work, and I don't have the thumb coordination to type 90 WPM like I normally can.

That being said, thanks for the welcoming, Armory! I intend to be around to RP, hopefully on a regular basis. I'm quite new to pony RP though, so I'm going to have to do a lot of wiki'ing to make sure I know my facts. I definitely look forward to making my first pony though. I already have an idea of what to make :D

Blaze, I'd love to roleplay with you sometime. I have a lot to learn before I can rp on your level though :P

And Tales, what even is that picture from? Hehe.

I'm sorry, but Skyward Sword is not the best of Zelda. I've yet to see any Zelda surpass A Link in Time. After that its Majora's Mask for me, and then Skyward Sword (hey, it at least made my top 3).

I love RTS games, though I suck at them. I'm great at strategy, but only when I have time to develop it. RPGs are my favorite, especially those made by Atlus.

That said, I tried for lifeguard and got pretty far, but I failed the final test :(. That was a hard test, individually I could do it, but when they put me on the clock and had to do everything, I just didn't make it... You have my respect sir.

Welcome to Canterlot! I do so hope you enjoy it here!

I just Googled 'didgeridoo' (the instrument).

Rather interesting instrument O_o... I'm surprised I didn't know of it, being a composer and all :)

Argue as you may, I will simply stand my ground ;-) . Skyward Sword's graphics were the perfect embodiment of a Zelda game, and the combat immersed the gamer on a whole new level. It had some of the best characters (Ghirahim, Groose, Fi) and the story was fantastic because it told us how all of the Zelda norms (Reincarnations, Timeline, Origin of Master Sword) came to be.

Best. Zelda. Game. EVER! :D I will agree though that Link to the Past & Majora's Mask were freaking awesome as well.

I think I suffer from the same symptons; I love RTS but suck at them as well haha. RPGs and ARPG's are by far my favorite as well. Is it bad I've never heard of Atlus?

Lifeguarding, despite the appearance of the job, is quite difficult. Most people think we just sit on our rumps and yell at children and senile old men/women. But they are

Spinal injuries, ruptures, broken bones, heart attacks, seizures, and the like are NOT simple to deal with when under the pressure. I'm sorry you didn't make the job, though :-( . I thank you for your respect. <3

WELCOME TO CANTERLOT DIGGAROO *SQUEEZIES*

*Gasps for breath* Thank *HACK* you. * WHEEZE*

Welcome to canterlot, hope you have a good time :)

Already am, to be quite honest, but thank you! :D

Thanks! I think I want to stay here forever! Hehehe. :)

Welcome welcome welcome

A fine welcome to you

Welcome welcome welcome

I say how do you do?

Welcome welcome welcome

I say hip hip hurray

Welcome welcome welcome

to Canterlot today :D

That was awesome! It made me smile! :) Thanks for the rather poetic welcoming, DreamNotes!

EDIT: Sorry I missed your post, Rosewind! So many friendly ponies welcoming me it's hard to keep up!

Welcome! You're a gamer huh? What'd you think of E3 this year?

I unfortunately haven't had the time to look at E3. Between work (both Lifeguarding and game developing) and trying to squeeze in some downtime (which has been absurdly overtaken by MLP: FiM), I just haven't found the time to check out E3. I should probably get around to that, huh? :P

Welcome to canterlot bud. I'm Stonetribe, but the folks here often call me "Bugmaster" due to my affinity with all things arthropod related. If you like to learn and find yourself bored, come on down to my bug thread. I'm always doing little highlights about all kinds of intresting insects and spiders.

You are entitled to your opinions about Zelda, no matter how wrong I think they may be :P. I'm actually slightly blinded by nostalgia for MM. They are both great games, but I have a soft spot for MM.

As for Atlus... Most people know said company through the Persona series. I'm a fan of turn based RPGs, and Atlus makes some of the best. They also make some of the hardest RPGs. So they aren't for the feint of heart.

And for lifeguard... I know, my friend succeeded. People think its all like Baywatch, too bad they are so very wrong.
