@Zarathh about the last boss in the last video game I played.
Well I play RTS games and they don't have any good distinct bosses what so ever in them so ima go farther back to Metroid fusion.

Well shit…I hope those ponies got some good Ice beams to destroy the Omega Metroid… I think Twilight will make up a spell of some sort.

You're getting the smaller RD for free or something? Because last time it wasn't there.

And it still lacks the CMC cape.

Not free, the creator had just run out of RD blue when I posted the first time so she hadn't made it yet. I had asked for a little Dashie doll like Scootaloo would have made for herself along the lines of this:

And the CMC cape is there…
Are you having trouble seeing from where you are?

I'm back, people, and I'm only slightly insane from the withdrawal. I'm gonna skip my contribution to you heretic scum suggesting Celestia isn't a powerful god-queen.

@Birthday chart thing:

Married to Spike.

I mind much less than I should.

@Zar with the villain in Ponyville pic:

The Moon Moth from Dark Souls.

RUN EVERYPONY! RUN!!!!!

@Pyro:

They should get Gaston and Saxton Hale to be the Old Spice guy at least once.

I would die.

@Deadparrot:

MFW:

Also, that Pinkielicious video is damn awesome.

@Popper:

>2012

>Not for the Republic
>Get on my level

@megalolzors

Oh shit, I thought it was just a still image when I originally saw it. Man, there is DEFINATELY a sexual element to that picture.

@Deadparrot

Tell the truth DeadParrot. It wasn't enough that you're getting a Dash plush and I'm not, you had to get a SECOND one just to spite me. Whatever man, I get closer to finishing the portal everyday, and soon you will understand what it means to have your jimmies rustled.

Okay, this is my goodbye for the week. I have to go to summer camp for all of next week. I'll be back next Saturday. I'm just giving you guys a heads up. I'll miss you all while I'm gone. So yeah, bye.

@Zarathh
What a coincidence. I'm going camping as well, though I'll only be gone for three days. I guess this will be the last thing I'll post for a while.
@last boss in a video game

I'm not to worried. I think they can handle it.

Uh… I don't remember the last boss I beat(sigh) I wish I could play more games again. Mabye Galacticus, so they are fucked I guess. Not much they can do, and the power of friendship won't mean shit to a guy who eats worlds.

i had a shitload of stuff i wanted to say, but i'm way too bored and tired to say any of it.
okay i lied, i'll get one thing out of the way.

Deadparrot, i read Tiny Wings and… i… oh fuck it, that was beautiful. for real, that was amazing. it was sweet, written really well with almost no spelling or grammar mistakes at all. not only was the pacing awesome and everything else, but you really spent time on being descriptive and actually painting the story in my mind. and of course the narrative itself was a great read and i enjoyed every moment of it, at least when i wasn't sad XD

i think Scootaloo should get some steampunk wings, that'd be awesome :D

@August
Scootaloo! To the sky!

Thanks for reading!
I did spend a whole lot of time on trying to make it as good as I could, so I really love hearing that people liked it!
(Why can't I stop watching that video you posted?! APPLEBLOOMAPPLEBLOOMAPPLEBLOOM!)

Holy crap!
This is a real game!

Download here: CLICK IT!
Only four relatively short levels, but damn it's fun!

Here's a game we can play. Say who your favorite pony is and describe them (briefly) in a way that makes them sound terrible.

Applejack: She kicks trees for a living.

Verbose, the most rabid Fluttershy fan ever wrote:

tl;dr

I’d be very surprised if there were half a million bronies worldwide.

And I still think that's far too low an estimate.

Mine would be closer to 1 million. And before you say "that's too big!", 1 million is fucking nothing in the grand scheme of things. Especially considering the combined population of the United States and Europe (the two regions with the largest concentration of ponies) and the sheer amount of content that the fandom produces.

It's either the fandom is larger than you estimate. Or it's uncharacteristically creative.

I’d assume it’s the same things as Narnia in “the Chronicles of Narnia”
The name “Narnia” applies to both the entire world and a country within it (the others being Archenland and Calmoren). I’d say the world is called “Equestria”, but the land of the ponies (bearing the same name) is merely a nation within it.

I think it's been mentioned that the actual country they live in is "The Kingdom of Canterlot"

@Brony population:

I'd estimate about 800k, to be honest. I wouldn't put it so low as to be immensely insignificant, even on the 'net, because we have a lot of saturation. We don't have a global domination level of effect, but we do have a lot of spread and notability. I wouldn't go as far to say multi-million, or even one million, to be honest, but we're damn close, and growing.

@Edan:

Celestia: She likes cake.

Also, I've gone so far in my fanboyism of Celestia that I founded a whole covenant based on helping others to PRAISE THE SUN!!!! If only I could be so gloriously incandescent.

I'd be very surprised if the brony population is less than a million. Ponies are everywhere on the internet, and one doesn't simply post/create pony stuff without being a brony. Not all bronies are vocal and active, imo most just lurk and visit EQD once a month or so at best.

Having that in mind 6mil unique visitors doesn't look all that far fetched. My estimate would be 1-5 million considering that some EQD visits were made by mistake or by trolls/non-bronies. 300k is just tiny, keeping in mind that most people just lurk and that US population alone is 1/3 billion.

The video description is suitably crazy as well.


all of my YES. seeing this after a day of absolute…frustration really soothes my jimmies.

and hello again, guys. finally got some time off from college work and whatnot. French class can be such a jimmy-rustler.

and it's official: the MLP:FiM article's comment section has gone into utter disaster. sigh
now i'm quite confident that the decision of jumping into the forums was a wise choice to make.

expect more posts from me later on tonight. (well, day over your side of the pond)

stay classy. :3

Ah, I love a challenge.

Rainbow Dash: She crashes more often than Derpy Hooves

@ Brony population:

5-6 million is waaaay too damn high. I'd put it somewhere between 500k and 1 mil.

So…about Pony General VI (it really did seem like Pony General V was going to be the last one.) I'm going to make a poll pretty soon with Google unless someone else decides to take it up. I may make a poll/or may ask people to shoot me a PM to make a suggestion.

That way, only people with a more vested interest in the thread can have a vote that counts. But then again, that would be unfair to people who (for whatever reason) just like to read our thoughts on Ponus and Broneis but don't post.
 
 
First off, I stole this list from Muffinator. Please go through and add more to that list, and I'll keep updating it until we need to pick a new thread title (which I can actually change whenever, so there's no real rush.)

KYM Pony General VI: Live free or Twi Hard
KYM Pony General VI: Pony General VI: Twilight has a well developed plot
KYM Pony General VI: Stay out of our shed
KYM Pony General Episode VI: Return of the Pony
KYM Pony General VI: Friendship, Unity, Caring, and Kindness
KYM Pony General VI: Know Your Pony
KYM Pony General VI: Never gonna say good-bye
Pony General VI: RandomMan Is Your God Now, Bring Him Your Virgins
Pony General VI: RandomMan’s Harem
Pony General VI: And May We All Bask In RandomMan’s Glory
Pony General VI: YES ANOTHER ONE, DEAL WITH IT
Pony Thread 6: >Implying We Talk About Ponies Here
Pony Thread 6 – Can’t Read My Pony Face P-P-Pony Face
Pony General VI: Because we needed another one

In addition, please suggest which way you'd like to pose voting: via PMs or on a poll.

I would also suggest being able to choose 3 in whatever poll. That way, you don't have to just pick one, and one that most like to some extent may be chosen.
 
And if someone else already has set-up a voting system, then please let me know. I don't mean to step on any toes.

… shut up! It's a flaw!

@New Thread Name
Still voting for Return of the Pony, though Twi Hard is a close second.
This is our last chance for a Star Wars reference, though!
It's too good to pass up!

@Ric, below
Yeah, Fluttershy is definitely the only land-pegasus.
*coughScootaloocough
Oh, excuse me!

@All
Is anyone arranging our 3rd weekly TF2 super-game, yet?
We can't break tradition now!

This is so adorable.

The absolute best part? "Rainbow Dash is a little crazy, and she shows off." She also states that fans of Dash must be also be show-offs.

I loled.


@Megalolzors

There's a group, apparently.


@Popper

We never did get that server working though, so we just invaded another one, as I recall.

I'm baaaaacccccckkkkk…..


@Megalolzors
I don't recall when the second one was…
But my first was last week. We started a server for the forum. It was a great showing.
If anyone has details, PM me.


Does anyone remember "Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic", the 2003 RPG that made Bioware…Bioware?
Anyway, when I wasn't doing stuff, I managed to find this:

I think it's pretty awesome.
For those who can't recall characters, here they are from left to right (by row)
1. Bastila Shan
2. Carth Onasi
2. female Revan (?)
3. Jolee Bindo
4. Juhani
5. Canderous Ordo
6. Mission Vao
7. Zaalbar
8. Darth Malak
9. HK-47
10. T3-M4

Has anyone else noticed that DJ-Pon3 was voted her official name, and yet overtime we all seem to have preferred taking to her as Vinyl Scratch? Not that I'm complaining.

@Popper

Fucking nostalgiagasm. KOTOR is in my top 3 favorite games of all time.

@Diabeetus inducing little girl

CUTENESS OVERLOAD

"Do you know Rainbow Dash?"

"She's a little crazy, and she shows off"

@Popper
Unless my memory is totally inventing things now, I think we had a very small version two weeks ago with only a couple people. Last week was definitely the big one. Someone had suggested making it a weekly event which sounded really fun!

@KOTOR
KOTOR kicks ass! Still one of m favorite twists in gaming history!

@Fifths
As I recall, DJ-PON3 only slightly beat out Vinyl Scratch in the original EQD poll which is what led to the whole stage name/real name thing in the first place. I've always preferred Vinyl because using numbers as letters has always bugged me. Not entirely sure why other people have largely made the switch, too, but I like it.
Not to mention, even Hasbro is using Vinyl Scratch now!

Here’s a game we can play. Say who your favorite pony is and describe them (briefly) in a way that makes them sound terrible.

HA.

HA HA.

And again, HA.

My favorite characters are Trixie and Chrysalis. Everyone is already fully aware of the fact that they're terrible.

please suggest which way you’d like to pose voting: via PMs or on a poll…(I’m going to make a poll pretty soon with Google…)

Voting via poll sounds the best to me, but if we have three votes, I would like to order my votes' priorities. I would vote for Episode VI or Stay Outta Our Shed three times before I'd vote for >Implying we talk about ponies once. Since I can't, I voted for "Implying…" because it seemed better than the other choices. Considering most people here have mentioned Episode VI, I'm wondering if there aren't others who find "Implying…" to be acceptable rather than great. Perhaps PM's would be better, and we could count top priority votes for three votes, second priority for two, and last choice as only a single vote. That way we could find the title most of us find to be the best, rather than one we all just kinda like.

Has anyone else noticed that DJ-Pon3 was voted her official name, and yet overtime we all seem to have preferred taking to her as Vinyl Scratch?

Actually, I believe the two names were nearly tied on the EQD poll, so they have both been official pretty much. I have been hearing Vinyl more often now, though that may just be KYM's preference. I imagine it may vary depending on where you hang out. Ponychan or /mlp might prefer DJ PON-3.

Theres a big KYM TF2 supergame?!

Occasionally, the members of the pony thread all get in a match together. Speaking of which, could we try for Saturday or Sunday? I have work throughout most of the weekdays. I still have college work and some moving to do, so there's no guarantee I'll have time. But I'll definitely be too busy during the week, and the weekend is the only chance I'll get.

Applejack: She kicks trees for a living.

Twilight Sparkle: she's been forever alone most of her life, and now she studies micro-sociology.
Vinyl Scratch: she listens to dubstep. (yeah I WENT THERE)
