Weird here's my response to my question (My god, I'm talking to myself 0.o)

PREPARE FOR MASSIVE TL;DR

Twilight: World of Warcraft, Diablo, Skyrim, pretty much anything that is a complete time-hole.

For her patience, smarts and overall ability to cause the nerd-alarms to explode into high-pitched warnings, I see Twi as a huge RPG adventure gamer. Its not that hard for me to imagine her wearing a T-shirt that says "LEEROY JENKINS" at 2 AM, on a personally built computer with a 1920×1080 screen, back arched forward, sipping coffee, keyboard and mouse in hoof, giant surround sound headset perched atop her head, tapping the keys like a psychopath, trying to hold off the mistress of sleep long enough to squeeze out just one more quest to level up her lvl.23 Dark Elf Witch Doctor.

Rainbow: Call of Duty, Halo, the next giant generic shooter the internet hates, and the mainstream loves

Highly competitive, highly puerile, and the tomboyest tomboy you've ever met, Rainbow I imagine as a massive AAA shooter fan. With her ego the size of Molestia's butt, I see her doin' 360 cross-the-map no-scopes, getting collateral-wallbangs and teabagging the SHIT out of the poor twelve-year olds that bumble into her path of domination and humiliation.

Fuck story, deep plot (lol plot), and actually making sense. She's Rainbow Dash and she will kill you and your entire team on Xbox Live and get a nuke in TEN SECONDS FLAT.

Applejack: Angry Birds, Wii Sports, Farmville.

AJ, while she is competitive, I think she would place work and family above pwning n00bs.

She's just too practical a lady and too much of a workaholic to spend hours jumping platforms. Given she has a little sister that bubbling with energy, I expect her to have a small family iPad stacked with her family's high scores on Plants vs Zombies and a little ol' Wii logged with hours of Wii Sports that her friends accumulated.

Rarity: Minecraft, Team Hat-Collecting 2, Dance Central

Maybe its cause its her job to make fabulous things, spend hours accumulating outfits, and just be plain stunning but even after a hard day of being the greatest thing given to stalliondom, Rarity has to unwind.

Maybe completely tear the pentuple decker villa she made out of diamond just to replace it with a mansion that has three pools and a room made completely out of gold, sweet talk her way to getting those oh-so rare limited supply hats on a trading server or just dance like a maniac to "Maniac," Rarity just games to have fun and look damn good doing it.

That and she loves showing off the laptop she personally bedazzled with over 900 pinhead-sized diamonds and purple amethysts in magnificent heart design.

Fluttershy: Pokemon, Nintendogs

Given her shyness and loving nature, I don't see Fluttershy being the in-your-face try-hard that populates the RPG and FPS worlds. But with her seclusiveness, I can't fathom her being a casual gamer.

Maybe behind all the random food bags, lettuce containers and alfalfa pellets; Fluttershy secretly keeps a pink-and-yellow DS that only has two games.

One full of healthy, vibrant rattatas that everypony else would have just mindlessly rendered unconscious; a full flotilla of magikarp that would have been otherwise tossed back out to sea like garbage and not a single gym badge to her name (walking into a building where everyone just wants to beat your pokemon senseless is just too frightening for our butterscotch matriarch).

The other, bustling with the happy yelps and whines of fuzzy-wuzzy Labrador puppies just waiting for their mistress to throw their favorite frisbee, rub their cuddly bellies and show them all the love and affection her gooey caramel heart can usher forth.

Pinkie: I have no f*cking idea.

Maybe she would go toe-to-toe with giant orcs along Twi. Maybe she would run around like a maniac with only a flamethrower, ruining all of Rarity's carefully laid plans to get a Strange Revolver from a 14-year old colt that just hit puberty. Perhaps she would pwn tha shit out of some zombie ass with her army of vegetations. I don't know.

She's effing Pinkie Pie. All I know is she likes the happy, likes being with other ponies, and she makes logic, reason and the laws of existence her bitch.

If she ever gets tired of a game, she'll just somehow put herself in the game. How? F*cking Pinkie Pie science.

@badsitrep
Damn. After a post that epic, I won't even try to top it. Because I can't. I bow to you, master.

@badsitrep
Yep, she would be right with da orks alright!!

She looks so adorable right before she goes on a waaagh. :3

Alright you guys, the Synchtube will be tomorrow at 6:00 P.M CST. Before I forget, what episodes do you all want to watch?

@Mane 6 video game discussion

Twilight – She would most definately be the RPG type. Skyrim, MMORPGs, rogue-likes, anything with progression or stats. Obviously, this would fit her as she's the calculating, numerical type, but RPGs usually contain worlds with a deep lore set behind it, so it would appeal to her love for history as well.

Like Verbose said, she would also probably be into the turn based strategy games like Civ. She wouldn't be into RTS's because I don't think she'd be up to the constant decision-making found in them. She seems more like the kind to ponder things for a lengthy period of time and then take action.

Pinkie – Since Pinkie is the type that would want to do a whole range of activities, I imagine games with a wide range of things to do and no expectations on how or what order to pursue them in would fit her style. Thus, I think sandbox games like GTA, Just Cause 2 and Red Dead Redemption would be her ideal genre.

Rainbow – Games with fierce competition and low learning curves. I don't want to sound like I'm bashing on any FPS's (I've played a few in my time) but Rainbow isn't the patient kind to spend hours trying to learn how to play the game. Since the key basics to shooters is just "aim and shoot", this would be something she could jump into. Also, another trait of shooters is that the only thing that saves you is your own skill. Where if you die, it's because you weren't good/fast enough or you screwed up. Thus, she'd be into CoD and Halo, but I imagine she would enjoy Counterstrike as well.

She probably wouldn't enjoy TF2 that much because it requires a level of coordination.

Applejack – Everything that's been said has been said, so I won't bother.

Rarity – Games with a level of customization and character/plot development. She wouldn't be the one to play games for their gameplay as much as she would for the story. Thus, she might play some RPG's, but turn down the difficulty to the lowest level.

Unlike everyone else, I don't think she'd like TF2. She strongly prefers coordination over chaos, and TF2 is a game where explosions and sudden stabs in the back happen very frequently. She might like games similar to TTT (Trouble in Terrorist Town) in GMod though, where you must use your wits and persuasion to gain peoples trust to push them off a ledge, or to save your own skin (unfortunately, these games don't seem to be made anymore).

Thus, she might be the one to enjoy Assassin's Creed as well. The singleplayer contains that level of organizing the scene and preparing for the kill, while the multiplayer requires you to use your wits.

She might also enjoy creative mode in Minecraft.

Fluttershy – I would picture her as liking games like Farmville, minus the social aspect. Thus, games like Sims would fit her type.

She would also obviously enjoy Animal Crossing, where there is no such thing as failure and has a laid-back, calming gameplay style. She would like Pokemon for it's cute animals and simple (and mostly easy) gameplay, and for the same reason she would like Nintendogs.

@Zarathh

READ IT AND WEEP

I wouldn't mind the finale episodes, but I would like some Rarity episodes as well.

Also, if you need something to randomly select episodes with, here's this. It's what I've been using for all my synchtubes, and it could be handy for when you only have about 30 secs to pick an episode.

I'd pick a Scootaloo episode…

IF I HAD ONE!!!

Lesson Zero would be cool, too.

Just a heads up, DeadParrot, Funnyjunk doesn't let other sites embed their pics.

Alright guys, next week I'll be participating in this thread, so I'll have to change my username and avatar multiple times. Just giving you all a heads up. Feel free to participate if you so desire.
Unrelated;

@Zarathh
Same here, so I'll be changing my profile and whatever as well. OK?

Really, now?
I just found that through a Google search.
I didn't even pay attention to where it came from.
Oh, well…

Different source!

@Explosive Lasers

I actually know of a man back in Ireland who would do that. He'd take the piano in his van, set up, and just rock out on the fucker. Sometimes he'd make up to 500 euro a day doing that.

I'm giving out 10 billion points to anyone who gets this reference.

10 billion points, please!

Really, when you've spent something like 150 hours in that game, the songs get pretty hammered into your head.

That game is still my favorite game in existence. I have over 300 hours on one save, and I got the game in January. I love Fallout 3 so much. I got the GOTY edition for 12 bucks at Gamestop. Totally fucking worth it. I beat all the DLC on it, I have almost every special weapon, and a bunch of other crap. I shall state once again, this is the best game in existence.

Depending upon how you go about it, you can still use images from FunnyJunk. Just requires another set of steps. So if you think you'll use that image more than once…

You may want to try taking that URL and then uploading it to an image site like imgur or you can upload it to your own profile here on KYM. Go to your own image section, by clicking on the "Images" tab just above your wall. The URL should look like https://knowyourmeme.com/users/verbose/photos except it will say your actual username there. For Zarathh, it would be https://knowyourmeme.com/users/zarathh/photos.

Then you can click the red button that says "Add an image." From there, you can upload it to a specific entry or just to your own gallery. If you've uploaded any image to an entry, it will appear in your gallery regardless.

Once your have it on an image site, then you can just use the URL from there to embed your image, and

BAM.

You have your image from FunnyJunk. Again, it takes a minute or two, so you may only want to do it if it's something you think you'll want to have on hand.

Now for another of my favorited images.

Speaking of great video games, what are your favorite video games from your childhood? When I look back on my childhood, my favorite games were Super Smash Brothers Brawl, Spongebob Squarepants: Battle for Bikini Bottom, Star Wars Battlefront 2, Mario Cart Double Dash, and Super Mario Sunshine.
Edit: How could I forget about Pokemon Crystal, Emerald, Leaf Green and Pokemon Colosseum.
Relevant:

Megaman (1,2,3,5,9,10), Pokemon (Every Gen since Silver), Crash Bandicoot, Smash Bros, Mario (1,2,3) Kirby(Adventure, Amazing Mirror)
Those are the games I remember most fondly.

Don't worry Tim, I got this.

Before you ask, no, I don't have anything better to do, darn it.

@Tim

Seems your image redirected to the page it was on rather than the image itself. Let me try

[edit]

Dammit Dan, you Ninja.

Also favorite games from childhood? Descent, Duke Nukem 3D, Heretic. Or if we go way back: Commander Keen and Duke Nukem 1/2

@Favorite Games

Zelda Wind Waker
Zelda: Ocarina of time
Knights of the Old Republic 1

Now there were some games. Ocarina and Kotor I've played through close to five times on each, Wind Waker is probably closer to ten, and I've been thinking about doing another playthrough recently. As long as you've got me waxing all nostalgic like.

When I listen to that, I'm 12 years old again and happy.

Classic games?
Well, the first game I remember really putting effort into was Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past DX on the old GameBoy.
After that, I plunged way into Pokemon Blue and Red, then Yellow (Anyone remember the Pikachu surfing mini-game?).

I kinda lost interest in Pokemon when they kept adding another huge batch of new monsters every year or two.
The last ones I played were Gold and Silver, I think…

Now that think about it, considering the amount of gaming I do nowadays, I really didn't start all that early in life.
I had an NES and a Super NES with just a couple games each and didn't own another console until Xbox!
I didn't even play Ocarina of Time or Super Mario 3D until I got a Wii!

Replace OTPs with favourite vidya

Favorite childhood game? Kirby 64.

Favorite game of all time? Hands down Portal 2.

We're talking about personal video game favorites now?

It happens often enough around here of course.
My favorite game is probably Majora's Mask, of the Zelda franchise.

You know, if there were to ever be a big budget MLP game, I think the cartoony appearance of Zelda entries like Four Swords Adventures would mesh brilliantly with ponies. The fandom seems to produce a lot of side-scrollers and occasionally a fighting game, but I bet a decent top-down action-adventure game would go over well.

By the way, please don't use that ALtTP mod as an example of this idea. Simply replacing Link's sprite with Derpy's doesn't remotely qualify it as a pony game.

Congrats nerds, you've scared Rob over at Topless Robot.com

Hasbro's MLP SDCC exclusive, Derpy Hooves. If you don't know the story of Derpy Hooves -- well, consider yourself lucky, but if you need to know, just read this terrifyingly clinical Wikipage on the Derpy Hooves phenomenon on Know Your Meme

MFW>I haven't read the past few pages.

okay it turns out that i go down on Applejack….It could be worse….last time i got a lap dance from Discord..
MFW>

Video games? Let's see…
My first console was the original xbox, my favourite games were Star Wars: Battlefield 1 and 2 (Star Wars: Republic Commando was also really good).
Next I got a wii, Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2, wii arcade (or whatever they call it) version of Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine (because borrowing indefinitely from friends is fun), and the Rock Band games.
Then a PSP, the only games I really play on there are Patapon 1 – 3. Now those are some really entertaining games.
Lastly PC with Portal 1 and 2, Half-Life 1 and 2, Minecraft, and Team Fortress 2 (and Amnesia, of course).

Alright. Now I'm finally caught up after an hour of reading. Now about my favorite video games…Frankly i fell in love with HL2. I just love all the chaos and the combine killing in the game and the plot and story in it. Skyrim is one of my favorites because ever since i bought it i've been playing it non stop. Other than that i fell in love with fallout new vegas becasue of it's great storyline and the DLC in it. My favorite DLC has gotta be honest hearts by now. Other than that it would be TF2 and some pokemon games.

Reading about people starting their gaming experience on the Xbox makes me feel so damn old.

Wanna know what I started on? A 286 PC. Playing games that only had whopping 32 colors

Some of you here weren't even born when I played those games. My feels:

(I'm not even the oldest here. I bet Daniel Vazquez will come in here at any moment and tell me about Pong and Frogger on his first Atari)

Favorite games from my childhood?

Morrowind, Halo: Combat Evolved, Super Smash Bros. (the first), the Pokemon games, and some Digimon games I can't remember the names of.

@Burning:

Why, yes. I am proud that our website is being used for its sole purpose.

@Everybody else:

To get this thread back onto the topic of ponies, who is your favorite voice actor in the show? They're all fairly good, and have their own qualities, but some are better in different ways than others.

Personally, I like Tara Strong the most. She was one of my favorite VAs before MLP, too. She's generally rather kind, friendly, and has gotten involved with the bronies a bit. However, I'd say Tabitha St. Germain is slightly better at delivering lines. If solely from an acting standpoint, I'd say Tabitha is better, but I like Tara's openness to the fandom and all of that.

A lot of my favorite childhood games come from the Nintendo 64. Super Mario 64, Mario Kart 64, Star Fox 64, Donkey Kong 64, Ocarina of Time, Banjo Kazooie, Mario Party, Super Smash Bros., Star Wars Rouge Squadron, and many more I'm probably forgetting. Other old school games I like are Sonic CD, House of the Dead 2, Beyond Good and Evil, Grand Theft Auto San Andreas, and Kingdom Hearts I and II (PS2 is considered old school, right?). Currently, I like to play on the Wii and 360. For the Wii, I like to play Wii Sports, Wii Sports Resort, Super Smash Bros Brawl, Mario Kart Wii, and House of the Dead Overkill. On the 360, I like Red Dead Redemption, Batman Arkham Asylum and Arkham City, the Assassins Creed series, and the Gears of War series.

But my favorite game in recent years would have to be

I can't seem to find a lot of ponification of this game. Does anyone know where I can find some?

EDIT:
@ Explosive Lasers
My favorite voice actress is Tabitha St. Germain, though Tara Strong is good too. Heck, all the voice acting is great.

@Game discussion:
My favorite video games from when I was a kid? *deep breath* Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine, LoZ OOT, LoZ MM, LoZ Twilight Princess, the entire Sly Cooper series, the entire Ratchet and Clank Series, Star Wars Battlefront 1 and 2, Pokemon Emerald, Pokemon Ruby, Pokemon Sapphire, Pokemon Colosseum, Pokemon XD Gale of Darkness, Burnout 3 Takedown, Baulders Gate 1 and 2, Champions of Norrath, Champions Return to Arms, and some others that I can't remember as of right now.

Games I like to play currently? Battlefield 3, Dead Space 2, Red Dead Redemption, Bastion, Minecraft, Gears of War 3, Skyrim, Assassins Creed Revelations, RAGE, Bioshock 1 and 2, Dark Souls (I rarely play it, cause when I do I get hella frustrated), Halo Reach, and some others.

My favorite video game of all time? That's an easy one.

@Favorite voice actress:
I would probably say I like all of them, really. They're such nice people. If I had to pick a favorite one it would be Tara Strong for reasons that I cannot think of right now.

Have this too.

@Voice Actresses
That's a tough one…
I'd give different answers based on what we're calling 'best.'

In terms of fan involvement and all-around craziness, Tara definitely tops the list with her campaign to be involved in just about every aspect of bronydom.

The most fun actor to watch has been John de Lancie as his discovery, confusion with, acceptance of, and eventual embracing of the fans has been fully public throughout.

If we're talking raw voice talent, though, I'd have to give it to Tabitha St. Germaine.
Just go back and listen to Rarity's whining scene and tell me that's not expertly executed.
Every little squeak and pop works perfectly.

For me, this really is saying some thing as (brace for impact) Rarity is my least favorite of the main six. She's the best acted but least likable for me.

That said, all the actors and actresses are exceptionally talented and are large contributors to making the characters feel so alive.

Aside: BSoD brought up an interesting idea…
How old is everyone here?
I just turned 24 back in April so I have a feeling that I'm a little over the average. =)

I kinda still am a kid, so really my current favorite games are my favorites from my childhood. Though if you want to go back to like first grade or something, I always enjoyed Scooby Doo: Night of 1000 Frights…

Yes my early years sucked game wise.

Ashleigh Ball is by far my favorite voice actor. I just love her voice, plus, she is the ONLY voice actor on the show who does the singing voice for BOTH of her characters*. Every other actor has a vocal double for that stuff. That makes her awesome.

*Has Applejack ever had a song though? I can't remember her having one… But I'm sure Ashleigh could pull it off if she did.

@DeadParrot
I think except for Connor and maybe Cite (can't remember his age) I'm the youngest here at 16.

Not to take away any thunder from Zarathh's planned synchtube, but my friend and I are going to be watching all of season one in a synchtube starting in about two hours.
Here's the room if you wish to join.

As for ages, I'm 15 (and the youngest active user on this thread I believe; Colgate Romana was 14), and Cite is 16 according to opspe.

@DeadParrot:
I'm 15 years old.

I don't think I will make it to the synchtube later today because I am going to a good bye party in a bit and I just got back from my niece's Birthday party.
So have a gif of Derpy singing the words of a missionary:

Edit: Well I got to leave at 5:00 pm when right now is 2:51 pm….so I will be leaving right when it starts…
#First world problems.

Seriously? If you're not pullin' our leg, than dang, you're just a squirt. No offense.

In fact, most of you guys are probably younger than me.

>Buncha whippersnappers!

At least I'm a nineties kid.

So, favorite voice actor/actress? Andrea Libman, duh. If it weren't for that cute little voice of Fluttershy's, I might not have even started watching the show at all. They're all quite good, and I frequently state that superior voice acting is one of the things that makes FIM so awesome. I can't think of a single one that's ever been unpleasant to hear, except for Mulia Mild. But then, her character did manage to have an exceptionally redemptive scene.

Can I make a request? Lately, we've been straying from the topic of ponies. We've been talking about our favorite bands, video games, etc. I'm beginning to worry this is starting to turn from a pony thread into more of a hangout for bronies. So, I'm sorry to ask this, but can we please stay on topic?

@Games
Dammit, don't make me chose.
@Stargazer
Nah, I'm 16 as well.
@Connor
Cite is 18.
@Muffins
That's one reason I didn't bother to read the past 10 or so pages. Get your asses back on ponies.
@Acetone
Last time I checked, the damn title was Pony general, not Brony general. I believe some of the older posters (even older than me) discussed this back in IV.

@BSoD
Good… I thought I was the only one who felt old reading this. I grew up on the NES and the SNES. My childhood is wholly comprised of Star Fox on the SNES.

@Explosive Lasers
Tabithat St. Germain and Kathleen Barr have spectacular delivery. Despite being the element of generosity, half of Rarity's episodes are about her own selfishness, and I find that particularly annoying. Still, she's probably my second favorite from the mane six just because of Tabitha's work. And then there's Kathleen Barr. The Great and Powerful Trixie and Queen Chrysalis are my favorite characters for a reason. Aside from being some of the coolest looking characters, they also have some stellar voice-over work behind 'em.

Well, it's official everyone…
We're gay…

LINK FOR LEGIT-NESS

It's nice that we can be a beacon for tolerance, but the fact that it's Rainbow Dash, always Rainbow Dash, just because of her color scheme is a little annoying.

Hello people! I'm just your ordinary human, posting on an ordinary human website with my ordinary 10 fingers and 2 opposable thumbs. I hope you all will enjoy my presence here.

It is, but Muffins is right, the topics have been too random. The discussion of video games as they related to pony personalities made sense, whereas personal favorites, not so relevant.

It's possible to include both in one post if you really feel like it, but starting entire conversations that derail the thread is another matter.

@DeadParrot

Not only that, but isn't it a little unfair to both sides to equate being a brony to homosexuality? I don't appreciate that site's lumping everyone together like that.

@Lyra

Howdy. Don't mind Acetone, he's too suspicious.

Edit: Dang it Acetone, stop ghosting your posts.

Edit the sequel: Wow, the domain for the image of Waddle I posted earlier just went up for sale. How 'bout that.

Alright, back on the topic of ponies. If you could ask for one thing next season, and it became canon, what would it be?
