The Thread About Ponies, Logistics and General Weirdness (And Gilda)TV

[Apok]

I've actually seen that list floating around already, but other than a quick reference I don't have much use for it.

Well the link won't be going anywhere if you happen to find a use for it.

 

[Tornado]

So, here's the cars I put together (I'll scrounge up some pictures as soon as Bob is done running the Dream Car Championship, but they aren't a patch on the Forza stuff being thrown around for obvious reasons so don't expect the world).

Twilight = Skyline GT-R V-spec II Nür (I considered making this an R35, but ultimately decided against it for reasons I can't really remember)
Applejack = Mustang V8 GT Coupe Premium
Dash = TVR Tamora (because feel free to insert your own Rainbow Crash joke. Also, it comes naturally in just the right shade of blue)
Pinkie Pie = Lancer Evolution X GSR P.P. (would you believe I didn't even notice the "P.P." bit until I was almost done with the car?)
Rarity = Merceded C 63 AMG (I had a tough call in deciding how to paint this one, and ultimately subverted my process that I used to paint all the other cars)
Fluttershy = Audi RS 6 Avant (I wasn't too sure what to do with Fluttershy. I had a couple of Standards that could have worked better, but I didn't want to do a Standard)


All tuned to near-as-makes-no-difference to 540 PP (though if I had to guess I would say the Mustang is probably the fastest).

 

[DK]

^ I can understand the choice for Twilight. She's geeky, the Skyline is (admittedly) a geeky car.

 

[Minty]

@Toro
Sounds good.



Anyway, I might choose the ACR Viper for Twilight in Forza.
It's OP, she's OP, it's got a single off-color stripe running the length of the car, she's got a 2 off-color stripes running the length of her mane.
They're perfect for each other.

Alright, I won't actually do that just because the ACR is way off balance in this game and I don't want to force people to use it to have the paint, but I'm still trying to figure something out. I'm still distracted by how awesome that S5S for Rarity is, and I'm having trouble thinking of other things now.

I may actually take an idea from Toro and use the Skyline, although I'm not sure what model of it.

EDIT: Just decided on a Corvette vs. Ford GT kind of thing with AJ and RD respectively....not too sure about it, so I'll hold off on that for a while, but I just wanted to put that out there.
EDIT: Never mind that last part, I'm using a CC8S for Dash unless I can find something more fitting.


EDIT:
I'm back and forth between the idea of a Golf or Beetle for Fluttershy. I know I want a small hatchback, and I'll probably go for the bug since it's less flashy then the Golf, but I was just hoping to get a second opinion.

EDIT: Going with a Lotus Elan for Fluttershy now, but if that doesn't look good, I'll just past what I make to something else and modify it accordingly.

 

[MercilessOne]

Fluttershy = Tesla Roadster
Rainbow Dash = X2010, or Zonda R

 

[Wiegert]

Fluttershy design on a fully modified Datsun 510 = Flutterrage!

You'll know what I mean if you ever decided to try it

 

[Minty]

Again, OP as hell.

I'm going with the Lotus Evora probably, mainly because I agree with Fluttershy=Tesla Roadster, but the Evora is the closest thing to it in FM3.


My post lacks pony:

A Ponyfied horse movie?

What sorcery is this?


Also, D'aawww.
Trixie and Twilight ponies are both best ponies.

 

[Akira AC]

Time to post ponies pics:

Drawfriends:

Too damn cute:

My fanfic third act idea:

(Except for Twilight,the other unknown pony,the abyss in the middle of the beams,and the beams,the rest its just the same idea,with more shipping of course)

Ponychan(dunno if SFW):

Made me laugh a bit:

Weird

Not sure if I want that kind of "love" from Fluttershy.
(you're going to (*puts on leather mask*) love me!!!)

And that is all about pics.

Apart from that,I read the second chapter of You Bet Your Flank and I have to say that massive tweaks went under it,welcome changes I have to say,it clearly shows that some work went into the after middle part (act 2 to 3,perhaps),and some changes to the end,welcome changes but it felt a bit awkward to read the new version(I manage to find some bits that changed substantially,for good of course,but I just don't remember ver.#1 anymore)

And finally,the GT5 car list its a bit difficult,specially to conserve RD as the Mustang,I was thinking more like:

*Rarity->White 458/Aston martin DB9/Maserati GT (or the Sauber C9,if you want to go that extreme)
*Rainbow dash->F430/Viper ACR/or the Zonda
*Applejack->Murcielago SV or the Charger
*Pinkie Pie->SLS(cupcakes!)
*Fluttershy->Cappuccino
*Twilight-> Dunno,LFA/GT-R perhaps
(which is even more unbalanced )

Having said that,I think the name that I forgot the most is Twilight(for some reason),And I will finish Arkham Asylum,its just awesome.

 

[MercilessOne]

Or Rainbow Dash is the Ferrari F2007 (#5). Because she's like the iceman Raikkonen. Always 20% cooler.

 

[Jim Prower]

Okay, give Rainbow Dash a Mustang? sure, it's great and all, but...

After the discovery by Twilight Sparkle of the true physical properties of Magic, it was found that devices could be made that could perform simple "spells" to make previously impossible things possible - among the innovations was Faster Than Light travel via "Teleportation," energy-based weaponry, antigravity devices, and special thrust engines capable of reliably operating in space without consuming large amounts of fuel and oxidizer.

Because of these new innovations, Equestria embarked on a great age of exploration. While Their Majesties, Princesses Celestia and Luna, had no foul intentions, they found that even settling on unincorporated planets with no sentients was frowned upon by other, more established races in the space race. After all, what business did a race of small, not very physically strong-looking, and, to be blunt, cute ponies have in the realm of interplanetary conquest?

It soon became blatantly clear that Equestria's interests at home and abroad needed to be protected. It was from this that the Mk. 1 "Pegasus" fighter was born. Over several, rapidly developed generations, the initial design was improved into the Mk. 7, seen here.

The Pegasus concept was based upon the Pegasus ponies themselves. When idle, in storage, the craft sits literally upon it's four main thrust engines, wings folded along its back. In flight, the engines tilt rearwards. Standoff rings allow the engines to start and idle while sitting against the floor, an addition to the Mk. 2 generation, as Mk. 1s tended to be hard to start and hard to handle on the ground without them.

The pilot lays on his or her stomach, on a special gee-couch. While this may seem uncomfortable to bipeds, the posture is natural for quadrupedal ponies, and many bipedal races find that the ponies can take turns that would make them black out. The couch has an internal oxygen supply, and serves as a jetpack in the event of ejection. Pilots wear an MCP spacesuit that completely covers their body in case they must leave the craft, and the suit directly straps to the couch, though many pilots need help strapping in. The suit does have a tail zipper so that ponies on base can let their tails out- they must have the tail stuffed into the suit for flight.

For armament, the Pegasus has four MagiBlaster energy projection cannons, as well as an internal missile bay that opens to launch missiles. The craft is also capable of shortrange FTL due to a "Teleportation Drive," which opens into an alternate dimension where travel time is shorter, similarly to a Hyperdrive. The craft does have aerodynamic control surfaces to assist in atmospheric flight, an advantage many craft don't have - if all four engines or the antigrav cut out, the pilot can glide in on aerodynamic flight as backup.

This particular craft, flown by veteran pilot Captain Rainbow "Crash" Dash, is "Rainboom's Revenge," a tribute to Capt. Dash's former, long-in-the-tooth Mk. 3, "Rainboom." "Rainboom" had a nasty reputation among mechanics, as Dash would often bring her back smoldering, often with one engine not working, due to her risky flying style - the only one in the end who would fix it would be a young filly by the name of Apple Bloom. "Rainboom" was destroyed in an initial battle with the canine-esque Caynids, and sadly had to be replaced by the newest Mk. 7 model. Dash was fond of her old craft, but is slowly growing attached to this craft as well. Of note is that she considers her conquest of Nightmare Moon as a "kill," and paints the navy-colored moon under her canopy as a tribute to what she considers the first victory of her long career - much to Princess Luna's chagrin.

EDIT: Didn't even notice that post, great job, Jim.


Anyway,

This was outstanding.
EDIT: I haven't listened to all of the videos in the ED Remix War, but this is my favorite of the ones I did.
I'll listen to the rest later.



Anyway, I've decided on the Lotus Evora for Fluttershy since it's the closest I can get to the Tesla in Forza.

 

[Tornado]

Next week's BMN has Winter Wrap Up.

Granted, I have no interest in watching either of the movies (and I probably won't watch Stare Master either), but Winter Wrap Up!





Edit: Somebody on another message board suggested I turn You Bet Your Flank into a revolving cast framing device a la The Vinyl Scratch Tapes. I will admit that the thought had crossed my mind as I was finishing up the second chapter, and I do have a couple ideas about how I could do it without using the same sabotage plot (You Bet Your Flank, Celebrity Edition anyone?). I'll keep everyone posted.

 

[Minty]

^That is awesome, but what are the movies that they'll be playing?

 

[Tornado]

Up and the sequel to the C-String Conan The Barbarian knock-off Deathstalker. I like Up, but was rather indifferent towards it; and Deathstalker II was so bad that I probably couldn't even watch it again, even if it did mean missing out on a bunch of Bronies riffing on it the whole time.

I only watched it the first time because I was drunk with my friends, we needed something to do, and a couple of us were under the assumption that it basically ended like a porno (I fell asleep before the ending, so I don't know how valid that is). It's actually a pretty funny movie from what I recall (which, due to inebriation, isn't that much admittedly), but my time could almost certainly be spent doing something more productive.







Edit: That Transformers thing from the other day? The thing I said broke the Awesometer? Screw that:

YESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYES
YESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYES
YESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYES

The comments at IMDB rightfully exploded over this one.

 

[Minty]

^What would a cutie mark be if you were just an extreme badass in every way?



Anyway,Brony Convention
This guy is my new favorite person....ever.

I'd buy these if I saw them.
Well, I doubt they fit my gigantic feet, so I probably wouldn't, but you get the point.

(image link)

Wait....they still used that old clip-art.

EDIT: Also, I've rediscovered my Minecraft obsession and spent the last 3 hours exploring Manehattan, Canterlot, and Baltimare on that server I posted about a while ago, so those cars may take longer than I expected..

 

[MercilessOne]

 

[Minty]

Can't. 🤬. Wait.

 

[Akira AC]

^^ That was...unnecessary...

OK my turn:

(This one seriously made me laugh,specially knowing the doujinshi tendencies)

And, going a bit off the normal rails...

@MintBerryCrunch
I usually use glasses that follow of the same colour,however my glasses have different shape, never made the association until I saw that pic.

@Toronado
That's an example of Awesometer destructor.

Apart from that,I could not care less about those movies,kick ass was something I didn't expected,the internet fuss about of that movie was huge,that's why I remember that and resorted to watch it,looking forward for the next movie event though(They should put Shaolin soccer,that one is really good or Kung Fu Hustle,I just love Stephen Chow movies,and they are perfect for BMN).

Finally,I wonder if ED will stay the way that it is,I seriously want to see an ED forum,its reaching 20 million views(according to my calculations on Thursday)and its a massive community to start some forums,apart from that,its kind of annoying to navigate through several pages with the same topic.

^I wonder when they will reach beta stages.

I would actually them go for a GTP style site if they did decide to make it into a forum.
And not just because it's what I'm use to, it actually fits well with how ED already works. Keep the news in one section and then a forum in another.

There are already pony dedicated forums out there, but I would love to see ED become one as well.

Anyway, it's 1:30 hereHoly hell it's 2:39 so I'm going to bed.

 

[MercilessOne]

 

[Akira AC]

Its an amazing story,how did I overlook this?,no surprise that Madmax did a cover for it:

 

[MercilessOne]

I'll read it later... just don't have time for these fanfics. Lots of good recommendations here. For now, I'm contemplating writing a review and a car/ticket guide for GT5 right now.

 

[Akira AC]

^have a go,is worth the effort(is really good,in fact,I was about to keep me away from fanfics this week,maybe I'll just do this one).

Having said that,I think I just ran out of sources,so:

ED comic:

Something else:

And:

With this montage that is so often that has become generic.

That's all,maybe later today I manage to get more time for ponies.

Goodnight.

 

[unit-one]

LoL, akiraacecombat went on dirty joke rampage.

That's pretty cool. Nice job!

So, this is the only one in service at the moment?

And Blue Angel didn't get a chance to fly this thing. She must be very sad, or very proud. I dunno =)

 

[Jim Prower]

It'd be a standard craft about 10-15 years into the future, depending on how quickly Twi gets on the artificial magic research, or in an alternate timeline. Probably less messy the alternate timeline way. X3

 

[unit-one]

^ What's your DA account name?

EDIT: I found you!

 

[Brend]

Oh god, forums on ED would be the best idea ever...someone should tell Sethisto. 👍 I'd defos sign up for that.

 

[Tornado]

Ha ha, yes.




I mean, yeah, the art for it sucks, but they still made it.

 

[Wiegert]

Well, it's just gone 3:00pm here, which means Friendship is Magic has finally arrived on TV in the UK. Needless to say, I'm pleased about this.

 

[GT5_X2010]

Well, it's just gone 3:00pm here, which means Friendship is Magic has finally arrived on TV in the UK. Needless to say, I'm pleased about this.

what TV channel? and is it on at 3pm everyday? I really want to watch this
