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

What I said last night:

That's the only size available for that particular image as far as I know (1280 x 960).

Well, a larger version of that wallpaper has been created (1920 x 1080) and I've added it to the GTP Bronies image gallery.


Also, I wonder who/what is inside that box:

And this is the best way to become an Astronaut:

EDIT: Are there any GT5 races planned for later? I haven't heard much about it in the past day or so, I'm just wondering if it's going to happen.

Oh goody. It has been very impractical to have a wallpaper that makes me teary eyed every time I looked at it, but until now I didn't actually have anything to replace it with.

EDIT: Are there any GT5 races planned for later? I haven't heard much about it in the past day or so, I'm just wondering if it's going to happen.

I was going to throw up the room in a little over two hours, yeah.



I spent a ton of money on a car just so I can make a bad joke about it when I upload the pictures for the races later today. I'm totally psyched!

I also shut off the Voice Chat option for my lounge, so Personal BGM can be used. Just as a heads up.

 

[CoffeeGrunt]

Thought this was worth a mention, pretty damn good lip-synching.

 

[Tornado]

I almost think I should sit down and make up a keyboard macro for the

tag. I'm sure it will save me an awful lot of time typing in the long run.

I did this instead, because business:


A lot faster to do that than program a macro.








In other news, what are the "Profile Photos (Draft)" and "Scrapbook Photos" albums? Can I move them to the tail end of the gallery?

 

[CoffeeGrunt]

Oh God TF2 won't connect to the item loadout server.

I'm gunna have to stop procrastinating and write summore fanfic.

And in mode 3 it's the color and bold tags.

Now if only I could find the setting that makes FireFox display things in the text box as they'll appear on the site. It gets annoying sometimes.

OK, now it's starting to piss me off. Any idea how to turn this off? When I try to quote something or edit a post it doesn't show tags and instead shows the text in the colors it will be on the Forum. I tried playing with Java Script, but that only made things worse.

I don't see any reason not to move them. Pretty sure "Scrapbook" is pictures that are uploaded using the instant upload feature on Android, so that's completely useless. I'm not even sure you need to keep either of those folders.

Hey. I own a Logitech G510 and a Cooler Master Storm Inferno. I can assure you that it is pure laziness that keeps me from making a macro (also, something about how there are so many of them that I can't remember which one is which).

You mean WYSIWYG? That's an option in your GTPlanet control panel, under "Edit Options."

Thanks. I assumed it was FF since that never happened when I was using Chrome. Maybe the feature just doesn't work on Chrome.


Also, I have always loved this clip.



And about TNTNE 14, I'm not going to be able to read it right now. I've got to leave in about 30 minutes. I'll probably end up reading it once it gets on ED though.

 

[unit-one]

TNTNE part 14 is live!

I can't stay with you and discuss it (sister is using the PC) so I am downloading it to my PSP.

Oh, Celestia, I need snacks too!

You know, in the back of my mind I knew that was going to happen.

Though I always wait until it goes on ED, so meh.





The room is up for anyone interested.

 

[CoffeeGrunt]

Filly Zecora be cute.

TNTNE part 14 is live!

I won't be reading it now, I'll try to in a few hours though when I've got nothing else going on. God, I've waited this long for a new part to be uploaded, and then I pass the chance to read it as soon as it becomes available.

 

[Minty]

New ringtone? New ringtone.

 

[Tornado]

What's different about that one compared to the earlier one?

 

[Minty]

Sounds like it's got heavier Bass and a few other small changes, and there's some big changes in certain parts.

But I'm not sure. If there's not a difference I guess I just forgot how amazing the original was.

EDIT: There's definitely a difference. Go to about 56 seconds, in the original and the video I just posted.

 

[Tornado]

I'll investigate further a little later.





Three more chapters of Macintosh just went up.

Or two if you had sneaked in Chapter 6 yesterday like I did.

 

[CoffeeGrunt]

I wish I had editing software and abilities. I need to see the Halo 3 announce trailer with ponies. D:

Alright, depending on my work schedule for tomorrow and Monday, I might just spend most of the day catching up to that story.

Nice work BronyCray,however you went a bit mad with the length of it,feedback shows a bit more effectiveness on this one,and oddly enough I got interested until the very end,so I guess that is a good job,looking forward for episode 15 (A bit shorter than this one perhaps,fingers cross).

Well,time for pic:

These concepts still amaze me(well sometimes):

Yeah,I got to that point not long ago:

Gilda can be likeable,is just down to find a nice age for her:

([evillaughs]*Giant chicken-Lion thing arise from fandoom hate!!!*[/evillaughs])

That's all,for now.

[Tornado]

Big Mac defeats Trixie! Trixie graciously allows Big Mac to win. Story at 11.



Or whenever I get the pictures up.

 

[CoffeeGrunt]

Well I have someone reading out my fic on a mumble server. Worried anticipation...

 

[unit-one]

TNTNE Politeia

Another great chapter!

Spoiler

Things look very interesting! Dash and Sparkle made their decisions and devised some plans, while Rarity and Applejack stick with theirs. This might turn ugly if they will fight with each other. I wonder what's on Dash's mind, she went to see the Captain Dash. I'm glad that she's alive, but she got hit pretty hard.
Sadly, New Ponyville lost two more valuable members. They fought bravely. And death by fire is a gruesome way to go. The other pegasus might still be alive, but she lost her wing.
Dash beating the fire wielding pony beyond death was scary.
And the Warrant Officer got away...

Nightmare Moon suspects Trixie. She has thoughts, that Trixie might want to take her place on the throne, and she personally wants to see New Ponyville!

I did get slightly confused when the fight was going on. Had some trouble understanding who attacked who, but it's clear now.

Yeah, I just summed up the chapter here.

 

[CoffeeGrunt]

Maybe one day I'll read this TNTNE.

 

[unit-one]

^ you do that. I don't know why, but this story really got me.

 

[Tornado]

Some pictures:

Race One: Deep Forest Raceway. 450 Pony Points, Sports Hard Tires.



Race Two: The Top Gear Test Track. 450 Pony Points, Sports Hard Tires.


Race Three: Cape Ring. 540 Pony Points, Sports Soft Tires.



Race Four: Circuit de La Sarthe 2005. 540 Pony Points, Sports Soft Tires.

What the hell is happening here?

Well, apparently we just both managed to spin out under braking at basically the same spot in the track, but in opposite directions. It wasn't intentional in the least.
Nor was it (originally) intentional for Wiegert pull out that GT-R (which I nicknamed "Big Mac" immediately after seeing it and practically begged him to use it) for the race in the first place, though it ended up being pretty cool because of it. Mine had a lot more pep to it (and a redline 500 RPM higher), but it absolutely is not tuned for high speed stability. Which is partially why stuff like this happened.

 

[unit-one]

^ aw hay, I missed the race =(
Nice pictures. Who raced what?

But I uploaded a high resolution Trixie picture on my DA.

 

[Akira AC]

^^ seem like really good fun,I have to be able to get some free time,I specially like this bit:

(I got a black white GT-R that could match that race,or maybe the LFA,its been a while since the last time I played GT5)

Anyway,time for pics,I need to make some stuff so this will be something a little bit ahead of what I have planned:

Gilda deserves more love:

(Griffons have cuttiemarks?)

Classy Rarity is Awesome,in fact more awesome that certain Azure pony I don't want to name,but is highly overrated:

 

[unit-one]

I started to like Rarity more. I don't know why =) She was my least favorite pony, but now she's rivaling Applejack on the third place... wait what.

I don't know, but it wasn't intentional. We just both managed to spin out under braking at basically the same spot in the track, but in opposite directions.

It was as if my brakes just, well, failed. I knew where and when to brake, but the car just kept on going. At least that incident made for a pretty cool photo.

I was actually going to use the Ferrarity California for the final race, but after you pretty much begged me to use the GT-R instead, I think it was a much better idea to used that car due to it's higher top speed (although I didn't set the gear ratios correctly, thus making my car just that little bit slower than The Great and Powerful GT-R on the Mulsanne straight).

You know what, Big Mac actually came to mind when I used the red Holden Monaro in the second race, but no one else mentioned it at the time.


Anyway, part 14 of TNTNE, time to read it I think.

 

[Tornado]

^ aw hay, I missed the race =(
Nice pictures. Who raced what?

First race the S2000 was Brando, RX-7 was Wiegert, and I had the Brera TPE.
Second race the Monaro was Wiegert, Integra was Brando (who was only running Comfort Softs for some reason ), and I had the RX-7.
3rd race the LFA was Wiegert, Impreza was Brando, The Great and POWERFUL GT-R was me.

Final race dumped Brando out of the lobby literally 2 seconds before it started. Wiegert was driving Big Mac, I was driving The Great and POWERFUL GT-R.

Classy Rarity is Awesome,in fact more awesome that certain Azure pony I don't want to name,but is highly overrated:

You know, Rainbow Dash is actually more of a sky blue than an azure.


Though I actually found the perfect car for Rarity the other day. The Audi R8 Concept looks great in M.N.P. III, and more importantly, when you paint it the blade behind the cockpit stays white no matter what. I would have used it today, but it is a bit overpowered for what we were doing.

It was as if my brakes just, well, failed. I knew where and when to brake, but the car just kept on going. At least that incident made for a pretty cool photo.

When I watched the replay I made sure to see what was going on. You slammed on your brakes at about the same time I did, but for whatever reason the brakes only registered at something like 10% for nearly half a second when you did it. I can tell you, when I felt the rear on mine coming around I absolutely did not expect to ultimately find you deeper in the sandtrap than I was.
What happened to me is that I dumped a gear too many with my foot still on the gas, and it made the rear end come around just a touch before I hit the brakes.

I think it was a much better idea to used that car due to it's higher top speed (although I didn't set the gear ratios correctly, thus making my car just that little bit slower than The Great and Powerful GT-R on the Mulsanne straight).

It appeared to me that the gear ratios on both of ours were identical, but yours seemed to redline in the 7200-7500 range and mine went all the way to 8k.
That did explain my initial confusion about how I was cruising at 204-206 nearly the entire straight and you never got any closer, though.

You know what, Big Mac actually came to mind when I used the red Holden Monaro in the second race, but no one else mentioned it at the time.

I thought the same thing when I was taking the pictures, but I forgot it again by the time I got them on my computer.
