So I've decided to go back to making the designs in Forza. I'm still looking for a car that matches Twilight, RD, AJ, and Pinkie Pie. Suggestions?

The whole reason I stopped was because I didn't feel like working the money up to buy new cars, but I just started racing for the hell of it, so I figured I'd use the money for new cars.
 
I imagine Twilight being a long distance, heavy sort of GT capable of incredible spe-

Veyron.

Dash is more like an insane fast car, something a little more raw. I think a McLaren or the Koenigsegg CCGT, with a supercharger.

AJ is definitely some sort of muscle car, new or old. Your choice I suppose.

Pinkie pie is some sort of insane car, not fast, but simply a crazy little twit-box, if you'll ignore the negative connotations.
 
As for firearms (solid shot, not plasma weaponry,) I have the conception that they'd be either a shoulder-mounted or helmet-mounted device (more than likely shoulder,) with a bit used as the firing trigger. Weapon would likely have no grip, just the barrel, firing mechanism, and ammunition containment, with the bit coming from the area used as the trigger mechanism in a bipedal, handheld gun.

Clearing jams would be difficult, and the required motion with the bit would likely have to move the head out of the way on short-barreled weaponry on a "concealed" weapon. Longer range weaponry like rifles would extend past the head and have sights to look down. Missiles, MG, and Cannon would use a more tactile bit, probably a simple chomping motion after selecting the weapon to use. I suppose handguns (as described above) could also be mounted on the foreleg, which I suppose would make clearing jams easier, but would have the result of more difficult balance while aiming and firing on three legs.

A plasma/energy weapon might be the same thing, but look more like a unicorn's horn. ;3

Jim, I was going to make a joke about that post; but because I consider you a friend and I couldn't think of a way to write it that wasn't incessantly mean, I'll just say that that was already posted this morning.

Also I just realised something about fics that made me quite annoyed, although more than I should be. It was reading Fallout:Equestria and hearing the description of how the raider ponies held the gun in between their teeth and fired it with their tongue.

Now. Given that guns are obviously an integral part of the FE fanon, it makes sense that great thought be put into them. So why would a pony hold it with their teeth? The recoil would rip them out, not to mention the hot shells being ejected onto their gums, and the slider going back essentially down their throat. Firing a gun like that would be painful.

It hit me that the author must've put no thought into even considering that the guns would be pony-made. And therefore made to fit ponies, not humans. I'm unsure if other fics are guilty of this, and they probably are, but it strikes me as lazy that he basically wrote in human guns and gave the ponies an extraordinarily awkward way to fire them, (what about assault rifles and LMGs?)

That's not the worst thing. I've seen a few involving swordplay that mention how the swords are being held in the mouths (which seems like an odd thing to clarify in the first place, because in the show hooves are usually treated like human hands anyways).

Ignore the logistics of how a single parried attack would snap the jaw of both Ponies and break most of their teeth. Even ignore how stupid it would be to basically fight with a weapon sticking out of your face. Just think about how painful it is to see the authors describe the swordfights themselves as if a pony's neck has the same range of motion as a human arm.


There's one that handles it so badly that I really don't even like reading the story anymore, and I only continue to do so because it was the second ever story that I started reading and the concept is decent enough that I put up with it.

^^ Are you going to review and make recommendations for all those fanfics, that's commitment.

I started that thing knowing it was going to be a lot of work. I've already written about 20 or so. I'm not going to stop doing it now just because I got lazy and let a huge backlog form.



And I just realized that I never actually put a link to it so CoffeeGrunt could see it:

Fan Fic Artwork Gallery.
Fan Fic Recommendation List (I think you need to join the GTP Bronies forum group to see it).

More than any other Album I try to source the original pictures for that one, but I generally have no more success with it than I do the other ones, and my personal rules for attaching sources still apply.
 
I'd go with the Charger for AJ, but it's been done.
I know it'll be a muscle car, I'm just not sure which one.
I still really want to use the Shelby Daytona, but 10,000,000 is a little steep considering I just spent the last hour getting up to 113,000.

I'm holding off on AJ in the off chance I come across a Shelby Daytona or Cobra in the auction house that's within my price range.


I'll just save up the 350,000 for a CC8S for RD first.

Also, I want something with a long hood for Twilight.

And after this I might get a Dodge Ram or Saleen F150 for Big Macintosh.

Fixed. :3
 
So my friend put this together using the wallpapers from the ones posted on ED, in case anyone is interested.

Also, I sold the Aero because I want to make a new car and I am incredibly impatient. I still have the design saved, so if I ever buy another one I can still use it, but I'm working on the RD Koenigsegg now.
 
Well, I showed him a MAD clip "Night of the Pony". He doesn't answer my messages now xD
He was interested, when he saw my account and other's fan work.

Can't unhear.




Edit:
Twilight would be Fox, RD would obviously be Falco, Applejack would be Peppy, Fluttershy would be Slippy, and Pinkie would be ROB64... Rarity can be Krystal :D

Trixie would be Wolf, Gilda would be Leon, Luna would be Andrew, and Pigma can be a mass of Parasprites.

I was poking fun at myself. Don't worry about it.






I haven't mentioned how much I love this in at least two days, so here:



If MintBerryCrunch is going to keep talking about Gimme R.D., I'm going to keep talking about that.
 
Here you go, unit-one. If you don't like how I set up the icon for the XMB or have any questions about the software, just give a me a shout how you want it changed and I'll do it.

That's just the way that I set it up for my PSP because of my Super OCD, so it may not "fit in" with yours.

*[whispers]In the hypothetical case that it requires CFW, I recommend the use of the irshell 5.2(Google it), better file management and a couple of more options, also you didn't heard that from me.[/whispers]*
