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

Oh yeah, I must read part 8 of Allegrezza, and why does the accompanying image have to change every time the story updates on EqD? I don't have a problem with it, it's just that I don't see the images for other fanfics get changed as often as they do for Allegrezza.

 

[Tornado]

Spoil-T, you need to remove about half of the stuff you put into that post, and you probably shouldn't leave the other half in there either. Seriously.

Because CoffeeGrunt is a horrible person.

If it weren't for that clapping image I would've had no reason to post that here.


That is a Cello, made of carbon god-damn fiber....that is just too cool.

Octavia plays the Double Bass!!!! AARRRRRGHDGSFHDGDFSHKFKDSGKFDJHKASDD!

 

[Racedude]

Here we go again!

 

[Minty]

Nope. Already settled, the tuning pegs prove it.

Octello, 'nuff said.

 

[Minty]

HAHA!

🤬 YES!

 

[Tornado]

Quick, someone PM White & Nerdy this important news!

 

[Minty]

I would love to see the look on his face if that was for GT5.

 

[Joel]

So.. Girl and I are dating, and she wants our first date to be watching MLP together. 🤬 yes.

My birthday was last friday, and for my birthday she bought me a Twilight Sparkle doll with Owlicious! Best birthday ever.

 

[unit-one]

HAHA!



🤬 YES!

Bookmarked that! I hope to see your work there too!

You are serious, right? Awesome!

 

[Ultraboy94]

Here you go. To celebrate FiM day, I've released a newer video of my current Doom project.



EDIT: Really sorry bout the quality of the video. It's the best I could do with what I had. :-/

A, it doesn't have a dedicated cover art yet,

...and B, I get bored easily. I like to mix it up a bit. My plan for EWZ is to change the cover art every chapter to whoever is being interviewed that chapter.

Because CoffeeGrunt is a horrible person.

Oh, and C...this.

*Ahem.* Bassello anyone?

Well there is plenty of awesome OctaScratch fan-art to choose from, so I can't blame you for wanting to change the cover art on a regular basis.

You know, I quite like that idea.

Until someone invents the Holodeck that is.

I think I've figured out my problem with story writing.

I'm a science person, and I always like:

1st: Showing off my work. I always like showing that I spent tons of time making sure everything makes sense and works. This is good in sparing quantities.

2nd: This is the root of my problems. I like quoting numbers, and comparing them. I keep having illogical and out of scale numbers because I'm 16 and I have no sense of scale.

So, I've remedied this by having a "No numbers" rule. I'm not quoting any statistic, for power levels or casualties, to make things seem rational. I think I've touched the first step on my way to mental victory.

 

[Spoil-t]

So I decided to talk to Cleverbot about Rainbow Dash.........

User: Rainbow Dash is the besy flier of all time!

Cleverbot: Do you like rainbow dash?

User: Yes, she's so AWESOME!

Cleverbot: Is Rainbow Dash awesome because she is 20% cooler than the other ponies?

User: Yes that's true.

Cleverbot: As you have said quite often. Buck up and give me variety.

User: When will I get my cutie mark?

Cleverbot: Never.

Indeed, I often trawl through the stuff to add it to my group anyhoo...

Honestly, you can't scientifically decrypt success like that. Can what you're doing, get a blank page, and write something that feels fun. All there appears to be to it. Allegrezza has zero clever thought beyond what comebacks I can give Vinyl to Octavia, yet it's intensely more popular than the Halo fic I laboured over for hours each chapter.

Just have fun writing it, and they'll have fun reading it. There's way too many serious or epic fics in this fandom, we need ore lighthearted and carefree reading!

...Who's the warranty with?

 

[Akira GT]

...Who's the warranty with?

1st Year is with the maker (Samsung) and the 2nd and 3rd years are with the store I bought it off (Harvey Noman)!

I'm not saying it will lead directly to success, I'm saying it'll be easier to write a good story if I ditch those elements.

I've just written the fifth rewrite of the prologue, so now I'll go ahead and write my happy, fluffy, light hearted story of insane silliness just for you, Coffee. I think a break from roboponies will be a good break.

 

[CoffeeGrunt]

Cool! I've never heard of that place, but sweet. They big in Ireland or summink?

Make it as light and fluffy as sponge cake!

 

[Rykon Zero]

Right now I've included the phrases "up at the crack of noon" and "study until her eyes are crossed."

I could play this tragic or fluffy, what with the story I'm planning. I'm going for fluffy as a bed made of cloud and as light as Dash's fluffy down. Which is also fluffy. Yay!

 

[CoffeeGrunt]

On topic due to Faust:

They'd easily be one of the biggest electronic retailers in Ireland... and their staff are so nice... this was supposed to cost me 490 but my Dad made a deal at 450

 

[CoffeeGrunt]

Attendant: "Right, that's the RV11 at 490, mate. Gimme a sec 'til I check on the till system to see if we have spare stock."

Customer: "Sure, I'll just wait here and stare at the token big-ass-high-spec-Panasonic-eye-massager here."

Till: RRP £450.

Attendant: "Ah, would you believe it! The price has been reduced by 40 since we put the tickets out...nobody tells us these things, heheh. Guess you can have it at that price rather than £490."

Exactly what I do at work. Customer walks away thinking the trading was forthright, and that gentleman was extremely nice in being so honest. Comes back later on for future purchases.

E.g., in the words of dear Fluttershy:


So make the most of it while you can!

Not like that.. my dad talked to the salesman about the situation with my Laptop and the man was kind enough to put a discount on it

 

[Jim Prower]

1: Dinky is a Colt.
2: Now I'm imagining Thorn as the callsign of a Kilrathi pilot in an Equestrian parody of Wing Commander. (and the wierd part is I've never played that game.)

Speaking of sci-fi franchises...

Oh, Cockatrice...

and for those who prefer Luna as a Heroine, have this bit of Epic...

and finally...Powerpuff Ponies?

 

[CoffeeGrunt]

Do you reckon Lauren Faust sits and squees at the love her work receives now, or simply takes it in her stride like a boss?

 

[Racedude]

Sudden Epiphany!

MLP: FiM first aired on 10/10/10! Many cultures consider prophetic or extremely lucky that day!

The beginning of an era, anypony?

 

[Minty]

If I could hire a real artist to custom paint my Porsche wheel like that, I'm not sure I'd say no.

Or go all out, paint the main body of the wheel the color of Twilight's coat, paint the leather rim the color of her tail, and have the metal band in the top center painted pink. Then get her Cutie Mark made out of metal, and embed it in the face of the wheel where the Porsche emblem is.

And on top of all of that I could

 

[Tornado]

I am fighting the urge to do something similar to one of my spare Gennys. I have tons of orange paint in my garage, plus nearly a full can of the stuff I used on the Trixie clock.
