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

[unit-one]

That's one of the things that confuses me the most.
I've never complained to the manager of a store that they carry a type of cheese that I don't like. I just walk past it and pick out what I do like.

Me too, but we do encounter such people, who complain about stuff.

Like these dudes i work with, they always bang Apple products (Ipad 'n stuff)
Day after day, nag-nag-nag... ugh! I can't stand it!
"Why not just shut up and talk about something you like!? I don't want to hear your complains 5 months straight!!" -I said.
They were quiet for a couple of days. But then this Ipad2 was released...

Robot Rainbowdash Attack

Pic VERY related.

Ponies ready to love and tolerate the HELL out of someone.

Lastly... we've all been here. Apparently so do the ponies.

 

[Terronium-12]

After everything was said and done, I think Fluttershy should distance herself from the animals for a bit.

She was chomping on a squirrel!

Portal 2 reference ftw.

 

[Jim Prower]

I like that space core, and, in an unrelated note, that inspired this pic. my friend did. (No ponies, mind you, still cute as hell.)

but, anyway, the hat does seem something of a variation on Longcat...

 

[Racedude]

*Trollestia sceince*

The only "Troll science" that I've ever found funny... Mostly due to it not being made with MS paint.

And more ponies:

 

[Minty]

I just copied all 26 episodes to my PS3 in HD. That's 11gb.

But I have to say even though I liked them the first time, they're so much more entertaining to watch on a big screen while laying back in a recliner, instead of hunched over in a computer chair.

 

[Jim Prower]

This over Netflix? If so, I must sign up...

 

[Racedude]

This over Netflix? If so, I must sign up...

I don't know, but they sell season 1 on iTunes for over $80 dollars.

 

[MercilessOne]

The crap thing is... I have exactly 11 GB on my PS3. Lol, nope.

That's what I get for being a GT5 photomode ho-bag. No ponies for me...

Quick question though: do PS3 HDs carry some kind of security wall, or encryption that prevents data transfer to another HD?

The thing is, I plan on getting a bigger HD and transferring all my stuff to that one. So I can watch ponies and store glorious car pics. And porn too, possibly that too. Possibly.


<_<

11GB? Man, the set on my PS3 is almost 18.

What is the A/V quality for them?

Quick question though: do PS3 HDs carry some kind of security wall, or encryption that prevents data transfer to another HD?

No. Just sync your trophies and manually backup all of your saves. Then use the Backup Utility to back up the hard drive to an external drive. Shut the system down and swap out the internal drive for the bigger one. Launch the backup manager and load the backup from the external hard drive. Your done.

If you have a Slim PS3, there is an extra step, but I don't know exactly what it is. There is a thread in the Console Gaming subforum that deals with it more in depth.

The thing is, I plan on getting a bigger HD and transferring all my stuff to that one. So I can watch ponies and store glorious car pics. And porn too, possibly that too. Possibly.

I hope they aren't all one and the same...

[MercilessOne]

Okay cool. I still have the original phatty. And what? Porn is art... sort of.

 

[Brando-K]

Okay cool. I still have the original phatty.

Me too. The first thing I did when I got it was to upgrade the HDD. I knew 80 gig wouldn't be enough, so now it's 320 gig.

And what? Porn is art... sort of.

According to DeviantART

 

[Wiegert]

Right, I've only just been able to get on my PS3 and I'm currently waiting for the latest update to download.

Anyway I was wondering, if you could choose your own Cutie mark, what would it be?

 

[MercilessOne]

That's a tough one. I'll have to get back to you on that later.


Also.

 

[Jim Prower]

According to DeviantART

So long as there's no *eherm* "Visible activity," apparently.

As for cutie mark...Probably the "We Love Cars" roundel. or the NISMO logo.

 

[Wiegert]

I should really choose mine then:

I'm a fan of 'The Twin', plus it seems like a plausible mark to have anyway.

 

[MercilessOne]

My cutie mark... hmmm... probably this.

Because it's infinity. Albeit, a more modern style infinity anyway. In other words... FOREEEEVVVVVEEEEERRRR!!! And it's one of my trademarks and names I use for pretty much everything.





Yeah yeah, I know, I went to far on that one. It's Sunday and I'm lounging. I've got nothing to do today really. Bleh.

 

[Wiegert]

Still needs more Derpy though, because 5 just isn't enough

 

[Racedude]

^I believe there's a SIXTH Derpy. Between the circled one in the middle and the yellow pony at the right.

 

[MercilessOne]

Derpy wins. She's Doctor Whoof's companion after all. Season 2 better have a great episode of her.

 

[Wiegert]

^I believe there's a SIXTH Derpy. Between the circled one in the middle and the yellow pony at the right.

Actually that Sixth Derpy isn't Derpy. It's a copy of the Purple Pony that you can see on the left side of the top cloud. Look closely at the body features of both Ponies and you will see the resemblance.

 

[Jim Prower]

Okay, guys, about to go to bed, want to see what you think of this that I just cooked up...

“…Mah apple trees! Five of the young ‘uns, right in the river last night!”
“Look, Applejack. I did what I could, alright? Storms like that are hard to control!”

Twilight Sparkle had just walked out the front of her library, onto soft, somewhat muddy ground. There’d been a nasty thunderstorm over Ponyville last night, but it still didn’t much explain why her friends Applejack and Rainbow Dash were arguing….

“Hey, guys,” Twilight asked, walking up to them. “What’s up?”
Applejack sent a glare to a frustrated, frazzled, and tired-looking Rainbow Dash.
“That storm last night, WAY off course! Too much rain on the slope beside th’ river! An’ those new trees we planted yesterday? Plop! Half ‘em right in the drink…”
Rainbow Dash snorted. “I did what I could, okay! I don’t know how to move big storms like that very well! And by the time the Air Force cloud handlers would have gotten there it would’ve been too late!”

She sighed, “I was up all night working that thing. I tried my hardest…”

“You know you should’ve called them anyway, Rainbow Dash…”

The voice wasn’t Twilight or Applejack…but a grand white horse with a unicorn’s horn, Pegasus wings, and a Rainbow-colored mane made of what seemed to be pure magic. It was, indeed, Princess Celestia.

“Your highness!” Twilight, the princess’s long-time pupil said, “It’s good to see you again!”
“Good to see you, too,” Celestia said, “But I’m here to talk with Rainbow Dash.”

‘Dash looked up at Celestia. “I…I tried my best…”
“You know you’re not rated to handle storms of that magnitude. Only military pegasus are. It was unfortunate that got away from our hands, but you should’ve let us know when it entered your sky…”
“Well…what was it supposed to do?” Rainbow Dash asked. “Just sit there and let it run over us?!”

Celestia sighed. “You have a point. That’s why I’ve arranged for you to be trained.”

The Rainbow-maned pegasus’s eyes went wide. “T-Trained?! You realize what happened to me during flight school, right?”
“That can be overlooked.” Celestia said. “It’s why I’m sending you to the Pegasus Carrier ESS Luna.”
“A N-NAVY Pegasus carrier?!”
“Yes, and…Ah, here she comes now…”

There was a tearing noise, and suddenly, low from over the tree-library where Twilight lived and studied, flew a streak of blue and yellow, a Pegasus flying close to the speed of sound. She pulled into a steep Immelman turn, then came quickly in for a landing right beside Rainbow Dash. She had dark blue fur, with a straw-yellow mane, and almost gold-colored eyes. Her cutie mark was a blue and gold shield, split across the middle an angle, with two images of Pegasuses flying. She stood straight and tall, wearing a yellow helmet, and regulation armbands with her rank upon them – Senior Lieutenant, an officer. She stood at attention, and saluted the Princess.

“Lieutenant Blue Angel reporting as ordered, Ma’am.” She rattled off, precisely.
‘Dash shook her head. Typical ramrod-straight military mumbo-jumbo…
Celestia returned the salute. “At ease, Lieutenant. I just wanted you to meet the civilian cloud handler you’ll be training. Rainbow Dash, this is Lieutenant Blue Angel, your instructor starting next week.”
Rainbow Dash was aghast. ”Next week! With all due respect, Your highness…”
“My word is final, Rainbow Dash. I’ll put Spitfire of the Wonderbolts on your station while you’re away during the three week training period. By that time, hopefully, you’ll be storm-rated…otherwise, I’ll have to assign a military Pegasus here for you to report to…”

‘Dash was speechless.

“Y-Yes ma’am.” She finally mustered. She glanced over at Blue Angel, who looked at her from beneath the visor of her helmet. ‘Dash did NOT like that patronizing look she got.

Alright, then…just gotta show stiffwings here I can handle this, learn some new tricks, and I’m golden. I mean, c’mon, I’m Equestria’s Best Young Flyer! I saved Wonderbolts 3, 5, and 6, AND Rarity! I got this!

As Celestia left, Blue Angel finally spoke to Rainbow Dash…

“Look, kid. I don’t want to take any guff from you, alright? You do just what I say. Your first order is to be present and presentable at 0800 sharp, on the deck of the ESS Luna.Not a minute late. Got it?”

‘Dash nodded, a grim, hard expression on her face, as her posture straightened. “Got it.” She said.

Blue Angel sent an unimpressed look, but was satisfied enough that she turned and left, leaving quite a gust of wind behind her.

“Well,” Twilight said, walking up. “I guess you’re gonna get your storm certs, huh?”

Rainbow Dash collapsed to the ground. “Why me!?”

TBC. And with no sex or morbid scenes. X3

 

[Racedude]

Actually that Sixth Derpy isn't Derpy. It's a copy of the Purple Pony that you can see on the left side of the top cloud. Look closely at the body features of both Ponies and you will see the resemblance.

Just said that because mane and eyes look yellowish. But a closer look to the tail suggests it is too fluffy to be Derpy's. You seem to be right. How bad, I wanted more Derpy.

 

[Tornado]

Remember that Derpy was also actually in the competition, so there were at least six in that scene even if they weren't all on screen. That's something, I guess.





Holy snap. There are going to be multi-part episodes in Season 2?! Probably.

Parallel Logic's Initial Question: Mr. Ingram,

I have a question regarding the résumé posted on your website:
http://danielingrammusic.com/sites/default/files/Ingram Credit List 2011.pdf
Under your current work is listed season 2: My Little Pony, Friendship is Magic, specifically that season 2 has 26 episodes. Fans of the show have been somewhat confused if this means there will be 26 episodes in the next season or if there will be 24 episodes as indicated by Top Draw Animation:
http://topdrawanimation.com/production.htm

It has been speculated that the season 2 details in your résumé may have been copied from season 1 without change, resulting in both seasons listed as having 26 episodes. However some have also postulated you may be closer to production than the source at Top Gun and know more about current production plans.

If you could help clarify this discrepancy, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your time,
A Fan

Daniel Ingrams Response: The Top Draw statistic is accurate, but so is my resume. Go figure.

Daniel

Parallel Logic's Second Question:-:Mr. Ingram,

Thank you for your reply, however I am still somewhat confused. Do you mean to say that season two has both 24 and 26 episodes? I'm afraid I don't see how this can be. Does this mean the number of episodes has not been determined yet? Or there are conflicting sources? Or there are two double-length episodes like the first two episodes of season one?

Thank you,
A Fan


Daniel Ingram's Response: Hahah... there's a solution to the riddle, and what I said in my original reply is entirely true. So keep guessing... see what the fan base comes up with.

Linky.

Seems like the most logical explanation to me.

 

[Minty]

Looks like were slowly creeping up on #1.


Anyway, my cutie mark?
Probably this:

I play too many video games for it to be anything else.
And since it's supposed to be a unique talent, I would say my ability to play well in just about any genre, on any system, with any controls, and with little practice counts. I'm just quick at picking things up when I play new games.

 

[Rykon Zero]

My cutie mark would be this: The Black Sun.

My destiny is to see logic, and break it into pieces.

 

[Wiegert]

Remember that Derpy was also actually in the competition, so there were at least six in that scene even if they weren't all on screen. That's something, I guess.

The picture was refering to the number of Derpys in that single scene, but yes there is the Derpy competitor to consider as well.

About the possibility of multi-part episodes in Season 2, I get the feeling that at the beginning of the series there will be a two-parter just like there was at the start of season 1. Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if this was the case.
