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

[Tornado]

I'm not surprised that the main bulk of the questions for this tumblr so far have been DerpyXDoctor related, even if the last episode hadn't been what it was, simply based on his artwork prior to starting the tumblr.

And, the piece de resistance:

It's true! CoffeeGrunt didn't ruin him.

 

[Brando-K]

Dat RD face.

I love this facial expression, it's so cute.

 

[Azure Flare]

Don't know if anyone saw this but, 115723.

My reaction:

(I think you already know this is going.)

 

[CoffeeGrunt]

Its where I started out posting when I first made ponies. I guess it won't really hurt if I stop posting there.
Its more of a habit thing than anything I guess. It used to be helpful, then it went neutral, and now its sporatically trolls.

I went there once, got critique on the first draft of I Won't See You Tonight that Seth then said was completely unnecessary and bloated the fic.

Never went back since.

I was going to make a joke here at the expense of Coffee.
Then I realized it would be too easy and far too mean.

Pfft, you guys do it all the time, anyway. xD

I never said Allegrezza was original or innovative, it's everyone else spreading those lies!

Also, I'm guessing most of you guys have already seen the best MLP opening:

Is that official? More to the point, why only in Italian? D:

And I really need to remember to read VST tomorrow.

Well, I got the whole day off, finished my housework, and ate a tub of Ben 'n' Jerry's...

Yeah, I'd better go read it, then. xD

Anyone else get the reference before reading the description?

I loved that episode.

Some WIP stuff. I need a different colour felt to finish Bon-Bon.

I love how you made them as a pair, i.e., the way God Faust intended.

It's true! CoffeeGrunt didn't ruin him.

My defeat, was merely a delay. For the time after VST reopened, when the Sons of AppleDash would spill each other's blood, no-one dared believe, believe that they even existed...

And when the truth finally dawns...it dawns in banter:

OCK-TAH SCRATCH!

Also, Makkon uploaded a "hacked together" song:


/Edit/

Soooo...VST:

Spoiler

Am I the only one who read Beauty's lines in Derpy's canon voice? xD

It just seems to fit so well in my head!

Anyway, I love Blueblood and Trixie's...not-so-successful debut. The interview with the Ensemble was also very entertaining, and was a nice look into the characters both individually and as a whole.

I was also, of course, pissing myself the whole way through it. I like the way you keep continuity with jokes throughout a chapter, and the fic as a whole. Pity Octy didn't offer Vinyl's accordion skills into the ensemble as well...

Also, Makkon uploaded a "hacked together" song:

Well if makkon says it's hacked together I guess I'll lower my expectations to ":censored:ing amazing" rather than "godly".

EDIT: God damn. That's what he calls hacked together?!



EDIT:

10,000 subs with only 8 videos. Is that some kind of record?

 

[Wiegert]

Is that official? More to the point, why only in Italian? D:

I'm not too sure. Some were saying that this was official at first, but now there are other who say it's fan made. Either way, that is a killer intro.

Also, Makkon uploaded a "hacked together" song:

Hacked together?

Okay, it's over 6 minutes long, it sounds like a Muse track that's been mashed together with Mexican and Arabian music styles, and it contains that Makkon level of epicness which is evident in many of his pieces. Can you imagine how this would sound if he put his best effort into it?

Soooo...VST:

Spoiler

I wasn't reading her lines in Derpy's canon voice. In my mind it sounded more akin to someone who is constantly trying to make themselves heard over the sound of an airliner taking off.

Also:

The guy who commented on this might be right. SierraEx appears to be Mysticalpha's apprentice, seeing as he has started to emulate his style (mainly the shading).

 

[CoreyWWilliams]

Pinkie and Deadpool, in the same place at the same time? This can only end well.

That is hilarious. I didn't even make the chimichanga connection to Deadpool. I want to believe that was an intention reference, but it's probably just a coincidence. If it isn't though, that is really freaking cool.

The Blueblood and Trixie parts are quickly becoming my favorite bits to write.

I'm glad you enjoy that. I always try to keep a coherent continuity, since I kind of dislike comedy shows or movies where something is established and is quickly forgotten as just a one-off joke. I think one of the best things you can do in comedic storytelling is have something that appears to be just a joke at first that actually ends up affecting the plot. I think two things I really love that do that very well are the Venture Brothers and anything written by Terry Pratchett.

Also, dammit, I really should have made an accordion joke >_<

That's actually a really good way to put it, XD

Oh hay'll, I forgot about the new guys. Better send 'em friend requests

Hail to the king baby!

Had to go to get vaccinated, couldn't stay on top much. I am NOT with the idea of a needle being jabbed into my skin.

8 bit Becoming Popular is great.

 

[Tornado]

And let me tell you:

This is a DAMN LIE!

Still not true.

EDIT:

Oh, you guys su-

*thud*

Aw, shame.

His last act was to warn outsiders of the strange goings-on in this thread by changing the title.

And this thread is all about Distribution Logistics

 

[Jim Prower]

So, apparently, Hasbro saw it fit to equip Pinkie Pie's RC car with the STRONGEST MODEL CAR ANTENNA IN THE WORLD. it's a spring of unnecessarily heavy-gauge piano wire, looks like. I actually managed to break the antenna lead to the circuit board before cutting the heart shape off the top of the antenna with a Dremel cutoff wheel.

I think I can honestly recommend this toy to 5-year-old girls who DESTROY EVERY TOY THEY OWN.

Otherwise, I'm waitin' on the XMODS Evo chassis to come in. Then, at least, Pinkie will have a car that's not COMPLETELY BORING. I'll probably submit it to EqD.

Also, Don Quixote

WHAT? PINKIE PIE? RC? STRONG? I never even would think to expect that. I guess they called for extreme measures, Pinkie Pie style.

Rarity's climbing up the favourite pony ladder.
Also HHHHHNNNNNNGGG!

Seriously, even at moderate RPM, this wire...at .72 mm thick...my Dremel took some doing just to get through the thing. I've never seen this before - granted, I've never taken apart a toy-grade other than my Air Hogs Hyperactives - but I dont' think my 27MHZ Mini-Z has this heavy of wire on its antenna. I KNOW the Losis I have arent' this heavy.

The rest of the car's pretty heftily built, too, I guess so it could go down a flight of stairs or something and not break. Strong plastic, not too brittle, really thick. I'm actually pretty impressed. Makes it a pain for re-purposing the body, but still impressive.

I might stick the antenna on my 2.4 GHZ Frog for the helluvit, just to see what people would say. and then I'd tell them where I got it.

 

[CoffeeGrunt]

Wow. I was expecting the official merch to be cheap, fragile tat. Gotta hand it to you, Hasbro, you may make it look crappy, but at least it's invulnerable...

Gotta stress test a Pinklestia one day. See if it really is an immortal abomination.

 

[Jim Prower]

Oh, the car's tough, Coffee. The problem is that it's slower than Tank. At least, on rechargeables. Alkalines might do better as they have higher voltage, but they also tend to drop voltage under load, so...meh. Better to leave it to a semi-hobby-grade chassis. (and I think the XMODS chassis might have more of a tendency to break than this thing ever will)

Still want a brain bucket for Pinkie, though. Too bad we don't have one of those awesome pony customizers on this forum.

 

[Epic B]

WHAT HAS THIS WORLD COME TO? We have grown men liking My Little Pony, an MLP RC car that for whatever reason is nearly indestructible without a drill, and a lot of other anomalies, oxymorons, and sense free things. Oh, how I love this eternal chaos. This is indeed the thread of general weirdness. Overpower ALL the making sense! Now, why doesn't all this come with chocolate rain?

 

[unit-one]

Happy Chinese New Year!

Wow, this thread regained it's awesomeness and coolness again. So much interesting stuff.

What do you suggest, a Gadget Show-style stress test (i.e. dropping it from a great height, setting it alight and strapping it to a rediculous amount of explosives?)

Or you could just smash it with a hammer. Never fails, apparently.

Oh, the car's tough, Coffee. The problem is that it's slower than Tank. At least, on rechargeables.

It... doesn't look as though it could break the sound barrier, no. Still, at least it's not some flimsy piece of rubbish that breaks as you're removing it from the packaging.
