I actually just saw that question on one of the memebase sites only a couple hours ago, I just felt like saying that this makes it so much better.
EDIT:
Also, Extreme Language Warning
I love this.
Not sure if it's posted already, but I've checked the last 2 pages(40 posts per page) and didn't see it.
Anyway, it's late, I'm tired, so I'm going to sleep;
It got me thinking about a possible DLC for RB3,if it can be possible then consider me sold on that,also taking out the hideous video playback of the creepy 3D models and replacing it with actual footage of the show(the Japanese do this things all the time,for anime of course),I was also quite impress by this:
I personally really liked,apart from some details of course,and take an advice, don't try to follow the karaoke thing on you tube,you just end up like him:
Now,a couple of days back I was surfing through the massive list of fanfics posted in Ed and posted also in the recommendation section,found a couple of ones that weren't really my thing,but then I came across this fan fic,well this fanfic,unlike other fanfics took me by surprise,and unlike other fanfics it make me go from reading from the first one to the end in the break(two hours),the thing about it is that its really really good,in fact and personally the best fanfic that I've read thus far.
Allow me to elaborate,unlike TNTNE and TBoTS which are the only fanfics that I've read,with a bunch of single chapter stories(which are not as good as TNTNE or TBoTS),this story touch topics that everyone wanted to see,but in really interesting ways,I'll not go into much detail but if you haven't read it,read it,its really underrated and overlooked,so make yourselves a favour and go check it out.
Also a couple of things that I wanted to get out of my system after reading Psychology Series:
Well,actually I thought it is really good,I wasn't expected that kind of situation between Applejack,Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy,the outcome of that is really good(until lets say act 2),it really does show how they would behave when they are put at their limits(and bringing that kind of background to Fluttershy makes the story more interesting in later parts of the story),as for Pinkie pie,its portrait of getting hit by the depression caused by the routine of the party was pretty spot on,making it unhappy with its main happiness provider is something to be appreciated,I can keep talking about how AJ handle the situation between the RD and Fluttershy,and how it was the right action to make their elements of harmony act again each character,but as good as it can be there are complains(or whining if you want).
One of the main gripes that I got with that particular story,is that unlike TBoTS and TNTNE,it has some moments of inconsistency,one of the things that makes TBoTS and TNTNE good is that they maintain consistency(well as far as I read TNTNE chapter 6 I think,and TBoTS thus far),while Psychology Pony just fails in some key points,something that makes me really angry because I really liked how it was going(well at least until Rarity:Loss),the problem is that it has two mayor fails:
>Fail number one:Rarity's portrait of "mental instability",unlike the other characters Rarity doesn't get a good opposite of "Generosity",I do get that the author tried to make "Generosity" as the main enemy of Rarity,but is not right,not right in the way that it was developed incorrectly for Rarity,I get that the author tried to make about the same thing he did with Pinkie Pie but it doesn't work for Rarity,Rarity's personality allowed for a better story development,but damn I guess I don't decide the course of development for characters,which brings me to the next issue.
>Fail number two:The Bloody ending,just the last part with the small bits of a riddle,well the massive thing here is that Twilight serves as an "element of balance",balance=good for story,but that doesn't make it Jesus freaking Christ,fixing everything with just a couple of sentences and a quick realization isn't going to cut it out,not for the course of the story,they build up the moment for a great Twilight's intervention at the end,but it was to bland and simple that it doesn't make out for the rest of the story,I don't get this emotional with this sort of thing but the story was doing so fine(even with Rarity's thing) and then slap!!!,such as disappointment.
Regardless of that,I think that it was really really,good such a shame that it end up like that,but personally is my favourite one.
That is all,I just have to take it out of my system.

Issue number 3:
Madmax Comic:
A couple of obscure references,but I really liked this one.
Awfully complicated day today,so no time to catch up,today two issues regarding ponies:

So what do all you bronies think about the personalized plates that are starting to pop up on ED?
I'm seriously considering getting them. Some combinations are available where I live (the limit is 6 characters so only a few names are available).
There's more than what you might think, I probably should have reconsidered using Luna or Celestia after I had already started, they cover up a lot of the others.
I guess my computer is better than I though, but my old one wouldn't have been able to come close to this.
Here's the numbers:
Celestia: 75
Nightmare Moon: 75
Twilight: 75f
AJ: 375(300 came from after I removed the limiter)
RD: 375
Pinkie Pie: 75
Twilight: 75
Applebloom: 75
Rarity: 75
Fluttershy: 75
Surprisingly my CPU fell behind before my 4GB of ram, it only used 80% of my ram, and that's a weird coincidence because it means it would be able to handle about 20% more pony if the CPU held up. I could have kept going, but they started popping up as those blocks, and I had to take the screen cap before the covered the entire screen.
Going to try again now with 5,000 parasprites......I'll let you know how that turns out as soon as my computer recovers.
Not as good as the hand-drawn and hand-drawn-based stuff you made, but still good. I believe the background was drawn by you? I feel like by making it "less important looking" (more grayish) you made a nice emphasis on Star Fighter.
Yeah, you are 100% correct about everything.
I just needed a simple picture to show his body.
I'm not sure about the name though. I feel it's too "screaming"? I'd like to replace the "Fighter" with something else. What do you think?
I got some ideas.
Star Chaser
Star Shadow
Star Wind
Star Dust
Solo Wing
Well, I'm looking forward to someone making that a reality. Well, as a mod for the game anyway. The turrets also need the characters voices. That would be amazing.
Anyway, I decided not to go with parasprites because my PC can't handle creating more than 100 at once and I don't have enough time to do it 100 at a time, so I instead opted for:
G&PT: 300
Twilight: 300
Gummy: 100
Dr. Whooves: 100
AJ: 100
That's 800 ponies and 100 Gummys, and I could have continued if I had time. I'll try the parasprite thing when I get home.
And the reason I couldn't handle as many last time is because of all of the background processes, but this was after a fresh reboot.
Also, most of the user entered definitions on my Chrome browser are MLP related, just mentioned it because I just added "parasprite".
Today I'll make Lamborghini Gallardo LP 550-2 for Twilight Sparkle, but before I want to find out why the heck after duplicating my LP550-2 replica (originally it's LP 560-4) in NFS UC Save Editor the game thinks that these two cars are one (in garage they shows like two, but after changing the color of one of them the game shows both lambos with new color)...
Half of work is done. The only thing I have to do now is cutie mark.
And again I have to curse BlackBox - there is no 6-ended star in the game.
Also a couple of things that I wanted to get out of my system after reading Psychology Series:
>Fail number two:The Bloody ending,just the last part with the small bits of a riddle,well the massive thing here is that Twilight serves as an "element of balance",balance=good for story,but that doesn't make it Jesus freaking Christ,fixing everything with just a couple of sentences and a quick realization isn't going to cut it out,not for the course of the story,they build up the moment for a great Twilight's intervention at the end,but it was to bland and simple that it doesn't make out for the rest of the story,I don't get this emotional with this sort of thing but the story was doing so fine(even with Rarity's thing) and then slap!!!,such as disappointment.
Question: Did you read it before it was rewritten or after it was rewritten? Because the author went back and made some minor changes to it before the hub page was posted, and then after it was posted he went back and basically rewrote the second half of the last chapter entirely.
Layers:
Valentino Balboni base vinyls (black trunk and stripe) - 3 layers
Twilight Sparkle cutie mark - 11 layers
If somebody wants the save - I'll upload it.
^The Balboni Stripes combined with the colour of Twilight Sparkle's mane and tail looks pretty good I think, and you did a nice job with the Cutie Mark as well. Perhaps I could try making something similar to that in Forza 3.
I love this so much I don't even know how to react.
Also, this is making me miss my Forza 3 copy more and more. If I had it, I would have made a pony version with a cutie mark design for a whole bunch of cars already.
I'll probably just buy a new copy in a couple weeks when I get back from my vacation.
I've decided to make a ponified 2005 Gallardo in Forza 3, plus I'm adding whatever I can to the car so that I can turn it into a replica of the Balboni Gallardo (this is something that I considered doing last year by the way).
So far I've done the Drivetrain swap, added new wheels, increased the power to 550hp, painted the car in a similar colour to Twilight and added the Balboni Stripes along with various other vinyl layers. I'll leave the Cutie Mark for now though, I might finish it off tomorrow if I remember.
Image is from ED, my Google Chrome theme is 20% cooler(it's the Rainbow Dash theme is that was too subtle)
Also, I don't think this has been posted, but I actually watched it when it first came out yesterday, I just forgot to post it here, but I saw it on ED and figured I'd post it now:
