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

[Tornado]

All finished. I accidentally the whole clock:

Before (That "SNES Yellow" is also why I put the white undercoat on it):


In Progress:


After:










And despite being done and supposedly being in a position to be filled with glee, I'm exceedingly pissed off because it looks like Google wiped out almost all of the sources for the images in the gallery.

^We lost our G+! Just change the name to Chuck Jones, add a random pic of a guy or something.

EDIT: Done. Wait until they give it back to us.

Anyway, does anypony know why all the guitar tabs for Cutie Mark Crusaders are tuned a half step down? Actually, I think that puts it an octave lower. Might re-tab it with some additions.

Check out this, it has plenty of information about that song(midi and tabs for Guitar pro 5), I've been playing around with Guitar pro(which is kind of what you need to see the tabs), but I'll just stick with piano compositions, its the only thing that I sort of have an Idea.

^^^ That's awesome.

^^ That actually quite good, it looks way better than those silly wall watches that I saw in the Mall the other day, but is it paint, doesn't seem like it, is really difficult to notice but looks great.

It needs more Rarity though.

Trixie at 9'o clock - it's when Da Magics happen!
Good job Toro!

Sorry, I can't open that for some reason. It doesn't help that I'm technologically inept. So what kind of information is there, exactly?

And that's cool you do piano compositions, too. I was originally going to do one for the CMC Theme, but to be honest there just isn't enough substance. Unless I was going to do a full fledged classical version with a stupid amount of embellishments... no thanks.

 

[Minty]

This thread becomes a lot quieter when MintBerryCrunch, Coffegrunt and Wiegert are not around, not to mention the lack of the guys from Australia, apart from them, I wonder about the BronyCray's whereabouts.

Yay, people miss me when I'm gone

That clock.....do want....👍

^We lost our G+! Just change the name to Chuck Jones, add a random pic of a guy or something.

Yeah, I planned to do that this morning when I found out Google was dropping fake name accounts, and of course the day I decide to change it is the same day I'm busy and they just happen to get to us.

 

[Racedude]

We got it back. Just wait for the hell to cool down, and we'll change it back.

Want to know something cool? They also suspended Stephanie Germanotta. Who is that? Lady GaGa.

Google is going Gestapo on these "Real name" and "Common name" things.

Its a .rar file, in that folder there are 7 PDF with tabs for guitar(Guitar, Bass and piano AKA keyboard), those are the tabs, and a MIDI file to open with Guitar pro.

Apart from that, I do make piano compositions, I just hate guitars, everyone I know knows how to play properly, I don't, so there is some frustration from my part, however I do kind of know how to play the piano(keyboard or whatever, is the same thing), I actually intended to make an "Art of the Dress" piano cover with a Steinway, but the university wouldn't let me use their so beloved piano for such amazing song, still, it's been a while since I practice properly some maybe I need to make the thing in midi, then learn it on Synthesia to actually give a it a good go.

This also kind of let me down:

(There are a couple of extra notes, and sounds incredible, I cant match that).

And now that I think about it, yep, it is a bit bland, CMC doesn't get too much covers because of that, maybe some arrangements will do but meh, it could use an electric guitar play thought.

It is against their TOS. The site was created as a social network site to compete with Facebook, so it does make sense. I think we should just deal with the name we've got. At least until Google adds groups to Plus. I'm not entirely sure how they'll treat multiple offenders, so I think we should just play it safe to avoid losing the unlimited image storage.

 

[Racedude]

I understand, and agree with you. The only thing I don't get is why they suspend you if your name is uncommon. Like "Amias Reckonwith". Those are real names, yet Google bans them.

Oh wow and the files are actually written by Daniel Ingram? If so, I really gotta figure out how to open 'em! Still, I wouldn't mind finishing my own version now that I've started.

And how dare they! That would've been amazing, I'm sure. 👍 If you ever have the opportunity, check out Yamaha's digital pianos. Some of the best quality I've ever seen, and they work great for uploading. I'm still waiting for more piano or guitar solos to come around for entire songs.

 

[Minty]

That is strange about the Google Plus thing. Maybe they've just got some people moving through it really quick, and at first glance some rare names might seem fake. They'll probably sort it out after they finish the initial purge of fake names.

Still though, I think we should play it safe.



Anyway, I found this interesting:

Not sure if they are actually written by Daniel Ingram, I just downloaded them and they work fine, you just have to de-compress them.

Apart from that, the possibility of using a digital piano crossed through my mind, but nah, I wanted to do it in a special way, I'm yet to find a digital piano that can reproduce the sounds of a chord piano properly, and agreed the Yamaha pianos are the best, but I haven't seen that equipment in a while(now the come with USB cable and memory, wow).

Also, the songs are quite short, I've to see(rather hear) the songs for season two, I'm pretty sure that they will be more complex, like Winter Wrap up and Art of the Dress , which in my opinion, are indicated for this sort of thing.

 

[Minty]

I forgot to mention, but while I was at work a couple days ago, I read "Secret Tub of Fun".

Spoiler

I have to say that Twilight playing with toys in the bath tub is the single most adorable thing I have ever heard.

Oh, and if I hadn't know where the story came from, I would have expected something, much, much less innocent in that bag she kept her toys in.

Spoiler

"Oh no! Look out! It's Moonicron, aaaaaaaa!" screamed Twilight as the huge chunk of transforming plastic hovered over the tub. "Don't worry, I'll save you," she said in a lower voice as she shook a plastic submarine in the air, miming speech by dipping the nose up and down.

Spoiler

It's so adorable I lol'ed and squee'd in front of the people I work with while on break.

This was just a quick thing i read while I was at work on break, I'm still focused on Macintosh.

Seriously, just read it. The way it set's up everything just makes the ending all the better. And it's something you could knock out in maybe 10-20minutes.

True. I know what you mean about that unequaled sound of acoustic, but digital has gotten awfully close. What really draws me to digital is the ease of effect alteration, specifically with reverberation. If you're interested, check out some videos on youtube; Kyle Landry uses perfect settings in my opinion.

And yeah I have high hopes for the season two songs--not to say season one songs weren't amazing, of course. I'll check those files out later, hopefully they aren't tuned down (still don't see the purpose of that).

Poor Pinkie.

I just heard that, it is incredible, awfully close to the real thing, it still doesn't sound right, but damn, I have to get one of those.

Apart from that, pic time:

Octavia, why are you blushing?:

Speaking of guitars(kinda):

And some art for some minor character:

That is all, for now.

I've come up with a name for whenever I get around to working on some cars in Forza. I will call the Dodge Ram.....You ready for this?...Big MacinDodge.

Alright, G'night.

That story was short, quite cute though. I might give the others a read later on.
Did you notice that the author wrote a story for each of the mane 6 bar Applejack? I think she would need a bath the most, considering she's bucking trees all day.

 

[Akira AC]

Ok, time to last post, today my mind simply got distracted by my good old nemesis thread, I should avoid that thread before I screw it up as I usually do, it caused problems in the past, better focus my mind on ponies, yeah lets do that instead:

I have to play Shadow of the Colossus, that thing looks a bit like the thing from the last guardian:

Really cool AppleJack Wallpaper:

(Nice)

And, Rarity wallpaper is the best wall paper, obviously:

Also:

I've come up with a name for whenever I get around to working on some cars in Forza. I will call the Dodge Ram.....You ready for this?...Big MacinDodge.

Big MachinDodge, it might work, sound kind of catchy, And I also put that fanfic you recommend on my reading list, along with the other five I missed today.

Apart from that I must end up with Celestia, I'm getting lazy at this but I should warp this properly, because as it stands, , and I known that it will have terrible grammar.

That's all for today, I need some sleep to recover.

Goodnight everyone.

 

[Racedude]

I'm pretty sure only Gravekeeper, and maybe akiraacecombat will understand this:

FOREIGN AND VULGAR LANGUAGE WARNINGS



SPANIARD. BRONIES. ROCK.

I'll give the transcription later in the morning to the rest of you. For now, goodnight.

Edit: This post was too depressing. Have some badass Firefly instead!

^ I react in the same way with cupcakes (about 2 months after, not two hours).

Its an awkward feeling of realization, sometimes the mind doesn't realize or visualize a concept or action correctly, until you get your mind into a idle status ,then is when you realize of such things.
(Not to mention some things about the latest findings).

I guess that I will download that fic for some reading before setting up for work(I'm not sure if I'll be able to read that pile of fanfics I left out).

That's it, setting up for work, I'll be back in the afternoon.
**********************************************************

It turns out that today I was given the day off (paid day-off yay, systems are shut down because of an electric failure, funny enough plenty of people around here gets affected by electric failures, specially in the UK, today it was an electric peak that burned the fusible box, it has to be replaced along with some wiring, therefore no work until Monday).

Edit: pic time!!!

Nice Iphone background:

The cake is not a lie after all [/overused_internet_joke]

Cheer up plz Luna.

Or go into "evil" mode:

That's better, I think.

And that is all for now, time to play, then some fanfics.

 

[Minty]

Eplanation
I 🤬 love Colbert.

 

[Tornado]

Second person fanfics are fascinating. The few I've read are all garbage, of course (most of them being like dating sims with their shallowness), but I'm not entirely convinced that they have to be. They are obviously the ultimate extreme of self-insert, but I think that despite that it is still possible for a good tale to be spun from them.

 

[unit-one]

Hellow!

Two more night shifts at work and I'm going on a vacation! I'm not leaving anywhere though. Lots and lots of free time! Gotta finish my story before the world's end!

Ha, I don't think I want to post it on ED. People seem don't really like OC's. Also I don't think anyone ever wrote about this. Damn, I'm so excited! The ending is so hard to write/edit! Also, is it normal, that some chapters are long, the others are short? Anyone wants to help me edit?


best G-Mod pony pic ever.

EDIT:

August 4th: Update time!

I'm about 2k words from finishing part 15, which is a little frustrating because there's about 10k more words worth of stuff I want to fit in. Most of my time writing so far has been spent sketching out a rough idea of where I want the story to go, so actualy putting fingers to keyboard has been slow (well,except for my super sekrit notes file).

Starting on the 7th, I'm going to be going on vacation. This either means I will have a lot of relaxation time to work on TNTNE, or I will have no time between family stuff. I'll be gone till the 11th, so we'll see then.

MercilessOne
I went back to GameFAQs. I'm thinking of writing that GT5 ticket/car list guide and review and I've been putting off for a while.

 

[Minty]

I can't believe it took this long, but I saw this again and just now realized why it's Applejack in that jar instead of somepony else.

 

[CoffeeGrunt]

This thread becomes a lot quieter when MintBerryCrunch, Coffegrunt and Wiegert are not around,

Do feel want. But really, I just pour crap into my posts in all honesty.

All finished. I accidentally the whole clock:

The gelatin concentration in my body just pinged 100%.

Also bronydom I am disappoint, ain't a single other Atreyu or Skindred brony out there. 'Tis lonely with my musical and cartoon taste. Also I come back from work to find my DA inbox clogged with Pony Devwatch stuff. Well, I currently have One Final Effort playing, let's do this!
