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

[Tornado]

Big Mac's Big Adventure is like Macintosh glued to Five's Company. I half expect it to end with Big Mac being gay.


Edit: Nope. Ending was even funnier than that.

 

[Akira AC]

Quarter hundred million hits, that's impressive, specially when shipping fanfics are involved.

Also pics:

Human Rainbow Dash:

(should be other little filly, name, I cant remember, damn, dumb memory).

Awesome Rainbow Dash:

(repost probably)

And SpitDash, again:

(Dash's face is quite suggestive).

That's all, for now.

Completely serious question:

If Pinkie Pie owned a weaponized car, would it have lasers or flamethrowers on it?

 

[Racedude]

Flamethrowers. More brutal.

 

[CoffeeGrunt]

MAC guns, for badassery.

 

[Tornado]

Applejack's car is the one with the slug throwers.

Flamethrowers, is a bit more useful at the time of making cupcakes.

(*Finally beats AC:JA by himself, 🤬 yeah*)

Completely serious question:

Not Lasers. LAZORS.

Seriously, you expect her to have a car with something that's not an internet meme? geez.

 

[Minty]

How about laser throwers?

How would that work? No idea, but how does anything Pinkie Pie does make sense?

The lack of physical possibility is what makes Pinkie Pie so uniquely Pinkie Pie.

 

[Wiegert]

If Pinkie Pie owned a weaponized car, would it have lasers or flamethrowers on it?

Uh, both? Although if I had to choose between the two, I'd go with flamethrowers.

The car should obviously have a Pinkie Pie Launcher attached to the roof as well.

 

[Tornado]

I'm asking because I'm actually doing something with this information, which I should have mentioned in the beginning. My apologies.


Basically, lasers and flamethrowers are the only two weapons left to choose from, unless I went with a purely defensive setup (which I do have enough weapons left to pull off, but Fluttershy already fits that role better than Pinkie does).



Let me list it out:

• Dash: 1982 Ferrari 308 GTB. The only thing her car has is a mobile SDI weapons terminal (A.K.A. Orbital Friendship Beam). This obviously makes hers the most broken despite having no other weapons, but I'm working on a way to nerf it.
• Applejack: 1968 Ford Mustang GT fastback. Twin Browning M2 machine guns in the front and twin GAU-17/A miniguns on the roof.
• Fluttershy: 1970 Chevrolet El Camino. Twin-harpoon guns that fire mini-EMP devices in the front. Twin M252 Mortars with autoloading mechanism on top. Oil slick in the rear.
• Twilight: 1982 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. Twin harpoon guns that fire MJU 8 A/B countermeasure flares in the front. Twin ARM-9 Sidewinder launch platforms on the roof. MJU 8 A/B countermeasure flare launcher. Twin BLU-92/B land mine droppers in the rear.
• Rarity: 1959 Cadillac Eldorado. Twin FIM-92 Stinger launch platforms in the front. Twin LAU-61D/A Hydra rocket launchers on the roof.
• Big Mac: 1976 Mack R600. Twin GAU-17/A miniguns in the front, twin M242 Bushmaster autocannons on the roof. Twin BLU-92/B land mine droppers in the rear.

All painted and Cutie-Marked appropriately (well, about half of them are). I just ran into a problem with not being sure what to do with Pinkie Pie. I was thinking about an entirely fire-based system (4 platform-mounted M9A1-7 flamethrowers and twin Napalm spreaders, all mounted to either a 1969 Mini Cooper S or a 1932 Model B), but I forgot about the lasers so I wasn't sure. And yes, I will do pictures when I get them all done.

 

[Akira AC]

^ That actually sounds quite interesting, however I think that Pinkie fits best in the Model B, even its livery might fit.

Apart from that, I think Rarity should be an Aston Martin DB5 with laser beams, but that's just me.

No idea what are you up to though.

 

[DK]

I've just read Cupcakes. Some of your Brony comrades have vivid imaginations...

 

[CoffeeGrunt]

That they do...

Also what game is that in Toro? I want cars mitt gunz!

 

[Akira AC]

This Rarity is awesome:

(*Finishes The Boondocks season 1, moving into season 2, cool fighting scenes I must say*)

 

[CoffeeGrunt]

Nightmarity? Me gusta.

/Edit/

Well today was eventful. Time to cap it off and slog back to work the 'morrer. Good night everybody:

I love that pic. ^

 

[unit-one]

Made an art trade today with XxDaisy0127xX from Deviantart.

She made a flying Star Fighter icon/avatar.

I drew Mirage Moon. (her OC dressed for the Midnight Gala)

Original here.


good night

 

[Wiegert]

Very nice unit-one 👍


Anyway, I was bored earlier, so I went and used the Pony Creator so that I could finally make an OC pony of my own like unit-one's Star Fighter (Silver Arrow was just a quick one that I made while testing out the creator). I was going to make an Aphex Twin based pony because I knew what Cutie Mark I would use, but I decided against it in the end. Instead, I created this, seeing as I had the name, colour and Cutie Mark already planned out for it:

I still need to add the Cutie Mark and make a few other alterations, but I'll do that some other time.

 

[Tornado]

I gave the 308 GTB to Trixie instead (and I gave her all the lasers, because it seemed appropriate). That leaves me in a pickle:
Between a 1982 Datsun 280Z, a 1981 DeLorean (which I might not be able to use because of a glitch in the game, or else it would be a no-brainer for me to choose it), a 1969 Camaro Z/28 or a 1982 Porsche 930, which one is most "Rainbow Dash?"



I really want to use the DeLorean, but I need to see if I can hunt down the patch for the game or it won't let me edit the texture map for that car.

 

[Minty]

Well, I've got the money for the wheel now. So I'll order that tomorrow and do as much Macintosh reading as I can.

I need to finish that before the wheel shows up.


Oh, and great job with that drawing unit:tup:


Oh, and this:

Applejack just gained even more of my respect.


EDIT: Oh, and Toro, I'm looking forward to seeing what your cars end up looking like.

 

[Akira AC]

Here is my pic founding:

Quite cool actually, and now my perception of Derpy has dramatically changed, I seriously don't known what to think, but everytime I saw a related comic, it makes me laugh a bit more.

 

[Minty]

Was just looking through the gallery, when I found this.

It may be because my preceptions of things have been dramatically altered by this fandom, but my first thought wasn't "He's said because Rarity doesn't love him", but was instead "He's sad because Rarity died".

Confound these pony-fan-fictions, the drive me to sad thoughts.



Oh, and this:

This use to be badass to me, but after that moment in Macintosh, it is so unbelievably :censored:ing awesome that I can't even put into words how :censored:ing awesome it really is to me.

Seriously, when I was reading that moment in Macintosh when Big Mac dug his hooves into the ground, this is exactly what I was imaging.

It almost feels like this was drawn specifically for that fan-fic, before it was even written.

 

[T-Squared]

Past sins is very close to passing Macintosh as my favorite fanfic. Pretty sure the next update will push it on top or the fanfic pill for me though. And the extreme awwweee of Nyx has made her storm my top five.

MintBerryCrunch Firstly that is one badass username I really like the South Park series but also Did your pony curious friend decide to watch MLP yesterday?

 

[Minty]

MintBerryCrunch Firstly that is one badass username I really like the South Park series but also Did your pony curious friend decide to watch MLP yesterday?

Actually, he didn't come over yesterday, but today he saw the RD Sniper I set as my wallpaper again, and his only reaction was "Wow, that picture is badass". I think he might be getting close.

I don't like to try to get my friends to watch the show until I think they're open to it. If I try to spring the show on him like that toon soon he might just convince himself he doesn't like it and not give it a real chance. And if that happens I'm not sure I'll ever be able to convince him to watch it again.
I was able to just jump right in on trying to get my first 2 conversions because they both already enjoyed things like Pokemon.

I might post the episode playlist again on Facebook and see what happens. He's the kind of person I need to take this easy with or risk scarring him off of the show for good.




Oh, and about the username, I was surprised I was the first to take it, actually. I used to be IVKillerVI until I realized it was an awful name. I think I use to have something like 50 posts, but I just abandoned that profile when I decided I would use this forum for more than just GT5 news, and I wanted something memorable.

And every avatar I've ever had on this profile has had Mint Berry Crunch somewhere in it. I figure if I'm lucky enough to have the name I might as well take advantage of it.

Ahhhhhh.... Trying too do the same thing with my friend at the Moment he is a regular user of GTP and his 1st response to my Older RD avatar (1st MLP avatar) Why do you have that as your avatar (My amazing response: Why Not) then he blew it up with Kick-Ass (Chrome Extension) but now he doesn't mind my avatars I think I could change his mind of MLP with the power of Youtube Poop (Immature yet so funny) so we will see how that goes! He still thinks it's a show that only young girls could watch... But he likes Spongebob so he could like Pinkie Pie (there both very random)

 

[Tornado]

Past Sins is weird with me. Its practically flawless now, and it was already really damn good from the start. But I just don't "feel" it. Limited emotional connection with what is happening in the story. Like a really good movie that you know is really good, and you enjoy it, but you don't enjoy it nearly as much as you think you should based on what it is. My Top 5 are all stories that I really enjoyed and were all really good; but even though a couple of them aren't as good from a literary standpoint as Past Sins is, they hooked me to the extent that I was able to overlook their minor flaws. Past Sins I feel should be grabbing at me in that way, but its just not. Sometimes it does, but for the most part it just doesn't click.


And its not a delayed "I thought about it for a bit and it suddenly floored me" reaction like Sunset and The Empty Room caused. Most chapters of Past Sins just seem to hold me at arm's length, for some reason. I can't get beyond reading the story to actually get immersed in it.







In other news, Applejack's color is practically impossible to get right.

 

[Minty]

Yeah, just don't spam him with it, let his interest grow over time.

And just finding pony-related images that are relevant to his interests could eventually just peak his curiosity and he'll watch it on his own.

That's more along the lines of what I'm trying to do now. I'm just raising his curiosity until he seems ready, then I'll point out the episodes on YouTube directly to him.



Oh, and I have absolutely no idea why this made me laugh so hard.

EDIT: This thread, this thread is awesome.

I'm MintBronyCrunch in case that wasn't obvious.
Speaking of, MintBronyCrunch is the only name more awesome than MintBerryCrunch.

And after making this. I would pay unnecessary amounts of money to be able to use images in my signature here.

He noticed the MLP videos (Poops) I Favorited earlier today he didn't watch yet though

Also for your picture what the hell

And whats a car in GT5 that I can relate to Fluttershy?

 

[Minty]

1. I trimmed a lot of fat out of my singature and I think it looks much better.

2. I would give my right arm and left leg for this:

"Take all of my money" doesn't even begin to cover the amount of want.

Would I cuddle a Twilight plushy while I was laying in bed about to go to sleep? Absolutely, and I would announce it to the whole world on national TV if it meant having one.
