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

[Tornado]

S'Uhh no... err... I umm. Deleted them! Yes, I deleted them all.'

 

[Minty]

At both parts of that post.

 

[Apok]

Isn't the screen on the iPod Classic like very small... But couldn't you load up the episode for that person... Or better yet tell him to get his own iPod

Well when the episode would end they'd go and search for episodes.
And when you go to the main menu and scroll to the videos tab it shows a still from a random video on the right and that's quite visible.

And I'd love to tell them to get their own iPod, but I only like looking like a jerk on the internet... at times.

 

[CoffeeGrunt]

Edit: Good god those two sure do drink a lot, don't they? Perhaps not Ballad levels, but still.

Oh, I didn't want them drinking that much! But yeh, dem Pan-Equestrian Gargle Blasters are nuclear yo.

Get smashed on Pear Stagners, stumble back to Octavia's place, start drinking the strongest in her liqueur cupboard. I wouldn't really call those two heavy drinkers

I think I've had two nights like that in my entire life so far...but they were my best nights in my entire life so far. XD

I said I wouldn't, but I gave Equestria War Z a look. Looks like its getting off to a good start, though I'm cautious about it.

If it puts you at ease, I don't plan any crash courses in equine internal anatomy. It's about the same grimdark tier as Gods and Demons, mainly just that I don't think many ponies would go into real detail over something so traumatising.

Also, Google Chrome keeps trying to Americanise my words with "Zs," I'm actually having to retrain it using Add to Dictionary.

 

[Rykon Zero]

Wrote the second chapter to my story! I need to first off, go over it tomorrow to see how good it is, then wait of Unit-one to draw me a picture in case I need to change bits of my story. It's a nice length now, and it involves Luna in socks! Yay!

Hurry up!

No offense intended, I just know very little about British culture, but: Why you Britons have such a problem with globalization of the English language?
I mean, I understand the thing with people mixing up "your" and "you're", and such.
But I don't get the problem with saying "Shopping cart" instead of "Shopping trolley" or terms like "24/7" instead of "All day, seven days a week".

 

[Apok]

I'm not british myself, but I can see where he's coming from. Globalization is fine. I haven't seen anyone telling others they shouldn't use americanized words on the internet or such, but if a program told me something I spelled was wrong just because it's a different type of the language (but still correct) I'd be annoyed.

 

[Brando-K]

Aaaaagh, I mean, ahem, good morning.

Toro, that PDF is only at chapter 5. Coffee has made 11 or 12 chapters in his story.

@Racedude, The US spelling makes it hard to teach in countries like England and Australia where our spelling is different. Mainly because so much content comes from the states and not from here or England.

Oh well, it's just that in the "What grinds your gears" thread I see Brits complaining about it, CoffeeGrunt has done it a couple times and even the BBC made an article filled with testimonies of people over there complaining of Americanizations, so it made me curious.
At least is not like in Spanish where half of the grammar (orthography is almost the same always) changes from one region to another.

 

[Tornado]

ED Chapter 5 = DA Chapter 10 + Chapter 11.

CoffeeGrunt consolidates them before he uploads them to ED, and the one MaximilianVeers uploads are based on the ED versions.

 

[CoffeeGrunt]

Yeh, an ED chapter is two DA chapters due to length.

Also, who's MaximillianVeers? I've heard that name before.

But I don't get the problem with saying "Shopping cart" instead of "Shopping trolley" or terms like "24/7" instead of "All day, seven days a week".

It's not that I have a particular problem with Americanisms, it's just that American programs take American English as the only English. So when I proof-read my posts to check for spelling errors, half of it is highlighted because I put an S where they say a Z should be.

Also, if I use Americanisms in exams, I fail because they count as mis-spelling, I don't particularly see how English is so complex to some people, but then, I don't know any Spanish at all. I have no problem with Americans streamlining the language, just that it seems almost stereotypical that some see American English as the English.

/Edit/

Anyway, before I start ranting anymore, I better head off to sleep. Was a nice day, both EWZ and Allegrezza Five were received well:

/Edit2/

Atom-bomb:

 

[Akira GT]

I just noticed something... I think i'm one of the only Bronies that doesn't have a sleep or wake up picture... It'll probably stay that way too..

EDIT: I really dislike when people used ponified titles for their PMV's because it makes it really difficult for me find out if a certain song I want to use has already had a PMV made for it

 

[Apok]

I use that GTPony one I drew as a sleep picture when I remember. Don't have a wake up picture. Mostly because if I posted it when I wake up I wouldn't post for another 8 or so hours due to school.

 

[Brando-K]

That makes sense. I thought that you had written more than that though. I guess I'll just have to wait for you to write more now.
Or I could read EWZ... I do that later.

Off to work now.

Oh, no problem. I was just curious.

Also, if you want to know how much of an issue (well not an issue, but it's a bit more complicated) is to talk with a foreigner, I'll show you an example:

¿Como estas?
¿Como tú estas?
¿Como estas tú?
¿Como estáis?
¿Como estas vos?
¿Como vos estáis?

As you see, we have a little more of a problem than just "S or Z" or "~our vs. ~or".

[Jim Prower]

Actually that's...kind of a fitting, humiliating punishment.

"Okay, not so bad now, are you? Yeah, you're now Decoration."

and then you lie in wait for millennia for three stupid kids to come along and get into a hoof-fight over what you are.

 

[Wiegert]

I have my own idea about what will happen to Discord at the end of the next episode, and it doesn't involve being turned into a garden ornament or being banished to the Moon either.

Or I could read EWZ... I do that later.

Do I have anything else to do right now? Hmm, not really. Guess I should finally give EWZ a look now then.

[Tornado]

EWZ isn't that bad yet. That is to say, it is a zombie story and one that is about what you would expect from a WWZ crossover in terms of violence and death, but it hasn't yet crossed The Line.









Someone colored this. 20% better:

 

[Minty]

I miss David Tennant. The new guys alright, and I still like the show, but Tennant was just awesome.


Sorry, wrong show. Um.....

One does not simply dash into Mordor.



Aw snap.

Something so evil has never inspired so much d'awww.

 

[Tornado]

How evil is Discord, exactly? That's been something I've been wondering about since Monday.


From what we've seen, he's certainly not anywhere near Nightmare Moon's attempt at intentional global genocide, and I can't see how that would change with S2E2.

 

[Minty]

Not sure if evil, or just a bored nearly-all-powerful troll.


I was actually thinking about that as I typed that. I guess we won't know until he's faced with defeat in the next episode. I mean, right now it almost seems like he's just toying with them. But I can't tell if he's toying with them just for the sake of trolling, or if he's just toying with them in the way a cat would play with it's kill.

Not suggesting he would kill them. It's just an analogy.


Hey Toro, I heard you leik Applejack:

Also, #16 would've been very useful yesterday.

 

[Wiegert]

EWZ was... alright. Fanfics which contain Zombies isn't really my cup of tea, but this one wasn't too bad.

How evil is Discord, exactly? That's been something I've been wondering about since Monday.

I guess it depends whether you think that a creature which revels in causing widespread chaos is truly evil. Then again, what Discord did to most of the Mane 6 can be considered evil in a way. I'm certain that episode 2 will help give us more of an idea about how malevolent Discord really is.

And as Mint said, I don't reckon Discord would be so evil that he would actually kill anypony, but I did get the impression that NMM would have (if it wasn't a show aimed at kids of course).

 

[Minty]

Well, in doing what she planned she would've killed everypony, just because she wanted attention, they just never directly stated that.

So, yeah, NMM was very, very evil.

 

[Tornado]

Well, in doing what she planned she would've killed everypony, just because she wanted attention, they just never directly stated that.

Faust actually said on her DA that NMM knew exactly that what she was doing would cause that, but she just didn't care. In comparison, I honestly have a hard time thinking of Discord as being any more than the Pony equivalent of Q, and I like to think that I would have made that connection regardless of who voiced Discord.

Hey Toro, I heard you leik Applejack:

Liarjack is fun.

 

[Minty]

Liarjack is fun.


Anyway,

Magic is Friendship? I get it, and actually liked it, up until that point.

Maybe I'm just tired, but could someone clarify what that's actually supposed to mean? I get that it's supposed to be the opposite of their elements, but that doesn't make any sense to me.

EDIT: Dammit FF. It didn't load the bottom sentence at first. Now I get it.



EDIT: So. People are challenging "Brony" as a unisex word again. I thought this was resolved months ago.

Is anyone else annoyed by the word "Pegasister"? I'm not sure why, I just don't like it.

 

[Tornado]

It was resolved, but another magazine article screwed it up and treated Brony as if it wasn't gender neutral.

Also, Pegasister is teh gay.




Joseco-verload!

Not sure if D'awwww

 

[Minty]

I saw it's d'awww.

It's got a seapony, but it's Lyra hugging G4-seapony-Lyra.

So yeah, d'awww.
