Also, I have no idea why someone decided to tag this as anthro (tag was removed just now):

I think it's all about the >Implications

That's one down.

Edit:

Still not sure which kind of tumblr it is, but I still love how it is drawn.

 

[Sniffs]

well, I hope I'm forgiven, by now. and I think I'm gonna have to apologize to everybody (unless you're all ignoring me, I'm used to that. it seems to be my lot in life)

and no, it's nice to NOT see clop (i go elsewhere for THAT )but romance? I'm seeing a LOT of that.

i think if I get no responses one last time, I'm gonna just...give up. there's too many of you guys that are so damn good at this, well...

thanks everybody, but I think i'm too old for my fandoms, now...I gotta stay away from sadfics, I guess

 

[Jim Prower]

Eh, no-one's to old to be a fan of something. You're never too old to play. That's why old guys buy Corvettes.

Oh my, you better watch your back or Octy's gonna creep up on you with that bow of hers, and the outcome won't be pretty.

Now I feel bad for reading part of the latest chapter of a story I've never read before.

Wow, I haven't been posting very much today.

Well, I may not be obligated, but I might as well. So here's a little rock to fill the urge.



Well, double it up!

[Gravekeeper]

Evenin' all!

I was gonna do another mass reply but I'm feeling a bit lazy tonight, especially after going through all those pages of fanfic discussion for stories that I haven't read yet

First of all, thanks all for the comments on the comic, I'm glad you guys liked it--I know I had a lot of fun sketching it (which is why it went from a single sketch to a 22-panel comic).


----BF3 rant-----

Secondly, I've started getting in some kill time in BF3, and I gotta say, so far I haven't really had much trouble with getting shot down by Stingers when jetting around; seems no one is playing Engineer (which is too bad, because that's my fave class). I did notice it is rather difficult to line up a strafe run, but not impossible. It's mainly about climbing to the top of the skybox and entering a dive almost on top of you target, which provides you with the added safety of the tank not being able to shoot near-vertical.

The actual game and the beta are worlds apart, and I've had no problem getting in and out of servers with my friends in tow; we've always ended up on the same squads when possible, too.

Although I loved to cause mass mayhem with the Mobile Spawn, I can certainly see why it was nerfed so hard-- I remember that in a few days in the beta, I was able to get like 40 knife kills by running behind enemy lines with it.

All in all, I'm loving every bit of the gameplay, it was worth the wait (except for those rampant Mortar tubers...)

Origin, however, is still pretty much the Worst. Possible. Thing. It is an enormity against all life, human or otherwise. It is a war crime, plain and simple. It is a blight upon the gaming industry and the gaming community. It's as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly s:censored:t upon.

I mean, opening the damn Origin overlay to chat actually crashed my game. At this point, I'm just running BF3 within Steam to use the far superior voice chat and overlay. Oh, hey, Steam also has an overlay web browser! Why didn't you try to copy that, EA, instead of having the game shut down and reload every time I want to change servers, just to use the Battlelog?


----\BF3 rant-----

Thirdly, congrats on the interview, Coffee! I--

I'm gunna see if I can get away with calling Gravekeeper Mexican.

--I wish for you to crash and burn, bro. Be sure to remind them of your self-inserts while you're are it.

Fourthly, how about those official names, eh? Heartstrings isn't that bad actually, and Berryshine is pretty much a confirmation on her status as a cheap drunk. I fear for the day we get Octavia's real name...

Fifthly, have at you, Toro!

Lol! I've seen that Futurama episode. Spike just looks "correct" as Fry.

Evenin' all!

Yeah now if only the actual mods were like Pinkie. And that gif is a lot longer than what I've seen usually.

 

[Wiegert]

Be sure to remind them of your self-inserts while you're are it.

How could Coffee forget to do that? That will be the very first thing he does

Fourthly, how about those official names, eh? Heartstrings isn't that bad actually, and Berryshine is pretty much a confirmation on her status as a cheap drunk.

I agree that Heartstrings isn't too bad for a name (still prefer Lyra though), and I think Noteworthy is a far better name than Blues.

Also, Berryshine apparently "loves berries!", but I'm guessing that she only likes them if they're fermented.

I care nothing about that pony who looks nothing like, and isn't even of the same race as, Berry Punch; and I'm actually sorta confused why anyone else does either. Noteworthy is fine. Golden Harvest sounds like a crappy prog rock band.



"Lyra Heartstrings" being Lyra's full name is aces, though.

Fifthly, have at you, Toro!

It don't work if I've already seen it!




*dies anyway*

 

[Minty]

I agree with you on Lyra, but I actually like Blues more. But Noteworthy is good enough, though.



Also, night.

Well I had a good day. Gonna record more episodes if they come on. If they ever do. Anyways, night.

 

[Akira AC]

It looks like he is back judging by what some people are saying, and San Andreas looks mighty impressive, don't you think?

While it looks indeed impressive, I still can notice that is mostly build over the RAGE engine(an upgraded version but still RAGE) used for GTA IV(graphically speaking).

I've been playing a lot of GTA IV and there are some issues that Rockstar should tackle(better cover system and a revision for some gameplay elements).

I'm guessing that maybe the whole San Andreas Region will be featured, the first GTA SA trailer only showcased Los Santos, is a long shot but I want to see new Venturas with the new casinos and maybe a new Ocean's Eleven mission with some GTA style(like the one on GTA SA with Woozy).

*BF3 rant*

Yeah, I cant understand well the whole Origin takes down Steam business, is clear that EA wants to cover that market but nah it doesn't work. Steam is miles ahead in development and technical capabilities(it works pretty much like XBLA, in some ways even better), and Origin is just presented as a very hard handicap for BF3(they selling the whole Battlelog thing as competence for COD Elite, but Origin is what might end up screwing it).

I noticed these problems when I played the PC version(on weekend), and while the Online is mostly solid on consoles(except for the damn player based ping) there are far bigger problems with the campaign.

So, after spending more than 2 hours fiddling about in Pixlr, I've finally finished creating 6 new avatars. The chances of me using all of them at some point are low though. I was just testing the images out to see if they would look good in avatar form, and most of them do. I'll make the change at some point before the end of the week.

Well, I do hope that the whole of SA features in GTA V, not just Los Santos and a few outlying mountainous areas. If we don't see Fierro or Venturas in any future trailers, then it's likely that they won't be featured in V. I'm also keen to know what character you will take control of in the game as well.



Also, 8 minutes of awesomeness:

G'night.

 

[Tornado]

Based on my experience with your typical Wii game, I imagine Applejack is probably winning; which might explain why Rarity looks so annoyed.

Good night.

 

[Akira AC]

So, pending stuff from yesterday's reading session:

A Precious Rainbow/The Cupcake Killer

It works as it should, there was everything that A precious Rainbow lacked, and while I understand why this wasn't featured on ED I do get the sense that this should have been featured there.

Is not perfect though, there are some things that I found annoying (Twilight/Luna and Rarity aren't well managed in both fics) but it really complements A Precious Rainbow, it showed pretty much everything I wanted (a changed/evolved RD based on her previous traumatic experience) but there are some areas in which the story lacks like the characterizations of the mane six like Rarity and in some extent AppleJack, however these are minor writing issues.

There is also the whole Memorial business which is used as a plot device, and actually is the main problem I found with it because I honestly don't think that it works as an appropriate plot device (Gummy made more sense as plot device), different approaches to RD's PTSD could have been done surrounding some of the elements from A precious Rainbow but this was absent on The Cupcake Killer.

Regardless of these issues I do believe that is a good story, not perfect but it manages to touch an interesting concept that was previously explored on the first fic. I also like how some parts of the relationship between Pinkie and RD are explored and how the PTSD have an effect on Rainbow's psyche and Rainbow's conception of Pinkie.



(*Reads the other 3 related fics, hardcore shipfic was sort of out of place, but shipping is shipping after all*)

 

[Brando-K]

 

[Akira AC]

Well actually this whole A Precious Rainbow thing keeps growing as I get more into it, there is Living the Dream which is inspired on it, and A Broken Lyre which is a side story from Lyra's perspective of the events, these stories apparently didn't made it into ED because of being referent to Cupcakes, which is a shame because they offer other perspective about the issue.

I guess this will be part of tomorrow's pony agenda, I'm missing a lot of fiction around ED due to time strains, but it seems that lately there aren't many stories or many interesting ones aside from the story updates. Either way, I will search for something interesting there once I get done with this(which turned out to be quite interesting).

Goodnight everyone.

Morning, all. No time for picture right now, taking parents to airport.


EDIT:

Coffee's myocardial infarction is inevitable.

Is that what the kids are calling that these days?


[/inappropriate]

Well, I do hope that the whole of SA features in GTA V, not just Los Santos and a few outlying mountainous areas. If we don't see Fierro or Venturas in any future trailers, then it's likely that they won't be featured in V. I'm also keen to know what character you will take control of in the game as well.

That mountain felt kind of like a modern update on the large mountain from SA, so that could be a good sign, and given the jets I'd imagine that even I it isn't a heavily tweaked SA, it will be :censoring: huge.

Secondly, I've started getting in some kill time in BF3, and I gotta say, so far I haven't really had much trouble with getting shot down by Stingers when jetting around; seems no one is playing Engineer (which is too bad, because that's my fave class). I did notice it is rather difficult to line up a strafe run, but not impossible. It's mainly about climbing to the top of the skybox and entering a dive almost on top of you target, which provides you with the added safety of the tank not being able to shoot near-vertical.

I think a lot of people go engineer, they just choose G to G missiles instead of G to A. G to A only gives you a target once in a while, but with RPGs you've got the whole wide range of 🤬 to blow up. Only map I use for Stingers is Caspian Border.

And about the planes, I figured that'd be good on the PC version, but the only map big enough for that consoles is Kharg Island, and 24 people spread across that gigantic thing makes finding a target nearly impossible. And it doesn't help that teammates marking an enemy is a rare occurrence, so just telling the big grey tank apart from the big grey storage container becomes just another problem.







That took more time than, I had intended, so no time to post pony

Brando: yes, kids ARE that stupid

Starchaser:
okay, I knew something like this would happen, and it finally did.

it's official, people; bronies have now been mistaken for Furries
i never thought I'd see the day when I had to mention the 'forbidden fandom' on here.

there's an unspoken agreement to give rude gestures to the press concerning what, thanks to a decade old TV show or two, is prcieved as a giant fetish club. if any of you were really scanning ED a few weeks ago, a TV show put out a Brony call looking for interviews and such. apparently, it was for the show "My Strange Addiction". almost everybody that had posted a comment said "it's a TRAP". looks like people were paying attention to what happened to furries when they got 'tabloided'

Gentlemen, be careful, you've been compromised.
