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

[Epic B]

Watched The Best Night Ever with my mom. We both laughed when Pinkie pointed out the glass slipper Rarity left, and then Rarity destroying it cause she DIDN'T want the prince to find her. Didn't get around to checking this thread a lot, but nothing significant I care about seemed to happen. Oh well. Night.
THIS IS MY 750TH POST!

 

[Jim Prower]

I wear a necktie now.

Neckties are cool.

EDIT: Also, Dilbert's Pointy Haired Boss mentioned something in the funnies this morning about "Field...the...grep...pony...budget" as his cell phone was on the fritz.

What's a Grep Pony? and why is it budgeted?

and is Scott Adams making a subtle shout out? granted, it's a bit TOO subtle to know, but...

However, DO NOT go to the artist's DA page It's... weird.

Pfft, listen to warnings. That's what wimps do...

Should of listened.

I approve of this post. 👍
Is it wrong to like Scoot even more after seeing this?
And since when has AJ worn her top down like that.👎 Applebloom is doing it correctly.
I see it's a time skip thing, so it's okay to like all the girls, except Dinky.

Comic.

"01" implies an "02."



You know what I'm waiting for. Though badass Scoots and Rainbow are badass.

I see it's a time skip thing, so it's okay to like all the girls, except Dinky.

Still not okay to like Head Bitch and 2IC Bitch.

In more Spitfire is best non-Mane 6 pony besides Big Mac related matters:

foxkin god damn it you glorious bastard.

Mint, Y U DO DIS?

This is of interest to no one in this thread, especially Toro.

I totally hadn't already cropped it to 16:10 before you even posted.

 

[unit-one]

I think Scootaloo looks the best on that JJ pic.

Toro went and said exactly what I was about to say in relation to Scoots and RD.


Also, Cheerilee reminds me of one of my old PE teachers, and Sweetie Belle is...hmm, yeah.

Still not okay to like Head Bitch and 2IC Bitch.

It's totally alright to hate Head Bitch more than her Second in Command though.

I think Scootaloo looks the best on that JJ pic.

I'll second this.

[CoffeeGrunt]

You could as well!

*Ideeeeeea!*

And Veggies has a new comic!

Is it at all weird that I know that makes a great wallpaper on my Razr?

 

[Gravekeeper]

Where I am now though it's almost the complete opposite, although I don't care about the area too much. I'd just like a better connection really.

Hey, at least you don't live in Puerto Rico, where the two biggest ISPs have such a ridiculous monopoly over intrabutts that they can get away with giving us (inconsistent, oversold) 6MB down speed (with 512kb up!) at an exorbitant price, higher than what people in the continental US pay for 40MB speeds.

Another of the things I missed during my short, 800-post disappearance, was the new faces of the thread. Slightly belated Welcome to the herd to you, and everyone else that might've joined!

I'm guessing Toro brought you in as an upgrade/replacement to our resident OctoScratch writer? (He has a bit of a self-insertion problem, you see...)

I must admit, I'm wracking my brain but I still don't get it.

Spoiler

Dad Derpy characterization, now completely destroyed. I knew I should have put her in back like, 8 chapters ago.

That was a coincidence. I prefer "improperly spelled plane."

One of the things that has been keeping me busy and barely able to pony: I'm getting together with a friend and we're trying to learn us some 3D modelling. Guess what I'm making to teach myself to use Blender?

tastes like White Lightning.

Thank Celestia the good folks at Red Bull saved her after her emergency landing.

I still haven't finished the episode, but this...

I was thinking about Granny Smith's age, when someone addressed the effectiveness of magic as a weapon, and that got me thinking.

I figure her age could have something to do with the nearly infinite uses of magic in medicine.[/COLOR][/B][/QUOTE]

JIMMY KNEW WHAT IT WAS BEFORE QUOTING THIS POST

That's a certain aircraft from a certain game series starring a certain impossibly fast Hedgehog. Please, tell me that'll be FSX compatible...

Though I DO have one with the later game proportions for a little known sim called Vehicle Simulator...
http://jonatan.deviantart.com/gallery/?catpath=/&offset=72#/d1tuvx6

would you believe he made that nearly complete over a weekend?

But, anyway, Me thinks you SHOULD be making a flyable Pegasus. Then, maybe we could start the "Virtual Wonderbolts."

 

[Tornado]

Jim, there were no hedgehogs in Bubsy II. Only an armadillo.



And that is supposed to be a complete secret that gradually loses its secrecy as more people who know what it means keep joining GTP.

New headcanon: AppleDash is even more "mutual enjoyment of alcohol"-related than Ballad would lead you to believe.

 

[Wiegert]

I know which numbers are associated with each blind bag pony. Looks like I'll have to walk into ASDA with a list of numbers and pony names like a totally normal person.

I have a friend who's doing 3D modelling and programming, so he would be interested in that sort of thing. Provided he's still alive (haven't heard from him in weeks).

EDIT: Can't seem to connect to Ponibooru. Anyone else?

It's been throwing up the error all day for me.

Neither can I. And Zecora has seen The Truth, that's why she doesn't need a horn to transmute matter.

That is quite awesome right there. I'm taking much longer, since I don't really know Blender well yet, and because I'm actually adding the control surfaces and navigation lighting and other real-world airplane details. FSX uses gmax models, right? Blender can probably export those.

Anyways, it's worth noting that the Tornado seen from Sonic Adventure onwards is actually a Polikarpov I-153 Chaika, an excellent choice for the discerning fox pilot on the go. Just so you can get an idea of how bad I've got it for planes, I actually added that bit of info to Tails's wikipedia page years ago, because I'm such a huge plane nerd.

And one of the reasons my friend and I are learning Blender is because he actually wants to buy a 3D Printer and get some show-accurate figures, so there you go: Wonderbolts in FSX might not be too far away...

Now THAT's nice. In addition to watching The Best Night Ever last night with my mom, we also watched Fall Weather Friends.

G.U.N., the blatant American military stand-in, uses Soviet attack helicopters for troop/prisoner transport. I laughed my ass off when I first noticed it.

It's worth noting, however, that GUN actually stands for Guardians of the United Nations - so they're more like world police than just the American military.

Wait... World Police? That sounds awfully familia-

**** YEAH!!!​

Point taken...

 

[Jim Prower]

I HEAVILY revised Angel's backstory and position since last I drew her, so, here ya go. :3

Should note that since I drew this, I've started doodling ponies at work, and I'm getting better at it. I especially like the expressiveness of the MLP face. Really helps me learn expressions well.

If only equine anatomy wasn't so hard to draw. Mine keep coming out like the toys with their oversized heads...So used to drawing bipedals....X<

Now that song is stuck in my head. And now I picture the mayor confusing Star Trek and Star Wars.

 

[CoffeeGrunt]

Toxic Mario did another comic:

It just feels like the panel where the punchline would be got cut off by Chrome or something... :S

Also, I called my pony GrapeKeister because it's a lot better than Hasbro's name for him.

 

[Tornado]

Maybe... Toxic-Mario's comics aren't supposed to be funny. Like how Veggie55 occasionally does an adult Scoots comic that is supposed to be taken at face value.



Or maybe he just doesn't have any comedic timing. I dunno. It does seem odd that he keeps doing comics that have no jokes in them.

 

[Brando-K]

I wish that guy got the line right. It may have been funny then, instead it was just sad.

And that comic has no punch line. You can't post that here, everything here must be funny.
Maybe it's an anti-joke joke. Think about it.

Wait no, it just isn't funny.

 

[CoffeeGrunt]

But in that respect, Toro, Veggie's comics are always either heartbreakingly adorable adult Scoots, funny, or at least do...something.

Thing with Toxic Mario is, yeah they're well drawn, beautifully, but....it just doesn't really do anything. It doesn't make me feel anything.

 

[Tornado]

Yeah, I get what you are saying. It almost seems like there is no point to them. Like a story with no conflict to resolve.


Or, rather, perhaps less mean-sounding, they don't work as comics and are instead just pictures that are related to each other.

 

[Wiegert]

Also, I called my pony GrapeKeister because it's a lot better than Hasbro's name for him.

Not that hard to come up with a better name than the ones Hasbro issued those blind bag ponies with.

They just seem to tell a story, albeit a short one, and not much else. They have no comedic value either, plus they seem so plain to me. The drawings that are used are nice though.

 

[Jim Prower]

His artwork is good, he just can't write for it...kind of like how I consider myself a better writer than an artist.
