Holy smokes! Part 14 of The Ballad is up. I finally have something to read, but it's far to late for me to do that, so I'll check it out tomorrow.
Damn! I didn't think it was gonna be posted so quickly!

Told you Seth would jazz in his pants when he saw you were updating it.

@Minty

Thanks, glad you're enjoying the fic.

Ok, you've gone to bed, slept and woken up again, and I'm still online and awake. This is probably not good for my sleeping cycle.

EDIT:
Been a while since I got to use this:

Night, all!

 

[Jim Prower]

Cannot wait for the DST change. I keep waking up around 0330 or 0400 and can't get back to sleep.

also, be inspired. :3

 

[Brando-K]

@Jim, we just got onto DST. It makes mornings so much easier here.

See you tomorrow, I'm going to sleep.

zzz.

 

[Racedude]

After pretty much avoiding everywhere just to avoid ending up like a car featured on The Fast & The Furious, I just watched the episode...

 

[unit-one]

That Molestia picture. I have no idea why, but I didn't laugh, or even smirk.

I knew it was funny, I looked at it and though "That's funny, right there." but not even a chuckle. I don't know, even as a joke Twilight in a situation like that bothers a part of my brain. I guess in a way that's good news. At least some small part of my brain is still normal.

It wasn't funny at all...


The new ones are way better.

Second Pic.

One more night shift... must survive...

I hope I can draw something before my B-Day...

 

[Wiegert]

It's been so long since I last checked out The Ballad that I forgot I always used to read it on FanFiction.Net. I've just noticed that part 14 isn't on that site for whatever reason, so I'll just read the GDoc version instead.

 

[Spoil-t]

 

[Minty]

I can either be really late for something and get in a 🤬 ton of trouble. Or I can not read the Ballad this morning.

Decisions decisions.......🤬, I'll try and read it tomorrow, because there is no way I'm getting time today unless my friend cancels.

wasn't funny at all...


The new ones are way better.

Yeah, now that I've got some rest you're definitely right. It didn't really have anything going for it as far as humor. I was expecting something a little more clever.

And I also agree with the second part


Also, trouble on ED......Phoe stirred 🤬 up.

EDIT: Sorry, Princess Phoe.....

 

[Spoil-t]

 

[unit-one]

Before I go...

There is something I want to ask you guys...





















Where can I get PS3 friendly episodes in 1080p?

 

[Wiegert]

Can't say I laughed at it really, and I was also hoping for something more clever than... well, you know. Then again, it was animated which was something I didn't expect.




Okay, Part 14 of TBoTS was thoroughly enjoyable, especially the second half (adorkable Twilight in plentiful supply).

And when it comes to gaining Twilight’s affection, The Slightly Miffed and Jealous Trixie simply cannot compete with the Manehatten Public Library

And to think that Rainbow Dash of all ponies is descended from history’s greatest minds.

Uh, well, I suppose that the best pony in Equestria could do with a library card.

@unit-one:
I recall there was a sticky on Ponychan, but I'm not really sure because I rarely go there.

 

[Minty]

They are all .mkv files and according to the internet should work on the PS3. If not, I suggest getting YouTube downloader for Chrome of FF and getting them all that way, because I know the PS3 supports .mp4.

EDIT: Twilight laying on the bed in that pose will be, and probably has been exploited in so many ways I'm afraid to look at the internet for a while.

:censored:ing called it


I'm gonna go do that work stuff now and try to keep that as far away from my mind as possible. I don't know, even though original artwork of rule 34 bothers me, when it's an edited frame of the show it just feels so much worse.

 

[unit-one]

@unit-one:

I can't go there...the forum structure hurts my eyes ^_^



Why I ask this? I found a 1080p episode (The very first of season 2) and it looked awesome! And I can't find other part in this quality, or it has a different format =(

EDIT: Thanks Mint. I guess YT Downloader is the only way.

 

[Racedude]

@unit-one (can't quote on mobile) :
That's exactly the reason I avoid it! (That and all those weird rule 34 threads.)

 

[unit-one]

A "small" teaser 4 U all!


See you soon!

 

[Akira AC]

Good morning everyone.

Interesting.

Do you have surround sound equipment?









Anyways:

Applejack had taken the bands out of her hair when she went to sleep, and her mane now fell loose about her shoulders.

Also, called it.

 

[Azure Flare]

Nearly forgot.

With YT downloaders it only DLs in low quality. Go here. The guy gives a MP4 link when a new episode comes out. Just click on the link that leads to a site in Russian & ta da the magicks.

 

[Minty]

I've got every episode in 1080p .mp4 files using youTube downloader. We must be talking about different things.
I might be wrong, but I'm pretty sure the YouTube downloader I use rips the file that was uploaded exactly as it was. Audio quality and all. YouTube only supports 2 channel audio, but surround sound still works when I play the files.

But if someone's got download links that would probably be the best way.

 

[Tornado]

I might be wrong, but I'm pretty sure the YouTube downloader I use rips the file that was uploaded exactly as it was. Audio quality and all.

YouTube video formats (240p, 360p, 720p, 1080p) are all h.264 presets, and YouTube converts any file you upload to the closest preset upon upload. That's what it is doing during the "Processing" stage after the file finishes uploading and but before it is actually available for viewing.

 

[unit-one]

W00T! No work tonight! Best Birthday gift ever, LoL!

Interesting.

Sure is ^_^

Do you have surround sound equipment?

Eeyup! 5.1

THANK YOU!👍

 

[Tornado]

Eeyup! 5.1

Get the 720p set instead. Ponies in glorious native Dolby Digital 5.1.

 

[unit-one]

You mean 1080p doesn't have surround sound?

 

[Spoil-t]

Who's excited to see Luna again?!

*waits very impatiently for Saturday*

 

[Tornado]

You mean 1080p doesn't have surround sound?

No. The 1080p set are capture card TV rips with 2-Channel AAC rather than 6 channel AC3 like the 720p set.


The latter sounds so much better than the former that it isn't even a fair comparison, and the 720p set also doesn't have HUB watermarks like the 1080p set does.



Edit: Actually, well, that's not entirely true. There are TV rips of certain episodes that are 1080p with 5.1, but they are few and far between and absolutely massive (2+ GB a pop).



Just saw a 1080p set of Season 1 on *not allowed to say*. It's HUEG LIEK XBAWKS, but it is 1080p with 5.1, so I'm gonna give it a look right now.

...can't find an .mp4 version. But that 1080p version is almost downloaded. I will tell you if it has 5.1 sound soon.


EDIT: Why aren't you allowed to say where you found it?

 

[Tornado]

...can't find an .mp4 version.

What are they, .mkvs? It only takes about 10 minutes to convert the entirety of the 720p set to .mpg. You could even do it by hand if you wanted to.
