Re: My Little Pony LXXIV: Hats Are Technology!
Okay, there's only one way we can be safe.
We need to call upon the Sea Ponies!Spoiler: Shoo Shoo Be Doo!
So, while we're on the topic of Sea Ponies, who here prefers the Original Gen-1 design(Gian Sea-Horse with Pony head) or ones more like a Hippocampus(Fish tail replacing Hindquarters. May or may not have webbed paws instead of fore-hooves)?I also answer to Bookmark and Shadow Claw.

Re: My Little Pony LXXIV: Hats Are Technology!
Remember that blog with the really handy, spoiler-filled map and speculation regarding the previous episode?
Well, they just wrote up a rather nice, in-depth analysis to the whole thing that I think well addresses a lot of the problems I see folks having with it. Click here for all the spoiler-filled goodness.
Spoiler: S4E4 Spoilers/Pertinent PointsChief among those is the distinction between Yearling and Daring Do. Yearling is more the author, adventurer, and living, breathing pony, while Daring Do is the persona she adopts when telling about her stories. Similar to Bruce Wayne/Batman, only if Bruce Wayne felt like writing the comics for his adventures. Or more accurately, Dr. Jones/Indiana Jones. This one's more on the speculation side of things, but it rings true enough for me that I can buy it.
Also some good points about Ahuizotl. Guy's been trying to enact this plan for, what, seventeen books now? And he's been thwarted by the same individual mare every time? In the grand scheme of threats to Equestria as a whole, I'm not sure if he's big enough to make even the B-List roster. And if he ever did, he'd be inviting a whole new level of attention to his antics, shortly followed by a whole new level of response from Celly and Luna.
Those, combined with the fact that we we did see Daring Do on the book cover, thus meaning Dash wasn't completely self-inserting herself, makes me feel even better about this episode.Last edited by TheAmishPirate; 2013-12-09 at 08:05 PM.

Dear Princess Celestia.
Today I learned that it really sucks when you're fixing coffee cup and you get Krazy Glue stuck on your fingers.

Re: My Little Pony LXXIV: Hats Are Technology!
And I say Heyyyyyeyyyyeyyyaaa!
Spoiler
Daring Do vs. Trixie (no spoiler)
Spoiler
Snips & Snails have the weirdest parents...
Spoiler
If the creators ever make a Sea-pony episode, I think giving the spot-light to AJ would be awesome. The straightmare under the sea of weird. That is just a great idea in my mind. XD
THIS.
Soak 'em. Crazy glue doesn't like being soaked.
Well, I began my adventure playing the old SNES title Ogre Battle. Named the main leader Celestia and now I'm attempting to get one of the good endings. So, if anyone cares to join Celestia's Liberation Army...
...too bad it doesn't let me name the regular units. I'd totally make a lich and name it after the Commodore.

Re: My Little Pony LXXIV: Hats Are Technology!
Random new episode talk
SpoilerSo, all the adventures in the Daring Do books are real. that means that everything in there has to follow the rules of the universe. before, it didn't have to, because it's fiction. So, then, what was up with the rings? Why did the big ring at the bottom keep the fortress intact? Why did the small one cause sweltering heat? Was there a specific enchantment placed on each one? If so, what were the other ones for? And why did Daring Do have that one ring (no pun intended)?
Also, it felt like there was one thing and one thing only happening. Which, even in adventure episodes, never seems to happen. For an episode focused on a character only seen once before, it really focused hard on her. It would be like, if Read it And Weep had nothing but Rainbow Dash reading the book, and to the audience, seeing what she is reading. The rest of the group felt like they just went along for the ride for no reason. makes for a one-dimensional episode.

Re: My Little Pony LXXIV: Hats Are Technology!
My favorite part of that art piece is that grin on Trixie's face. It's like she's just taunting poor Do.
That is exactly the scene that appeared in my head when I saw those thugs surround Daring for that last ring. And... okay Google is sleeping on the job so I can't find a good image of the actual scene from Last Crusade, but I want to say the two "bosses" had similar looks.
I think all the rings were just part of a set with one enchantment. The sweltering heat happens if you had them all together, like assembling a big magical solar collector or some such. Otherwise, Ahuwhateveryournameis really chewed on the idiot ball for not using the other rings to fight off the Mane6. As to why the temple blows up when you remove the big one?
...I dunno, James Bond logic? Dwarf Fortress? Writers ran out of ideas?
As I think about which characters were important, we could probably make it work with just Dash and Twilight, the two fans of Daring Do. Then they can go home and tell their friends about the adventure with the real Daring Do and their friends can be all like "Uh huh... sure. Cool Story Bro." and the secret is safe.

Yeah but Trixie always looks like that.

Re: My Little Pony LXXIV: Hats Are Technology!
True. One of her consistant and endearing traits.
Yeah, that's the one! I guess he doesn't look much like Dr. Caballeron with the images side by side... has the feel though.

Re: My Little Pony LXXIV: Hats Are Technology!
Dear Princess Celestia,
Today I attempted to find a vector version of the USAF logo for a presentation. While I admire that one of the first hits returned to me was the logo for the Wonderbolts, my boss doesn't think it'll go over well with our client.
Your Faithful student,
Digo
P.S.: My boss totally thinks I did that on purpose too.
Yeah, you're right about that.

Hmm best I could find here. Though I don't have the programs for .eps or taking something out of a pdf. If you "view image" the pic on that page you also get a giant .jpg file.

Re: My Little Pony LXXIV: Hats Are Technology!
We know Daring Do is real, not whether all her books are truthful accounts. They're probably altered just enough not to get in trouble and embellished in various ways.
Nothing that happened in the episode was any more outrageous than the stuff that happens in Indiana Jones movies. Ancient temples are almost guaranteed to have a self-destruction mechanism of some kind that is immune to wear over time and is accurate to the ounce.Last edited by Silfir; 2013-12-10 at 03:41 PM.
This signature is boring. The stuff I write might not be. Warning: Ponies.

Re: My Little Pony LXXIV: Hats Are Technology!
Thanks! In the end, the boss had me use something from a sub-department of the Air Force (naturally just when I'm about to nail down a logo for the project). I wonder if Celestia is a taskmaster when there's important folks dropping by for a meeting?
...I'm sure she's better at spelling. :p
Huh... That does seem a better fit with the looks. Maybe it is Rene.
I'm wondering about the engineering challenges involved on a temple designed to self-destruct by lava. Read It and Weep is never going to be looked upon in the same way by my eyes.Last edited by DigoDragon; 2013-12-10 at 04:21 PM.
