Re: My Little Pony XXX: Trixie Treats!
Huh? What are you...
*looks, closes tab*
It wasn't loading all the way anyway.
Ach. I have to try, now that you've said something...
Well then carry on my Wayward Friend! It's still not cool to be a hipster.
Seconded! Somepony take up the tally. That's like, 3 for "season two ruined my fanon" and -1 for "friendship is herpes". Because even the guy who started that was all "ewww no".
I do have to agree.
Hipsters are weird though. See, I've been hearing "I liked it before it was cool since I was like, 8. Then one day there are Hipsters on King of The Hill and I'm all "the hay is a hipster?" what is a hipster? Where and when Sid they come from? Are they a fashion thing, or are they a generation of kids who actually put stock in liking unique things? Or are they both; I remember that both the whole gothic and emo thing had their hangers-on who just wanted to be part of a crowd.
Wow. That's interesting! The guy who drew this is used to making comic book-style women. Look at Lyra's thighs; the flow and sweep are standardized 'cheesecake' practice. He even included the subtle divot on the far leg that implies transition from thigh to buttock behind the other leg.
I noticed a trend in art style, and I blame Thanqol.
Dude!
You need some pony.
That's weird.
Is it pirating to record a show from your television or DVR? I mean, in theory I've already paid for it. I may have to find a way to upload DVR files to a computer, since I think the only issue is if I try to turn a profit from the show.

Re: My Little Pony XXX: Trixie Treats!
More DRM. Sorry if this violates the rules. I'm being pretty reasonable about what I say tho. Or at least, trying to be.
SpoilerTo be fair, it probably isn't even Apple making that decision, it's probably what they needed to agree to in order to sell movies and TV shows at all on iTunes.
Media companies in general have their heads in their flanks, and their clocks set back to last century. I doubt it is Hasbro either making that specific decision, just that it is "what everyone else is doing" so they all keep doing it.
I'm unwilling to risk even buying anything more on iTunes unless I know I can get a DRM-free version of it from iTunes itself. If just have to go somewhere else and download it to actually use it, I might as well just do that.
You should be able to burn your DVR stuff without any problems, and it's perfectly legal to do so as long as you don't start selling copies or charging people to watch it.
Edit: Re the boxed-set related post below, edited in here so I don't spam the thread: Yeah, it makes sense, business-wise and customer-relationship-wise for Hasbro to just go ahead and release a high-quality BR/DVD/MP4 combo boxed set at an affordable price.
The 'brony' portion of their audience is technically-inclined enough to find all the episodes for free online anyway, and is intelligent enough to realize the usual Disney/etc style of leeching as much money as possible isn't exactly fair to them. The usual $10 an episode is just not going to fly with most folks in this bracket, but a boxed set, with BR/DVD/MP4 versions of the show, at an affordable price and packed with special features, would be guaranteed to sell out.
The 'parent' portion of their audience (including the target audience agegroup of children, but they don't usually pay for the content themselves) may or may not know how to find and download the high quality episodes, but they aren't stupid, and they know that the usual Disneyesque costs for children's programming is a horrible, terrible deal designed to screw the consumer as much as possible. Imagine how much their audience, and target market, would appreciate it if they had an affordable, complete boxed set of MLP:FIM at $xx (instead of $xxx) available in stores in time for this holiday season.
If they did that, they could advertise it right on the box: "Share the Magic of Friendship, you can give the versions you don't use to someone else." (or something more eloquent) They'd gain even more admiration from the technically-inclined brony community, and the online retailer review pages would be filled with page after page of heartwarming (and incredibly good PR) posts from regular consumers about how families kept one version for themselves, gave the other video version to some friends, and sent the MP4 DVDs to their older child who loves the show and is stuck in Iraq or Afghanistan or someplace like that.Last edited by Beeskee; 2011-11-07 at 01:22 AM.

Re: My Little Pony XXX: Trixie Treats!
Hi Ponythread. A busy weekend for me, so I was only able to skim-read at various points.
Thoughts on S2E5:
SpoilerAs has been noted, it was good, but probably my least favourite of Season 2 so far. Probably for much the same reasons that Lesson Zero wasn't a favourite of some - Rarity's OCD in over-drive hit a little too close to home for comfort.
Items of note for yours truly:
- Bored Sweetie Belle scooting around on the floor is so adorable! New pancreas, please!
- Sweetie Belle tearing up when she told Rarity that she didn't want a sister any more... I wanted so much to reach through the screen, hug Sweetie and tell her everything will be all right.
- Applebloom got some hilarious lines in this episode. *munch slobber crunch* "What's uncouth?" "It means impolite or uncivilised." *BRAAAAP!* "Exactly!"
- Applejack and Applebloom call each other by "AJ" and "AB" nicknames.
- Gone with the Wind reference? Rarity hammy is (second) best hammy!
- AJ, why are you so good at everything? I know that she's (largely) the sensible, level-headed pony, but I'm hoping for an "Applejack has a massive lose-her-head do-something-silly fan-girl moment" this season.
- The pie eating contest section of the race... sweet Celestia, they've been taking eating lessons from Pinkie Pie. Equestrian table manners are doomed!
- Damp mane & tail Rarity is... disturbingly attractive.
*hugs*
Maybe Pinkie Claus will bring you a new system for Christmas:

Re: My Little Pony XXX: Trixie Treats!
That's what they say. Until it happens. Until the ivory towers are replaced with vintage clothing stores and hand made candle shops; when Science begins to ironically and exclusively be about extispicy and palm reading; when horn rimmed safety goggles become standard eye protection in laboratories; when the Arecibo Observatory begins to pump music no one in space nor Earth has ever heard of, then you will see the horrors wrought in a world that let a few essays about annoying cultural trends slip like grains of sand through a shaman's outstretched hand. THEN YOU WILL SEE.
For the first time in my entire life, "he started it" is an appropriate and meaningful response.... I came to appreciate that mountains make poor receptacles for dreams.

Re: My Little Pony XXX: Trixie Treats!
I don't remember who it was, but someone a week ago linked a picture in this thread of Twilight Sparking asking what Homestuck was. I, being a curious fool, googled that very question.
Sigh, I really did not have time to read the web-comic equivalent of War and Peace this week, but that kinda happened anyway.
Homestuck spoilers I guess
SpoilerOh my gosh. That Cascade cinematic with Dave and Rose rising out of the green sun as their god tiers. That was the best thing I've seen in a year, basically since ponies actually.
I have read all of the comics. All of them.

Re: My Little Pony XXX: Trixie Treats!
I'll be honest; I don't care one way or another what the ponies eat. I'm in it for the arguing. Ergo, your proof, isn't.
SpoilerI'm glad I'm not alone there.

Re: My Little Pony XXX: Trixie Treats!
Huh .. I
Indeed.
Dare I say it ... The fun has been doubled!
Also, suddenly everything makes sense to me (Ep 5 Spoiler):
Spoiler
Further proof, remember Pinkie Pie's parents?
That means we can extrapolate this to show that Rainbow Dash's parents are really cautious/controlling ponies, while Fluttershy's must be noisy jerks!
And as for quiet, unsociable Twilights? Well, we already know her parents are the noisy party-going types:
Spoil'd for Epilepsy inducing reasons:

Re: My Little Pony XXX: Trixie Treats!
Beeskee, I'm going to post the same thing here that I posted back when that episode aired. That's a large flower petal. Remember how Twilight had, what was it, a daisy sandwich, back in Ticket Master? Yeah, clearly a flower petal.
To say otherwise would be to call Pinkie a liar, and are you sure you want to be doing that? *glares menacingly for a bit, then cracks up laughing at the thought of himself being threatening*
*Rereads your post* Wait, you did call Pinkie a liar. Why would you say that? *hugs Pinkie*
EDIT: SiuiS, according to the IRC, you currently owe Braz "SEXY AORTAS," and earlier you owed her some "SEXY SPIDERS." Whatever started this, I'd advise getting taken care of soon, before it gets out of hand.Last edited by Gadora; 2011-11-07 at 02:54 AM.

Re: My Little Pony XXX: Trixie Treats!
All kinds of
horribly wrongthoughts contained within:
SpoilerShimmer, you tease!
... is it suddenly my birthday and nopony told me?
Are... are wet manes the pony equivalent of wet T-shirts?
You'd think Rarity would look happier if she's starting a new fashion trend.
There were worse thoughts, but I ain't posting them! Confound these attractive ponies!

Re: My Little Pony XXX: Trixie Treats!
Ponies not only make ME want to be a better person than I was before they entered my life, they make me want to HELP OTHERS be better people too.
And that is a GOOD thing by any definition.

Re: My Little Pony XXX: Trixie Treats!
SpoilerWhen I first saw that scene, I fell in love. I didn't want to say anything though, I didn't want to sound weird. But now that I know I'm not the only one, I feel so much better.
Rarity pics (not all wet manes, unfortunately. Also, screen stretchage. You have been warned.):
Spoiler
Guess what my new wallpaper is?
Dem eyes...

Re: My Little Pony XXX: Trixie Treats!
There's your problem - in Phoe's picture THE FUN HAS BEEN DOUBLED!
Next thread title, anypony?
I'm starting to wonder if the animators did this deliberately? As in, choosing a new "wet mane" design that made her look attractive; instead of using the Season 1 wet mane, which made her look... well, soggy.

Episode 5
SpoilerI agree with earlier posters on wet mane Rarity. Just thought I'd say that. I still suggest "With Celestia As My Witness" for next thread title, though.
