Re: My Little Pony XIX: I Emptied Your Thread
There is a Filly Lixie and a Filly SiuiS somewhere!? Why was I not informed of this sooner?
Okay, so you only meant Filly!SiuiS, but I'll be darned if I can't get the only form of blackmail that will work on anyone, even a goddess: cute baby pictures!
But, why Rainbow Dash; it should be Rarity there. I'll let Spike sum up my reaction.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Oh! I wanna eat bananas! I don't know why but bananas are not allowed on this forum. (it was originally opium in the game, but Nintendo censored it. And yet they let the Medusa enemy sprite in the previous game through. )
I'd be pretty surprised if anypony here actually recognizes The Final Fantasy Legend games."Why is it that we receive a penny for our thoughts, but have to put in our 2 cents?"

Re: My Little Pony XIX: I Emptied Your Thread
Specifically, it's for a Command & Conquer Red Alert-style briefing, where the AI introduces itself to the Eurasian Solar Union commander (the ESU being Russia+China as a superpower, now with added extra cheesey Red Alert Soviet flavour).
If you're not familiar with C&C (why not?! It's awesome!), the EVA (which is what the GDI called it in C&C main, and was a woman called Lt EVA in Red Alert 2 and 3 (the bloke's voice in RA 1 that did the same job was never addressed in universe.) It's the thingy that gives you your briefing and makes helpful statements like "Reinforcements have arrived," "Constructon complete," "Unit lost" and "Missile Launch detected! Ahahaha!" Oh, wait, no, that last one was just CABAL (the Brotherhood of Nod's version, who was the most awesome.)
Any suggestions you (or anyone else) can make on that front, in part or in whole, are welcome!
Between you, me and fizmat, we might even get somewhere...!
Also, I think we've said this before, but Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy would make awesomely hilarious EVAs (and Celestia and Twilight more practically awesome ones.) Rarity...yeah not so much. Not because she isn't awesome (because she is), but because she'd keep nagging you on how untidy your base is, and complaining that the enemy side's colours just don't match your defences...Last edited by Aotrs Commander; 2011-08-10 at 03:06 PM.

Re: My Little Pony XIX: I Emptied Your Thread
Nintendo and bananas reminds me of StarTropics. Man, Nintendo must have been bananas about bananas back then.
And yes, I played the FFL series. Beat the first (yay Hydra petrifying breath!) and third games. Never the second, though - for some reason, every time I played the Fist/Kick weapon suddenly spiked to 999 damage for a few hits and then dropped back down to 1 damage a hit, and it always happened when fighting viruses inside the Giant. That became... very annoying, about the third time playing the game. I perferred FF Adventure anyways.
I understand that the whole Saga series - Saga Frontier, Romancing Saga - was a continuation of Final Fantasy Legend, much as Secret of Mana was a continuation of Final Fantasy Adventure.SpoilerThank you to zimmerwald1915 for the Gustave avatar.

Re: My Little Pony XIX: I Emptied Your Thread
Hooray, there is somepony else who has actually played these games!
Sure, some of the programming is a bit wonky in those games, but I still prefer to play SaGa, because Final Fantasy is too mainstream.
But, how would you make a Yuri pony? Wouldn't you need at least two for that? Unless, Yuri is her special talent, or she has some sort of self-replicating ability."Why is it that we receive a penny for our thoughts, but have to put in our 2 cents?"

Re: My Little Pony XIX: I Emptied Your Thread
Those were some of my favorite games as a kid, actually. What I don't understand is why they picked opium in the first place. The whole thing was a cover for smuggling Magi, right? Why disguise them as something illegal?
The damage in hand to hand attacks is supposed to increase as the uses remaining get lower.Last edited by RdMarquis; 2011-08-10 at 03:38 PM.

Re: My Little Pony XIX: I Emptied Your Thread
While demo trucks were fun, I've got to say that the tesla coil is my favorite unit.
...
What do you mean it's a building?
...
Look, if I've done an assault on an enemy base consisting solely of tesla coils, it counts as a unit.
...
...
...
Fine, I'll go with the cruiser then.

Re: My Little Pony XIX: I Emptied Your Thread
That's the usual dichotomy, isn't it? Earth 2140 had the same thing with United Civilized States against the Eurasian Dynasty.

Also, pocket ponies are the best thing. Ever.

Cruisers are hax and you know it.
Mammoth Tanks are. So. Awesome!
Before I discovered RTSes are not really my thing, I've tried Dune 2, Blood and Magic, Warcraft 2, Earth 2140, KKnD, Starcraft and Submarine Titans.Last edited by Grif; 2011-08-10 at 03:50 PM.

Re: My Little Pony XIX: I Emptied Your Thread
That makes a lot more sense. But, it's awfully mundane for a plot to attain godhood. And downright silly with the censorship.
On a more pony related note, Derpy is adorable.

Re: My Little Pony XIX: I Emptied Your Thread
Tesla Coil totally count. Tesla Coils count like the fist of an angry god.
Especially since it was my first thought too.
Prism/Spectrum towers are a close second.
And them, too.
The ESU comes from the Full Thrust background, wherein the other powers include the New Anglian Confederation: (most of) the US and Canada united under the British crown (you cant tell this is a British set of rules, can't you!), the Federal Stats Europa (France and half or Europe), the Neu Swabin League (Germany and the other half), the Imperial Japanese and several more. All of which we tend to boil down to humorous national steriotypes and thus maximise the stupid accent usage. (I have a space fleet called the Galactic Liberation Armada -
Spoiler
- which is exactly what it sound like. And allows me to quote that other wonderful quote minefield of C&C Generals. (Suicide shuttles => "GLA postal service!" AIAIAIAIAIAIAI!))

Applejack or Rainbow would make good GDI commandoes. Actually, scratch that, Rainbow would make a brilliant Tanya. Cha-ching!
I feel obliged to sat Twlight => Jim Raynor, just because of That Trailer...
Rarity => GLA worker (just because it would be priceless to here her whine), and also "you change your mind often" is so appropriate...Last edited by Aotrs Commander; 2011-08-10 at 04:37 PM.

Re: My Little Pony XIX: I Emptied Your Thread
I'll never understand the insistence that Ditzy is a better name than Derpy. I'm aware of the common arguments that 'she was called Ditzy in the show' and 'Derpy sounds too mean', but... well, the pony known as 'Ditzy Doo' never actually showed up on screen (she was too busy flying North to collect the southern birds), and...
Well, saying that Derpy is too mean for a name and then happily trotting out Ditzy as the replacement is like saying, "Don't call her a retard. That's mean. Call her a moron instead! "
Forgive me if those reasons are not your own, I really can't recall. It's just seeing the argument hinted at dug up memories and thoughts, and I have no inhibitors right now so I'm set very firmly on 'blabber'.
Also, darn you to heck. I was out. I had moved past this whole 'fillies' thing. Now I'm caught in the whirlwind of adorable again, and it's all your fault. Meanie.Last edited by PhoeKun; 2011-08-10 at 04:57 PM.

Re: My Little Pony XIX: I Emptied Your Thread
I see Australia is absent. I assume because it became a radioactive wasteland. This setting and 2140 still have something in common.
Umm, okay, what about something like, Integrated Battlefield Command Adjutant?
(I like "adjutant".)
I like "adjutant" too. But every time I try to think of a full name, my brain wants me to end with ".. system". That is realistic, but way too predictable, boring and doesn't accommodate "adjutant" at all.
The thing is, it's hard to imagine a military name for such a thing, because it's hard to imagine the military ever using the thing. If they need something, it has to be repairable by bits of string and swearing at it. The EVA is too easily emulated by a person and some signal lights.
