    I like this actually. I'd like to see a Hasbro released one, but the one someone linked from EqD is kinda cool, too. (And a bit more bronyish.) I do believe there was at least one board game released when G3 was around. Oh, this is it. I think it's like Candyland, but I personally have not played it.

    Edit: I put Sweetie Belle's Hush Now, Quiet Now as my alarm tone, and it SCARED THE LIVING CRAP OUT OF ME this morning. I have to remind myself that I changed my ringtone, otherwise I don't know where it's coming from.

    Oh, my expletive yes. The last time I played Emerald, I tried tackling the E4 with my (admittedly not earth-shattering and played mainy go get evolutions I'd not got before) team, Clair's four-asterisking Kingdra swept MY ENTIRE TEAM and I have NEVER seen so many. Four-asterisking critical. Four-asterisking hits. in my unlife.

    ...

    We should totally hunt down Claire with all of our Pokemon and pummel them senseless (and I have about seven hundred, all told, across my games...)

    It's okay, Kingdra. You're still a pretty dragon. Just ignore the crazy lady who didn't try using Lanturn or Vaporeon against the gym leader.

    That reminds me of this one game of Oregon Trail I played with a friend a few years back. Before he died, Cobra Commander was bitten by snakes at least twice.

    For those who don't know, this is making fun of the fact that Skitty, a tiny little cat pokemon, can be bred with Wailord, a gigantic whale pokemon, because of egg types.


    Also, I'm kind of preferential to Lucario.

    One, because with a Special Attack favored one, he's a dragon destroyer. Two, with a dark type Special Attack move, he's a fighting type that can handle psychics.

    And lastly: Hands.

    Sounds like he did a poor job of commanding them, then. And I feel dumber for having said that. Not a good day in Phoeville. Definitely managed to bring some kind of virus back from GenCon.

    In other thread related news, I fully endorse Inkwell's statements about shoulder ponies. Shoulder ponies for everypony! They can be all tiny and adorable and huggable and squee. Just stay away from bananas.

    Just roll with it. Allow it to creep you out and you'll end up like your avatar o'er there. It could be thought patterns aligning and convincing you you've dreamt this, it could be actual precognitive dreams. Could be both. I have my opinion, but don't let that stop you; no matter what other folks say, you yourself know whether it's actually happening to you or not. Go with that.
    No worries there. I'm fully convinced I have useless superpowers, simply because my imagination deems the idea too fun to let go.

    I'm concerned with when any of us will do it, actually.

    I myself slipped up just a week ago. Called my kitty a pony.

    Have you ever gotten a look from a cat like it is questioning your sanity? I must confess, that's a new one for me. And made all the funnier because he's only got one eye.
    That cat should feel honored; he's a pretty pony now! Yay!

    My prediction? Season two will be the tipping point. I'm staying at a stable level of ponysanity now, but once new content gets in my system, my days are numbered. That, or it's going to come out of left field and I'll slip when I least expect it.

    I still haven't forgotten the various wagers, although I'm strongly considering opening the betting for another go, this time encouraging people to have a bit more confidence in the Amishman and go for "more than 7 days".

    Except with charizard. Charizard is just a beast. I can say with certainty that every generation- no! -every game, charizard gets stronger. He starts with slash, which in red/blue had a higher chance of missing outright than not being a critical hit. Yellow gives Charizard fly, and suddenly, he is the starter of choice. Silver/gold bring in Outrage, and now charizard is taking out dragons. Crystal had something, I think a holdable item. Emerald, ruby and sapphire give new breeding options. Leafgreen, firered, we get specialized growing for an even stronger fire move than before, as strong - maybe stronger than - Hyperbeam.

    Throughout his career, Charizard has been a King of Beasts. I don't know what diamond/pearl or black/white bring to our saurion master race, but I'm pretty sure the glorious Age of Charizard is still in full swing.
    Back in the day, I had a purebred level 100 Charizard. He was the only Pokemon I used throughout the entire game. Type differences stop mattering once you're ten levels higher than everything. And the gap just kept growing.

    Best Pokemon, or BEST Pokemon?

    What.

    And they even have a picture of what she actually looks like on the box, so you can tell that the toy looks nothing like her even if you've never seen the show.

    Also, what's with the insect it's apparently packaged with?

    1.) I have been thinking about the personality thing raised by Thanqol for a while now. I still fail to find distinguishable sub-personalities, but I have realized that I have something like 'security clearances'. There's the strictest one that only allows out the things I would be willing to show around complete strangers, in professional environments, etc; there's an intermediate one that lets out most everything else, which is in place around most of my friends and family; there's a sub-set of the intermediate one which is only for people I would trust my life to; and there's the super-strict one that's only for me and the things I don't share at all.

    2.) I am running into trouble with pony near-slip ups. The problem is that after chugging through all 36 chapters of Fallout: Equestria, I find some of the terminology (Stables, Tenpony Tower, Ment-als) more natural than the actual in-game terminology. Then cue 1-2 seconds of hesitation before discussing Fallout 3 things with non-brony friends as I desperately try to sort out which term is which...this is particularly bad because several of my friends have decided to replay Fallout recently...

    Yessiree, ЭВА would be pronounced very close to EVA. But I don't think it sounds very military-Russian.

    My favorite example is the TOS-1 Buratino heavy flamethrower. They don't care if the abbreviation sounds cool or not, if it's pronounceable or not (try to say PZRK (Man-portable air-defense system)). They have the most 'correct' and compound phrase for the object to be named, abbreviate that and add a number to the end. Sometimes some letters after that to distinguish modifications. Then they add a cool (or, in the case of Buratino, silly) name. Would you name a flamethrower Pinocchio?

    What does that mean for you? I have no idea. What exactly does EVA do? You just say just that, add "system" to the end, translate, abbreviate, add a random number, and then something like "Matryoshka" or "Beryozka" as a name. Here you go, all done. If you want, I can do the translating.

    if cooperative, will it be all player against a big bad or maybe something Euro like see who gets the most cupcake market production?

    or to make it simpler, what board games would you like to see ponified? Arkham Horror? Battlestar Galactica? Settler of Catan? Twilight Imperium? Saint Petersburg? anything you want to name.
    I'm going to go ahead and put forward Descent. I could very easily see it working with a scenario, or series of scenarios, in which the mane cast journeys through the Everfree Forest and the ruined castle to defeat Nightmare Moon. The game would have several players working together as the mane cast, while one player takes control of Nightmare Moon.

    I think that's an update of an old pony toy. I've got absolutely no idea why I think that though. *tries to cast Summon WJMill*

    (Whoops, completely slipped through my quote-cloud)

    ...and it looks like I forgot the third 'E'. I'm reminded on how crazy this language actually is.

    That particular 'E' is pronounced "Eee". So yeah, that is pretty close to EVA. Unfortunately, I don't know enough Russian to really help here. I can read it just find, I just don't know many words. Once you do find something, I can at least help with pronunciation.
    I'm developing a game. Let's see what happens! Complex.
