S4: Twilight Time · 2:39am Feb 23rd, 2014
A CMC episode? Yes, please!
So, this episode dealt with the CMC's fall to the allure of popularity and their subsequent redemption by willing to sacrifice that popularity to tell Twilight the truth about what they did. If anything, I found it amusing how they seemed to buy into Diamond Tiara's flattery so quickly, given how they only ever seemed to be at complete odds with her in the past, and common sense would dictate that this minor show of appeasement means no change to who they still are: a pair of bullies that thrive in the schadenfreude in seeing the CMC squirm. With no surprise, this fact is proven true shortly after the pair's first meeting with Twilight when the CMC is asked to demonstrate the progress of their learning.
That hook's grip only sunk further when Diamond Tiara brings in the rest of their class to join them, and uses the popularity it gives them as a way to control their access to Twilight. With their reputation amongst their peers now drawn into the mix, the group at first accepts the proposal only to learn the hard way that it's become a rock-and-a-hard-place situation when peer pressure begins to kick in, and it's at this point where hindsight becomes 20/20. I won't spoil the rest of the episode further, but I'd like to say that it ended as it should have, with reparations given in all the right places and a shutdown given to the snooty two that only cared about the CMC because they knew someone famous.
Other tidbits:
- Twilight hasn't forgotten about the box.
- Twilight can be a slob when eating. Also may have a bottomless stomach.
- Ponies have fast food restaurants.
- Diamond Tiara unsurprisingly lives in a huge mansion on a gated estate. With this, we now know what it looks like.
- More background ponies, or foals in this case. Got some real zombie vibes when they were all bashing the gates to DT's mansion, especially with the drooling one.
- Spike is still a doormat.
Oh, and prepare for Titanfall.
"Oh, and prepare for Titanfall."
Xbox/360 or PC?
1864251 PC. I only have a PS2/3, and even then only a very few games for them.
1864291 Oh.
......Pooey.
1864291 PC is the master race.
May I ask what specs you have in your PC?
1864586
- Intel i5-3570K
- 8 GB RAM from Kingston (always used them)
- EVGA Geforce GTX 460 with 768 MB VRAM (several years old now)
- 1 TB Western Digital Black HDD
Been looking to upgrade the card for a while now, was thinking of dropping on one recommended by Tom's Hardware's monthly bang-for-buck lineup.

*has Titanfall*
*on PC*
M8, WE GUNNA GET GAME ON SOMETIME!
Titanfall on X360 for me... A good time to be had, if only quite limited (Battlefield 4 is still freaking out from some bugs here and there)
Also, I think Twilight may have a stomach like Jughead if she doesn't fatten up soon.
TITANFALL?! OHSHITOHSHITOHSHIT!!!
RUN FOR YOUR LIFES!!!
big *BADA-BOOOM*

Btw, is the PC beta for Titanfall still runing?
1865610 No, the PC beta is over. Only way to play it now is to wait until launch.
1868517 Yeah, I just saw it. I havent preordered yet but I might do. The game was pretty good and, asside a few slowdowns in titanmode, rather fluid on my rig (5 years old, budget gc, recently upgraded to Win 7).
