I came back to this site today and found my avatar screwed up... Look at it, can you read all of those words? No, but when I posted it originally, you could. Every other site on the internet uses square avatars because it's easy to code it requires no editing, but someone on FF wanted to show off how clever they were and spent a stupid amount of time coding an autocropper and having it run across every avatar on the site.

Last night between Mundis and Morpheus, I rolled over and opened my eyes to see the Build-a-Bear of Princess Luna laying next to me seemingly propped up on her side, smiling, as if ready for a relaxed chat. The look in her eyes and her knowing smile seemed to say, “I’ve been there too: the fear, the doubt, the blame and regret. I’m still here and so too shall you be.” Her hoof appeared to be extended and extending: my eyes saw no movement, but I felt her hoof press over my heart. I dare to

When dealing with magic, the concept of evil or dark magic tickles the prostate of imagination. It allows for an easy “bad guy” or “forbidden art” which by it’s very nature is alluring and coveted by most. This is completely understandable, but if a universe is going to include the concept of a forbidden anything, the reason for it being forbidden needs to amount to something greater than “mommy doesn’t want you to have the cookie.”

Tonight, I quit reading a story because it was retarded. Was the author retarded? No, I don’t think so, but the author clearly stopped thinking about the consequences of the world he or she was writing. I don’t even want to beat around the bush tonight: I was reading what was supposed to be porn, but it was not arousing because the author kept avoiding sex.

In today's world, video gamers have come to expect a backend system to be so solid that they never have to judge the mechanics of the game, only the graphics. The Legends of Equestria staff started with these outward appearances, and it indeed looks and sounds like a good game. The composers/musicians who have worked on that game did an amazing job, and don't get enough credit, in my opinion. However, for as much as the outside is polished the inside is unsophisticated, and that's what makes

In the comedy anime Kaiketsu Zorori, there is a contest for, if I remember correctly, presenting a new invention. Every entry in this contest turns out to be a self-boiling tea kettle. I think this is considered a beginners magic trick in Japan, but how each of them got their kettles to boil was different. One yelled at it, one embarrassed it, one just claimed it was the best thing ever, and when another famous character made a cameo appearance from Captain Frog making a grand

The real losers in the world want the world to be eaten by zombies, get nuked, or astorioid-ed, and they want this so that they can live out the fantasy of being the lone survivor with a gun and a bunker full of ammo and canned beans. I used to think that such people were jokes, but about five years ago I met a sixty something year old man who did all of this, and he was a loser.
