    Ghost Mike's Ponyfic Review Monday Musings #111

    It’s probably not a surprise I don’t play party multiplayer games much. What I have said in here has probably spelt out that I prefer games with clear, linear objectives with definitive ends, and while I’m all for playing with friends, in person or online, doing the same against strangers runs its course once I’m used to the game. So it was certainly an experience last Friday when I found myself

    Ghost Mike's Ponyfic Review Monday Musings #110

    Anniversaries of media or pieces of tech abound all over the place these days to the point they can often mean less if you yourself don’t have an association with it. That said, what with me casually checking in to Nintendo Life semi-frequently, I couldn’t have missed that yesterday was the 35th anniversary of a certain Game Boy. A family of gaming devices that’s a forerunner for the

    Ghost Mike's Ponyfic Review Monday Musings #109

    I don’t know about America, but the price of travelling is going up more and more here. Just got booked in for UK PonyCon in October, nearly six whole months ahead, yet the hotel (same as last year) wasn’t even £10 less despite getting there two months earlier. Not even offsetting the £8 increase in ticket price. Then there’s the flights and if train prices will be different by then… yep, the

    Ghost Mike's Ponyfic Review Monday Musings #107

    Been a while since an Author Spotlight here, hasn’t it? Well, actually, once every three months strikes me as a reasonable duration between them – not too long that they feel like a false promise, but infrequent enough that you can be sure it’s a justified one. And that certainly applies to this author, a late joiner to Fimfic but one who’s posted very frequently since and delivered a lot of

Awesome Time To Be Awesome Cover · 4:15pm Nov 4th, 2018

Though I love a lot of what the fandom does, covers and custom music is rarely that which really get me in a personal way. And I've come to love the series' musical style for sure.

This is one of the few exceptions. I dunno why, it just strikes a chord with me. I've listened to it enough that it appears regularly in my YouTube mix, so that's something. I think Crusader really captures the essence of the original piece while taking it in a personal, acoustic direction, and the diction of his voice and the melody does a really good job of keeping the pace. So it's still really fun. Plus, he ends the song really well, rather then trying to replicate the minute-long instrumental backing then ends the actual version.

If you haven't heard it before, well, enjoy!

I'm quite fond of Crusader! I'm not an especially huge rock fan, but this being a Rainbow Dash song it seems to fit pretty well. Agreed about the ending, too. :)
