    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

    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

MLP Movie Promotion Still Going Strong! · 7:49pm Apr 5th, 2019

In honour of Season 9 of Friendship Is Magic starting tomorrow, let me share this bizarre sight.

Yes, the Smyths in town - the country's capital city, at that - STILL has this up after a year and a half. Negligent outdated promotion, eh?
[Smyths is basically our equivalent of Toys R' Us, except it hasn't gone bust].

I do get a smile every time I pass it; I even hum music from the movie sometimes. Usually the first few notes off Off to See the World, when DJ-Pon-3 switches records to it during the credits. I've always liked that moment.

Heh. There's a Smyths in the nearest largish town to me (about four miles away) but I hardly ever go in as it's in an awkward location for non-drivers. I'm now half-tempted to go and see whether they're doing this, though!
