Here's a litmus test to see how long someone's watched the show and/or how well they know the fandom.
See if they get this joke.

I did say I was going to review Friendship Games, didn't I? My bad. I meant to, but studies piled up quick with the extra hours at work, plus a few personal events, kept that from happening. To put it simply, Friendship Games was okay. Not abysmal like the first film, but not quite as awesome as Rainbow Rocks. My main peeves are the lacking screentime for the Shadowbolts and the ending (Geez, Twi, reconcile with your squad at CP, not transfer to CHS).
It’s my 100,000,000th blog post! … in base 2. But this episode is still rather special to me. It isn’t just the one that gave us Cakelestia and proof that Equestria has no libel laws. It’s also the source of one of my first attempts at a non-crossover story. Let’s open up this issue.
The references. Good God, the references. Agatha Christie, Ian Fleming, Arthur Conan Doyle... Is it any wonder I've cast Pinkie as Discord's mother?
Except tiger. Very gauche.
OK, the gist of things:
1- Still focusing on game design work. Still doing One Game a Month, you can always find me there.
2- Still working on fic, including 4o2, alongside it. Nothing's dead, my posting schedule is just... comical. My apologies for this humor.
3- Commissioning a fic that I think many of you might enjoy. Keep an eye and an ear out for that.
4- Summer is awful and my nose agrees. My huge, engorged, hateful nose.
To paraphrase W. C. Fields (possibly,) never work with dragons or children. And when the dragon is a child…
Just a warning here, there are major spoilers in this blog considering the new 10 minute teaser released yesterday. Consider yourself warned.
So, first off, here it is:
And WOW, 10 minutes? That's like... half an episode, and a sixth total of the entire movie. Talk about spoilers. But YOLO, I shall watch it.
As some of you may or may not know, I recently upgraded my internet connection. I went from this:
To this:
So you are all aware of the Midnight Sparkle Friendship Games toy that has been in shelves for a while now. According to some, it represents Sci Twi corrupted with magic.
Now, I'd like to draw your attention to the toy's packaging.
Look at the background. What do you see?
Ponyville and CHS in some sort of rift.
Now I want you to reread PEG for me one more time.
Yeah, same thing.
A moral progress implies the possession of some sort of morals. I do assume that Sunset Shimmer has morals, even pre-reform. Note, though, that at this point in her character development, they are almost entirely self-serving ones.
If Sunset Shimmer had no morals, she wouldn't have been capable of her Heel Realization and Heel Face Turn a bit later, in Equestria Girls.
... I may be a little bitter that she glitched out and locked me into her romance after I rejected her.
Just a little.
Three years and a day ago, I decided to post some cards I'd thought up based on the Season 4 premiere.
Earlier this year, hawthornbunny created a searchable database of brony-made Magic cards, over half of which are now my creations. (When you make a minimum of twenty a week for that long and everyone else is focused on making an actual set, it's kind of inevitable. )
Too much time has been wasted playing Dark Souls 3 as of late. Im still attempting to beat the Abyss Watchers (im on try 33 now ). Its that blasted second stages fire effects that keep getting me
Anyways, aside from that, greys off at Canadian Bronycan so no working on updates for Dog and Zebra show
Firstly, thank you to everyone who gave me feedback on yesterday's blog. I've decided to go with the first option (which, if you're not reading this in your feed or a considerable time after it's been posted, should be visible in my recent blogs to the right.)
The pony game is coming along swimmingly. I'm at a point where I know exactly how to proceed to get things the way I want them, and all that remains is the drudgery of doing it.
I'm not sure when playtesting will happen. I'm tempted to put the entire thing together first, but I'll probably split the difference and start playtesting somewhere in the middle. I'll try to keep the bar update realistic.
I want to apologize for how long this review took. I tried playing through this game again, and I just... couldn't get through it. I have a very low tolerance, as I only play games for fun, and there was this one mission that just damn near killed this for me. Thankfully I've played this game a bit before, so I remembered it.
I've finished the hero animations for the Earth Pony, Unicorn, Pegasus, Zebra, and Nightwing hero classes. I will likely be tweaking these further by adding more shading texture to the non-Zebra hero images. I might save the shading tweaks until after playtesting begins—I haven't quiet decided yet.
