Well, this was supposed to have come out much sooner, but was held back for a number of reasons. One being, of course, that the mail service decided to be late in delivering the thing to begin with -- it only got here just this past Monday. And then there was the time spent actually playing it, the time spent on the side playing Atari, Game Boy, etc... But hey, at least I got around to it eventually, right?
The most recent version of The BFG didn't get a lot of press for whatever reason. But regardless, it is a great film. I really loved the book when I was younger. I've always been a big fan of all of the works of Roald Dahl, especially his lesser known short story collections aimed at adult readers. However, I've never been a big fan of the way many people attempt to make his stories into films or television shows. Mostly because they don't seem to get Roald Dahl's dark humor or wit and always
I am scared for the future of Friendship Is Magic but it isn't for the reason you might think. I do not think the show has declined in quality since season two. In fact, I tend to like seasons 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 a lot better than the first two seasons which looking back are a little too childish and had too low of stakes involved in each episode.
It's time for more unpopular opinions! Aren't those fun to have? So prepare your butts. The porcupine needles of opposing viewpoints are heading in your direction!
I finally got around to watching the Ghostbusters 2016 movie and I have to say; it's really not as bad as people are making it out to be. I thought that the plot was pretty decent. There was a lot of good humor and action. At the end of the day, I think all of the controversy around the film turned out to be kind of dumb.
I was not kidding about the CheesePie part, you guys.
So, yesterday, Gameloft updated the MLP app and I've been playing religiously to help with the community event. What is this event? Let me show you!
The new segment of "The Catch" is all set. Jesus dick-whittling Christ, this story...
Well...this was a train wreck. Uninspired animation. Boring dialog. Mundane characters. Stupid plot.
Dang it Emoji Movie; you were supposed to be the underdog.
You were supposed to prove us all wrong, despite having crappy trailers and cruddy animation.
You were supposed to be like a phoenix and rise out of the flames of your bad press.
But you decided to stay hidden in the ashes...perhaps as one of the Phoenix's turds.
My Little Pony Makeup Line??
My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic has a makeup line now. :/
As in with an actual makeup company/ line (not for kids, not an off-brand).
It was put out by a makeup company called PÜR Cosmetics.
Whelp, now I've seen everything.

Hey folks! My pal Greenfinger, who does illustrations for The Iron Horse and a few related stories. is celebrating his first year doing drawstreams on Twitch at 4:00 PM Central Time (US)!
His illustration of Best Pony, as a sample.
There are a lot of people on YouTube who do reactions to MLP episodes as well as MLP fan content. But in my opinion, MrCobaltSky is one of the best reactors in the community.
Well, it has been done for a while now, but this has been my longest chapter in "Elements" to date. I was honestly trying to cut it back twice now (once in the previous chapter "The Flameout"), but I found I needed to cover alot within the two chapters anyway... so, yeah.
In any case, next chapter will be up next week, and the final chapter of Part 5 will be done and up by the week after.
More Animated Shorts That Will Make You Smile
Yeah, so... I really need to stop becoming confident in the release dates of those multipart recaps. Ring is having catastrophic tech issues, it seems, so he's not been able to compile part four's recap. Given his account of the problem, it's a miracle we've even got a riff this week.
Here's the finished Mystery Jukebox Shuffle. Enjoy.
Things are going well. I am less sick now, and you should expect to see new and exciting content from me soon!
The first thing up will be a new short multi-chapter story on Monday, but there's more big news on the horizon.
