[color="#9932CC"][font="Microsoft Sans Serif"]I'd love to participate, but I'm not sure I'd have the time or the patience to do so...school usually drains so much out of me and I've never been a real competitive battler. We'll see, I guess. EDIT: I guess I'll throw my weight in and see what I can do. I'll either go with Ghost or Psychic; my Chandeulre is my baby, but my main team already has Victini, Starmie, and Gothitelle, so.[/font][/color]

[color="#9932CC"][font="Microsoft Sans Serif"]I second Litwick; I fell in love with its final evo [Chandelure] and had to have one. I use it more than I use my starter, which is a first. But yeah, the elemental monkeys [I lol'd at "Stirfry", btw] lose their usefulness after the first gym. They're really not that good.[/font][/color]

[quote name='Stephanie' timestamp='1301467481' post='706104']1: o_o I... I'm not sure if that's good or just proof of JUST how pathetic that song really was.[/quote] [color="#9932CC"][font="Microsoft Sans Serif"]Well, I went to look for it now and it turned back up...but for a while yesterday, it didn't turn up in searches. I think maybe the person who uploaded just got tired of hate comments? I dunno. But that's also what disabling comments is for.[/font][/color] [quote]2: That made me giggle snort.[/quote] [color="#9932CC"][font="Microsoft Sans Serif"]Our interactions have that effect on people, I've noticed.[/font][/color]

[quote name='James' timestamp='1301461224' post='706096'] [font=palatino linotype]I think Boo is just throwing anyone under the bus so that he doesn't have to face the consequences. But believe me, he [i]will[/i] face the consequences.[/font] [/quote] [color="#9932CC"][font="Microsoft Sans Serif"]Can we film it and put it on Youtube!?[/font][/color]

[color="#9932CC"][font="Microsoft Sans Serif"]Speaking of memes, I have just received word that the Friday video has been removed from Youtube. I'm not quite sure what to make of that.[/font][/color] [quote name='The Professor' timestamp='1301444070' post='706087'] [font="Comic Sans MS"]It has come to my attention through trusted third-party sources that many of you here are rather taken with a certain Water-type pocket monster, hereby referred to as "Mudkip".[/font] [/quote] [color="#9932CC"][font="Microsoft Sans Serif"]Remind me to kill you later.[/font][/color]

[color="#9932CC"][font="Microsoft Sans Serif"]OVER 9000 comes from a line delivered in a completely hamtastic and over-the-top fashion in one of the old Dragonball Z dubs. [center][media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SiMHTK15Pik[/media][/center] I'm not entirely sure how it got so popular [I'm sure a trip to Know Your Meme would enlighten me, but I am lazy right now], but for awhile, it was [i]everywhere[/i].[/font][/color]

[quote name='James' timestamp='1301441955' post='706077'] [font="Palatino Linotype"]Now, possibly this could use its own topic, but I figure I'll ask right here - do you guys have a [i]least[/i] favourite Internet meme? I mean, something that became popular and every time you saw it, you cringed. I think there may be a lot of people who felt this way about the whole rickrolling phenomenon as well (although I was pretty indifferent to that, myself).[/font] [/quote] [color="#9932CC"][font="Microsoft Sans Serif"]OVER 9000 used to send me into fits of rage. Now I don't really care anymore. I'm also not wildly fond "SCREW THE RULES I _____________" or whatever, but that's mainly because I've never been fond of that certain abridged series. I've also never liked the SO I HERD U LIEK MUDKIPZ thing, either. But I think that's about it; I usually ignore most of them if they annoy me too much.[/font][/color]

[color="#9932CC"][font="Microsoft Sans Serif"]LOL I didn't see that. XD I just laughed at the comments saying how the first person to decode it would be the prime suspect.[/font][/color]

[color="#9932CC"][font="Microsoft Sans Serif"][url="http://news.yahoo.com/s/yblog_thelookout/20110329/ts_yblog_thelookout/fbi-asks-public-for-help-breaking-encrypted-notes-tied-to-1999-murder"]Is it bad that I kinda wanna try to figure this out?[/url][/font][/color]

[color="#9932CC"][font="Microsoft Sans Serif"]Honestly Canz, I didn't think it'd be the kind of show I'd like either, but look what happened to me. It's up to you, though, so. As for a favorite character, most of them have aspects about them that I like. But if I had to narrow it down, then Fluttershy, Dash, and Twilight are my top three.[/font][/color]

[color="#9932CC"][font="Microsoft Sans Serif"]While I can see how "not shutting up about it" can be annoying [I could make a list of what all I've had to put up with, but I won't], I don't think countering it with OH I WILL NEVER WATCH THE SHOW EVER is any more fair. I don't really understand why people feel the need to carry around Hype Aversion like it's some sort of badge of honor. Also I did make a thread to contain the spazzing, and that's only been working so much. So you can't fault us for not at least trying.[/font][/color]

[b][size="5"]YES.[/size][/b] Though the time worries me. :/ Although is that EST? If it's EST, then it won't be so bad CST...[/font][/color]

[font="Microsoft Sans Serif"][color="#9932CC"]Well, like I said, Faust [i]wanted[/i] it to be a magical girl show; Hasbro just wouldn't let her. Although that doesn't really explain why the main conflict is resolved so quickly like that...I guess to avoid an unnecessary cliffhanger? I dunno.[/color][/font]

[color="#9932CC"][font="Microsoft Sans Serif"]True. Still, to the average person, they wouldn't know that, since a lot of magical girl series still soak everything in glitter and sparkles and all matter of girly colors. Oh, and for series made for females, Sailor Moon was also definitely one of those, but that's also pretty much responsible for magical girl anime as we know it. ANYWAY, to keep this on topic, I'm still disappoint that this didn't actually become a magical [s]girl[/s] pony show like Faust wanted. It would have been interesting. And I object to the notion of girls not being able to join in midway; I joined in the aforementioned Sailor Moon about midway through the first season when it aired, and I loved it anyway. It's not impossible to make a magical girl series still be episodic [heck, quite a few of them are]...but oh well.[/font][/color]

[color="#9932CC"][font="Microsoft Sans Serif"]Honestly, as much as I give Ace grief for liking this show [playfully of course], I find it absolutely no different from guys watching romantic comedy, slice of life, or magical girl anime. [Although there may be some justification for that last one. *cough*] And on the flipside, it's no different from girls watching shows targeted to boys, especially shonen anime. I think the only reason people are really going WTF over it, outside of the fact that it's My Little Pony, is because it's an American cartoon. [/font][/color]

[color="#9932CC"][font="Microsoft Sans Serif"]Something that I just now noticed...[/font][/color] [quote name='Felix the Cat' timestamp='1301138739' post='705952']I couldn't find Episode 21 D: The Hub doesn't have it yet either! I want MOAR Pony![/quote] [color="#9932CC"][font="Microsoft Sans Serif"]Can you actually view videos on The Hub's site, Felix? I figured it'd be region-locked, but if it's not, then that's definitely different. I'm watching episode 10 right now. Reproducing by puking. I'm not sure what to make of that.[/font][/color]

[color="#9932CC"][font="Microsoft Sans Serif"]Alright guys, let's settle down now, shall we? So...um...hi. Sup. You know what sounds good right now? Food. I wish I had some on hand.[/font][/color]

[quote name='JeJe' timestamp='1301153227' post='705954'] [color="#556B2F"][size="3"][font="Times New Roman"]...wait what? Was that the famous Flutterguy or what? Oo[/font][/size][/color] [/quote] [color="#9932CC"][font="Microsoft Sans Serif"]Yes. You need to catch up, lady. ...even though I'm one to talk; that was the one I watched last.[/font][/color]

[color="#9932CC"][font="Microsoft Sans Serif"]Nyeh, everybody's a critic. :insertoldangryemotethatshemisseswhenarewegoingtogetthembackaugh:[/font][/color]

[color="#9932CC"][font="Microsoft Sans Serif"]There are other channels, gaiz. I linked you to another one, so there's that. V: Anyway, I guess they're doing something similar to what happened to a bunch of famous Let's Players last year -- bog the account down with a bunch of bogus copyright claims, and the account will be taken down. Youtube's system is easily abuseable like that, sadly. Most of those accounts got reinstated, but this is a slightly different situation, so. But yeah, there's other channels. That just happened to be the one /co/ mainly used, I guess.[/font][/color]

[center][IMG]http://i53.tinypic.com/1rq9eh.png[/IMG][/center] [color="#9932CC"][font="Microsoft Sans Serif"]Oh sweet jiminy, where do I begin? Well. I'm sure most of you have heard of My Little Pony, right? The girliest of girly things, it's a cartoon and toy line made by Hasbro in the 80s, serving as a distaff counterpart of sorts to Transformers. It's still around, and last year it resurfaced in this newest series. Subtitled "Friendship is Magic", it serves as a reboot to the franchise. Perhaps most notably, it is led by Lauren Faust, wife of Craig McCracken, who is probably best known for The Powerpuff Girls and Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends, both of which she also wrote and directed. Her goal was to make a girls' cartoon that didn't fall into the inane stereotypes of the genre, using a strong cast of females, and plots that don't involve fretting over boys and fashion [Rarity's love of fashion notwithstanding, though even she breaks the trend by [i]starting[/i] trends, as opposed to following 'em], while using the witty and clever humor her other shows are known for. It has succeeded, but in perhaps the most backwards way possible -- while still a show that everyone can enjoy, most of the audience consists of 17-34 year old...boys and men. Admittedly, though, the fact that the show is currently 4chan's /co/ board darling is [s]probably[/s] most definitely the reason for that. Now it's gotten theOtaku and Otakuboards in its grasp [although the core fans here are mostly female so far, inverting the subversion that was meant to be subverted but wound up being inverted and ow my head], and I figured "HEY, why not make a thread for it so we can contain our spazzing?" And here we are. Oh, and for those curious, this show airs on The Hub, and recent episodes are on its site. [spoiler]Though Hasbro has, at the time of this writing, been somewhat generous with keeping the past episodes on Youtube. But you didn't hear that from me. *cough*[/spoiler] or not since apparently trolls are now bogging them down with false copyright claims. We'll see what happens, I guess. Onward, my fellow bronies.[/font][/color]

[color="#9932CC"][font="Microsoft Sans Serif"]I'm impressed that you actually went looking for that.[/font][/color]
