I really wish people would stop calling visible pixels 8bit... There's so many things about this game that do not make it remotely 8bit.
Other than that, it's a pretty shitty game that uses the gimmick of MLP... Fucking all my nightmares in one right here... Ugh.
EDIT: Wow, once you unlock Rainbow Dash, you get to see just how broken and poorly designed this piece of shit is...

I saw the blue (ice?) level for the first time tonight. On one playthrough I lucked out and got a jetpack on the first level and bought a shotgun on the second... I was fully prepared, only to die to a damn totem spike trap in the jungle because I was careless...

Hmm, for some reason I like to imagine that you're some seasoned game industry veteran who hides his identity because you're so fed up with being popular that you ever been so far even as decided to use go want to look more like.

I have no idea what "Chridoff" is, but I'm glad that the ruling elite keeps finding way to make americana dumber every day
I think it's another 21st century "Internet Surrealist" like every other dime-a-dozen 19-year-old on Twitter. OMG I'M SO EDGY AND I POST SURREAL OBSCURE NONSENSICAL THINGS AND HAVE THOUSANDS OF FOLLOWERZZZZZ I'M 2 LEGIT 2 QUIT YOLOLOLLOL
Yeah, I did that shit 10 years ago before it was fucking cool, and I am legitimately weirder than any of these fags because I've collected my piss in bottles and masturbated with lubed up bubble wrap. Come at me.**
**Except for sigvatr; that man is legitimately insane, I believe.Actually, I made all that up

On my first try I messed up a few times and only got a 78. I tried again and the best I got was 103. I don't typically type that fast unless I'm chatting and trying to say a lot at once. Otherwise, I probably average around 60 - 75 WPM.

It's funny... I wanted to develop a pocket-sized console to run Windows exes with audio, video, and control input. It would have to be something small enough to fit in your back pocket (or slightly larger) with RGB out, a A/C in, and two USB ports that would be used to transfer files (if you had it hooked up to your PC) or plug in controllers like gamepads or mouse/keyboard (if you've got the console hooked into your TV already).
The OS would simply have a HUD listing your files that you could select and run, as well as on-board controller configuration and other settings (like an emulator). The console was meant to be a way to play indie games on your TV with controllers to get the console experience away from your PC. Now that most people use HDTVs, it's a lot easier to output video games to their TV from their PC.

anne hathaway is super hot you take that back
So "super hot" is looking like Quasimodo with your eye sliding off your face even after copious amounts of Photoshop and make-up?? http://www.moviesandtvhistoryguy.com/anne-hathaway.jpgI don't like her "large-to-the-point-of-being-grotesque" features and she seems like the type of woman who continues to smell even after washing up... Yuk!

It's not, and religion is widely criticized for being a cult of fanatics. I just don't really see the distinction between that cult and this one.

I think there is a stark difference between fans of My Little Pony and Bronies.
I am a fan of Adventure Time, Chowder, Regular Show, etc. I enjoy watching those shows. I am a fan.
If people are fans of My Little Pony, that is fine. I am happy they have something they can watch and enjoy.
However Bronies take it to a whole new level of fandom. It's like the Otaku who marry their pillow or marry a Love+ character. It is, just in general, taking something too far. I don't like seeing a million pony avatars, seeing fanart, and hearing about it constantly.
It's not accurate to generalize them into two groups like this. There's a whole spectrum of behaviors among fans. It does seem like My Little Pony has a relatively large vocal minority of obnoxious fans, but there are far more perfectly reasonable ones who know when to keep it to themselves. I'm a huge fan of the show, and I don't have a pony avatar or (usually) bring it up outside dedicated discussion forums. Like anything else, you have to learn to filter out the vocal minority in order to get an accurate picture of the fanbase. Making character judgements about someone based solely on their taste in media is ignorant and bigoted. I agree with this, I love watching MLP, it's got great animation, voice acting, it's very cute and is a blissful break from all the dark, macho misogynistic media that the rest of life is flooded with. But I don't go calling myself a Brony, I would never recommend the show for anyone else to watch because I don't think they would see the same things in it that I do. I would expect most guys to be repulsed by it's girlishness, if you're even the slightest bit insecure about being a man then being seen watching MLP will make you feel as if there is a chorus of macho men over your shoulder calling you a fag. There has to be a better way to get in touch with your feminine side than something that's all sparkles and rainbows like this show... I mean, to even call this show feminine is almost mockery. But hey, gender roles... I do agree with your post, and I appreciate/get what you're saying. I think it's easier to hate bronies because unlike other rapid fandoms (which are ALWAYS annoying) bronies in particular hit on another touchy subject; gender roles. Grown men aren't supposed to like stuff like this, and when they do it's either "faggy," creepy, or both, according to society. Granted, I don't really agree with society as a whole on most things, but the MLP fandom does rub me the wrong way. Maybe it's just an excuse to feel better about my own pathetic life by seeing people that are 10x more pathetic than me? But maybe I'm looking too deep into things. I honestly don't think I could hang out with anyone featured in those videos, and I've hung out with some extremely nerdy/weird/queer people in my life while enjoying their company. I think the thing I'm mostly just opposed to is any sort of bandwagon/group/community. I am attracted to individuality.
