Hey, just noticed the new guy.

Hey new guy! Welcome to our shared insanity!

Welcome, new guy. We're not murderers.

We just need you to give us your credit card details and your PIN, and then you may join us in the Batfuck. It's like the Batcave, but better.

Greetings everyone. What's going on over here?

Trying too hard to be crazy again.

My drawing tablet is really badly scratched.

Honestly, I'd call it subpar as the series goes. The second half, anyway. I suspect the crew were kind of getting their bearings at that point.

It's not bad, but every other season opener/closer blows it out of the water (yes, including Season 3).

Wow, already? How'd that happen?

Hi, Marq! Nice to see you here! Glad you're enjoying it. I should warn you that Slice of Life episodes are more common than adventure episodes. Keep up the reactions. We enjoy them. And don't worry. Good!Luna is AWESOME.

My Roommate has something he refers to as the '8 episode challenge', being that he figures the first few episodes probably won't hook people, give it until episode 8 and you'll know if you like it or not.

I, personally, adored the first couple of episodes, though I'll admit they are far from the best of the bunch.

True.

Over use I think. It's got a big ring of scratches right in the middle.

Do we have the questionare for the new guy?

Yeah, the early episodes aren't as good as they get later on. It's why I usually suggest starting with Dragonshy.

I think it's a bit early to ask Marq the questionaire. He probably doen't have a fave pony yet, or even an opinion on any background ponies. He barely knows Pinkie and Applejack and he hasn't met Trixie. Can't ask for favourite episode or song yet, obviously.

EDIT: Whoops! Didn't expect that to be a double post.

so does any one have an idea for a Threshold Guardian for Rainbow Dash?

Have you been drawing with an icepick again, Apple?

Random idea: Wouldn't it be awesome to have an MLP mod of Kirby 64? Pinkie is Kirby, Dedede is Rainbow, Fluttershy is Ribbon, and I can't think up the rest. But darkmatter would work nicely as Sombra.

I mean the Invincibility theme practically fits Pinkie's energetic personality perfectly.

Oh and a new guy!

Speaking of which, back in May, MLP got added to Treehouse's on Demand service. Unfortunately, they only add two episodes each month, and you have to wait until the start of each month to get more (The first two parter was in May, then 3 and 4 in June). Today, they just got episodes 6 and 7 (because they're really picky about Griffon). I somehow thought that these encodes would be different from the station's airings because of how Episode 1 was stretched vertically for the On Demand version (supposedly to fill a fullscreen TV). However, I checked Boast Busters today to see if it being On Demand would affect its censorship. I guess not.

Not to spoil too much, but most of the major villains are defeated in 2-parters, and there are several one-off antagonists that are dealt with in their one episode. Only a few make return appearances.

Ponies get shit done. None of this Joker Immunity BS...well, most of the time.

@Dark; So, Fluttershy gives Pinkie a Smooch of Victory at the end?

Still looking for ideas for Rainbow's Threshold Guardian. (And a Greek god associated with competition, I already used Hercules and the Gemini twins so they're out.)

The Threshold Guardian should be based on Dash's insecurities.

How about Nike, the Winged Goddess of Victory?

Yay, unintentional shipping!

[[Sarcasm Mode No, you've discovered my secret masterplan to spend months modding a Kirby game just to get Flutters and Pinkie to kiss. But that was totally what I w

@Mio, Nike could work But I still need ideas using Dash's insecurities against her. The premise of Chapter 51 is that Rainbow Dash has to race her Threshold Guardian on foot. The Guardian has to test her resolve buy turning her insecurities and fears against her, but I don't know haw they would work (Illusions of a booing crowd?)

Well there is also Hermes. He seems like the kind of God that would play on her insecurities. Plus he could seen as her mischievous side turned against her.

Oh sweet. I can actually use the free version of Game Maker: Studio. That might be worth looking into.
