She's cooler, but AJ is much, much tougher, also instant hard cider upon pressing :D

YEAAAAAAAAAAAH! Also, some of the charges I'm calling are callbacks to earlier episodes. Aaaaand it's still less painful than Mousa's puns on Vent.

Oh haha, I just got that.

According to this episode she does. Unless she quickly put it on.

I made a joke first.

Dr Golden Syrup?

I'm trying to think of a name for him. I wonder if he's Caramel's twin?

Well, you should have thought of using the image macro. And (accidentally) timing it so that you grab a pagetopper in the process.

Animated exited Dash.

True.

Oh wow, I just noticed that Fluttershy has a nightgown on. I guess she was so embarrassed after last episode she started wearing one to bed.

So....not at a bad episode at all. But the dialog was a bit more stilled and forced then normal, also it was a bit exposition heavy.

But otherwise pretty good, especialy how RD ditced the letter to Celestia to rush off and finish the book....

I assume of course that Daring-Doo is already undergoing fanwank?

@Badwolf: In before somebrony uses that animation for less-than-savoury ends.

It's Daring Do.

D'aaaaaaaaaw

So judging by the ponies' states of dress. Pinkie, AJ and Twilight don't mind being accosted by Rainbow is the middle of the night. Rarity and Fluttershy do mind.

This is a very important picture for this thread.

Am I the only one who cringed HARD when RD tweaked her wing while attempting to escape? Dat noise! For some reason it went RIGHT through me

And the way it crumpled up. Horrible.

As somone who has tried to run on a sprained ankle that moment hit hard

@Ginger: yeah, I winced. Funny thing, my knees make a mechanical cricking as I walk, no pain but it sounds like I've got some Battlemech's knees.

Sweetie Bot :3

Trixie does a song from Disney's Aladdin

That Sweetie Bot is kinda creepy looking.

Now I'm imagining you with chicken-walker legs like the Adder.

Huh, overall, this was much better than my super negativity made me think it would be. Not great, but still good. Somewhere around the middle for me. Probably because the story parts were much less “RD self-insert” than the preview made them look. I'm far too lazy right now to make this giant post coherent, most of it's just going to be a bunch of comments. Rainbow apparently has never been in this position before, as her methods of entertaining herself were pretty bad. The lamp thing was great.

Only Rarity would take note of the gowns matching the curtains. Pinkie is now a grapefruithead. Rainbow, that is not how you eat. Ninja Dash was pretty amazing. “I’m not trying to steal your slippers; I’m trying to steal this book!” Yes, because that is so much better. Pinkie WOULD want to join the chase. I’m just going to stick this here: that filly nurse was really adorable.

And a final note before I talk about the story itself; if Rainbow didn’t want to be found out, why would she be reading it out loud?

To start, Twilight totally knew Rainbow would end up loving it. The story’s exposition was way too close to Rainbows situation. Coincidences like that don’t even happen.*

most of the time

I’ve actually…never seen any of the Indiana Jones movies, so I can’t exactly compare easily. These comments are just pretty much going to be random observations. How did they get ALLIGATORS on the CEILING? That seems inefficient and over the top. Why would the ancient ponies who built the temple even leave the rat markers there as such a semi-obvious clue if they didn’t want people to get by?

I’ve never understood the traps in these parodies; why would you WANT to fill the room with lava, thus potentially killing the thief/adventurer and destroying the artifact? How much lava would you even need? That death trap needed more death and more traps. I don’t think that’s how hats work, Ms. Do.

And is it bad that I really want to play that Battleship: Cloud Edition?

@42zombies on page 3504 This makes my inner mythology nerd very, very happy.
This looks… really weird.
Going to be editing this a ton to fix stuff. Bluh. Ohgod how did this post get so big.

@Drenius: Naw, my legs bend normally, not reverse-joint. I shouldn't have used the tactile feedback joints.

@Ginger: Close enough for me :V

She got so absorbed in the book that she forgot about being stealthy.

I'm happy that they didn't do the boulder, that's a tad cliché.

I loved Alhuizotl. He made me laugh. He was awesome
