I dunno, I like the concept of glee style covers, but then maybe I'm just jealous because I never got to take chorus all through high school. Though their execution admittedly leaves much to be desired.

If Glee did one good thing it introduced me to Don't Stop Beleiving

Honestly, I know Glee isn't my type of show at all. But I'm almost positive that it's one of those shows that's OVERHATED

Like Justin Bieber

@Psi:Is it bad that I think that the South Park Rob Schneider video accuratly describes most of Rob Schneider's films?

Now that's not fair marston, you need to learn that being Rob Schneider...is harder than it looks. :P

• plays quirky music and slapstick sound effects*

@Kyler: It's more that I just don't really like the style as a whole, even if they made original music. I'm sure there are a few songs out there that I would enjoy, but for the most part it just isn't my type of music, and of all the music the show uses, it's a really safe bet that I'd prefer the original versions.

@Ginger: I know what you mean. I don't ''hate' Beiber, I just think that his popularity far exceeds the quality of his output and that there are other artists who deserve the attention more.

Music is always a hard thing for me to discuss. Since I'm totally unaware of what type of music I'd like until I've heard it. and it isn't consistant at all.

The only band where I've liked a good percentage of their songs is Nightwish

@JT at least nowadays, JB is actually pretty easy to avoid

I wouldn't know, I really don't pay any attention to what's popular at the moment.

You know what would be an interesting future episode? An episode where the main six play a game that's an Expy of Dungeons & Dragons. Among other things, there could be a bit where each of them takes it in turns being the Game Master to try to figure out who's the most suited for it. I imagine it would start with Twilight digging up the game from somewhere, and being the first game master. She'd build up the story of the game, only for Rainbow Dash to demand she get to the action sooner. And then shenanigans happen.

And it would involve bits of Deep Immersion Gaming, in the same vein as the Daring Doo segments from Read It And Weep.

AJ as the game master?

No, Pinkie, imagine all the deranged stuff she'd think up. We already saw her as a 'strategist' in Hearts Warming Eve.

Didn't Dexter's Lab do a similar episode?

edited 11th Jun '12 8:34:10 PM by Psi001

Yeah, that would be really interesting. Another similar idea would be to have the cast tell a round robin type story. I think it would be easier to get the plot started, and it would be easier to switch between them and switch genres. Like Rainbow Dash would put the whole thing in space or something.

Each of them would have a moment where they try to run the game their way. Not sure who would be the game master at the end. Twilight, Rainbow Dash, and Pinkie would probably not be the best (too much roleplaying, too many random encounters, and too many random encounters, respectively).

That could also work nicely, and yeah, it would get to the revolving story-types more easily.

Weirdly enough I think Rarity would be a good game master. She's dramatic enough that she'd have a good amount of danger, but she's also too fancy to run a pure "kill everything you meet" campaign. Applejack would have too many issues with rolling up monsters and whatnot, and Fluttershy would do away with combat altogether.

edited 11th Jun '12 8:34:49 PM by JapaneseTeeth

and not Fluttershy either. Probably Rarity actually. She has a flair for the dramatic. Something a good dungeon master needs. but would she actually be interested in playing the game properly and would she have fun?

Well, I was ninja'd and should go to bed.

Goodnight.

Twi would be the ultimate rules lawyer

Rarity would spend all her time descrabing all the little details of the setting/weapons/armor etc.. and never get to actaully doing anything

RD would be the overblown Me vs Them type that makes the group work for everything though unfair odds.

pinkie would just be random

Fluttershy would be to sacred to stand up to the group or do anything mean, giving them extra saving throws and bonues just so they wn't be mad.

AJ, AJ would probably be the best GM, as long as she doesn't think the whole thing is a waaste of time.

Rarity, I think, would enjoy a game like that. She relishes a good chance to flex her creative muscle, as it were.

I imagine she'd spend a day drawing her character, long before actually working out her stats, though.

As for characters: Twilight would be a mage, of course, Rainbow Dash would be a warrior or barbarian type, Fluttershuy would probably be a ranger or druid or somesuch, Applejack would also be a monk type, Pinkie would be a Bard or Dancer or something, and Rarity would be... I dunno. Something that focuses on dexterity or finesse. A fencer or rogue, perhaps.

edited 11th Jun '12 8:37:46 PM by Enlong

AJ for a flaw like the others could maybe end up with a Workaholic outlook and make the game too mundane for everyone else. Either that or her and RD could get too competitive.

Twilight would probably make sure everyone has the correct amount of puzzle pieces and go through the instructions several times over, while RD destroys everything in about one swoop.

Pinkie's would be...something to behold.

Rarity probably would draw away from any rough action, thus a large point of the game, while Fluttershy would try too hard to compromise with everyone else's plans, ruining the point of her being in charge.

Probably end up a 'compromise' episode where all of them take turns being the Game Master since either one doesn't get anywhere due to their own personality follies getting in the way.

edited 11th Jun '12 8:44:28 PM by Psi001

Rarity would be reluctant to get into it, but once things get going she'd probably enjoy it.

AJ and Rarity could work together as twin Game masters

And yeah, Fluttershy would probably end up being a Monty Haul GM due to being afraid of making her friends mad.

edit: A round-robin D Ming would be interesting. I can imagine Twilight setting up an intricate social encounter, only for control to pass to Rainbow, who immediately enforces Chandler's Law on the entire setup.

edited 11th Jun '12 8:40:49 PM by Enlong

And then at the end Twilight gets so frustrated that Rocks Fall, Everyone Dies.

I have no idea what an of this stuff means (has not played D&D and would likely not enjoy it)

Well classes

Twilight- mage or Wizard

AJ -Fighter/warrior

RD-Barbarian

Fluttershy-Druid

Pinkie-Bard

Rarity-Rogue, or a healer like a cleric or priest.
