Whatshisgame started it. Leider weis ich nicht, wie man es auf Deustch sagt.

I wouldn't say I started it, but I definitely helped the ball get rolling.
On a somewhat semi-related note, running "Welcome to the Crystal Empire, a magical place full of hidden secrets! The ponies shine and sparkle here! Princess Celestia and Princess Luna believe that Princess Cadance will bring happiness to the Crystal Empire!" through Translation Party
yields "Is a perfect Crystal Empire secret and hidden magic place! Sparkle sparkle pony here! Luna Cadance Princess Princess Celestia Crystal Empire hope happiness!"

Aha, ok.
Yeah, figuring out (and remembering) which verbs take haben and which ones take sein in the perfect tense can be annoying. It's extra frustrating for us Dutch people, because in our language it can also be either hebben or zijn, but the rules for it are different than in German, hence my mistake with anfangen. (In English, all verbs take have).

Post of the Day #100
Rarity doesn't seem to have other things to worry about, usually isn't that busy, and even has time to go to the spa sometimes. She has a little sister, but I doubt she takes care of her all on her own... And she's not the only one who seems to do a lot of work. Twilight is the country's top student of magic and had to study under Celestia directly, a lot of pressure for a kid to deal with- but, she lacked a social life until recently, alleviating some of the pressure. Applejack and Big Mac basically harvest a HUGE orchard of apples by themselves every year (Granny Smith is too old to help much, and Apple Bloom is too young). Pinkie plans parties for the entire town, along with anything else she has to do. Fluttershy lives alone in a large house and takes care of tons of animals, some of which are highly dangerous. The only one who doesn't do much is Dash.
@ Japanese Teeth: Yes, I know their ages are supposed to be vague. But, we can guess if we want to : P

@Midnight Out of curiosity, what are the rules for hebben and zijn?
@Midna They're all good, IMO, but Day 6 looks kind of flat to me.

Yeah, day 6 looks weird. I don't think the MS Paint spray brush works well.

Well, for a start, all transitive verbs (i.e. verbs that can have a direct object) take hebben, because for those verbs zijn would imply that it's passive:
'De wesp heeft gestoken' - The wasp has stung. 'De wesp is gestoken' - The wasp has been stung. * 'Ik heb overwonnen' - I have vanquished.
'Ik ben overwonnen' - I have been vanquished. For intransitive verbs it's just random, as far as I know. That's the Dutch language for ya. I remember from high school that in German, all verbs that imply movement (fahren, laufen, gehen, etc.) always take sein. In Dutch, this rule is applied far less rigorously. Hell, some verbs can even take EITHER hebben or zijn depending on the sentence.

It's not actually done in MS Paint, all of the drawings are done in Pixlr. It's supposed to have sort of a cutesy crayon-drawn style.
That it looks flat is sort of ironic, considering it was an attempt at using layers to show depth.

I just finished the Story Mode of Kid Icarus Uprising.
I have no words.
No words worthy of describing how brofistingly awesome this game is.
I have discovered THE LIGHT
My only complaints are that the difficulty can be misleading at times, and Hades' death feels anticlimatic. It was epic, sure, but I wanted to see Hades hurt emotionally, seeing as how he's been an utter bastard the whole game, not to mention smiling about it. It makes him feel like a karma houdini despite the fact that he was utterly obliterated at the end.
Well, I'm off to replay the game as many ways as I can. Also, I'm playing through Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Not quite as divine as the legends say, but still very good.

Sorry, but Day 6 definitely looks like it was done in Paint.

"YES THIS IS DOG" is an image macro meme involving a dog answering a phone.
