  1. Hey guys, go and vote for @pinhooves. Not 'cos I'm telling you to, and not 'cos he's our friend, but because his entry is actually the best one there. http://humblebronybundle.blogspot.com/2011/12/ponies-at-play-art-contest-entries.html

      1. @colfax Something something different IP addresses/computers.

    3. @thelastgherkin Took a bit of hunting to find out which one it was. I'd have to agree.

      1. @takeshitakenji Whoops, I should have mentioned it's number five. NUMBER FIVE, EVERYPONY

        Monday, 05-Dec-11 15:45:09 UTC from web
        1. @thelastgherkin Yep, I looked at his posts to find it.

        2. @thelastgherkin Number 5 is alive. :3

    5. @rotation I KNOW RIGHT!! <3 THAT LOVABLE ROBOT STOLE MY HEART FROM A YOUNG AGE, AND LIKE OMG!

      1. @jinny I just wish the sequel hadn't been so horrible.

        1. @colfax Gold Plated Johnny 5. :3 That's pimp, though he'd be stripped and put on cinder blocks in like 5 seconds in real New York City. :3

          Monday, 05-Dec-11 15:55:03 UTC from web
          1. @jinny Stripped hell, melted down and sold for scrap is more like it.

            1. @colfax That too. xD

              Monday, 05-Dec-11 15:58:55 UTC from web
          2. @jinny I went to NY and nobody stripped me and put me on anything! Did I miss out?

            1. @ceruleanspark Are you a sentient robot?

              Monday, 05-Dec-11 15:57:48 UTC from web
              1. @colfax I'm guessing @ceruleanspark isn't made of precious metals then. :3

                Monday, 05-Dec-11 15:58:41 UTC from web
                1. @jinny That's a shame, titanium is selling for a premium these days.

                  Monday, 05-Dec-11 15:59:15 UTC from web
                  1. @colfax Yes it is a shame, a shame too that I am precious, but not a metal. xD

                    Monday, 05-Dec-11 15:59:54 UTC from web
              2. @colfax Am I sentient? Are you?

                Monday, 05-Dec-11 15:59:30 UTC from StatusNet Desktop
                1. @ceruleanspark I once managed to convince someone I was actually a massive super-computer located a couple miles under the pentagon, does that count?

                  Monday, 05-Dec-11 16:01:07 UTC from web
                  1. @colfax That just means you failed a Turing test.

                    Monday, 05-Dec-11 16:02:22 UTC from StatusNet Desktop
                    1. @ceruleanspark No, it means I used to hang around with morons.

                      Monday, 05-Dec-11 16:05:32 UTC from web
                      1. @colfax Given the proportion of morons to regular people, I took that as a given.

                        Monday, 05-Dec-11 16:06:33 UTC from StatusNet Desktop
                        1. @ceruleanspark This was the same group where one got convinced to take his computer apart and set it outside in the middle of winter to kill a virus he had picked up, then to bring it back in, put it together, and boot it up before it could warm back up from freezing... we never saw him again.

                          Monday, 05-Dec-11 16:08:24 UTC from web
                          1. @colfax Oh. I managed to convince a guy to run his PC inside a freezer to boost his framerate, but it didn't have the desired effect. Apparently HP Laptops are more resistant to condensation than I had anticipated. Still, it was hilarious to watch him livestream from the inside of a chest freezer.

                            Monday, 05-Dec-11 16:12:08 UTC from StatusNet Desktop
                            1. @ceruleanspark lol, Nice. But have you ever plugged in and turned on a frozen CRT? It rarely ends well.

                              Monday, 05-Dec-11 16:13:48 UTC from web
                              1. @colfax Shards of glass and imploding vacuum tubes I would imagine. I used to throw hard disks out of the window for "secure destruction", but my current office isn't tall enough so I just have to to bash them with a claw hammer.

                                Monday, 05-Dec-11 16:17:02 UTC from StatusNet Desktop
                                1. @ceruleanspark That's what I miss with the current glut of flat panels monitors, if you pull an Elvis on them it's not as interesting as blowing the back out of a CRT.

                                  Monday, 05-Dec-11 16:18:56 UTC from web
                                  1. @colfax You can dramatically ram stuff through an LCD without getting a faceful of glass though.

                                    Monday, 05-Dec-11 16:20:34 UTC from TTYtter
                                    1. @ceruleanspark Still, not much of a show doing that, lacks pizazz.

                                      Monday, 05-Dec-11 16:22:11 UTC from web
                                      1. @colfax There is if you use a guitar.

                                        Monday, 05-Dec-11 16:22:46 UTC from TTYtter
                                        1. @ceruleanspark Last guitar I had wound up with model rocket engines attached to it...

                                          Monday, 05-Dec-11 16:23:40 UTC from web
                                          1. @colfax That seems pretty useless. Guitars aren't all that aerodynamic.

                                            Monday, 05-Dec-11 16:24:43 UTC from StatusNet Desktop
                                            1. @ceruleanspark Well, technically it wasn't flying... we made a rocket boat out of it and sent it skipping across Greenwood Lake in an attempt to declare war on New York State.

                                              Monday, 05-Dec-11 16:25:53 UTC from web
                                              1. @colfax I'm guessing this was before 2001.

                                                Monday, 05-Dec-11 16:26:28 UTC from StatusNet Desktop
                                                1. @ceruleanspark This was back when columbine was still only a flower.

                                                  1. @colfax Before Doom was vilified in the media.

                                                    Monday, 05-Dec-11 16:32:59 UTC from web
                                                    1. @jinny Before Doom, full stop.

                                                      Monday, 05-Dec-11 16:33:18 UTC from web
                                                      1. @colfax So we know it was pre-'93

                                                        1. @jinny Long ago in a galaxy far far away.

                                                          Monday, 05-Dec-11 16:35:22 UTC from web
                                                          1. @colfax I miss those times.

                                            2. @ceruleanspark Not so sure, I think I've seen a spaceship designed to look like a guitar, though I can't remember where.

                                              Monday, 05-Dec-11 16:26:21 UTC from web
                                              1. @lilytheamazingfaintingpony The music video/animated Movie associated with Daft Punk's "Discovery" album, Interstella 5555

                                                Monday, 05-Dec-11 16:27:25 UTC from StatusNet Desktop
                                                1. @ceruleanspark That's...not a credible source, then?

                                                  Monday, 05-Dec-11 16:35:11 UTC from web
                                                  1. @lilytheamazingfaintingpony It's a spaceship. Aerodynamics is irrelevant.

                                                    Monday, 05-Dec-11 16:36:27 UTC from StatusNet Desktop
                                                    1. @ceruleanspark I was thinking more about it being an extended art pop music video. Aerodynamics is *never* relevant in music videos.

                                                      Monday, 05-Dec-11 16:38:15 UTC from web
                                                      1. @lilytheamazingfaintingpony Or, in the case of this particular video: anything else that makes sense. I mean, the guy needs gold records to power up a doomsday machine and become the god king of the universe? What?

                                                        Monday, 05-Dec-11 16:44:39 UTC from StatusNet Desktop
                                                        1. @ceruleanspark What do you mean? Happened to me all the time when I smoked weed. I'd regularly dream that I was a Lawful Good Ringwraith out to save the world by turntabling.

                                                          Monday, 05-Dec-11 16:51:07 UTC from web
                                                          1. @lilytheamazingfaintingpony Isn't that the plot of Homestuck?

                                                            Monday, 05-Dec-11 16:51:56 UTC from StatusNet Desktop
                                                            1. @ceruleanspark Nah, my drug-fuelled visions were more gritty and urban and the gaming elements were an insane mix of DDR, Devil May Cry, and Lumines. All at the same time. And all in my head.

                                                              Monday, 05-Dec-11 16:57:40 UTC from web
