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
-
@thelastgherkin I voted last night, can you vote more than once?
-
@thelastgherkin I was about to do another of those for the new new arrivals :3
-
@colfax Something something different IP addresses/computers.
-
@thelastgherkin Took a bit of hunting to find out which one it was. I'd have to agree.
-
@takeshitakenji Whoops, I should have mentioned it's number five. NUMBER FIVE, EVERYPONY
-
@thelastgherkin Yep, I looked at his posts to find it.
-
@rotation Don't ssh me! YOU SSH
-
@thelastgherkin @rotation I use #SSH all the time: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Shell
-
@thelastgherkin Number 5 is alive. :3
-
@jinny HE IS A TIN CAN, ROBOTS DON'T HAVE FEELINGS
-
@jinny I just wish the sequel hadn't been so horrible.
-
@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
-
@jinny Stripped hell, melted down and sold for scrap is more like it.
-
@jinny I went to NY and nobody stripped me and put me on anything! Did I miss out?
-
@ceruleanspark Are you a sentient robot?
-
@colfax I'm guessing @ceruleanspark isn't made of precious metals then. :3
-
@colfax That too. xD
-
@jinny That's a shame, titanium is selling for a premium these days.
-
@colfax Am I sentient? Are you?
-
@colfax Yes it is a shame, a shame too that I am precious, but not a metal. xD
-
@ceruleanspark I once managed to convince someone I was actually a massive super-computer located a couple miles under the pentagon, does that count?
-
@colfax That just means you failed a Turing test.
-
@rotation Yes, Android Phones Dream of Electric Sheep too. :3
-
@jinny hi jinny
-
@ceruleanspark No, it means I used to hang around with morons.
-
@zach Haya Zachy. ^^
-
@jinny what's up
-
@colfax Given the proportion of morons to regular people, I took that as a given.
-
-
@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.
-
@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.
-
@thelastgherkin Even I would avoid tangling that buddy.
-
@ceruleanspark lol, Nice. But have you ever plugged in and turned on a frozen CRT? It rarely ends well.
-
-
@thelastgherkin Oh gog.
-
@ceruleanspark Have some adorable instead. http://fav.me/d3gzwal
-
@rotation Nope! Charles Dutton.
-
@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.
-
@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.
-
@colfax You can dramatically ram stuff through an LCD without getting a faceful of glass though.
-
@ceruleanspark Still, not much of a show doing that, lacks pizazz.
-
@colfax There is if you use a guitar.
-
@ceruleanspark Last guitar I had wound up with model rocket engines attached to it...
-
@colfax That seems pretty useless. Guitars aren't all that aerodynamic.
-
@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.
-
@ceruleanspark Not so sure, I think I've seen a spaceship designed to look like a guitar, though I can't remember where.
-
@colfax I'm guessing this was before 2001.
-
@ceruleanspark This was back when columbine was still only a flower.
-
@lilytheamazingfaintingpony The music video/animated Movie associated with Daft Punk's "Discovery" album, Interstella 5555
-
@colfax Before Doom was vilified in the media.
-
@jinny Before Doom, full stop.
-
@colfax So we know it was pre-'93
-
@ceruleanspark That's...not a credible source, then?
-
@jinny Long ago in a galaxy far far away.
-
@colfax I miss those times.
-
@lilytheamazingfaintingpony It's a spaceship. Aerodynamics is irrelevant.
-
@ceruleanspark I was thinking more about it being an extended art pop music video. Aerodynamics is *never* relevant in music videos.
-
@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?
-
@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.
-
@lilytheamazingfaintingpony Isn't that the plot of Homestuck?
-
@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.
