Gawd my Internet is horrible tonight. :c
Thursday, 19-Jan-12 05:01:05 UTC from StatusNet iPhone-
@yodelerty I'm on AT&T, the worst DSL in the USA. acronyms!
-
@getacutiemark I'm on Telus, which is like Canada's AT&T.
-
@yodelerty Ew, Telus
-
@yodelerty they provide home internet services? mine drops every 30min. 1.5Mbps down/768Mbps up MAX
-
@tenmihara I know. I'm pretty sure our Internet hasn't been upgraded in several years.
-
@yodelerty well, atleast you wont have to deal with SOPA, right?
-
@getacutiemark My download speeds cap at about 160 kb/s. No idea about upload.
-
@yodelerty that is terrible. youtube buffering must take FOREVER!!!
-
@yodelerty I have heard nothing good about them, in spite of their award winning advertisments =P
-
@getacutiemark Yup. I can't watch anything 720p and up without waiting for a bit. 480p sometimes works okay.
-
@yodelerty i only go 240 or 360 most of the time. 480 seems too overwhelming for my connection
-
@tenmihara I like their ads, but their Internet service is sh**.
-
@getacutiemark 'Cause it always drops?
-
@yodelerty yeah. it drops more basses than DJpon3(too bad i never get to stream them)
-
@yodelerty Ads are awesome. I like the MLP ads. if you have hub in Canada, did you see the Chinese New Year one?
-
@getacutiemark Nope, no Hub.
-
@yodelerty where does MLP air then?
-
@getacutiemark Treehouse, a channel for toddlers. :/
-
@getacutiemark Canucks get Ponies on Treehouse TV, no Hub there
-
@yodelerty Hub is basically a 24-hour hasbro ad
-
@princessweetiebelle i don't like the ad breaks on hub, too long!!!
-
@getacutiemark I never get a chance to watch ponies on TV, anyway. I'm always at school or asleep.
-
@getacutiemark Haha my Austrian friend who watches new pony episodes on Stream complains about how there's so many ads, too. xD I guess it's an American thing
-
@yodelerty it airs on saturdays here. lots of ads.
-
@getacutiemark There are no ads when it airs here, so I guess that's a plus. There's no HD channel, though.
-
@princessweetiebelle yeah. nothing compared to Indian ads, though. I was once watching "Air Crash Investigations" on natgeo india. 30 minute commercial break! 30 MINUTES!!! D:
-
@princessweetiebelle On the odd occasion here and there I'll watch wrestling shows online, streaming from US channels, and the adverts are so obnonxious and high in quantity, I don't envy them at all in that regard! And yet people here moan about "Go Compare" which has bearable adverts by comparison!
-
@yodelerty thats why i am a pirate(i am indian, after all)
-
@getacutiemark I love dat pirating! :D
-
@princessweetiebelle That sounds like the best thing.
-
@princessweetiebelle yeah. indian ads are also funny! BTW, are you indian? O.O
-
@yodelerty Do you have a 360 or PS3? Just download an HD episode onto a USB stick, phone etc, plug it in via Micro USB and Bob's your uncle, you are now watching ponies on TV. ^^...Well, sort of. Closest I've come to it anyway xD
-
@yodelerty arggg. my friend at school gave me all the episodes in 1080P. Take THAT, US congress! (i might get banned for this)
-
@leonkfox Haha that's why I prefer to get physical copies of movies and TV shows, so I don't have to sit through ads
-
@yodelerty @princesssweetiebelle the ones i see on my channels are mostly beauty products and cars
-
@leonkfox I have a PS3, and all the episodes are on it right now. :D
-
@yodelerty It so bloody is. xD
-
@getacutiemark Nope, American with Russian background, I've just seen a few Indian commercials on Youtube
-
@yodelerty I have this app called AirPlayit on my iPod touch and my dad's iPhone which allows me to stream stuff from my computer at home. All the episodes! :D
-
@princessweetiebelle Can't say I blame you. :P
-
@princessweetiebelle awww... i am probably the only indian brony I know. maybe its the culture?
-
@yodelerty I have everything up to Hearth's Warming Eve. Stopped downloading when Hasbro put their foot down (I respect their wishes, and will procure legitimate episodes as soon as they are available)
-
@yodelerty Or you could be a smart person and copy them to the PS3's hard drive...that works too :P (I already have, but all I thought of just then was plugging in a USB device xD)
-
@leonkfox Take me to Britainland, where the ads have sexy accent
-
@tenmihara I'm not gonna stop downloading episodes until Hasbro provides me with a legitimate way of obtaining them.

@yodelerty iTunes not available in Canada?
-
@getacutiemark iTunes is; the show isn't.
-
@getacutiemark From what I know, many Indians are close-tact with their culture, so that's probably it. I'd love to see some more bronies from Asia and Africa~ most I know are from Europe and the Americas
-
@yodelerty darn... i find it interesting that ponyarchive.org redirects to thepiratebay.com...
-
@getacutiemark Yeah, I know. It's almost like it's telling you something... >.>
-
@princessweetiebelle yeah, indians hate me for it. My brother is a brony, though! :D
-
@yodelerty Buck you hasbro. amirite?
-
@getacutiemark I really, really want a legal copy, but they won't offer me a 1080p one to throw my money at...
-
@getacutiemark Nah, Hasbro has been cool to us, I guess. They've let PMVs and stuff stay, at least. They just need to think of other countries besides the one they're based in.
-
@eaglehooves I understand. Support the people who do their job! I actually would like it if it was independent. Like, once it stops airing, the production crew would make it a web cartoon. like cartoon without hasbro being a middleman
-
@yodelerty isnt MLP produced in Canada anyways?
-
@princessweetiebelle I know I'm changing the subject here, but about half a year ago you told me you knew me from an old site (presumably going back to 04-05) and if you'll pardon me asking, who WERE you? It's been driving my curiosity crazy for months. ^^; (you can PM me, or not answer at all if you'd prefer if you so wish xD Just asking out of the blue is all)
-
@getacutiemark Awesome! is he on here too~?
-
@yodelerty PMVs.... have you ever seen PON PON PON by Kyary Pamyu Pamyu(crazy J-pop)
-
@yodelerty They actually mentioned something about that; contracts with local broadcasting companies (such as Treehouse here in Canada) would be infringed if they released episodes before the show finishes it's primary run
-
@yodelerty I download them all via YouTube because Boomerang suck for airing MLP episodes, we still have to see a single episode of Season 2 over here and without YouTube we would all be waaayyy behind on the show and its episodes)
-
@getacutiemark Studio B is, but Hasbro is American.
-
@tenmihara btw, who is the author? i have too many results on Fimfiction
-
@getacutiemark It is, but Hasbro's American.
-
@tenmihara We have the first season, so why can't they release that?
-
@eaglehooves fair enough
-
@leonkfox We haven't got a single season 2 episode either. And the show is basically made here!
-
@yodelerty fair enough
-
@getacutiemark The original story isn't on FiM Fiction (I think) Kkat is the author's name. http://www.equestriadaily.com/2011/04/story-fallout-equestria.html Here ya go
-
@tenmihara its blocked on my work computer...i'll check it out tomorrow
-
@yodelerty :/ To quote Spill.com, "That is some ol' bull****" it really is. I would prefer to support the show properly, but until an import friendly DVD comes around...yeah.
-
@colfax If I may ask...colour corrected? (I know what it means xD I mean...what's wrong with the colours on other uploads? All the ones I have on my phone look fine)
-
@leonkfox Or a Blu-ray, so I can orgasm at the 1080p goodness.
-
@getacutiemark O.o They actually know enough about EqD to block it? Or do they just use a whitelist?
-
@getacutiemark Get back to me when you do; I love discussing the story. Be warned though; you may get attached to the characters. I cried no less than a dozen times through the reading of it
-
@leonkfox You mean... Color? ¯\(°_o)/¯
-
@yodelerty I would finally pony up the money for a blu-ray player if they did that.
-
@eaglehooves they know.
-
@leonkfox Messaged you~
-
@technopony0vinylscratchrecollor Only in America. Everywhere else uses colour.
-
@tenmihara i will definitely read it soon!
-
-
@technopony0vinylscratchrecollor No, the word is spelt differently. If spoken in an English accent, dialect etc the American "Color" reads as "Co-LORE" not saying it's incorrect to spell it as "Color" just saying it's different here.
-
@yodelerty Once again, an 'Only in America' saying. AMERICA APPROVES.
-
@technopony0vinylscratchrecollor USA! USA! USA! SOPA!
-
@technopony0vinylscratchrecollor AMERICA ALWAYS APPROVES OF THEIR OWN SPELLING.
-
@leonkfox Actually it is CORRECT. The 'OU' suggests Col-oor.
-
@princessweetiebelle Read your message...would you banish me to the moon if I said I didn't really remember that username too well as it had been a while? ^^;
-
@yodelerty U mad rest of planet?
-
@yodelerty america is the world! everyone else is irrelevant! Am I right, fellow americans? (sarcasm)
-
@getacutiemark Yes! CAPITALISM AND WARS FOR NO REASONS FOR ALL.
-
@technopony0vinylscratchrecollor No, there's reasons for them... they're just really REALLY stupid reasons.
-
@eaglehooves We mad, America! >:c
-
@technopony0vinylscratchrecollor Um, like I said, it reads differently to English people than it does to Americans, hence the different spelling o.o You're reading the English spelling in an American dialect, like I said previously the American one if pronounced by me would come off as "Co-Lore" but why is this even being made into an issue anyway?
-
@getacutiemark Awesome ^^ Hope you like it; I'll be the first to admit it's not for everypony, but for those who can handle it, there's nothing else like it

-
@leonkfox America is an English country. Just like Mexico speaks Spanish and not Mexican, We speak English and not American.
-
@yodelerty We're mad at ourselves, you'll have to wait. :p
-
@leonkfox Nah really, and I dont have that power anyway!
-
@eaglehooves Yeah, I know, but it doesn't mean I can't be mad in the meantime!
-
@technopony0vinylscratchrecollor The languange came from England before it was ever used in America :S
-
@princessweetiebelle Oh, well that's good :D
-
@leonkfox And yet we defeated England many-a-times. So therefore we win. Also England is mean. Hence the Revolutionary War.
-
@technopony0vinylscratchrecollor Ok, you really need to stop talking before you hurt yourself...
-
@technopony0vinylscratchrecollor I can't believe I'm seriously getting into this argument over me spelling the word "Color" the way it is where I come from. This is ridiculous, you do know that right?
-
@colfax I'll talk if I wish. This is America, baby! WOOOHOOO!
-
@technopony0vinylscratchrecollor Maybe, but this site isn't a democracy.
-
@leonkfox (Yes. You caught on to my scheme. I spell it Colour too, anyways.)
-
@technopony0vinylscratchrecollor >Generalising an entire nation over what their governments did 300 years ago.
-
@colfax So what? I'll keep arguing if I wish.
-
@princessweetiebelle Hey, it's what happens everywhere in the Universe.
-
@technopony0vinylscratchrecollor Like I said, this site isn't a democracy... and I'm one of those that help run it, care to rethink the attitude a bit?
-
@technopony0vinylscratchrecollor Case in Point; Everyone still hates The Doctor for killing his own race 900 years ago.
-
@technopony0vinylscratchrecollor Also, English is not an American property just because the US is a superpower. It belongs to everyone that speaks it. America has no official language, either. Please stop with the nationalism, I think you're offending people.
-
@princessweetiebelle So what? I was born to do that. BE OFFENDED. Have fun being Butthurt.
-
@princessweetiebelle american english is. But, english is a very practical and straightforward language. it should be with everybody!
-
@getacutiemark It's also one of the most confusingly cherries-backwards languages to have to learn if it's not your first language.
-
@colfax Oh big whoop. I won't be turned away by threats. But yes. ARGUMENT OVER. I already ended it.
-
@technopony0vinylscratchrecollor Well, not me only.
-
@colfax yeah. it is. but its practical to learn
