@theowl You just gave me a great idea for how to go about a fic idea I have!
-
@theowl Hmmm...I guess that does make sense, since Fluttershy is older that does kind of fit. I just assumed they were all the same as fillies. Guess it adds to the theory she's the oldest of the bunch though, not just older than Pinkie Pie (since all of those stories in Cutie Mark Chronichles took place at the same time)
-
@theowl sort of as if she were almost pre-teen instead of young young. I figured that as much cause I didnt think they'd put fresh born fillies into flight training too fast.
-
@noizybrony @theowl But...forgive me for having the memory of a goldfish, but why and how did Chris Chan come up in the first place? o.O
-
@theowl I'll love and tolerate the kiwi out of anyone as much as the next guy, but Chris-Chan is just...j-just unfathomable and completely intolerable! I just cant!
-
@theowl I was kind of expecting it, since he enjoyed previous generations...how anyone could enjoy those as an adult is beyond me, I mean I may be being somewhat hyprocritical here since I enjoy a lot of things aimed at kids, but they usually have characters that aren't all carbon clones of one another, I like to think.
-
@theowl Nooooooo! Make the bad thoughts go away~ Q-Q
-
@theowl ...don't even joke about that. ;-;
-
@theowl Well, the FiM fanbase can be pretty out there sometimes, but even the worst this fandom has to offer PALES in comparison, and this is coming from a fan of both.
-
@theowl I guess I can see where you're coming from, and I have fallen into it at times I must admit, but then again, who hasn't? And in a lot of the instances with me it felt like there were actually problems with these things at the very core. But an example of a fanbase that I feel is heavily blinded by nostalgia is the Sonic fanbase, yes there have been plenty of bad newer games (Shadow the Hedgehog, Sonic 06...*shudders*) but even with the series improving people are still going on and on and on about how they don't live up to the Mega Drive games even when they can easily be seen as good games in their own right. It's irritating as all hell.
-
@theowl Well I gotta confess, even though I do enjoy watching WWE nowadays (it's improved a lot in 2011 since I felt it started going down hill) I don't think it's just nostalgia that makes me hate John Cena as "the big man" in WWE, I love CM Punk and The Miz and they weren't part of my childhood, I just don't like Cena period. Same goes for other things I like like Thomas (hey, this is an FiM community, I hold no shame!) the characters were much more well rounded than they are today, sometimes nostalgia can blind one's judgement, but it isn't always the deciding factor I feel.

@theowl Basically a burrito is a tortilla wrap, usually with refried beans, rice, and beef (or chicken). :P
-
@theowl say whaaaaaat?? you gotta eat a burrito some time. A-Ma-Zing. Oh, and when you do, keep it a rare/occasional thing, or it ruins the whole thing. :P
-
@theowl Right? It's like "hmm... maybe NOW i'll find a burrito! *opens freezer* ....i'll try again later..."
-
@theowl There are plenty of things that I think should revert to the way they were, but others that are better in their new form (could not think of a better example of this than My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic) but if you mean politically I am as far removed from a conservative as can be.
-
@theowl Oh man. i do that way too much! I go into the kitchen, open the fridge and freezer, and just stare endlessly until i realize "wait... do i want anything? What do i want?? OHGOD"
-
@theowl That was actually added in Here Comes the Pain in 2003, but I loved that as well, it added a degree of realism but was still arcady at the core, as was Smackdown vs Raw, but from SD vs Raw 2006 I just think they've been TOO realistic, at times more realistic than the product they're based on which still jars me to this day, and we're headed into WWE 12 (gonna miss the Smackdown name :()
-
@theowl now THAT is all too common. luckily for me, i found out the food i crave now is eggs and beans. :P
-
@theowl Oh, I did as well XD I didn't learn what angles, keyfabe etc were until just shortly before I'd stopped watching until earlier this year (2001 to 2005) but I would have thought more kids would have meant more arcady gameplay would be more appealing, especially nowadays where it's actually PG! (Mind you, even in the PG era the games have still had blood and heavy weapons useage, which I find odd, but I don't like to look gift horses in the mouth XD)
-
@theowl The revamp in controls didn't come until Smackdown vs Raw 2007. I think it was just how less arcady it was, and plus mid 2005 (Summerslam to be precise) was the year I started a 6 year hiatus from actual watching WWE so I guess that may also have something to do with it. The more realistic approach never made sense to me, professional wrestling isn't realistic, it has elements of sport but all in all the more arcady gameplay not only made more sense, but gave the games greater lasting appeal I think.
-
@theowl Exactly. Yet in spite of that, I can still play WWF Smackdown to the very first Smackdown vs Raw in 2004 and enjoy them about as much as I did when they were new. The same can not be said for SD vs Raw 2006 onwards, something just...changed after that installment.
-
@theowl I don't even play football games, I don't like football period XD I just used that as an example of a series where only the latest installment is worth playing to someone who's a fan, like Smackdown has been since Smackdown vs Raw 2006.
-
@theowl But Just Bring It also had the absolute worst storyline/season mode I have ever seen in my experience, it was just 3 matches, repeated scenarios like crazy...eugh. Mind you, the 24/7 Mode in Smackdown vs Raw 2008 wasn't much to right home about either.
-
@theowl Well it had the same gameplay as the first two...but that was the problem, the first two were PS1 games. Shut Your Mouth for some reason felt a lot better to play, but it wasn't until Here Comes the Pain that the series truly moved to what was at that time "The Next Generation" but sadly after the game that followed right after that (Smackdown vs Raw) the games while still fun as of Smackdown vs Raw 2006 have lost that appeal that made them still enjoyable beyond the year they came out, much like games like Fifa. Plus I kind of miss the arcady gameplay of the originals. I still like to buy and play them though.
-
@theowl anything to help out a fellow wastelander
-
@theowl and follow the tag skill tips I gave...I can safely say they are essencial...espetially in the later sections of the game
-
@theowl keep that link safe through...its useful for finding the weapons off the beaten track...and so far that guides the only thing that I found able to tell me how to find the unique chinese assault rifle...well, its not a guide per see...most of the weapon location files are seperate from walkthroughs so spoilers are non existent/rare...plus the DLC is pretty cheap...last I checked its was 800MS per DLC...
-
@theowl Just Bring It was actually my least favourite of the original series of Smackdown games (the original to the first Smackdown vs Raw) and the funny thing is I actually owned Smackdown vs Raw 2006,2007 etc...yet I never had the first Smackdown vs Raw until now. Now all I need is WWF Smackdown 2: Know your Role on the PS1 and I have the whole set XD (At least as far as Smackdown games go) I've not played a number of popular games this generation though, either (or at least not beaten them)
-
@theowl and put any spare into energy weapons afterwards and boost strength as well as getting the strong back perk...it may seem strange to go for energy weapons but *spoiler* when the enclave start popping up, you'll quickly have all sorts of fun energy weapons like lasers and plasma weaponry
