    No, seriously. TV Tropes always has the best summary, and this is it's for the show:
    The latest in the long-running My Little Pony franchise, My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic is an all-too-rare example of how to update a retro cartoon the right way. It brings clever self-aware humor, a more streamlined art style, and strong characterization.

    The show is also notable for being helmed by Lauren Faust, a highly accomplished, Emmy Award-nominated animator, and wife of The Powerpuff Girls and Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends creator Craig McCracken. Friendship is Magic is her attempt to rescue the genre of girls' cartoons by presenting a clever show with a strong and diverse cast of female characters who aren't pre-occupied with fashion and boys. Her goal is to create an intelligent show for girls, that boys and grown-ups also can watch. So far, she seems to be doing an admirable job of it.

    I remember The Powerpuff Girls being alright actually. Does this mean all that female orientated stuff in the media that I hate, actually is condecending and i'm not just a huffy git.

    I mean is it just me or does the media like to potray women as these highly commercialist, vane shallow people?

    Maybe it just means that Craig McKracken is freaking awesome.

    Besides, it's got :winslow: in it.

    Oh wow! The guy who did Wilson had chops, he had me laughing everytime he popped up. He's one of Telltale's best original creations, up there with Sal, who was the best thing about Season 3

    Seemed like that's what all the cool kids were doing. Besides, who wouldn't want to be known as the Queen of Halloween?

    I suppose I should work on that, then. I'm probably barely a talc.

    We've just come off the back of summer here in Australia. The weather has been so crap; the heat's been unrelenting.

    Why the heck do I even live in this country? I don't like heat, and I'm not a huge fan of swimming. Oh well.


    I ask myself the same thing every summer... but this year has been rotten...

    That is the second best Trek film ever.

    I'd rate it the first... which is your choice?

    Oh, and... 'Helloooo computer?'

    I think I have posted an ok explained post for once.
    Well that is my quota for today, I don't want to get too stressed. :p

    And I am bored at work, absolutely nothing to do.
    But I have tomorrow to look forward to, to make the day more durable. :D

    Well, Craig McCracken(not even trying in spelling at the moment) even made fun of those kind of shows and fanfics in a Fake Clip Show episode. So, yeah. I think.

    WWE All Stars demo is suppost to be on PSN Europe today so Im waiting for it.
  • edited March 2011
    Yesterday I saw an advert for The Walking Dead on TV, so now that it's being shown over here in the UK, I might get a bit more interested in the franchise. I hope so. I want to know what the hype is about.
  • edited March 2011

    You have to do something a bit more impressive for a triumph, I'm afraid. Like collect a ton of seashells to show how you beat Neptune. Something like that.

    I just found out Earl Boen played a character called Rhino in Batman: The Animated Series. Which episode, or who that is, I don't know yet. According to IMDB, it was a character used in three separate episodes.

    He was in Justice Leauge as well as a one time villian Simon Stagg. Rhino was in

    Oh. Well, I subjugated Carthage for the glory of the Republic. Try to prove I didn't. I had my frumentarii and legionarii sew the ground with salt to ensure that nothing there would dare rise up from that ground to oppose Senatus Populusque Romanus ever again. So says Gaius Pantulumus Comaradae - Poenicus has fallen!

    You need to have a Scipio in there somewhere. Every great Roman general from the Republic who wasn't Julius Caesar had a Scipio somewhere in their name.

    What, did you study Roman military history or something? Or even Roman history? Jeebus. Oh, fine. Let's see...

    Pantulumus Comaradae Scipio Aurelius.

    There. Totally legit.

    Egyptian, Greek, and Roman history in a survey course. But come next semester, with my planned uber Roman Republic history class, I will be an expert. Then the world will tremble.

    Also, much better name. You can't go wrong with Scipio. :D

    I have never been so envious of a person than I am of you, right now. When the world trembles and you re-forge it with your hammer of tyrannical history knowledge, can I be Lanius, Protectores Augusti Nostri? What about a Praefectus Castrorum?

    I was debating adding in an Octaviunus or something, but I think I got it right.

    No, but you may be Lanius, Protectores Alcoremortii Nostri. Augustus doesn't need any more protection. I, on the other hand, must have legions. :D
