I'm pretty sure we'd get the same freedom in OT though. I guess less people care about us in here. :p

For fun, I graduated already, but I did get a minor out of my Japanese learning.

BTW: Cool that you beat Ys Origin in Japanese without speaking it, I get frustrated when I play things I can't read. :lol

I see. Why do you want to take the tests? Do they open some opportunities?
I mostly couldn't follow the plot, and though I had to reference a guide now and then, I could tell what most items and menu items said. Really fun game, too.

Yeah, I guess they do, especially the JLPT, it should help me get real japanese jobs in Japan if I wanted. The kanken (Kanji Exam) is purely for native Japanese speakers - so I guess I am taking that one to prove my worth as a speaker/reader. I kind of when deciding to start learning the language set goals for myself so that I knew when I "made it" obviously that doesn't always reflect reality, I mean there are thousands of words for different species of fish I will probably never get around the learning, so I imagine my proficiency on a certain level will always be inadequate, but it's nice to have a few goals worth reaching for.

Is there a more fun way to learn phrases and stuff instead of just ploughing through textbooks for seventh graders? It's really downing me out because I'm in Uni. :<

Do you have an SRS program? Textbooks are definitely the way to go, but if you want a really hard text book I can recommend JSL, which is the most vile Japanese textbook ever made - it's the one I learned from. What book do you have now? Genki?

I should qualify that I'm 'teaching myself' which in practice means I'm just using my old textbooks from when I was motivated, years and years ago. I probably won't actually seriously get into it until I finish this degree.

jeez making this music video is too fun D: Coming with zero movie editing skills and Sony Vegas is real intuitive to use! About 2mins and 15 seconds out of 3mins 21 seconds of the main video is done before I start on some of the background stuff that shouldn't take long.

[Its 3am and I really should be working on my research paper]

Thats a bit of a stretch. I dunno. Are there actually Gaffers who didn't like Tales of Symphonia 1?

Yeah, can't be, due to the different fur colors.

And I thought it wasn't special. But hey, any RPG would become special in the RPG-drought console Gamecube. I don't like it, but I don't hate it... but its noisy fans make me hate it.

Started doing the Gaffer Ponies. Did meltingparappa's, but it still needs a few tweaks and coloring before becoming presentable. :)

Also did a sketch for Captain Fish's that came out pretty well, so I'll show it now. Yep, he's got a captain hat on his pony head. And his cutie mark is fish.

This is great and I can't wait to see the finished thing. If you are still open for requests I'd like to throw my hat in the ring, simply because I have a terrible user name and would love to see what you do with it.

On-topic: I was getting excited at the prospect of another pony day. But then I remembered it was Thursday. And then I remembered there are no more pony days for a while. :(

It's not the same as a new episode but if it helps pass the time, this Saturday will be a classic pony day on the synchtube. We'll be going back to where it all started with the first two episodes.

I was thinking of starting this time around 11:15pm BST (Click here for that in other time zones) because that's the time the Eurovision song contest finishes and that's pretty much the best thing ever, but if anyone would prefer it to be earlier or later just say so and we'll see what we can do.

Also if anyone has any pony related youtube videos that they think would make for good intermissions at the start of the stream and between the episodes, pm links to them to me. Newer videos and ones that we didn't watch last week are more preferable.

Tales of are the Maddens of jRPGs. Pokémons are a close contender, but they don't come out as regularly.

Yeah I agree with Tera, while the first two eps were okay, Ticket Master imo really shows the rest of the show's capabilities.

Woke up to So Many Wonders via random song alarm (oh boy). Some how when I was trying to get wake up, I came up with a title for the second season. MLPFIM |OT| straight out of the Everfree community.

There is no escape from this is there? I'm going to suffer without ponies till season two.

I plan on doing something constructive, for that is something I like to do anyway. I just get caught in work and other important stuff to not go completely insane.

He suggests shrinking budgets as an industry-wide phenomenon, but it's not a sign that season 2 will have less of a budget than season 1. The whole season has a budget, and when someone makes a mistake and has to redo it, or someone decides to add a song to an episode, or whatever, it consumes money and shrinks the budget available to finish the series, and even if it all goes perfectly according to plan, the budget is still "shrinking" as you go along, leaving less wiggle-room to get out of future mistakes.

That is quite interesting. I'd like to know how does this fit, in the point of view of the production team, with them ovbviously going all out for the last episode of the season. Did they want to use all of the remaining budget, trying to show that it was tight and there aren't a lot of corners they can cut from?

Eurovision Song Contest followed by My Little Pony reruns? That's an interesting way to spend a Saturday evening. It's almost funny enough to try.

Oh, Eurovision is a troll contest. It's hilariously bad and somehow, that's why people watch. Plus the country fights are awesome to behold :p

If you think in budget directly translating to the amount of time that can be spent on an episode, it's a credit to the team that it certainly doesn't LOOK rushed. It's hard to say what we ended up seeing versus what they may have planned though.

Perhaps Pinkie would sing some other than public domain songs, maybe her "chorus line" part in 'At the Gala' wouldn't re-use the animation from "Over a Barrel" and maybe the post effects during the Dash/Wonderbolts solo was going going to be more "Sonic Rainboom" and less "just kinda there". If you compare the character animation in that episode to "Art of the Dress" or even the pilot, you can also see a little bit of a difference.

You can play this guessing game with any episode of any show though, but if season two looks as good as that episode, it'll still be gorgeous and convey the writing perfectly.

I thought that was just Europe trolling the rest of the world.

Well... I'm not saying it's NOT Europe trolling the rest of the world. It some times is. Some times, it's Europe trolling Europe, though, which is a much more fun show to watch. Even though it's five years ago, you still have to give Finland credit for sending Lordi. Now that is masterful trolling, the hat is a nice touch. Of course they won, how could they not?

My only regret this year is that Portugal trolled a little too hard in the semi-finals and did not qualify for the finals, where the "Men of Struggle" would once again get the chance to expose hundreds of millions of people bad 70's portuguese revolution-age communist protest "music".

Not that we would win or anything!

Hmm the lack of MLP makes me grateful that at least there are other toons to sway my starvation. Regular Show should keep me up and Looney Tunes show too.

lol, Equestria Daily found my video -> Instant +1000 Visits :D

Now, which songs did I forget so far?

Lets check - if anyone has (or is able to create) the following Songs as A cappella versions

- My Little Pony FIM Theme Song (possibly with the Chorus part at the beginning?)
- Pinkie's Grand Galloping Gala song
- Twilight is my bestest friend
- Evil Enchantress
- Hop, Skip & Jump :D
- Hush now, Quiet now
- CMC Theme Song of absolute awesomeness
- Pony Pokey

I'll be happy to try to mix them, too :)
