Fan music? I love fan music! Half my playlist is pony fan music.

If you've got a place where people are showing off gravity falls fan music, I'd love to hear about it :D

I've been wanting an Equestria Daily esque place ever since watching Gravity Falls, so :X

I shall keep an eye on that.

Has anyone else seen Wreck-It Ralph? It reminded me of an extended version of Fight Fighters. Just as well-written, just as good of a mix of original humor and references, but several times as long.

I am scared to watch it because the people who wrote it both know and do not know what videogames are.

Given that one of my biggest hobbies is videogames you can understand my frieght.

especially in light that the vast majority of "movies about videogames" are either terrible or SO anti-videogame that they just don't know what a videogame is.

Ohh my... I have only watched like two minutes of MLP... and WOW is it offensively girly.

and oddly enough 2 minutes 20 seconds... and the girly factor drops like a rock. It seems more like those elements were leftover.

Ohh come on! I know I was worried about there being too many quirky characters... but so far there are none!

6 minutes in and already unfortunate concequences of somewhat slavey situations and someone who should know better not knowing better.

First continuity error 9 minutes in.

I don't know if you watch Gravity Falls, but even if you don't I recommend Fight Fighters. It treats video games really well, and I think Wreck-It Ralph gives them at least as good of a treatment. There are a lot of references that maybe aren't super obscure, but your average CoD/Sims player wouldn't get them.

Despite people's fears from the "When did video games become so violent?" line in the trailer, that's just a throwaway joke. There's no anti-gaming whatsoever. It treats video games the same way Toy Story treats toys. Which is a small strike against its originality, but a tiny gripe overall.

I've seen all of Gravity falls. I like it but not obsessively so.

Also I find it interesting that MLP:FIM world would be a absolute nightmare for me to live in.

I've noticed that about some settings.

Mind you I am speaking about the "In your face" Social Butterfly nature of the world. As someone who actually prefers to be alone most of the time and actually finds too much extended personal time to be stressful... a world where people go out of their way to spend time with you sounds nightmarish. Add that it seems to imply that being intrapersonal is a bad thing and well...

It reminds me a bit of Fairytale in that regard. I love that anime but even I admit that I would be absolutely miserable there.

"that's just a throwaway joke"

I am glad.

Ohh goodness I am so on Purple Pony's side that I am dreading the point of the cartoon where she will have to conform and transform into a social zombie so badly... because at this point I feel her pain soo bad.

I know what side the cartoon is going to go with. It sure as heck isn't going to be the person who just wants to be left alone who is otherwise very polite and has an important goal and is otherwise driven. No it is going to be with the very rude in your face ponies who constantly impose upon her and the lesson will be about "appreciating your friends" or something.

Please MLP prove me wrong... prove to me that you actually have the dimension to know when people are, through good intentions, actually being quite terrible.

The show actually touches on some of the "in your face friendliness" you're complaining about (much later though, in season 2). That episode ends with the moral of "some people want to be left alone, so don't pressure them."

also is Princess Celestia an actual princess or is this one of those "Queen Princess" situations?

This is going to be a very painful show to watch

But I cant say I don't smile everytime I groan. There is a lot of charm in just how terrible it can be sometimes.

I know I probably shouldn't be saying that given that people here like it for all the intentional reasons... but this show is like looking into a nightmare realm for me.

"Hey House Warming Party the day you just flew in! ROCKEN VERSION!"

ARE YOU NUTS!?! You are a terrible person Pinkie Pie!

"Welcome to Equestria!"

So... the land is litterally called Horse land huh?

"Welcome to Pony Ville"

I see. So offensively girly this is.

Thanks.

Oddly enough the show has already devolved into "You should know better" territory of the extreme type.

Look this was exactly what I didn't want to happen. Kaijyuu, why did the show devolve into extreme "You should know better" territory in two episodes? You said this was beyond it!
