My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic (Live Reactions & Discussion)

@Story Awesome sauce. I'm actually grinding Saints Row 4. I just got passed the part where Keith David betrays my crew and I met Roddy Piper.

Thinking about Roddyin that game makes me a bit sad now a days.

@Scott Yeah...but you better put that as a spoiler though.

That's better. It's the last game I have to beat for PS 3.

Though something I found funny is that Keith wants to be president and in a episode of Rick and Morty in season 2 he actually plays the president.

@Scott But soon....Battlefront for Xbox One.

Soon.

Ed: Yeah. It does have its issues, such as trying too hard near the end and a complaint one of my friends watching the stream had was that the game is still too close to the genre it's deconstructing. That said, it gets more of a bum wrap than it deserves, often for things it didn't actually do.

Hehe, yeah. Older JRPGs tend to suffer from offering token logic that doesn't make a ton of sense. Not that all games have gotten better about it and sometimes even look the bigger fool for trying harder, but still. >.>

There are some trick bosses you may find it helpful against later. It is a total waste on 99% of trash mobs, though.

The Hero Ring gives the same increase as the Earring. The difference between them is that the Hero Ring boosts both magical and physical damage, while the Earring only does magical.

Welcome to the shady town where everyone's job is apparently mugging. >.>

Because seeing their opponents healed back to full will totally, devastatingly demoralize them! Or something. I dunno. <.<

Deal damage while stealing. Given Locke's damage output, though...

That's odd. You must've missed the right combo. At least, I'm reasonably certain I successfully brute-forced it the first time I played it when I was younger.

....soooo....Story. Do you have a Let's Play channel where we can watch you play video sauce?

He doesn't, I think.

Just wondering, does anyone know how to deal with those annoying get salty if you win, gloat if you lose players when it comes to fighting games? I need to know as it is one of the hurdles I am facing about trying to enjoy Smash 4 again.

I know growing a thicker skin is one of those solutions, but I never really was able to grow one of those without it getting worn down as quickly as it grown.

Still, if I can get past that point, I am a bit closer to enjoying the game again.

Speaking of Video Games, I've been replaying Grand Theft Auto 4 for the first time in years. And I have to say, while GTA 5 is still a great game, I think I like the characters and story of GTA 4 way more, especially since protagonist Niko is a really interesting character and the Big Bad is a far better villain and more of a genuine threat then GTA 5's mostly lackluster Big Bad Ensemble. Not to mention it's way more fun to go on rampages in this game then in 5 since the GTA 4 cops aren't ridiculously tough and persistent.

Oh right, this is a pony thread. Um....... How about them candy colored horses?

I would just mute them, if that's an option.

if it's real life just stab em

or grow thicker skin. That's the most you can do.

I have a friend like that. You may know him as the melee player I beat.

I like video games.

You don't have to be thick-skinned, but it's best to at least fake it. Just don't rise to them. If you can find a way around it, don't interact with them. Nothing bothers a person like that more than someone who refuses to respond, since at the end of the day what they're after in both cases is validation.

Do what I do whenever I had a crush on a few girls when I was in elementary school. Don't act on it. Go to an empty field and yell.

In completely unrelated news, I want them.◊

I want them so much.

I've pretty much stopped interacting with one of the worst repeat offenders by now unless I have to. No matter what game, he gloats if he wins and gets salty if he loses. Even more annoying is that he will cheat or resort to questionable tactics to ensure he wins (he hacks his pokemon, he has been caught stacking his decks and even exploited a section of a level to grind goombas on a Super Mario Maker High Score challenge)

Not sure on those. While they are a lot less creepy than the other Equestria Girls merch, I would still feel a bit uncomfortable with buying them. Chibi ponies on the other hand...

To be fair, I would do that last one too. That seems rather clever actually.

But the rest of the stuff isn't cool. At all. I hate it when one of my friends does it, and as such have stopped playing most video games and card games with him. hell one time my friend got so pissed and actually turned off the system because I got a really really good item that would basically won me the game. the game is called Dokapon Kingdom, if you've heard of it.

''And I want the chibi ponies too why do things cost money.' I'm definitely want a Twilight figure, as well as Pinkie. I'm really hoping for a Rainbow Dash one to be made too.

Wow, they have a surprisingly good coverage of ponies in that chibi line. I expected just the Mane Six.

Hmm... they're not overly expensive, either...

I really want scans of the images on the boxes they're in though. The pictures are adorable.

Also, they're tiny. And expensive for all of them. And I want all of them.

"Ooh, look a chibi Discord! I wonder—"

[$120 Set exclusive]

"nope."

He died in game shortly after trying that last one. We didn't see him again for the rest of the night.

I'm just wanting DJ, Derpy, Flutterbat and Chrissy out of the chibis at the moment. If they do make a Rainbow Dash one, I want that one too.

There will be a way to get that one by itself. Ebay is magic after all

edited 8th Oct '15 1:08:16 PM by Mudkipz

Yeah, but you'll be lucky if it's less than 120 itself... for a few months at least.

Even if it did pop up on E Bay, it's probably going to be way above the retail price of all the other ponies.

Though, frankly, I don't love it enough to drop 15 bucks on it either.

I do love the EQG chibis, though. Needs more bacon hair.

The chibi ponies are adorable, but not adorable enough that I can justify spending that much on them.
