A thread to discuss My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic and the tie-in media.
All of the usual forum rules
apply. In addition, please remember that the thread is discussing a kids' show, and it's primarily focused on the work itself, not the fanfic — in particular, we don't want to see lewdness creeping in.

My GBC still works, but all the cartridge batteries are dead so my savefiles are gone.
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayDark: Yeah, I do have to admit it did have some good points. I mean, we did get LUNAR out of the Sega CD too, although it was a bit of a slog to play. That wasn't quite the fault of the game, though, given that the pitiful (even for its time) 1x CD-ROM caused 3 minute load times between screens in all of the games I had.
EDIT:
I've still got an original Gameboy and it's still ticking despite the abuse it's taken over the years showing up as hairline cracks in the screen. Oddly enough, I don't think I had any carts for it with save files.

Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayStory: Wait, yeah, I did. Hmmm, makes me wonder if the battery is still alive there, then. I know a few years back my friend's FF Legends games were still okay. And unlike my non-portable old games, Pokemon has the benefit of not spending a lot of time in the cold. Maybe I'll have to pop it into my DS sometime.

Reaction Image RepositoryDo you have it hidden away at home or something? You should check. I bet the battery's probably dead though.
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayOr at least a guy in a commercial. One guy among a few other people. Or maybe one guy among many other people.
So less of a star and more of... an asteroid, I guess?
So, you're space debris in space?
What's the commercial?
I put my friend in a coconut! He lives in my hat! Hey, come hang out!Pokemon Red and Blue games last longer than Gold and Silver games. See Gold and Silver had a built in clock function and that constantly drains the cartridges built-in battery. So I have a copy of Pokemon Red that still has all the data from years ago, but my copy of Gold can only be played fro a bout 15 minutes before it dies and all the data gets deleted.
And here's a shocker - I never played Pokemon until late gen 4. Not from the lack of trying on my part though, I loved the anime and watched it from episode 1 exactly back when it aired - but no Gameboys were ever shipped in Russia, so I found out it was based on games only when I got internet and emulators avalable to me.
Weird. My Blue, Yellow, and Silver are all completely gone.
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayStory: I have a copy of Red tucked away with the original Gameboy on my video game shelf.
FE: New Mystery Only Feet 7PM PT Sun, Mon, Fri; Umamusume Haru Arima 7PM PT Wed, Thurs: http://www.twitch.tv/kuroitsubasatenshiMy Pokemon Red actually died after just a few years. I was so upset, my dad actually opened the cart up and put in a new battery. He couldn't put the same screw back in, so he substituted another one that didn't fit quite flush. My GBC and GBA both have little grooves in their cart slots as a result.
I still have my blue cartridge around somewhere, but I have no clue if it works or not.
Reaction Image RepositoryI've been reading too many posts by flat-out crazy people on a (non-TV Tropes) political forum. One thinks Sandy Hook is a hoax, and fills his posts with gleeful, mocking smilies. One thinks everyone who disagrees with him (pretty much everyone) is an "agent troll". One thinks the planes that crashed into the Twin Towers on 9/11 were CGI fakery. One thinks the limo driver killed JFK. One thinks he's being persecuted by "The Feds", and that they control everything, right down to the weather. Everything that happens, happens because they want to "eliminate" him.
GAAAAAH!!!
Yes, I return here, of all places, for sanity.

I should dig out my old consoles sometime. They were still working when they went into storage, anyway. In the very least, I'd think any of the cartridges with save slots will probably have had the battery killed by being stored in the cold for so many winters, though.
Where everyone else here talks about nostalgia around TV shows, the consoles are pretty much where my equivalent nostalgia is. I had a NES, SNES, Genesis (with that awful Sega CD attachment) and Turbo Graffix.
