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.

It has the most stupidly catchy theme:
But even better it has the most 90's website ever.
Of how Michael Jordan became the greatest Basketball player of all time by sacrificing his skills at anything else, including Baseball and Acting.
Reaction Image RepositoryThe ending of the movie, in which Michael Jordan lands on a baseball field and is announced to the crowd by Wayne Knight, seems to operate under the tragically mistaken assumption that people WANTED to watch him play baseball.
Visit my Tumblr! I may say things. The Bureau ProjectAre you implying something?
Anyway, I just showed my Mom Adventure Time (specifically, My Favorite Two People plus the Cuteness Conquerers and gladiator one.) She said "it's too simple".
Anyway, I'm confused. The later two episdoes were listed as season 3, but I thought season 3 started with Bubblegum getting reaged? Wheres L Emongrab and co?")
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayIt's actually completely different. RPS is a fundamental element of games with imperfect information. More specifically, RPS is the classic archetpyal example of a mixed strategy, which is the game theoretic optimal in most cases where you don't know everything about the game that you need to. In the case of Rock Paper Scissors this is because you have to make moves simulatenously. It can also be due to secret hands or similar hidden information.
By contrast chess is a game of perfect information. At every point in the game, you know everything there is to know about the state of the game. So there is always a theoretical optimal strategy, and even knowing what your opponent will do in advance won't help you, theoretically. The reason it's interesting in practice is of course because people can't look far ahead enough to find the optimal strategy reliably. Grandmasters just spend lots of times memorizing patterns and praciting so they can look far ahead mentally and use patterns to recognize which moves to best consider.
The key thing to realize is that games of perfect information like Chess is exactly where Confusion Fu doesn't work. In an RTS you can do something unexpected and catch your opponent by surprise because they don't know what you're doing and hence have to guess. In chess, you know everything. Now the cases of Confusion Fu being discussed in the context of chess are more like one grandmaster deliberately making moves that will break the patterns that the other one has memorized. This doesn't reliy on surprise, instead it just reduces the chances of them being abel to mentalyl come up with the ideal move since they haven't practiced this situation as much. But it's a compeltely different thing and there's nothing about chess that would let a novice beat a grandamster by doing this.
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayI'm not particularly good at chess, but I was the only one to legitimately complete the blitz chess challenge at the CSAW finals last fall.
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlaySpace Jam is actually one of those movies I grew up with as a kid. It's a pretty weird film.
Also, if any of you know how creepy butterflies look up close, you might feel bad for poor Twilight here.![]()

I know I saw Space Jam a couple times as a kid, but I only vaguely remember it now. Also, if anyone isn't following the Twitch Pokemon Live Updates stream on Reddit, it's getting pretty snarky. Some of my favorite quotes
@Thunders: Being able to limit your opponent's control of the board will increasing yours. Having board control, in a sense, gives you more options for your pieces to move about and less chances for your king to be in an unfavorable position.
We are all made of star stuff. Very, very weird star stuff.Just swap in your own image sprites. Shouldn't be too hard.
Anyway, I like blitz chess better because I'm really impatient and I don't think much about my moves anyway.

@Orion: Space Jam is actually a documentary.
