It's a waste when the short story it's based on was only 30 pages.

Also, new Rainbow Rocks short.

Rarity on the synth is great.

For a show like ATLA that's plot heavy, I think you can skip the fillery episodes without missing too much.

You'd be surprised. There's a fair amount of stuff in Avatar that seems to serve no purpose when it's introduced, only to be very important much later.

@ JT: I haven't heard much about it myself. What I have heard is that they used the same script, but had each episode animated by a different team who didn't see the others. So for me, it would be one gigantic game of Spot The Difference. I just like the idea of seeing a story presented in different ways. Hell, that's very closely related to one of the reasons why I loved Higurashi so much. I spent every minute of every episode trying to figure out which arcs were re-tellings of previous ones, and which were completely new.

I think it's a cool idea, but I don't think the execution was all that great.

Okay that was funny.

Though part of me feels like I should be more offend by unique, special, magical, and otherwise fantasy based things getting demoted to basic, ordinary, mundane drek. But.. it's was humors enough for me not to care to much.

Also, MA Larson confirmed for Season 5 writer!

So you know what's a good game for making you feel stupid? Portal, and Portal 2. I was finally able to play them, and whoo-boy. I can't even count the number of times I struggled to figure out what I was supposed to do and where I was supposed to go, when the answer was staring me in the face. It was fun, though. I only wish there was some way I could have gone into them unspoiled though, because I would have enjoyed the story so much more if I didn't already know everything about it.

Edit: And I really hate that Portal 2 keeps changing my screen resolution.

Does anybody know what the average times for completing the games are? I want to know just how badly I sucked.

Portal is pretty short, generally only a few hours long. Portal 2 is a bit longer, sitting at around twice to three times that length.

I can't really say how long it took me, since I wasted so much time just messing around. I know what you mean, though. There were a couple times where I wasted tons of time trying to figure something out, and then having an "Oh, I'm an idiot" moment when I figured it out.

I finished the first one in four hours, and the second in seven. I'm guessing that's about average. Well, hoping, really.

Is that really what those things are called? I thought a keytar was a completely different instrument.

Just came out of my first of five final exams. So glad there will be ponies tomorrow... followed by two online exams.

I see we're talking about Portal. I can't replay the game on my current computer thanks to horrible lag. Strangely enough, the lag only happens when I look at orange portals.

We are all made of star stuff. Very, very weird star stuff.

@CD. Really quick google search says Portal 1 average is four hours. Portal 2 is ten-ish.

@Irish: Nope, that's definitely a keytar. There are definitely some other similar instruments, though.

Also why I end up not getting into a lot of major things, because now they spread the story out into so many different things, it's hard to keep track and actually get the FULL story. Got me out of kingdom Hearts, a bunch of other things.. yeah unless I can get every single bit of the story... I just can't bother getting attached to it.

I think you have a problem. If you weren't so hung up on 'getting every part of the story', there would be a lot more cool and fun things you could read/watch/play.

I think Rarity is the last person I would see playing the keytar, but... damn does she rock it.[lol]

@star (from a two pages back): I'm going to Disney with my aunt and uncle. My parents helped to pay, but I'm paying them back bit by bit.

CRDW: I took about a weekend for each. For the first game, it's not necessarily an accurate measurement, though, since I spent a lot of time trying to steal all of GLADOS' cameras and then doing stupid things with them once I did. tongue

I curse the fact that playing the Portal games (and most FPS games) make me motion sick. I could only enjoy them from afar.

I would not have expected Rarity to warm up to the instrument so quickly, considering how different it sounds. But since this is a short, I guess I can forgive that one little detail.

I can't play Portal and Portal 2 anymore since I already watched Hank Green do it, so I pretty much know all the solutions by now.

Oddly, I never got stuck on Portal/Portal2. They're pretty hand-holdey games as far as puzzles go.

I did get stuck quite a few times on Braid. Design wise, it reminds me a lot of my approach to designing puzzles in Pickory.

I see we're talking about Portal. I can't replay the game on my current computer thanks to horrible lag.

I had that same problem. I played through Portal pretty easily when I first got it, but after switching to a new computer, there's one jump in chamber 17 that I just can't make no matter how hard I try. It's ridiculous.

Also, you shouldn't be concerned by how long it takes you to beat a game. I usually take much longer than many people to beat a game, but that's not a problem. It's all about what experience you have.
