I don't know WHAT the Hell happened (I blame shenanigans) but we're going to start from scratch. Post your feels for this awesome show again! Naow!

I haven't seen Conan the Barbarian, but being less like Clash Of The Titans can only be a good thing.

Hey, Clash of the Titans isn't a bad movie. It's a bit goofy at times, but it's good fun.

Wait, you were talking about the remake, weren't you? Yeah, that movie sucks.

No I'm talking about the old one. All I remember about the movie is thereally terrible special effects.

Deathwolfwho

Was this supposed to be Deathcloud or Badwolfwho? I thought Badwolfwho was fine with spelling.

There was also that one Mexican poster with Luna as avatar.

You mean Fallen Legend.

do we know if ponies have bicycles?

Not from what I can tell, but it did lead me to this.

Ray Harryhausen did a lot of the effects for the original Clash of the Titans. You insult those, you make some powerful enemies, son.

I'm of the opinion that Harryhausen's effects were the one good thing about Clash.

That guy was a genius. His stuff still looks amazing today, simply from the massive amounts of Doing It for the Art he did.

Question: I know Scootaloo uses her wings as a way to keep her momentum, but how does she get it to go? Like, kicking a back hoof or something? Or is it like earth ponies and handling things where impossible cartoon physics handwaves the impossibility.

Yeah sorry, I misremembered. I think it was Deathcloud.

I think she mainly uses her wings like a jet engine. She doesn't just maintain momentum, she accelerates.

@story I haven't read anything outside of the original series, apart from Horseradish. None of the libraries or bookstores I go to seem to have them :U

i think i mostly want to see what happens when this whole place breaks apart

Not even the Unauthorized Autobiography? But that's the best one.

I haven't heard of Horseradish. I did get The Beatrice Letters, but that was a bit of a disapointment, being only like 20 pages long and all.

All the Wrong Questions looks interesting. It's a four book prequel that seems to actually want to address some mysteries this time, with Snicket's childhood. As an example his hometown's more than a little Lovecraft like, and the Great Unknown appears as a statue. He describes it not as a continuation, but a different perspective on some of the conspiracies and weirdness.

She uses her wings more for propulsion than anything.

New debate topic. If you placed Scootaloo on a scooter on a treadmill with the treadmill going backwards at the same speed, could she take off?

Depends. If her wings are not only momentum stabilizers but also strong propulsion, it would just depend which is going faster.

She must have extremely good balance with those wings.

Yes, because the wheels turn freely (assuming negligible axle friction) regardless of the speed of the treadmill relative to the speed of the Scootaloo. And we all know the propulsive power of Scootaloo wings.

I know the answer. The joke is that it's a common topic of internet flamewars/nerd sniping.

Sorry, I got sidetracked talking with my brother, but here are those sketches. I'll link them again later, when more people are awake.

It's a sales position with the company my fitness instructor started for selling his online seminars on workplace safety training. SO yeah, not super exciting in itself, and certainly a bit outside my comfort zone, but I need a job and at least I know I'll like my boss. :P

Thanks, guys. :3

It'll be good to have some actual income again, although I may have to step back my comic schedule at least for a while while I get into the swing of it.
