Summer's coming! Catch up time.

Journal Entry: Mon May 13, 2013, 8:37 PM
Okay, now that summer's almost here and that I'm going to have way too much free time to make the most of with graduation and whatnot, it's time I finally too this summer season to catch up with a great deal of things I've been wanting to do or promised to do for my growing number of watchers. =)

That being said, for everyone who's wanted me to do a project for them that I have not yet been able to tackle due to the pressures of my college courses and stuff throughout the past year or so, I want anyone whom I've promised to do a project for, read a fanfiction for, or whatever else I've been promising to do for them to note me on whatever tasks or works I would do for them or whatever works I would read for them so I can plan on returning to them and finally finishing them for you guys in the coming months. ;) I want to gather everything together so I know what I owe you guys. Months of delays may have caused me to lose track of things so if there's anything at all you can think of, note me.

This is NOT a request board, I'm merely asking for reminders on whatever I'm promised to do for people that I haven't been able to get to because of my old schedule. Though I am open to recommendations for other projects or whatnot if anyone has any. =)

If you're folks I promised to do stuff for, I prefer that you note me on what I promised to do, just for privacy's sake for all folks. I'll gather all these thoughts and promises together and then see how it all pans out.

So yeah, if you have a reminder to shoot in my direction on absolutely anything I promised to do for you guys, have at it. :thumbsup:

Got tagged by my friend :iconcoonfoot: , so let's see what's in store for me this time........ =)

1) What's a show that I love that everyone else hates?

Sonic X. Seriously folks, don't you remember the glory days of everybody's favorite hedgehog? Give the show at least some credit, it was fun stuff! =D

I mean it isn't like it was the 2006 game........ :fear:

2) What's a show that I love that no one else remembers?

Mobile Suit Gundam Wing.

You'll probably remember this show if you're a lifelong fan of Toonami, it's what made Gundam famous in America. If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend it, especially if you're a fan of mecha anime and interstellar warfare.

3) What's a movie I love that everybody else hates?

Hook: I know not everybody hates this movie, but for such a successful film, it's never gotten enough love. Come on folks, it's Robin Williams as Peter Pan and Dustin Hoffman as Captain Hook! You can't possibly go wrong with that, and if you haven't seen it, check it out and you'll see what I mean. ;)

By the way, did you folks know that Dante Basco, aka Prince Zuko co-starred in this movie? :O_o:


(NOTE: For those who might've expected to see Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace, it's NOT a bad movie! It's flawed, yes........but it absolutely is not a bad movie. Just wanted to clear the air on that one.)


4) What's a movie I love that no one else remembers?

Dick Tracy: Another one that doesn't get enough love. It's Dick Tracy as the badass cop in the banana-colored trenchcoat, Al Pacino as a big time mob boss, and Madonna. Totally a must-see if you're a comic book lover. :nod:

A pox on the Tribune Company for the ongoing film rights quarrel that killed all hopes for a sequel!


(NOTE: Special mention to Treasure Planet and Atlantis: The Lost Empire, two Disney films that got massively underrated upon release)

5) What's a video game that I love that everyone else hates?

Driver 2. Lots of people didn't care for that one, but hey, if I get a game where I get to joyride and smash every car in sight against the backdrop of a simple but tense police thriller story, then as far as I'm concerned I'm golden. :XD:

Driv3r and Driver: San Francisco on the other hand............ :no:

6) What's a video game I love that no one else remembers?

Star Wars X-Wing: One of the absolute best space combat simulators EVER! :salute: Its sequel TIE Fighter is all the better. ;)

Wing Commander III: Again, one of the best space simulators of all time. =) And it also has Luke Skywalker as the hero. Need I say more?

Descent: Chasing robots through dimly-lit mining shafts that could go boom at any time in your starfighter makes for a spooky game. Oh yeah, when's the sequel coming?

7) Who's the biggest animated crush I've ever had?

Oh well, now this one I'm sure is obvious....... :giggle:

Katara, from Avatar: The Last Airbender. Everything you could want from a strong leading lady in any series. :love:

Special mention goes to Asami Sato from The Legend of Korra, who might be a close second.........

8) Favorite canon pairing?

Kataang, of course. =)

9) Favorite crack pairing?

Does Korrasami count?

10) Favorite meme?

No, it's NOT Harlem Shake or Rick'Rolled! Frankly, those memes need to be about 20% cooler. ;)

Good thing I don't really like The Legend of Korra, because waiting for it to turn up is taking up too much of my and the fanbase's energy.

A good example for me is the admins pf the TD Wiki who fall under the "We hate Zoey, but love Lightning" hypocrisy that a lot of the fandom is guilty of.

"Suited for Success" - 3.5/5

After making no real contribution to the past two episodes, it was nice for Rarity to have an episode to herself.

"Art of the Dress" is by far the best song I've heard in the show so far.

Plus, Trevor Devall is the voice of Hoity Toity who I've seen before thanks to Big Idea but have seen in both "3-2-1 Penguins!" and VeggieTales (ironically, the VeggieTales show he was in also featured Lee Tockar).

But, even though I love Fluttershy I didn't really like how she was critical of Rarity's dress she made for her and when everyone was reacting to the 2nd dresses Rarity made I kept saying "Has anyone in Ponyville never heard of avant garde?"

Overall, pretty good episode and I can see how this was the one that made you fall in love with Rarity.

Finally, just because I have nowhere else to put this... 20% cooler!

:iconakira500:
Yeah, great to have Rarity back as the main focus of the episode =D

Yeah, that's a great song, and the music is a very big part of what makes the series so great. You can tell a lot of heart and craft was put into them.

Another veteran of those shows, nice! Yeah, I figured this was the actor whom you may have been referring to.

Well, that was kind of the point of the episode, the ponies set their expectations so high that they never learned to appreciate the dresses as they originally were, until it was finally pointed out to them that sometimes the best gifts aren't the overly extravagant and over the top ones. Fortunately, they did realize this and how silly the second dresses looked when they finally put them on.

Yeah, this is one of my longtime favorites and this episode for me was a great introduction to Rarity and the series. =)

Ha ha, isn't it? =D Everything gets 20% cooler in this series.

The one episode of "3-2-1 Penguins!" I've seen that had Trevor in it he played a character who had a voice that more or less he used in this episode. On VeggieTales, he played one of one of the three brothers of Larry's character in "Pistachio: The Little Boy that Woodn't" in March of 2010 (the other two were played by Lee one of whom had a voice reminiscent of Bling-Bling Boy/Snips) which was a role he reprised earlier this year on "The Little House that Stood" in March because of the Northeastern accent he gave the character.

I take it that like Derpy "20% cooler" clicked within the Brony fandom as well?

Good to find another familiar voice in the mix.


It's probably one of, if not the most famous meme in the fandom.

Just wondering, who is your fav Harry Potter character (I assume you've read the books). My fav is either Dobby or Neville.

Also, do you know of any good artists who accept point commissions and don't mind drawing saucy stuff (like bikini girls). I admittedly don't know many.

Also, I finished 6th form! Just have to go back to do a few tests, but for me full time education is done! ... For now at least since I'd like to go to university.
Reply
:iconakira500:
I don't know, but I probably like Harry himself the best. His character just kicks so much ass and he has some of the best character development ever.

That depends, what kind of art you hoping to commission for that sort of thing? I know some good ones that might be able to satisfy you on that count.

Awesome! =) Good to hear, man, so you're finally catching a break?

:iconcragmiteblaster:
Harry is an AWESOME protagonist; he's just so ... relatable and cool. Hopefully the protagonist of my series will be likable too.

Well, I was sorta hoping for some saucy bikini pics of some of my OC's. Is that perverted, if so then sorry. Yeah, bikini pics basically (not TOO adult in my opinion).

Yeah, school's out and I can relax ... well, I still have to revise for my finals, but other than that I'm basically done. It's a little sad it's ending though, I'm planning on going to a different uni than all my friends (it offers me the best courses for my career).
Reply
:iconakira500:
Yeah, that sounds great =)

Nah, I don't think so. I'm not sure how many of the artists I know do OCs though, so I'd have to doublecheck.

Another university?

"Fall Weather Friends" - 3/5

As I had mentioned last night, prior to this episode I hadn't really seen that much of Rainbow Dash, but this was a nice first real episode to feature her. I also got a kick out of Pinkie Pie being the announcer, "Urgh... Those lazy, lazy leaves.".

Unfortunately, I had a problem with Rainbow Dash being a cheater due to having wings and thought that her failure in the race was justified (though Apple Jack was no better since she cheated a little too).

Overall, pretty good even though I disagreed with Rainbow Dash's choices and I'm looking forward to "Sonic Rainboom" which I'll be seeing in a few days.

As for tomorrow's episode, it will be the first real Rarity episode for me as well as the first time that yet another voice actor I've experienced thanks to Big Idea will pop up in the series.
Reply
:iconakira500:
Yeah, this is a good one for all of them. Pinkie's antics as the announcer are hilarious in this episode, I loved that.

Dash does have a bit of an ego and it sometimes gets to her head, but fortunately she realizes her bad sportsmanship in the end, as does AJ who occasionally takes too much pride in herself too. These two can be very tough competitors since they're almost evenly matched in terms of physical stamina.

Sonic Rainboom is definitely one of the best, I can say you will not be disappointed.

Suited For Success?
