Have any of you fine folks ever drove 350 miles to attend an event you're not positive you're invited to, unaware of what said event involves and may or may not have a hotel room that you were told you'd have?

So, here's something I never thought I'd be doing: I might end up doing some lines for a L4D2 mod that replaces Coach's voice clips with ones from the Duke Nukem games. I offered to do an impression of Duke to fill in some gaps and the guy's interested! :party:

Wish me Luck! :yay:

Yeah, S4 has been really at least as good as earlier seasons and so far I haven't seen any decline of the quality.

And Rarity is still the best pony. :wink:

Someone also mentioned a while back that S4 seems to have had more praise heaped on it than prior seasons as they've aired.

I think a lot of this stems from S3 and EqG putting the show on uncertain terms, and early S4 episodes like Scooby Do, Daring Do, and Power Doers made a fair number of people question where the show was heading. As it's gone past its strained S3 schedule, and fun early S4 diversions, back into the core :ponydrugs: , that brings a lot of vocal praise that didn't exist before that contrast.

I'd like to think I currently win the award for most Bird.

As far as Season 4 goes, I suppose it's been good. Really, there's not that much quality difference between different seasons for me.

Who will win? Who will lose? Who will be forced to have a humiliating avatar for 30 days after the fight?

Also I still like watching the colorful horsies do silly horsie things, that is all :granny:

Frosthawk is Ice/Flying while Crow is Dark/Flying. Ice is super effective against Flying, so Frosthawk should win in terms of type matchup... unless Frosthawk is actually Delibird. :allright:

Crow would win because he gets to decide who lives and who dies. Joel gave it to him for Christmas.

If it keeps up like this, Season 4 will be the best season of this, the My Little Ponies anime and anybody who thinks otherwise is a cold, unfeeling robot and also probably really uncomfortably antisemitic.

Season 4 > Season 2 > Season 1 > Season 3 imo. :twiright:

It's close between S1 and S2 for me, since I think the second half of S1 is incredible, but it took a while in S1 for the show to find its legs, and S2 episodes are more consistently good.

I think one of the reasons that Season 3 suffers in comparison to the other seasons was its short length, that made things seem a little crunched up and rushed.

S3's episodes themselves were what got rushed, particularly KCaFO and GPP (in production order, the last two before MMC). Various tweets and tidbits have pointed to there being a production crisis at some point, meaning they didn't get as much polish as they normally do.

Ah. Well, I'm glad the showrunners have an opportunity to take things slower. The quality of the episodes are really showing its working.

Yeah, at this point I'm comfortable saying that if some of S3's scripts feel underbaked (e.g. pacing issues, rushed endings) it's because they actually were. Thankfully that hasn't been the case this season.

I'm just looking at the castle and the mountain next to it (Canterlot), the princess/queen overlooking it all (Celestia) and the pink bird and the "best friends forever" slogan. It just brought Pony to mind when I looked at it (like many things do.) :v:
