Man, that IS pretty awesome. Has she been voicing AJ from day one, then? Is this her?

You can enable mouse controls via the menu screen, but I think I'm honestly more comfortable with the feel of the keyboard; it brings back some pretty awesome memories of countless childhood hours spent playing through Catacomb 3-D. Thanks for sharing!

Pah! Rainbow and AJ seem to bottom out on every character poll these days--Ashleigh Ball is disappoint, bronies. Very happy to see the villain love on the secondaries list, though.

Thanks for putting all of this together again, blindhobo. Always fun to see where everyone else is at with the show.

As I understand it, his primary work is in theatre, film and T.V., and he's been really surprised and excited by the response he's received for his VO work, and for those two characters in particular (game nerds are best fans, natch). Since they're both now "retired" for the forseeable future, this video was his way of expressing his gratitude to the fans.

I do really like Steve Blum's development in Tamers.

DEM SPOILERZ

DEM VAGUE SPOILERZ




He goes from...

"Those kids... augh"

to

"Those kids... may be our only hope"

and it's kinda cool because he delivers the lines so similarly.

Did you know that Blum voices Guilmon, as well? There's more than just Spiegel rattling around in that voice box of his--love it when he gets to stretch his range.

They'll be great, no doubt, but I really wanna see if 16 changes anything. If not, I fear there is no hope.

I absolutely love the alternative styles that the back half of this season has rolled out. On top of the three scenes from this episode, we've had the Daring Do scenes in all their grainy glory, a rare glimpse into the felt-based world of Pinkie Pie's brain, and the 50's-style pegasus PSA (If you see the Dash, duck and cover!)

Also, "Engineer is a Flutterspy" = alright, YouTube comment, enjoy your victory.

MLP proselytization... errr, I mean watchthrough topics truly will never get old; swap every instance of "Rainbow Dash" with "Pinkie Pie" in your writeup and you'll pretty much have the initial character judgment of Omega, a recent postulant... errr, enthusiast. Looking forward to this.

Met the rather awesome Ashleigh Ball at the Charlottetown Hey Ocean concert last night (if you haven't heard Hey Ocean live, by the way, you haven't heard Hey Ocean. Their on-stage camaraderie and charisma make for a pretty spectacular show).

Asked her to scribble whatever she deemed appropriate onto the shirt I was wearing, and she did just that.

Congrats, Omega. Congrats, and welcome.

That's a nice-looking pony ranking you've got there, by the way. Pinkie Pie's subtle, methodical ascension of the pony hierarchy and eventual wriggling into your reluctant heart has been a delight to watch, let me tell you.

The main plot was kind-of expected, the sendoff seemed like it was too much pressure.

All the little details were unexpected and awesome, though.

I'm completely with you, but I'd argue that it's those little details that separate the good FiM episodes from the top-tier ones--Party of One is the only exception I can think of in which the overarching story or plot twist held the banner.

This was such a fantastic episode, even putting aside THAT CONSPICUOUSLY YAWNING CHASM THAT HAS TORN THE INTERNET ASUNDER

I don't think we've ever had a more magnificent display of the characters bouncing off of each other--AJ was the lynchpin of the story, sure, but this was a Mane-6-at-their-best performance through-and-through, from chimicherrychangas to hellish railcar rides into the sunset. Yo, Amy Keating Rogers--please enjoy your permanent place in the Holy Trinity. Please make room, Meghan McCarthy and M.A. Larson.

Allow this video to purge any hesitation that lingers in your heart.

(EDIT: These three minutes of footage were my very first exposure, and the "what the hell is going on in this game" factor completely won me over and had me cheering like a moron. That said, read MSG's post following this one before you click, as it's bound to ring completely true for some people as well.)

Indeed, WACKY SPOILERS IN THIS VIDEO.)

Yeah this didn't seem like a McCarthy episode. It's getting to the point where I can kind of tell the writing styles apart.

Indeed, this was a Charlotte Fullerton ep (she has some good work under her belt as well, though; her last piece was "May the Best Pet Win").

Here's a link to the source of those fantastic tarot cards:

Only the three for now, and it's been a few months since the last one, but here's to hoping that the project's taken off the backburner soon.
