I want all good TAS inside TASvideos, it's my motto.
TAS i'm interested:
Megaman series, specially the RPGs! Where is the mmbn1 all chips TAS we deserve? Where is the Command Mission TAS?
i'm slowly moving away from TASing fighting games for speed, maybe it's time to start finding some entertainment value in TASing.

I was at the Rite-Aid tonight, and decided to indulge my curiosity. They mostly had G3.5 coloring books, which caught me off guard. However, they did have some G4 stuff, when I saw something that almost made me laugh.
Twilight Sparkle is not pleased with that cupcake.
A hundred years from now, they will gaze upon my work and marvel at my skills but never know my name. And that will be good enough for me.
I find it rather hillarious how they always use the same stock vectors, with the original drawings looking beyond awful. It makes for a sharp contrast to the quality standard of the animation of the actual show.
I do wonder whether Twilight looking at the Cupcake this grimly has any context.

I'm pretty sure you're aware that this is fairly standard practice. People putting together promotional materials and merchandise packaging are often given a limited selection of clipart to work with.
The "Twilight angrily looking down" piece comes from a clipart of her standing on her hind legs to put her front hoofs on top a pedestal, upon which rests a book. And yes, she has the same furious look on her face. "Listen, book, I am going to study you whether you like it or not!" Unfortunately, I can't seem to locate it on Google, and the only place I've seen it has been inside the coloring books; if you want to check it for yourself, you'll have to go to a store and crack one of those open, unless someone else can find an image of it.
Sure it does: Applejack is the one trying to sell her that cupcake. She has every right to be nervous about it.

I'd imagine the SMB2u overworld theme as a far more fitting musical choice, thanks in no small part to various pony thread simulators.
Incidentally, here is a reading of another article of which I'll just assume was meant as sarcasm.

Well frick. Both my mom and dad are gonna being watching the show soon in order to get along with their granddaughters better.
My whole family is going bonkers! And I'm not helping in the least!

The rebellious counter-cultural nature of a young man liking MLP loses its punch when your whole family likes it instead of chastising you for it and being ashamed of you? ;)
But this means that if I were to ever play that game, I couldn't help but to be reminded of Twilight every time she speaks... Would that be a good or a bad thing, I wonder.
I made better versions of those MTG cards I posted earlier, and made a few additional ones. I also explain the design rationale behind them. More to come in the future.
