Only exposure I've had to 40k is the DoW games, liked Tau because you could shoot someone from halfway across the map (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
... Tell a lie, there was also those times when I worked the wardrobe at a local con. Hard to beat the look on the face of the thirty something with his massive battlebox, just after he got beaten by a 10 year old. |

Yeah, i only really KNOW the DOW Games too . .
I shelled out 65€(100$ or so i think) for the Black Reach starter set once. opened it up. 3 differen rulers, 3 different kinds of dice, no assembled miniatures, no brush, no paint, no glue. closed the lid on the box and wrote it off as not worth my time . . |

Were there any changes made for the german version of DoW? You guys tend to have it quite rough with anything over Rated E.

Nah, the animations were still funny and gory enough for my liking.

yep, there we have much less problems with the censorship . .
blood and gore is usually the main rason for censoring to appear on anything. nudity and religious symbols(aside from the swastika of course) are no problem at all in most cases. |

Big Mac. Shining Armor. Prince Blueblood. Mr. Cake. Flim. Flam. Soarin'. Rapidfire. Fancypants. Filthy Rich. Hoity Toity. King Sombra. Featherweight. Pound Cake. Snips. Snails. That's 16. I'm sure there's plenty more that play more than background. Cranky Doodle. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

Cranky Doodle. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) He's a donkey, not a pony. Just like Zecora is a zebra not a pony. |

And? He's still a character in the series, even if only an of-the-week variety.

There is a whole world of Ponies out there. In there. Somewhere. And yes, Dr.Whooves is THE Doctor in Pony-Form. Sometimes he changes it up for variety. -k |

newest episode is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DF1aaxIUa3w Say it with me, y'all, follow Twilight Sparkle's lead, with as much annoyance as you can muster: Applejack! Thank Celestia she wasn't sleep deprived, or the obstacle course like as not would have involved live 'gators and hoops of fire. |

So... None of you shadowbronies took a peek at my fanfic? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/frown.gif) I read through it. Seems like it's missing the end, so hard to give it a proper review (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Some quick comments (if you don't mind reviews. They'll feel like very long comments otherwise.) 1) Establish the conflict early. Reading through, I found several, but no single, overarching one to pull the plot together, and on page 60, you seem to be laying seeds for something totally different. 2) Eliminate everything unnecessary; -- Any sections or plotlines which do not contribute to developing your conflict (in most literature, scenes that develop your characters you should also keep, but your characters are already developed, so unless you're doing something new, keep that to a minimum). -- Unnecessary lines, especially references to previous episodes. If your reader saw the episode, they already will make the connection. If they haven't, it doesn't help them and breaks the narrative. -- Words which are superfluous, especially extra adjectives. 3) Pay careful attention to your white space. Towards the end, you have two people talking back and forth in the same paragraph. It makes it very dense and hard to follow. Aside from that, it was an enjoyable, easy read. I'd be very curious to see what you do to pull together the newest threat you brought up in the last pages. |

I read through it. Seems like it's missing the end, so hard to give it a proper review (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) It is a Work in Progress, I admit. QUOTE Some quick comments (if you don't mind reviews. They'll feel like very long comments otherwise.) I welcome them, even if I don't agree. QUOTE 1) Establish the conflict early.

If something monumentally doesn't work, it's not like I can't go back and cut it out later. I'm also doing rather a lot of character development and reconstruction. -- Unnecessary lines? I'm not sure there are that many of them. Besides, I like the call back. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) -- Superfluous adjectives?

Apple Reunion... Chinese labor farm..... then barn gets destroyed.... then everyone willingly gives labor.... wat? Because AJ getting to lead a song is so rare it was inspiring. More likely, though everypony wasn't too thrilled about the stuff Applejack had them doing, largely because she dramatically missed the point of a family reunion in her hurry to make it the best one ever; they understood that. Meanwhile, the family barn had been destroyed through an accident, and the Apple clan couldn't just leave the old homestead barnless, it's unthinkable! They had a shitload of heavy-duty workponies there, ranging from Braeburn to Big Mac and AJ herself, all of whom pitched in to raise the barn, because that's what you do when your family farm gets knocked down. What's kind of amazing, though, is that they managed to do it all in a few hours, with no planning whatsoever; time that had to include clearing away the remains of the old barn and tearing it down to reuse bits of it. Even assuming that the Apple family contains numerous carpenters and engineers (not a bad assumption given that some of them arrived via airship,) and thus no paid labor would be required, and even presuming the family had enough nails and other equipment on hand, and assuming that the land didn't need to be leveled or anything because it already had been, and assuming they already had plans on-hand from last time, erecting even a basic barn in a whole day would have been challenging, even given the far greater amount of strength and mass that an Earth Pony stallion (or mare) can bring to the party compared to an equivalent volume of adult human men. That they managed to erect a huge, multi-story barn, finish it, and paint and decorate it, in the time remaining in the day for the reunion? Well, I'm going to call "(Friendship is) Magic" on that one and say Applejack did it. |

The only logical explanation! the ponies are amish and have generations of barn raising experience, and magic amish labour powers! |
