I just pronounce like everything in Spanish.

Terraria.

I don't get what people's talkin' bout.

This, except that I pronounce it in Swedish. Ter-Ar-I-A. Strange English ways to pronounce stuff are strange.

Also, the gravitational lensing effect around black holes is fucking amazing. I don't know why they don't make black holes look like that in movies. It's so much cooler than the sorry excuse for a special effect that the new Star Trek film had.

This sounds awesome! I'm so downloading this to go look at Sagittarius A* when I get home.

Also, I'm making a pony sprite pack for Terraria for the hell of it.
All 17 mane styles:

A preview of the armor:


(If you're wondering why there is no tail, it's because there's only 2 pixels width of space for me to make it, so it would just look strange.)

That is so awesome! My brother is going to hate me for using that when we play Terraria. :D

I've been trying to get him to watch ponies for several months now.

Edit: I didn't think it was possible to hate Derpy Ditzy Doo, but after playing through that game...

Made a go at ponifying myself. I can't help but think it would've gone better if I'd done the framework by hand, then colored in photoshop, instead of shopping the whole way through.

Anyway, I digress. Here it is.

It took me a while to pick the main coloration. I couldn't find one that didn't look horrible for a while.

I think the most obvious problem is the too long muzzle, the rest looks pretty decent, I think

Confirming that that tank battle is indeed awesome.

Why is fire black on a thermal imaging camera, though? And why doesn't there seem to be any bullet drop on the longer range shots they fired?

Well, yes, if they have multiple voiceover languages 5 GB is not very strange, but I assumed that they would only have one voiceover set and then have multiple text-languages. Like the old games.

Minimum requirements for Battlefield 3
OS: Windows Vista or Windows 7
Processor: Core 2 Duo @ 2.0GHz
RAM: 2GB
Graphic card: DirectX 10 or 11 compatible Nvidia or AMD ATI card.
Graphics card memory: 512 MB
Hard drive: 15 GB for disc version or 10 GB for digital version

Recommended system requirements for Battlefield 3
OS: Windows 7 64-bit
Processor: Quad-core Intel or AMD CPU
RAM: 4GB
Graphics card: DirectX 11 Nvidia or AMD ATI card, GeForce GTX 460, Radeon Radeon HD 6850
Graphics card memory: 1 GB
Hard drive: 15 GB for disc version or 10 GB for digital version

I'm over the recommended specs, so I'm golden :D :D :D

Seems I'll have to upgrade. I'm above the minimum reqs, but minimum these days means "can run, and render at least one frame every minute" so I think I'll have to upgrade...

It seems my old dual core CPU is not cutting it any more. :(

About the differing disc and download version sizes: I was perplexed by that too, but there's no way extra languages take up 5 GB. At least I hope so. It has to be something with cutscene movies or sound. Maybe lower quality?

Ha! Finally found the place where the Newbie Training Grounds stuff is posted to. I am dumb. Got three days worth of catchin' up to do, lessee how it turns out...

Link for a guy who's equally unable to find it?

They did have singular units in the original Shogun but one bloke holding a bridge was kinda silly.

It'd still be cool if they went into a more 'myth and legend' type thing and you could have one heroic unit doing, well, mythical and legendary things, I agree. Maybe it'll happen. I mean, whilst there's plenty of historical periods left for war-waging, Total War has always had the possibility of expanding in a mythical direction.

Ever since playing Empire, I have been wishing for either a mod or a new TW game based on the Temeraire books.

My God, what have we done?

So, did the world actually end last Saturday? That they did something this awesome cannot possibly be true...

As for the drawing thing, it sounds neat, I might do some, if I get the time.

I have a two-year-old girl sitting on my lap when I watch most TV, and this is beating the little furry pants off of Curious George. What's your excuse?
Excusing myself from watching the show would imply there was something wrong with enjoying it in the first place.

Right on, my brony. *hoof-five*

But on topic, I don't think I've been waiting this hard for the new season of a TV Show, let alone a cartoon, in ages.

This, so very much this. The only thing I'm reluctant with regarding ponies is drawing fan art when someone is watching.

EDIT:
Here's the full version of the race image, in case you're interested.

At first I wondered why that pony had a hoof in its mouth, but then I realised it's the oxygen tube.

What's up with an ideal temperature of -76.7 °C? Sounds a bit cold for ponies if you ask me. :P

I ... I wish I could draw too.

Speaking of cupcakes...

Oh God. Oh God no. No. No no no no no no no no. Just no. No.

DO NOT WANT!

I had been avoiding that, and just reading the plot summary made me die a bit inside. I think I'll continue avoiding it.

So I finally got time to set up photoshop on my laptotp and got some free time to draw, so I made a self-ponification!

Spoiler: Picture (click to show/hide)

Yes, I put wings on my own pony, a guy can dream, right? ;)  Bonus points for recognising the cutie mark.

Maybe I should change the coloutr of the hair... It felt right putting (roughly) my own hair clour on there, but it doesn't really fit with the rest of the colours. What do you think?
That's cool. Did you draw that yourself or is a recolouring? ^^
Spoiler: Cutie Mark related, don't click if you haven't made a guess yet. (click to show/hide)

I did it myself. It took a while, though, mostly because I spent a lot of time getting the contours smooth and not bumpy from when I drew them wrong. :P

Spoiler: Reply to cutie mark spoiler (click to show/hide)

Edit: I just looked at the picture on my desktop computer and the colour of the body is completely different from what it looked like on my laptop. I thought it was grey, but on this monitor it looks pinkish-purple, which looks really strange.  :-\
