Finished another awesome year at bronycon today, update post and such coming later. Grey and I were having our last dinner a few minutes ago at Bubba Gumps, and an extended family of about 11 were having issues splitting up the check. I may have accidentally paid their entire check after following their server into the kitchen. Oops. The server was cool and said exactly what I asked, of “some random person in here paid for your check, everything’s covered”. They were definitely not there for the con, so I know they won’t see this and spoil my cover.
Thanks everypony that bought something from me, you helped me have enough to randomly pay for a group’s dinner.
This is the guy that also gave me a couple of patches for free.
Basically the nicest person ever.
1) Woah! Woah! What the [omitted] dude?!
2) You’re basically out of lines then, huh? Probably should have quit while you were ahead.
After a short break, an earth pony mare steps into the ring with a foam battle-axe, and introduces herself as Juniper Berries of Coltswell.
Announcer: “Let’s hear it for our new challenger, Juniper Berries!”
The crowd stomps enthusiastically as the two contestants get into position.
Announcer: “Are you ready? And… fight!”
Before Juniper Berries can so much as react, Gerwalta’s weapon becomes a spiraling blur, and the foam battle-axe is sent flying out of the ring. Instantly disarmed, the pony finds herself at the mercy of the griffon’s foam spear, and eagerly resigns.
Moonflower: “Whoa, cool!”
Announcer: “This is it, ponies! Gerwalta the Gladiator claims her hundredth victory in a row!”
The crowd cheers once more. Gerwalta and Juniper Berries bow to each other, then the mare picks up her weapon, and returns it to the rack.
Minuette: “Over already? I know it’s all in good fun, but that Gerwalta looks a bit too strong for the league. I wonder if anypony can end her streak.”
Doesn’t seem like much of a tournament to me. Just looks like a single individual taking on any untrained challenger. No sign-up, no brackets. Was this event even promoted?
just downloaded this game, I hope I can get Terra!
There’s an event going on until the end of the 17th where if you make an account you get a bunch of free stuff, including 10 random rare character unlocks.
Well, there’s a trick called rerolling that you can do to manipulate your odds on those unlocks, if you have the time. This video explains it better than any of the write ups I read.
I did about 20-30 rerolls trying to get Leo before I settled on Terra, but in between all of that I had pulled every other rare character in the game other than Leo. And some of them multiple times!
(I don’t know what it is about these last few drawings. but I just don’t feel like they have been particularly as good as what I normally produce. Sorry for the wavering quality.)
I thought they looked great! But I hear artists have that problem now and again, where they see more flaws in their own work than they normally do.
Careful not to get the packages confused there Bons.
Bon-Bon: No comment.
Bon-Bon: Four years… I waited four years…
Bon-Bon: I have made a terrible mistake…
Lyra: Haha! Wow! Is that off-season cider?! Non-alcoholic, I assume.
Bon-Bon: Well, of course. What do you take me for?
Lyra: Clearly “a hypocrite” would be asking too much. How about, “a pony“?
Bon-Bon: Why in Equestria did I hire Twist? I’ve never had an employee before! What do I do if she messes up?! I could never discipline her, let alone fire her! She’s just a filly, and she’s my friend! I taught her for a year! She looked up to me! It would crush her!
Lyra: Did she do anything wrong today? Bon-Bon: Yes! Well, no. I don’t know!
Lyra: … Should I as-? Bon-Bon: I returned to the shop to show Twist how to close and went into the back. I noticed a container of cinnamon misplaced. I asked Twist about it and she said her hooves were full carrying the cinnamon rock candy she made.
Lyra: … This is over something stupid, isn’t it? Bon-Bon: She’s not supposed to be cooking without me! Lyra: Alright alright! Did you tell her that?
Bon-Bon: I was about to… But she said she was replacing the supply that got bought out, just like I’d do it. And I tasted it, and it was just like I make it. So… So I don’t know!
Lyra: Not used to trusting somepony else, are you?
Bon-Bon: As long as I do it I know it’s done right.
Lyra: This will be a great learning experience for you then! Or the straw that breaks the pony’s back. One of the two, I’m sure.
