I'm sure the topic isn't directed toward me at all as someone who just came back after not being around for a long time (and I wasn't very active before due to my shyness -lol-), but I'm still looking forward to seeing what your surprise is.

Twas a green Christmas this year. My first one, it's depressing since it's not really green, but brown.

I've never had a white Christmas. I've never even seen snow in person.

No snow here. Tropical region and all...

I'm 22 years old and I've been in snow only twice in my life. c:

After my parents divorced, my dad would take us (my siblings and I) once a month for the weekend until we were about 13 or so. A couple of those times we went up to the mountains to play in the snow, and in both trips I vomited multiple times during the car ride up and down the mountain. It was awful. xD

What's really aggravating me right now:

My younger brother (who is 21) always acts like hes 3 years old. It's partially because he's special ed, but it's mostly because my mom and her boyfriend have always not only encouraged the behavior, but wont let him act like an adult on the rare occasions in which he kinda tries to. He has the ability to mentally grow up, but they wont let him and it aggravates me to no end. =__=

And he knows it's wrong, because he tries his best to act normal when we go out, but always ends up embarrassing himself in front of strangers because he has no idea how to act his age.

And it doesn't help that I'm not a fan of young kids and the way that they act, .

Right now he's stomping around the hallway with his shoes on (I swear he's purposely being as loud as he can possibly be) and playing some weird form of tag with my mom's boyfriend. It's so annoying and disruptive.

Have you guys made sure to grab two of the new dragon eggs for the Christmas event?



It's a very pretty design, I wonder what it'll look like.    It's really too bad that you can only own two of each event dragon, I'd love to snag a few more.

Also, apparently there's a contest for the cooking event, and the winners get a unique dragon as a prize. I might try to enter. what about you guys?

Definitely honesty. 

It's very rare for me to ever lie about an opinion that I have, in fact I can go completely out of my way to make sure people know how I feel about a small subject.

You really should put some sort of warning for that. I'm wearing headphones with the volume on rather high. x____x
/mini heart attack

Not to mention all the bright flashing colors.

But anyways, I absolutely love dogs. Last month when we visited my aunt for Thanksgiving, I spent the entire day playing with her dogs. I hardly talked to anybody. xD That was fun. And whenever I see someone walking their dog(s), I absolutely have to look at it and guess what breed or mix it is in my head, . Not that I'm any sort of expert, I forget breed names all of the time.

I own a silky terrier mix who doesn't play with toys due to how her previous owners brought her up. I love her to death and I'll never, ever replace her, but it does make me yearn for a dog I can play with. So one day when I can afford it, I plan on getting another dog (most likely labrador retriever). Then we shall go to a dog friendly park and play fetch for hours and hours and live happily ever after.

I actually just started playing again. I generally tend to camp where you can pick up abandoned eggs to try and snag eggs that only have a limit of 1-4 days to hatch until they die. They usually hatch pretty fast and it's a great way to try and populate my small scroll. 

And guys, you don't have to worry about posting your dragons to get views and clicks. Just use the hatcheries that fans made.

Of course the DC forum seems to be offline, so I can't link to the thread that lists them all. But these are the ones that I use:

The Allure of Neglected Dragons
DragHatch
Dragon Dump
Egg Drop Soup

Hope it helps! 

Oh and this is my little scroll: Kallico

Video Games Archive / Re: Easter Eggs you've found in games.

2012 Dec 24, 13:18:36

In Super Mario Galaxy 2, in one of the levels, if you switch to first person view and look in the distance on the cliffs, you may find these weird shadow people.

They look like aliens, to me.

What makes them even more creepy is that no matter where you are in that level, you can see them off in the distance watching you. 

Not sure if it counts as an Easter egg, but if you type 'Pewdiepie' in Scribblenauts Unlimited, you'll spawn the Youtube Let's Player. I tried to find a screenshot with Google, but couldn't and my gaming computer is being repaired right now. The character looks... interesting to say the least. xD

In Super Smash Brothers Brawl, you can see a photo of a developer's cat hiding in the shack in the pokemon stadium level.

You know where you find Princess Zelda in Ocarina of Time? When I was a kid, I looked through one of the windows  on the caste walls in the area where you first see her as a kid, and I saw pictures of Nintendo characters aligned on a wall inside. I think that was the very first Easter egg I've ever found, and I remember boasting about it to everyone I knew. xD

I don't know if I figured this out or not, but there's another window at the other side of the area with the princess. When you look inside, it's just an empty hallway. But if you shoot it with a slingshot, a guard will poke his head out and throw a bomb at you. How rude!

the machinery is probably not "enchanted" by unicorn magic, my theory is that the power that unicorn magic is made from is used as electricity, makes a little sense right?

Lauren did actually say that "electric" appliances were enchanted by unicorns. The appliances themselves were.

(small spoiler from Apple Family Reunion that sorta/kinda/maybe disproves this)

While I'm sure Lauren did say that, I feel I should probably point out that the sewing machines used in Apple Family Reunion seemed to be run either by a battery or a motor of some kind.

Although I'm not sure if they really count as electric appliances when they're run by a motor. I'm such a derp when it comes to technology. 

But all the appliances seem that way. What made you think the SMs to be different? The noise? If I remember correctly, other magic-run appliances weren't noiseless.

It's the noise and the fact that to turn it on, they pull a plug thing that seems to start the motor. I mean I guess it could still be enchanted by magic, but it really doesn't look like it to me. -shrug-

I'm so happy AJ finally not only got her own episode, but a song that I actually really like!  This new season is turning out to be the best one yet by far.

The ending is very sad for me though, assuming that the two falling stars were indeed meant to represent her supposedly deceased parents.

Why on Monday? Is that how it always works with episode spoilers?

Spoiler: show

I watched the episode again after reading the OP and that was such a sad scene to watch afterward. It definitely tugged at a few of my heart strings. 

I hope the writers will make an episode about it. I know it's supposed to be child friendly, but Full House made an episode like that to teach kids how to get through the death of a family member. Anyone else watch the episode when  that old man (I think he was Michelle's grandpa) passed away? It was so sad watching Michelle and one of her uncles go through it.

Perhaps maybe MLPFiM might decide to take the same risk?

I go something
Look at the episode that ash get pikachu. Before he have pikachu, there was no Pokemon. As soon as he got electrocuted, there was Pokemon everywhere. The theory is that the only existing Pokemon is pikachu. The others are part of his imagination.

For those wondering what exactly the 'Ash Coma Theory' is, go here for a full (and long) explanation:

MLP: FiM SD Archive / Re: How far do you think MLP:FIM will make it?

2012 Aug 11, 19:14:44

26 episodes in one season is a huge amount for any show. Especially for a show that is now trying to have great musical numbers that I would personally expect from a movie. Keep in mind that quite a few shows have a lot less episodes per season. Like for example, The Walking Dead which is also a huge hit. Thirteen episodes for a season is plenty as far as I'm concerned.    Especially because with less episodes, the staff can focus more on quality rather than quantity.

The show has such a huge following that unless it's just some fad that's going to die down (which is sadly possible), I'd say it can easily last another 8 seasons at this rate. But that's assuming that the show's quality wont start to die down.

2012 Aug 11, 08:52:23

Eep, your computer is kinda poop.  That really is a shame, but I'll try to help out as best I can. I wish I knew more about hardware.

First of all, please right click your desktop, select 'properties', and then go to the 'Settings' tab. Under 'Display:' you'll see your graphics card, what is it? If it's not really, really old, you should be able to update its' latest driver via Google. That can make a huge difference right there.

How often do you defragment? Defragmenting on a regular basis makes a very big difference (at least for me) and make sure to restart your computer afterwards, especially if it does a big sweep.

Now a program that I really, really recommend is Advanced Systemcare as it's the best registry scanner I've ever used, but it's useless unless you have the full version. I suggest getting the full version with serials that you can find on Youtube (yes, really) and if it makes a big difference, then buy it. If you get the free version, then it'll do a free scan and only fix a few things, but if you've never used a 'big' registry scanner before, it'll most likely find lots and lots of things for computers that haven't been reformatted in a while and wont fix them for you.

The reason why I say to try it first with a 'fake'serial is because a lot of people claim that it ripped them off and that it only pretends to find a lot of registry errors and then fixing them doesn't do anything. This way you can test that theory out first.

It also comes with game booster (additional program) and settings to help boost your computer speed during gaming.

What do you use for malware or spyware (viruses)? I highly recommend that you get Super Antispyware and Malwarebytes. Both have great free versions and you really don't need the ones that cost money. I've used a lot of virus programs through-out the years (several I wasted quite a few dollars on) that were either too sensitive and/or couldn't find as much as these two programs. Always do full scans and update right before every scan, trust me.

I know that there's stuff I'm not thinking of at the moment, but I hope that will help you.  Sorry it's a bit rushed.
