Merry Christmas everyone! Hope you all have a great holiday season full of fun and family and the true spirit of Christmas.

Short Story Contest

It's been a long time since I have been on this site, thanks Kevin for trying to keep it alive. In my attempt to help I'm starting this contest. Lets each post a small part of an original short story. We will then select the best and continue building the story. So lets say post your short by Feb 1st and we will go from there.

FPS legacy

Well I hope the silence means that everyone is to busy enjoying ponies to post to the blog. If that is the case I suppose it's up to me carry on.

 3 years before Halo turned the FPS word on it's tea-bagging head there was a little game that came out that paved the way. That game was Half Life. Up to this point very little had been done with the FPS since the days of Doom or Castle Wolfenstein. It was in the beginning of my sophomore year that me and a classmate were in charge of the High school computer lab. One day a shipment of software came in from Sierra, the company that created the "Dr. Brain" series. With a name like "Half-Life" I'm sure that someone thought It was some kind of educational chemistry game.

 The game it self is a blast to play, puzzle solving, and exploration are it's main staples but there are firefights and boss encounters as well. The best thing about the game is the atmosphere, play this game at night in the dark with your headphones, you won't regret it.

Perhaps a little odd

OK so a few weeks ago Barry stopped by and I happened to have something either on the TV or on the computer that was related to "My little Pony: Friendship is Magic" and he asked me what the deal is with the show and it's Huge internet following. So I though I'd share why I really like to the show and why you should give it a shot. First of all I love the work of Genndy Tartakovsky, he is the guy who was responsible for Dexter's Lab, Samurai Jack, and apparently is the director of the new dream works Hotel Transylvania. He's married to Lauren Faust, who was the executive producer of The Power Puff Girls and Fosters home for Imaginary friends. Anyway she's in charge of MLP and it really shows. The animation is clean and crisp, the Voice acting is some of the best I've ever heard ever. The characters are unique and engaging. And the world building that is going on is amazing. Now the show is not as EPIC as the trailer I linked makes it out to be, a couple of episodes are 80s cringe worthy but over all the show is really great and I encourage everyone to give it at least till episode 4 to make a decision.
