So lately there's been a lot of buzz in the gaming community about Jimmy Kimmel doing a skit on Let's players and people who watch them. Having just watched the skit, I was (not really) surprised to find that it was actually pretty harmless yet you have idiots from Youtube sending Kimmel horrible comments going as far as to threaten his own kid's life (Youtube posters doing such a despicable thing? Why I never).

The video in question.

Truthfully, I can understand why Kimmel is so surprised by how much this Let's Play fad has taken off. A lot of Let's Players are older than me but even then, however, I just don't see the entertainment value in a Let's Play. What is so great about watching some numbnuts scream and act like a five year old while playing a video game? That's the kind of stuff I did when I was little and growing up with the N64(Not trying to insult the N64, I still love that console). Walkthroughs I can understand watching because those can actually be pretty helpful especially if you're on the fence about buying a certain game or if you're stuck at a certain part but Let's Plays I just don't get. To me, they're pretty much the lowest form of entertainment.

As for the whole controversy with Kimmel, the way the gaming community has been handling this is truly disgusting. It's one thing not to find a joke funny, I get that. Not everyone is going to find the same thing humorous but when you start threatening the lives of the man and his children, then you're really crossing the line. These guys want to prove to Kimmel that they're not losers or anything of the sort yet that's exactly how they're acting. They are embodying the very stereotypes that surround gamers (easily angered, irrational, violent, etc). Kimmel is older than most gamers today so obviously he's going to be confused by this. It happens with every previous generation. Heck, it's happening with people from our generation. Many of us don't understand why kids today like a certain thing, kind of like how our parents were/are with our interests and kind of like their parents before them and their parents before them. It's a generational thing that will more than likely always exist in some way or another.

EDIT: I guess I should probably mention that even though I don't like most Let's Plays, there are some I do find some entertainment in. Kr1t1kal is just one Let's Player I do find funny and that's because 1. He actually has pretty humorous commentary and 2. He doesn't need to pretend to be someone else when playing a game. DSP, or DarksydePhil, is another one I like (ironically) because it's just so amusing watching him flounder around with even the simplest task in a game.

I can't say like or dislike Google's new logo. There's just nothing to like or dislike about it. As others have said, it's pretty bland and it doesn't have the same identity that the old one had.

Even though Journey of the Brave (as it's now officially called) is going to be released soon, I don't think they'll be reviving the show. It's been eight years since the series had its "hiatus" and since it's been such a long time, I don't think they'll see need to bring it back especially since, from what I've heard, it didn't bring in much of an audience.

Part of the issue I saw with the TV series was that it came out at the wrong time. By the time it was released, LBT wasn't bringing Universal a profit anymore. People just weren't interested in LBT anymore. Had it been released sometime in the 90's when Land Before Time was at its peak I think the show would have had a better chance. Probably better animation too.

So I've been browsing several different wikis (MLP, One Piece, Naruto, Metal Gear, even Land Before Time to name a few) and each one of them has had this strange pop up written in all Japanese lettering. I used Google Translate to make find out what it was saying and roughly it translates to "This community is asking the post of your such a fan! Let's edit the article."

Now I probably would have brushed it off if it was something that just popped up on wikis for eastern franchises like Metal Gear or One Piece but it's even popped up on wikis for western brands like MLP or Land Before Time. I doubt this thing is supposed to be showing up so I wonder if either 1. It's a new feature that's been/being installed on all Wikis (unlikely). 2. There's a virus or something on Wikia (possibly). Or 3. My computer has Malware on it that's making it pop up (also possible but seeing as how I didn't find anything out of the ordinary when I checked My Computer, I don't think it's that.

In response to Ludichris1 (I know I'm replying to a two year old post), there actually is a band called Little Foot Long Foot. I haven't really listened to any of their stuff but I discovered them by, of course, looking up Littlefoot on Google. Wonder if Littlefoot would ever listen to their songs.

That's pretty cool that Petrie shares his name with a school. I wonder if it's a high school, middle school, or grade school.

Littlefoot: I have no idea how I'm even holding on right now.

It is? Maybe I've just become really desensitized to horror, maybe it's because I've seen some pretty messed up stuff (in movies, real life, internet, etc) but if this is supposed to be scary then it's a pretty darn tame kind of scary. I don't know, to me it looks more like cover art from a Gorillaz album (not dissing the Gorillaz either, I love their songs).

I'm pretty late in sharing my thoughts on this episode. Ponyception. It's a pony within a pony.

First I have to ask why we're getting a mini hiatus in between the first and second halves of the season? They never did this with previous seasons of pone. I know season three had mini hiatuses in between episodes but that was usually just a week in between.

Anyway, this was a really fun episode. Some great character development for Princess Luna and it's neat getting to see the mane six's nightmares (Rainbow Dash's was by far the scariest. Brrr). I also liked how all of Ponyville had a hand in stopping the tantabus. Some of the dreams the other ponies have are quite hilarious and for some (Scootaloo for instance) pretty heartwarming.

The tantabus was a pretty cool and surprisingly threatening villain. I was surprised that a one shot villain managed to be so dangerous. Usually the one shot villains were either ridiculously incompetent (the diamond dogs) or acting sorely on instinct (the parasprites). Also, on a final note, Big Mac is best princess! Sorry Luna but that title's been given to another.

Double post but I just found some stuff regarding the second half of season five and season six http://www.equestriadaily.com/2015/07/sdcc...oints.html#more

Some noteworthy reveals

Fluttershy has a brother. We will see him soon!

Apple Family stuff on the way, with Hearthswarming Eve episode on the way for it.

New character coming: Orchard Blossom. Meghan thinks shes hilarious

Some Q & A stuff

Q: Why can't vinyl speak?
A: She speaks through her music. Maybe she chooses not to speak. They like her as the pony of no words, because it makes her cooler

Q: Are there going to be more comics in season 6?
A: As long as people keep buyin them!

Q: What season are the CMC Getting their cutie marks?
A: When they deserve them. They asked if they want them to get their marks, and all the kids said yes.

There's more stuff provided on the link, including the return of a certain villain. I'm glad to hear that the comics will continue and I hope that sooner or later, the Cutie Mark Crusaders finally do get their cutie marks. The part about Fluttershy having a brother sounds rather interesting. How much you want to bet he'll be the exact opposite of his sister?

Huh. That makes sense. I've never heard anyone say "Let's mend the fence" so this didn't make much sense to me. Thanks, and again, sorry if I seemed whiny in my last post.
