My first video is live!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WDiFmTiAX80Watch me play Settlement Survival, a citybuilder. Feedback welcome and encouraged.
I've been thinking of starting up a new YouTube channel of me playing games. I don't want to stream, I just want to record the game and my voice. I'll need to get a better mic and I've downloaded Obs for recording. I haven't set it up yet or tried it though. I'm not looking to make an income or anything, it's just something I want to do for fun. Does anyone else do this? Post your channel  (as long as it is PG-13, but I think YouTube doesn't let you swear anymore?) edit: I was able to record myself playing a game! My microphone in my camera is really sensitive and picks up everything. I had the game music up too high, I'm hard to hear (I don't project my voice often), and you can hear my chair creak and the fans in my PC tower. I'm going to see if there's free audio software to block out background noise. Now I'm trying to figure out how to edit the video in Obs. editx2: Well, you can sort of edit in Obs? But not the kind I want, so I have to find software (hopefully free) for doing that. Can you edit video in Photoshop?  I went ahead and ordered a real microphone and some accessories that should block out the background noise. I also set up a second channel on YouTube for my game videos It's here, if anyone wants to give me a follow - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtYp1kYAYBDUW0Yz_TWx3Iw

Not exactly a toy but a fun thing. I had Sea Monkeys years ago and they lived for a while, maybe a year and half. They were fun to watch. I recently bought an Aqua Dragons kit after doing some research. Aqua Dragon are supposed to be better quality in terms of hatching and lifespan. visitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginEverything it comes with; tank, eggs, food, magnifying glass, spoon, air bubbler. visitors can't see pics , please register or loginIt even has an LED light. visitors can't see pics , please register or loginThis is after adding the eggs and aerating the tank. The booklet said some will hatch right away but they'll be too small to see. They should double in size over the next few hours. Tomorrow they get fed for the first time. I'll keep this post updated on my little shrimp

I know a lot of people got the ponies, I still need them myself. I didn't know World's Smallest had blind bags. I was browsing toys at Walmart.com and came across them. They are $5 and some change. I bought one and got Barrel of Monkeys. I had one of these as a kid but I swear my barrel was red. Anyway, here it is. visitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginBut the best part was it came with a fold out of all the ones you can get. They had a mini Slinky, which I think is adorable and a mini Ouija board!!! I had to have it, but instead of getting more blind bags I just ordered the Slinky and Ouija directly. They were $9 and some change, but I think it's worth it. The Ouija board should come tomorrow but the Slinky has a delivery date of Nov 13th. They had some other ones I'd like, Operation game, Mousetrap, Trivial Pursuit, they also have G5 ponies now. I think I'll get a couple more blind bags too. I'll be sure to share pics when I get everything  In the meantime, do you have any World's Smallest? Please share!

Update: Buyer backed out.
The buyer is asking for an untracked package but as far as I can see, you can't send an untracked package to Canada.
It's a baby pony, about 4 oz, in a padded envelope 11x8. The cheapest shipping I've found is $15 through USPS.
Can anyone scrounge up a better price?

This week I interviewed poniesthatsparkle! Thank you so much!
Personal-
Where did you get your user name?
It was something I came up with on the spot. I love ponies with glitter!
What are your hobbies?
I enjoy reading! I mostly enjoy anything fantasy and sci-fi, but occasionally I'll find books from other genres that I love. I've also been doing a lot of diamond painting lately.
Do you have any pets?
A cat, hamsters, and fish!
Do you collect anything other than ponies?
I also collect Build a Bears, Webkinz, Lion King toys, Care Bears, Star Wars toys, and Elvis Presley merchandise.
Ponies-
How long have you been collecting ponies?
I got my first ponies around 2004/2005, but I got seriously about collecting them around 2014.
Why did you start collecting ponies?
They bring me a lot of joy! I love horses and anything fantasy, so it was inevitable that I'd love ponies. They're also very nostalgic!
Who is your favorite pony and why?
G4 Twilight Sparkle. My favorite color is purple, and I relate to her a lot!
Who is your least favorite pony and why?
G2 Miss Painter. I'm not a fan of her color scheme.
Who is your favorite pony from another country?
My Mexican Twilight!
Who is your favorite fakie?
I have a little green and pink Lanard pony that I love!
Who was your first pony?
I'm not sure. It was either G1 Starglow, G3 Rainbow Flash, or G3 Petal Blossom
What pony did you get recently?
G3 Abra-ca-dabra!
What is your favorite generation?
It's a tie between G1 and G3.
What is your favorite part about collecting?
I love hunting for ponies at flea markets and thrift stores, as well as restoring them!
How big is your collection?
It's been a while since I've counted my ponies, but I'm estimating I have around 600-700 ponies.
What do your friends and family think about your collection?
My family is supportive of it and they enjoy seeing new ponies I add to my collection. Most of my friends are pretty neutral about it.
Do you still play with your ponies?
Not really, unless you count taking pictures of them occasionally.
If you could have any pony remade in a different generation, who would you choose and why?
G1 Milkway into G3. With G3 ponies having more detailed symbols, I'd love to see what Milkway would've looked like if she was made during G3! Same for any of the other TAF ponies.
What has been the worst part about collecting?
The cost. There are so many ponies that I'd love to own, but can't afford. It's hard to justify spending so much on a toy, so for a lot of ponies I'm just hoping I'll get lucky and find them for a good deal. I try not to spend more than $50 on a single pony.
What is your ultimate collecting goal?
I'd love to own every G3 pony!
Who is your grail pony and why?
G1 Nightglider. Unfortunately I don't have her yet.
Do you prefer loose or MIP ponies?
Normally I prefer loose so I can enjoy them! But there are some ponies I prefer MIP due to the design of the packaging. So it really depends on the pony.
Quick! Close your eyes and grab a pony! Who did you get?
TAF Buttons!
Are you a customizer?
I am! I don't customize ponies a whole lot, but I do enjoy doing it from time to time.
What do you think of custom ponies?
I think it's a great way to give a baity pony a new life!
What are acceptable and unacceptable pony flaws, in your opinion?
I don't mind things that can easily be repaired, such as trimmed hair. I'm always willing to rehair a pony if I can get a exact color match. Repainting symbols is iffy since in my opinion it rarely ever looks exact. Spots that don't sunfade easily or bite/chew marks are unacceptable for me.
Would you rather have a bait pony or a fakie?
A bait pony!
Do you watch pony shows/movies?
Not very often, but I do enjoy the G1 movie and some G4 episodes.
What is the worst thing you've ever done to a pony?
I scored a really nice G1 Fleecey at a flea market for a dollar, brought her home, and left her somewhere where my cat was able to get to her. He found her and chewed her up. To this day I regret not putting her somewhere safe.
Fill in the blank!
"I wish Hasbro would _______"
I wish Hasbro would focus on making all sorts of new ponies instead of giving us the same 5-6 ponies every year. I miss the variety they used to have!
"When I was new to ponies I didn't know ______"
When I was new to ponies, I didn't know just how addicting they'd be!
"I think the most underappreciated pony is _______ because ______"
I think the most underappreciated pony is G1 Coco Berry because her pose and colors are great!
"I think more ponies should have ______"
I think more ponies should have glitter!
"I don't like _______ because _______"
I don't like most deflocked ponies because their colors are too bright.
"I love ______ because ______"
I love G3 because of how detailed they are! A lot of them also have tinsel in their hair which I love.

This is a knockoff of Calico Critters, but it's good quality and affordable. It's relatively new too I think, there isn't much in the line yet. I think they are super cute. I had a few Calico Critters as a kid, but I don't know what happened to them. They can be pricey. Honey Bee Acres seems like a good alternative. These pics are from Amazon but Walmart sells them too. visitors can't see pics , please register or loginThere's a farmhouse with furniture kits sold separately. visitors can't see pics , please register or login

Welcome to another interview! This time with TheClassCalico! Thanks so much
Personal-Where did you get your user name? I’ve always had a cat-themed username, but at some point or another, I switched to TheClassCalico. If memory serves, it was as simple as me liking how it looked, rather than any special meaning. How old are you? I am 23. Do you go to school or work? Currently, no. What are your hobbies? Needle felting, drawing, collecting (natural history items, Furbies and My Little Ponies), gaming, and sometimes researching topics of interest, usually pertaining to animals. Do you have any pets? Yes! I have a leopard gecko named Choy, two rats named Sugar and Honey, a cat named Pebbles and a dog named Tyson. Ironically, he’s a chihuahua. If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be? I’m not quite sure, maybe Canada or Denmark. Do you collect anything other than ponies?As previously mentioned, natural history items (bones, pelts, wet specimens, etc.) and Furbies. Ponies-How long have you been collecting ponies? Since I was a small child, but I've been more actively collecting since 2013 or so. Why did you start collecting ponies? I simply like them. I’ve always liked fantasy and a lot of the ponies have nice designs. I also think that there's a certain degree of nostalgia there influencing my interest. Who is your favorite pony and why? Wind Whistler. Blame My Little Pony & Friends. Who is your favorite pony from another country? Felicidades. Who is your favorite fakie? I think it’d a tie between the concerned pony and Princess Rinse ‘N’ Spit. What pony did you get recently? My most recent purchases were Flowerburst and Dainty. I like to think that they are a couple. What is your favorite generation? G1! What is your favorite part about collecting? I suppose that collecting itself just makes me happy, it’s satisfying. Getting a new pony is always such a nice feeling. How big is your collection? Relatively small, but not tiny. What do your friends and family think about your collection? They don’t mind. My mother buys me some ponies from time to time. Do you still play with your ponies? I sometimes like to stick my G3s to the fridge just to be silly.  Other than that, no. What rare or popular pony makes you ask why!? Rapunzel’s price makes me want to cry. If you had to have a pony symbol tattooed on your butt, which would you pick and why? G1 Moondancer’s. It looks like it would make for a nice tattoo. If you could have any pony remade in a different generation, who would you choose and why? I’d love a G1 Lady Rainbow. She’s lovely and I feel as though she’d fit into G1 nicely. What has been the worst part about collecting? The expense can get a bit much sometimes. I’ve yet to start getting anything super expensive, but I know I’ll get there and looking at some of the prices alone stings a little. What is your ultimate collecting goal? Perhaps to acquire a genuine Takara pony. What is your biggest collecting regret? I got my first G1, Skydancer, and proceeded to customise her…poorly. Oops! Who is your grail pony and why? I don’t really have a single grail, but to name one, Ami Ami. Do you have it? Ha! I wish. Do you prefer loose or MIP ponies? I prefer ponies loose. Quick! Close your eyes and grab a pony! Who did you get? G3.5 Cheerilee Are you a customizer? Nope! Although I dabbled in it when I was younger. Would you ever be? Potentially! I’d like to get into it someday. What do you think of custom ponies? They’re great! There are some gorgeous pieces of art made by the community. What are acceptable and unacceptable pony flaws, in your opinion? Really anything acceptable is something that can be cleaned or is very minimal, such as a minor paint smudge. If it’s something that cannot easily be cleaned and is very noticeable, I will probably skip on the pony. Would you rather have a bait pony or a fakie? A bait. Do you watch pony shows/movies?
Which ones? I watch/have watched all of them! Do you read pony comics?
Which ones? I’ve read some of the G4 and G2 comics, but I couldn’t name specifics. What is the worst thing you've ever done to a pony? As mentioned previously, I customised poor Skydancer. She’s now missing a lot of paint and is overall a mess. Fill in the blank! "I wish Hasbro would add more character variety to more recent generations" "When I was new to ponies I didn't know that Nirvanas existed" "I think the most underappreciated pony is Copper Glow because she has such a nice design" "I think more ponies should have 3D symbols" "I don't like Pony Life because of the random humour" "I love G1 because of the variety in ponies and because they look a little bit like Shetland ponies"

visitors can't see pics , please register or loginHappy Fall for everyone in the Northern hemisphere!  Autumn FiresBy Robert Louis Stevenson In the other gardens And all up in the vale, From the autumn bonfires See the smoke trail! Pleasant summer over, And all the summer flowers, The red fire blazes, The grey smoke towers. Sing a song of seasons! Something bright in all! Flowers in the summer, Fires in the fall!
This is my, and many others, favorite season! Where I live, I don't get to experience the leaves changing, but it does get cooler and many birds migrate here from colder areas. Of course the biggest thing that happens where I live is the influx of tourists Prices have already been set high for their arrival and bathing suits can be seen for sale along side coats for the locals. My fridge is stocked with pumpkin spice, I have washed my fuzzy socks, my fall candles are displayed and soon I can open the windows to let in the fresh autumn air  What is your favorite thing about this season?
