Pony Corral / Re: Who are the "Oldie Moldies"?
« on: March 18, 2012, 11:49:38 PM »
The first glimmers of my pony collection were around late 1998 / early 1999.  Started with a non working Talk-a-Lot, then a short time later got a really cute Princess Royal Pink with a well done punk mane and tail cut.

My collection really blossomed in April of 1999 when I accidentally sent a post to rec.games.video.classic instead of alt.toys.mi-little-pony...

http://groups.google.com/group/rec.games.video.classic/browse_thread/thread/7f0b07d5a9e141d3/8ecb9c053cb2d91?hl=en&q=baby+ponies+found+%2Botter#08ecb9c053cb2d91

That was one of my best misposts ever.  Because of that, another regular on rec.games.video.classic bought up a bunch of ponies real cheap at his various thrift stores and offered them to me equally cheap (cost plus shipping)

I'll have to see if I can dig up the post about that later.  I did do a little more searching, and apparently that big lot I got cheap had a Peruvian Pony in it that I resold for around $60 back then.

I've used Frak off and on since the late 70s/early 80s (original Battlestar Galactica).
Good.  Goooooooood! - Return of the Jedi (spoken in Palpatine's voice)
Khaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnn!!!!!!! - Star Trek II (and I was using that long before it became an Internet meme)
Rackin Frackin Rausey Rackin... - Muttley from Hanna Barbera.  But I picked up on that in City of Heroes years ago when fighting a Lost boss named Muxley.
And I have really picked up on occasionally saying stuff in a good spaced out Tommy Chong type voice lately.

And most frequent...  Ooteedee!!!!! (When I find a really good score at a thrift store or when a really good score pulls an excellent price.  That brings out my inner Jawa).

Star Trek Online.

Behold, the USS Wild Hare, under the command of Captain Elery Krayne:

That's his current ride.  At 40, he will go back to a Cruiser (USS Rabbitfire).

I voted for Maleficent. She was the only Disney villain that I ever found "scary" as a child. She shows up and places a death curse on a baby for no significant reason.

Agreed.  She is evil incarnate:  cold, cunning, yet charismatic (she is even creepier in Kingdom Hearts).  Maleficent is like a female Disney counterpart to Chancellor Palpatine

First one that comes to mind is Star Trek Online.  It's F2P now (and actually quite generous on the free accounts to boot.)

For consoles though:

Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance, Dark Alliance 2, Champions of Norrath (effectively Dark Alliance 3), and Champions: Return to Arms.  Those are available on the PS2 and the original XBox.  And even better, they can be networked.

The Dollhouse / Which Bratz Doll Is This?
« on: February 16, 2012, 10:27:07 AM »
I know she is a Bratz Cloe, but what line in particular is she from?  My first guess would be Flashback Fever 80s, but chances are, I would be "incorrect as usual, King Friday."

I still play City of Heroes, and am even staying subscribed to maintain VIP status, even though they have gone free to play.  I may even finally start recruiting for the Ponies of Paragon super group soon.  I also just recently (as in last night) started Star Trek Online.  Still in the tutorial and having a helluva time figuring things out.  Guild Wars 2 is coming soon, and that is one I am really excited about.

For non MMOs, I still like Dance Dance Revolution: Disney Grooves and Hottest Party 3, though I have not played either in months.  And We Cheer 2's workout mode is a part of my regular exercise routine after a Wii Fit Plus session.  There really aren't any other games I am heavily into at the moment.  I keep thinking I should get back into Kingdom Hearts on the PS2 and at least try to finally get out of Monstro, and then perhaps give Dark Cloud a try again, or Disney Golf...or Tiger Woods PGA '10 on the Wii, or fire up the machine I have MAME installed on and get back into the classics.  So much to do, not enough hours in the day.
