There have always been an assortment of social groups for students to associate themselves with, such as jocks, emo kids, goths, stoners and more. Now you can add one more to the list: Bronies.

Bronies are the male 20-something fans of the television show My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. They are unashamed of their unabashed love for the show and the memes they create. Their presence online has increased to the point that the popular website 4chan dedicated an entire board to the show.

Today was an eye-opening look into the world of bronies. As enlightening as message boards and instant messaging can be, nothing can beat in-person conversations. I went to USF’s Skypad to gather interviews. The room is at the top of the student center and is filled with high-definition 3D televisions for whatever the students want to use them for. It’s also painted an obnoxious neon green, because apparently we like very bright colors.

This week we discuss some very depressing news and one positive tidbit about Smash. Tron Uprising premeirs and what do we think about it? We also continue Misfits and Awake.

Even though I was completely shocked and excited after I received approval, I wasn’t feeling that hook from the show and put aside any work on it until day 17. After PAX East, I was struck with the PAX pox. I may have wasted two days of laying in bed not watching, but I sure wasn’t going to put it off for a third. I picked up right where I left off, right in the middle of the two part premiere.

I proceeded to watch three more episodes, and midway through the third Faith came home. She was furious that I was still watching My Little Pony after she had previously told me not to watch when she was around. My only real defense was that I needed to do the work, but I really just wanted to watch some more of the show. She was not happy, but too tired to complain or do anything about it and lay down beside me and watched the rest of the episode.

What was the last game that truly scared you? Can you even think of one? Horror is a difficult genre to master. Instilling those feelings of dread takes complete creative harmony. Without an eerie soundtrack and equally unsettling set of sound effects a game lacks the atmosphere it needs. In turn, no matter how good the sound design is, if the creatures, be them shambling monstrosities or lurking horrors, aren’t convincingly inhuman (or human depending on the context) you’ll probably end up laughing instead of shuddering. Those, and every other element are the essential pieces, if one doesn’t if the whole puzzle is out of whack.

Basic marketing tactic to get your attention (You're Welcome):

Today we're going to talk about Atlus' Catherine. Why it gets so much negative press and what the game is really about. Enjoy the gorgeous imagery because I'm about to put your mind to work. This game is totally abut sex, but probably not in the way you thought it would be. Ignore everything you've heard about the game before now because I'm going to be the Morpheus to your Neo. Take the blue pill.
