    Communist Post #1

    Greetings, dear Comrades of the Pony's republic of Everypony! It is with great pleasure that I announce to you the first Communist Post of many to come! Our great leader, Comrade General Tyro, has bestowed upon me the duty to bring you all of the recent news from the communist homefront, as well as interesting news relevant to our cause! Without further ado, I'd like to talk to you ab- What do you mean, that's not what you said? Community Post, not Communist? Ah... that actually makes a lot more sense. And here I thought you finally decided to see things from my side...

    Ahum.. Yes, my apologies for that. Let's pretend it never happened, shall we?

    Community Post #103 - I wonder if asking Rainy to do this was a good idea after all edition.

    That's right, fillies and gentlecolts! It's time for another community post, this time from your's truly, Rainy. It would seem we had a little bit of a miscommunication as to the actual nature of the work I would be doing, and as such I'd prepared a grand piece of propaganda state regulated news, to indoctrinate entertain you all! We even had a recording of the Anthem and set event dates for marches planned!

    Instead of that planned post, have the following, which I'm sure you'll appreciate just as much.

    ~ Site News

    Good news for all of the big fans of our radio, we're cranking out more tunes than ever! We're very pleased to bring you the news of even more great brony music to play over our airwaves, to be requested to our DJs at your whims. The following songs have been added to the Shoutcast library:

    I, for one, am looking forwards to hearing them soon, and all of the other great songs we have at our disposal. Make sure to check it out if you haven't yet at the Radio tab at the top of the page! If you have, then make sure to check it out anyways, as we're always adding to it!


    In other news, there have been several alterations to the EPRP system. We can thank Legion for his hard work, as well as everyone involved in participating in both creating and using this awesome system.

    The following changes have been made:

    That's all the news for now, I'm afraid. Make sure to stay tuned for the next community post, as I'm sure there'll be plenty more by the time it comes out!

    ~ Recommended Reading

    We have quite a few exciting new things popping up on the site, and we're here to make sure that those few extra special things get a mention every week, so you won't have to look for them! That's right, we're doing your work for you. We're that helpful!

    - Tyro The Fox, our resident fox and friend, has released a new review that's sure to make some people think back on the old days! In this exciting new post, he tackles something that gets us all lost in nostalgia, the Pokemon Trading Card Game! As we're used to of him by now, this review includes a lot of details about the game itself, alongside his witty humor and several personal additions. If this sparks your interest, or has reignited that spark of childish wonder inside of you once more, make sure to give it a read right here!

    - Dodo1234 has decided to take it upon himself to scavenge the deepest, oldest parts of the internet, bringing us back something we should all take a look at. His new blog entry, following a post about great SNES games that sadly never saw the light of release, focuses on something quite the opposite. This time around, we'll take a look at a few games that were released, but probably shouldn't have been. Good humor, combined with some brutal honesty and showcasing games that, in all honesty, probably are forgotten about for a good reason, make a must read for any fan of the older era of gaming, or just games in general! You can read his post here, and check out the rest of his blog for other great posts.

    - Tyro The Fox sure has been busy lately! Yet another review by our fluffy friend, shining some light on an all time favourite and classic Nintendo 64 game, Lylat Wars! What's that, never heard of it? Why not read the blog to find out why! It'll shine some light on the interesting history the game has, and offers you a view into the mechanics and gameplay you might have missed out on if you haven't played it yourself. I'm sure Tyro deserves a break after writing two reviews for us in such a short time, so why not give him a little break as you check out his work here.

    - Ridley Wolf, decided to share a video with us, which, as a Dutchman myself, makes me ashamed to see that it's in fact from my country. That's right folks, some weirdness from Europe as he's showing us a real commercial from around these parts, which includes ponies. The title 'Why Europe, why?' seems very appropriate. Check it out right here, in case you missed the link before.

    - Bounty has decided to share with us his new, ambitious project, which probably makes for my personal favourite of these recommendations. Using nothing but a Raspberry Pi and his own dedication and willpower, he's decided to try and convert it into a real-life PipBoy! As an avid Fallout fan, I'm really excited to see where he can take this project, and to follow his steps through the development of it. I wish you good luck with it, and I hope you won't run into any problems you can't solve! Check out what he's done so far, and the current development roadmap right here!




    Now, I'm afraid that's all for this post. I can already hear heavy boots approaching the bunker I'm writing this from, ready to drag me into interrogation about my definite possible attempts to convert this site to a communist realm. It seems the only thing red about Tyro the fox, is his fur. To all of you that made it this far without falling asleep or closing out, I wish you all a great day (or night, depending on the time you read this at), and I'm looking forwards to the next one!

    Rainy out.

    Ridley (and me) are the only American people who have commented on this post. Even the OP isn't American.
    I'm not sure where you're getting your facts from.

    No, no it isn't. North America is a continent. South America is a continent. The Americas are a pair of continents. And this discussion is entirely irrelevant because this is a diverse community with members from pretty much every corner of the world. Why are we having this discussion again?

    No, America is a country.
    It is also called the U.S., the U.S.A., the U.S.of A., the United States, the United States of America, 'Merica, 'Murica, 'Murrica, The Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave, and The Best Damn Country in the World.

    As Minter said, North America and South America are the continents.

    movie called Face/Off, starring Nicolas Cage and John Travolta. Two of the most over-the-top actors ever seen in a movie, directed by one of the most over-the-top movie directors ever, all in one over-the-top movie.

    Not having seen this movie is considered a crime in many countries. ::S:
