My favorite things!

10 min read


I'm bored, so I figured I would write a post about all my favorite things and give little insights on my personal opinion of each.

Bullet; Blue First up, Game Genres and favorite games that go with it:

(And before I go into this, I am a casual gamer, I focus more on elements in a game that keep me entertained over actual in depth elements that nobody ever notices.)

1. Racing | Need for Speed; Rivals 

- Need for Speed; Rivals is an amazing game, the cars are sleek, the story-line is awesome and the little rush of adrenalin you get from fighting a human player is completely unmatched in any other Need for Speed game I've played before. There is one major downside, however. The multiplayer function on the game is absolutely horrible, whenever I see a human player they're most of the time rubber banding all over the place making it both impossible to run away from them, or fight them because you never know if they will be right next to you or far behind you. Other than the bad server to client communication, Need for Speed; Rivals is a great game in my opinion and I would suggest it to anyone who loves racing games as much as I do.


2. Strategy/RTS | Command and Conquer Series

- Basically every C&C game from Red Alert 2 and up I've loved immensely. Up until C&C4, the campaign's have been stellar and very well written, even double sided! The AI in each game has always been well programmed and never over powered for the settings you choose. The maps have been good in every game and it's always been visually pleasing. ESPECIALLY Red Alert 3, the graphics in the game when it was first released blew me away. My only complaint is how cheesy the campaign is in Command and Conquer 4 is. Take all the over-used elements in video games and action movies, and you have the game's campaign. The campaign is crap, but outside of that, the game is pretty good. 

3. FPS | Team Fortress 2

- Because its, free, has decent graphics, is ridiculously funny, amazingly balanced, Hats!

4. Simulation | SimCity (2013)

- Although it is a hard game for me to get a city working correctly and not always having problems, it is a pretty fun game. The only downside part is that it is an Always Online game, that is soon changing with an offline mode that is being released soon :D



Bullet; Blue Favorite Music Genres:

1. Club/Dance | Vylet Pony - Back to Love (Ponyfirestone Remix)

(The link goes to my Visualizer video for the song, I do not own any element of the song.)

2. Progressive House/Trance 

- I haven't really found a track that I love over all the rest, but I do have a particular love for Shane Collin's Mixes

3. Gospel/Religous | Cinderella


4. Instrumental (Piano) | Christofori's Dream



Bullet; Blue Favorite Artists:

1. CTB-36

- Pretty much every piece that is released by CTB is automatically favorited by me because his style and cuteness in his art is just so amazing! I would definitely tell anyone I meet to watch him! :D

2. Edowaado

- Author and comic artist of the best Doctor Whoove's comic I've ever seen.

3. PixelKitties

- Because she is everything of a vector artist and artist in general, I wish I could be XD

4. Huussii

- Two words: Epic art. 'Nuff Said.



Bullet; Blue Favorite Fanfics:

1. The Flight of the Alicorn; Ponydora Prancypants

- This story is at the top of my list of favorites, mainly because of Rarity being the main character. But also because the story overall is pretty amazing all in itself. A definite must read for any Rarity fans.

2. Shipping and Handling; Pegasus Rescue Brigade

- I loved this story when I read it and I still love it. I'm even 70% finished with the audio play that I'm making for it!

3. Hocus Pocus; Pegasus Rescue Brigade

- The "Magical" sequel to Shipping and Handling, and all I can say is that the cliff hanger's PRB puts in this story are more annoying than stepping on a lego in the middle of the night on your way to the bathroom, and he knows it >.> I would certainly encourage anyone who is interested to read this story (After Shipping and Handling, of course ;))

4. N/A

- I don't read a lot of fan fiction, so I can't really put a fourth on the list.



So now you know a bunch of useless information about me, hope ya'll have a nice day/night :D

Equestria Daily Vector uses

7 min read


So, Pegasus Rescue Brigade has been making me a very happy pony lately by using some of my vectors as post headers. Sadly though, they normally don't credit those, so I figured I would put up a journal with all the posts that have used my vectors so far! :D
All usage of my work, be it custom or pre-made vectors has been verified and approved for usage with Equestria Daily.

Where's the art?!

6 min read


Good question... Where is the art, or vectors to be more accurate. Well... they're in my head but I've recently been working on running up the ranks at work and when I get home after a day of work, all I feel like doing is going on Steam (or Origin) and playing a game the rest of the night.  I've tried working on some vectors on my days off but my mind trails off to video games, then I stop after 10 minutes and start playing video games... 

TL;DR: My content production is not fully dead. But its probably going to be a LOT slower than it was before... which means really really slow.

Death Hug Series!

8 min read


I was doing some vector Re-Coloring of this vector:
and I had a thought: "Wouldn't it be fun if others could make their OC's experience the death hug, or give a death hug?"

So that's what the Death Hug Series is gonna be, I'm going to open up five slots and then the first five who message me with all the required details, will get their characters in a hug of death! WUHAHAHAHAHA! I mean.. erm... a Cuddly hug of extreme snugness ^_^

Please send all requests to me in a note, I will ignore all requests in the comment section of this journal and on my profile.

Requirements: 
Bullet; Blue Two characters must be specified. (Example: Blue Bolt being the hugger and Beryl Farrier being hugged)
Bullet; Blue The character(s) must exist. (Example: If I were to ask someone for a commission of Blue Bolt, I would send them this as a reference for Blue Bolt.)[Shortened version, I'm not making any new vectors that are requested]
Bullet; Blue If choosing two OC's to do the hugging, they must be owned by separate people. (Example: You must hug someone else, I don't want to vector people hugging themselves, it makes me sad Sad dummy)
(Side note, if you only have one OC and don't have anyone to hug, you can request to have your OC Hug (or be hugged) by one of the characters from the show.
Bullet; Blue No Alicorns OC's allowed, I rarely do Alicorns for requests and this stands here as well, sorry to all those who have them.


Now that we got requirements out of the way, here is the slot list to show who's claimed a spot on the huggarific series!

Request Slots

Slot 1
