As for what ponies would fit which perks best, I'm thinking:
Rainbow Dash - Berserker
Applejack - Support
Twilight - Commando
Spike - Firebug
Pinkie Pie - Demolitions
Rarity - Sharpshooter
Fluttershy - Medic

Oh God, I thought the exact same thing! Then again it's not that surprising considering how each character matches with a certain perk so nicely.

OP should've mentioned MLP in the title to make it clear this is about ponies and not for flame wars. Thankfully, both sides are polite enough not to have started one yet.

I hope you guys don't mind singing! :D
Spoiler!

I read each part with its respective pony's voice. I don't know how, but every song in the show thus far has been amazing, and both of your KF remixes are awesome Timur. ;)

Bog off, you ******!

On-topic:
Ah, I love that pic, here's the artist if anyone's interested btw: [url]http://etonyoc.deviantart.com/[/URL]
He has some more KF+MLP crossover art, and he's planning to do the rest of the specimens too, including the Pat. He also has made an actual mod for the game that replaces some of the character's portrait pics and descriptions: [url]http://etonyoc.deviantart.com/art/Pony-Portrait-Pack-273734246?q=gallery%3Aetonyoc%2F28678930&qo=0[/URL]
I hope this post isn't considered spam, I just saw the general positive response this got and thought I would share this :D

Wow how did I not see this post until now? I was wondering who the artist was, thank you. I'll credit him in the OP now.

It's the phenomenon surrounding the cartoon show "My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic". It's a show primarily marketed at girls, but it has a surprisingly significant number of male followers as well.

I personally haven't watched more than a few minutes here or there, but from what I saw the animation is well done and the dialogue is clever and interesting (at least as far a G-rated show is allowed to go, of course). Don't know too much about the actual characters, but they didn't seem dull.


I can actually understand why it has a male following. Shows marketed towards young boys are, well, action action action action. Any character development is secondary to the action action action action.

A girl's show has to revolve more around relationships and development, since I don't think the average girl is attracted to STUFFBLOWINGUP. And then you'll have guys who want to take a break from action action action action and STUFFBLOWINGUP and see some cleverdialogue and well-written character development.


Why the frigging hell did I examine this so closely.

I'm inclined to agree. Most of the shows I watch are pretty violent and more serious (Breaking Bad, Sons of Anarcy, Justified, Dexter, Spartacus, etc.). MLP does bring a nice change of pace, it's a hilarious and cute show.

There is one exception that comes to mind though. Avatar: The Last Airbender is considered to be a boys show but it had some of the best character development I've ever seen, and possibly the best character development in any show ever.

I haven't tried the mod yet, but for any client side mod of any game no one will see it but you unless people are running the same mod.

I would assume the thing is server-side, though, that would make the most sense

also, because medics are awesome:

Wut. They showed a necksnap--albeit a cartoon one done on a bear--on live TV?

I can't decide whether I'm awed or shocked.

The bear was not harmed in the making of that scene. He had a stiff neck and back and she was giving him a massage. It cuts off right before the bear gives a sigh of relief.

Pinkie Pie Scrake... we're all doomed.

I approve so much of Pinkie Scrake.

However, it should be remembered that they sort of snuck that in; there is a pause where I thought she'd just gone and killed a bear. It isn't until after Twi runs away that it shows exactly what happened, so in a way, you both are right. :p

I can't say I wouldn't enjoy slaughtering pony zeds.

I think that is something people from all sides can agree on.

Oh, and I found a youtube parody filled with so many wonders, by the way:
