Derpy basically being a stage obstacle? That sounds like an interesting idea. Fluttershy, from the very limited information so far, looks interesting. She looks like she's going to use animals for most of her attacks. I hope they give her that
neck snap combo as a super or special move!
I'm actually occupied by a flash game right now called
Minotaur China Shop. Yes, it is what it sounds like. You're a minotaur that sells wares, and you can go berserk and break things if you get angry enough. Very amusing game, but I think it might need a fast computer.

And as for the posters and lurkers of this thread, MLP news goes around like wildfire. With that being said, I don't think I have to go into detail about the whole
Derpy Controversy that's been going on
non-stop since yesterday. See, it's s**t like this that pisses me the hell off. In fact, out of frustration, I
considered leaving the MLP community for several months, but don't worry 'cause I'm not going to do that. Derpy is
NOT freaking mentally handicapped nor do I find her offensive in any way whatsoever. Trust me when I say I can
RELATE to the plight mentally/physically handicapped people because my younger sister was born with Global Developmental Delay Disorder. Plus, from what I've seen and heard, most handicapped fans of the show have no problem with Derpy. Derpy is just a little clumsy--that's all!
Nothing more. Nothing less. I have no problem with people having varying opinions on the issue, but when a few people are seemingly attempting to pass off their opinion as 100% factual without knowing the
proper context and/or doing the
proper research, then yeah, I have problem with that.
The second issue is the speculation on why Hasbro (and/or Apple) took down
The Last Roundup (the recent episode where Derpy talked) from iTunes, and censored Derpy merchandise from We Love Fine. The truth is, at the moment, nobody knows why such actions took place overnight.
I urge all of you reading this though to wait for Hasbro's side of the story.
Unfounded speculation has already damaged the community enough as it already has for these past 24 hours. That's how the matter I brought up before became an issue, and that's how the tension is spreading throughout the community.
ALL the major MLP fan sites are keeping close tabs on the situation, and we will all definitely hear what Hasbro has to say--if they have anything to say. Speculation gives various reasons ranging from censorship of Derpy to intellectual property issues--
with most leaning toward the latter as of now. Again, until we get an official word from Hasbro, everything is
pure speculation. Sit tight and hope the best for Derpy's future whatever direction Hasbro takes her.

Celebratory new MLP episode post later tonight if time permits. I can't help but feel more frustrated than excited though with all the Derpy BS going on.
