Moral of the Story - Triple Threat

On today's video, we discuss what it takes to be a good leader and introduce the basics of how to practice and balance the skills it takes to be a good leader.  With Thorax and Ember, I believe we're given a good lens of the two most common types of people to become leaders and the gaps in their respective leadership skills.  They also show how each others' styles can complement each other when put in practice together and ultimately benefit everyone.  

The one major thin...

Brony Debates - Old vs. New: Good and Evil (ft. Silver Quill, Cordero, DJ Skywalker, & Hariman)

What are the odds of getting three "old versus new" style debate topics in a row?  In the unintentional continuation of this theme, Silver Quill wanted to know if the classic comic book showings of morality still hold up in the present day.  This of course, begs the question of what has changed?  So we brought him on along with Cordero, DJ and Hariman to talk about it.  Be sure to let us know what you think.

Friday Night Fights - Among Us (ft. Canterlot Academy)

MrSonic31 got to pick the game and he wanted as many people as possible from the server to join in Among Us.  We ended up with EasyModeGamer, DJ Skywalker, Ridge the Hedgehog, Angel of Speed, Archer, Chuck, and Princess Heather Blossom.

Brony Debates - Old vs. New Entertainment Standards (ft. DJ, Hariman & Princess Heather Blossom)

In a sequel of sorts to the previous debate, Princess Heather Blossom wanted to know if our culture's standards for entertainment as a whole have changed between the past and now.  Joining us for the debate is DJ Skywalker, Hariman and Heather herself.   Be sure to let us know what you think.

A Buck to the Face - Triple Threat

Whole Grain and Brawny travel to Ponyville to deliver supplies for the Dragon Lord's welcome.  Given some free time, Brawny gets a chance to watch the hijinks unfold and learn a little more about Isshin Ryu along the way.  

The thing that stuck out to me the most about this episode was how there didn't seem to be a voice of reason.  I could've understood it a little better if Twilight was absent and Starlight was feeding into Spike's anxieties regarding Thorax and Ember h...

Friday Night Fights - Jackbox (ft. Dr. Wolf & Canterlot Academy)

GoldenMicrophone got a chance to pick the game for this week.  So we opened up an invitation for Jackbox to the Canterlot Academy discord server.  Unfortunately, Golden couldn't make it.  But we'll still have fun for him.  And we're grateful that Dr. Wolf was able to join us.

Brony Debates - Old vs. New Female Characters (ft. PonyCordero, Princess Heather Blossom & Alisia)

Alisia had a great last-minute suggestion tonight to compare the writing styles of female cartoon characters between the 1980's and present day.  How have the writing styles changed, if at all, and is it better or worse?  PonyCordero and Princess Heather Blossom join in with their perspectives as well.  Let's find out.  Be sure to let us know what you think.

A Buck to the Face - Actions Have Consequences (filler)

When we last left off with Brawny, he was recovering from a bit of a mental breakdown.  But just as that moment passed, now we must deal with the fallout of what transpired.

Friday Night Fight - Multiversus (ft. InvisiBrony, Angel of Speed, and DJ Skywalker)

I've never seen InvisiBrony so insistent on a game before.  He's been nagging me about this one all week.  So when everyone else passed their turn to pick the game, we got a small group together to try out Multiversus for the night.  I only managed to get about fifteen minutes of practice in the night before.  This should be fun.

AND THEN HE DIDN'T EVEN SHOW UP!!!

Brony Debates - How To Make Good Sequels (ft. Cruizer, DJ, Neo & Angel)

Story Edge wanted us to talk about what sort of pressures sequels are under to be good.  How do you follow up on something well-loved with a sequel or a spiritual successor?  We've talked about sequels on this show in the past.  But I don't believe we've ever given them their own dedicated stream.  And although he wasn't able to make the panel tonight, I brought on Cruizer, Angel of Speed, DJ Skywalker and Neo Anton to talk about it.  Be sure to let us know what you t...

Friday Night Fights - Super Animal Royale (ft. CantoAcrylicVA, EmeraldSpencer & ChucklyFun)

This week, CantoAcrylicVA chose Super Animal Royale for us to play.  EmeraldSpencer and ChucklyFun joined in.

Brony Debates - Freestyle Omnibus (ft. Cruizer, Sasha Lace & Hariman)

I hate it when this happens.  I had a plan for this stream weeks ago and then the guest of honor got sick and had to postpone that topic.  So I reached out to Twitter and Discord for suggestions.  I got a few suggestions that would make great debates if I had the time to prepare and the right people on.  That's not the case for something so short notice.  So instead, Cruizer and I are tackling all the other suggestions that we weren't sure we could pull a full debate ...

Friday Night Fights - Left 4 Dead 2 (ft. Chuck, Princess Heather Blossom & CantoAcrylicVA)

This week, Chuck got to pick the game.  And he wanted to get in a round of Left 4 Dead 2 with us.  So I brought on the person I know best who absolutely lives and loves this game - Princess Heather Blossom.  Then I opened it up to the server and got CantoAcrylicVA to join.  Full disclosure - I suck at this game.

Brony Debates - Can Reboots Be Good? (ft. Cruizer, DJ Skywalker, Silver Quill & Heather Blossom)

On the previous debate, I asked the question of if new elements can be inserted into reboots/continuations without changing what it is that fans loved about the original?  But that's a multi-faceted question.  Because if you keep everything the same, then why bother making anything new in the first place?  But if you change it too much or in the wrong way, you'll lose what made the original special.  Is there a balance?  Or perhaps it's just fandom that makes these is...

The Rap Sheet

Actions have consequences.  Especially if it’s a fandom-frustration-plus-PTSD-fueled rage bender across Equestria.  Perhaps moon banishment would’ve been a better outcome?

Friday Night Fights - Jackbox (ft. Cruizer & Canterlot Academy)

Cruizer wanted to play some Jackbox.  We asked the Canterlot Academy discord server to join us and ended up with DJ Skywalker, Alden, Angel of Speed, Hariman, MrSonic31 and Willyizin.  This should be a great game.

Brony Debates - Is Nostalgia Being Weaponized? (ft. PonyCordero, Cruizer, Wil, & Angel)

Willyizin wanted to know if peoples' nostalgia for classic franchises was being weaponized to insert modern politics.  So we brought on Angel of Speed, Cordero and Cruizer to talk about it with us.  Is it really happening?  If so, how prevalent is it?  And is it really a problem?  Be sure to let us know what you think.

Friday Night Fights - The Stanley Parable (pt.2) (ft. Billy)

It was Billy's turn to pick the game for this week and he wanted to see me play "The Stanley Parable."  As of writing this before the stream, I'm not sure what I can pull out of a second playthrough of this game.  But we'll see what we can do.

Updates and Contacts

Greetings everyone,

Let's start with the update.

The last few months have been tough.  I've needed to do another round of very expensive repairs on my house.  And at least one emergency seems to pop up a week.  But after a few months of working at them, I'm starting to get a handle on it.  I've also managed to set up a schedule where I should be able to release some form of content (besides a livestream) bi-weekly.

With any luck, we'll have some new video...

Brony Debates - Ethics of Collecting (ft. Cruizer, Cordero, DJ & Irving Santiago)

https://ultraconofsouthflorida.com/

Here's a topic that Concert Cruizer is very passionate about and really wanted to bring to everyone's attention.  We're going to ask questions like when does collecting become a problem?  Are personalized autographs worth less?  Is it okay to sell reproduction games?   As for myself, I have absolutely no knowledge of this topic.  So I'l...

Friday Night Fights - Quiplash (ft. Canterlot Academy)

Quiplash is one of my favorite games to play open to the server.  This time we got Kyle (who picked the game), Zeragamba, EasyModeGamer, Morningstar, StoryEdge, Sofia, and Ridge the Hedgehog to join in.  this should be fun.

Brony Debates - Make Your Mark (ft. Silver Quill)

I had a plan initially.  That fell through.  So I had to scramble.  Thankfully, I was reminded that G5's "Make Your Mark" aired today and Silver Quill had some time to talk about it with me.  So I watched it really quick between work and the stream.  Be sure to let us know what you think.

Bowling Brawl

Based on a true story.

Brawny needs to get better about letting his guard down during an active confrontation.  Especially with @eliyora.  But @supergeekie and @princessheatherblossom definitely share the blame for putting her up to it.

Friday Night Fights - Sonic 06 (ft. Angel of Speed & Ridge the Hedgehog)

Angel of Speed wanted to see me try out Sonic 06 through a fan project.  We brought along Ridge the Hedgehog, who is quite possibly the biggest Sonic fan in the Canterlot Academy server.  I used to make jokes about this being the best game ever just to get a rise out of other gamers in the room.  But this is yet another one of those games that I've never actually tried before.  This should be interesting.

Brony Debates - Why the Pre-G4 Hate? (ft. Lightning Bliss, SazerLite & Calbeck)

Knife's vet bills:   https://www.gofundme.com/manage/knifes-vet-bills

This is a very old request I got from SazerLite.  But it's a topic I've wanted to address when the time was right.  For that, I needed Lightning Bliss and Calbeck, who both have much more experience with previous generations than I do.  This is certainly something I've seen happen.  But is it warrante...

Friday Night Fights - Sunless Sea (ft. Zap4th)

This week it was Zap4th's turn to pick the game and he opted we try something new.  Sunless Sea is yet another one I've never heard of before.  Let's see how it goes.

Friday Night Fights - Friday Night Funkin' (ft. Princess Heather Blossom)

It's pretty well understood that I suck at video games in general.  My absolute worst genre of games is rhythm games.  I guess that's why Heather thought it was a good idea to make me try Friday Night Funkin'.

Brony Debates - Pros & Cons of Fan Theories (ft. DJ, Angel of Speed & The Nameless One)

Long time fan Angel of Speed had a great suggestion on the effects that fan theories can have.  We brought on the game streamer, The Nameless One to help test our own theories on the issue.  Be sure to let us know what you think.  

The Nameless One's channel - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDgz0UoL1pTA-7ZFXv3tBzg

Brony Debates - Fair Wages (ft. Hariman & Morningstar)

There was a heated debate in the symposium of Canterlot Academy a while ago.  And QFlash wanted to know what it would be like to have a stream dedicated to the topic.  A while later, we're finally getting to it.  Be sure to let us know what you think.
