I wonder if the MLP: FiM voice actors/actresses would possibly be up for doing some voice work in MWO?

I would shoot everything in the face. I would. I WOULD DO IT. I don't mind if people put their pony bullcrap where I can't see it, but when I do see it, I'll let them know I do not approve of a show intended for 3-8 year old girls. I'm aware that I didn't HAVE to click on this link, nobody FORCED me to come here, but seeing so many freakin rainbow sigs and ones like the above "Clan Rainbow Dash" make me thouroughly irritated. Don't ruin my awesome image of Battletech by throwing rainbow pony ***** everywhere.

You do know they do other voices besides MLP, right? Hell almost all of them were in the english dub of Black Lagoon(not a 3-8 year old girl show).

I am aware of this, but there are plenty of voice actors out there, and if there is a chance of my mech sounding like a pony, however small this chance may be, I WILL NOT TAKE IT.

[Kristof Bowen]

Well I hate to break it to you, but probably a lot of things you like might have the VA of a pony at some point.

[Damocles]

I can't say much for MLP but I know what I hate,

"Bros" as I have known them:

You seem upset, take a break and cool down before you blow a gasket.

Now, let me point you in the direction of the user control panel. In this panel you might find a tab titled "Ignore Preferences". Click that. From there, you might even see a checkbox that says "Ignore all signatures when reading topics."

Honestly, ponies have been an entertaining fad for me. I'm more amused by the relation it has to so many men of my age group (some friends in RL included) than the actual show itself.

But I mean seriously, what the hell, when in Rome...

It's appealing in its simplicity. Friendship is Magic. Magical ponies being friends and doing crazy/stupid things and walking away better friends in the end. No complex theme, no gore, and no subliminal advertisement (...except for the pony products of course).

Seriously, in this day and age where the f-bomb is dropped in every other show (or substituted for another word when we all know what they're really saying) its a refreshing breather.

And that's all I have to say about that.

Problem is, in 4-5 years, you will start watching soap operas, then Barbie and then you....

I see that you like to paint with very wide brushes there... What would be wrong with watching soap opera's btw?

The nature of multi threaded scripted shows have been around for ages (just FYI soaps operas are going the way side of the dinosaurs since not many people watched them during the day any more and are easily replace by cheaper reality shows http://theweek.com/a...bout-television )

Did you watch the newer remake of Battlestar Galactica? That was a space opera with ship to ship space battle with humanity facing all sorts of dangers while fighting off the Cylongs, but lets face it, the plot was about as soap opera as you can get. Serious, it had the "but there are twins or MORE", "oh Noes I have Amnesia!", and of course the "YES IT IS YOUR BABY!.. maybe".

Personally, I have bigger issues with reality shows that glorify stupid people (rich or not) like Jersey Shore or the multitude of Kardasian shows as those are NOT script so they don't have the respectable line of "Well, that's not real. I don't really act like that."

Do you have an issue with cooking shows as well? You know, cause cooking is what your mom and girls do? Oh wait, there are tons of chefs that are male, and if you really do research you'll find that the vast majority of mega celebrity chefs are men.

Just my opinion, but maybe you should put away the pre-conceptions about painting whole swaths of the population based on their interests.

I'll leave that there with a pic of a pony Napoleon on a pony and see if anyone gets the subtext.

I was going to comment on the guy with terrible spelling complaining about ponies being EVERY were with his very first (and at this time only) post in this forum, but that was vetoed by the mental image of Revi Two-Hand with Spitfires cuti-mark, Benny hiding a high end hacking rig in the back room of Sugarcube Corner, and Roberta daring Hansel to dress up in a frilly pink froo-froo dress (not that he wouldn't if it weren't for the pink).

Seriously, these are top notch actors and actresses, celebrated throughout nerd-dom for their skill and range. I mean Twilight Sparkle's Tara Strong also voices Harley Quinn in Arkham City, and you would be unable to tell if bronies hadn't posted it everywhere. Being outraged because voice talent who worked on FiM could potentially work on MWO is frankly a disservice to the actors and actresses involved, as well as to the MWO dev team as your also implying that they would be silly enough to let characters in a serious business game sound like a bunch of candy colored ponies (I abuse that term, but it works so well and is straight from Faust). Grow up and accept that people with desirable skillsets have done work you may not agree with or can't personally accept.

Afterall, this is being made by the guys responsable for DN Forever

Pony.

I actualy like the pony voice actors and i would like to hear some in MW:O(maybe in a cameo role). They got John de Lancie for Discord so why shouldnt it be possible to get some MLP actors for MW:O.

Another good voice actor would be Patrick Stewart.(he can speak anything!).

And for all the haters:I think you woulndt even know that they are MLP voice actors when you hear them.

Don't forget James Earl Jones. Everything is better when he's talking.

If we're going to talk about dream voice actors, I want William Shatner.

I dont hate pony's or bronys or any of that, but im kind of tired of pony's being EVERY ware. I was just hopping this could be one place i could go to get away from a bunch of mlp and pony's and all that. Again i have nothing agents them, I'd rather just be able to play without the constant pony spam that I get on all my other games.

Clicks on the only pony related thread.

Complains about not being able to get away from pony spam.

Agreed. I can see it now...

Best part is, there's even a Khan...well, several of them, actually.

Based off what I've seen and such I'm gonna that "bronies" are like Word of Blake fanatics. They're everywhere and usually not welcomed. Now for my personal message to all Bronies and such: I don't care what you do. Just stay away from MY Mech.

Yeah Tara Strong is a legend in voice acting.

Most people on this entire website have probably either watched something she has been in or played something she has been in.

Remember the voice acting community is a pretty close nit group.

Did somebody edit a read first post on the forum to say, "You must go reply on the pony thread, whether for or against it, before continuing on the MWO forum?"

I love how each person either wants/needs to give their 2 cents for a topic they don't care about anyway.
