This is the first time I've ever used photoshop

There are no goldmines in Equestria.

We have... the Canterlot Gem Mine.

Alicorn Twilight chopped down the last of the truffula trees. Thanks, M.A. Larson!

EDIT: Public service announcement for those who haven't yet learned this the hard way -- GIMP does not have an autosave or a recovery function.
Just lost three hours of pain-in-the-ass GIF manipulation to a GIMP crash

This is the best thread of 2013 so far. :ponynet:

Oh my god, she's actually doing a little log-rolling dance on top of the spinning can. Well done.

This isn't the GIF I wasted three hours on (

), but the world must know:

Alicorn Twilight masterminded the assassination of a benevolent monarch and ushered in an age of famine. Thanks, M.A. Larson!

Are we sending these to Larson? Because we should be.

Kefka and Drunkill sent him links here on Twitter, and he retweeted my entry and said he showed his mom the shelf one.

Biting the hand that feeds.

(If I had any gif skills/time, I'd give the horse wings and make it purple)

But if I can't find an M.A. Larson problem- I'll make an M.A. Larson problem!

Not exactly what I wanted, but close enough. Funny enough, trying to get a screen grab of an error screen I intentionally did, I blue screened! Thanks M.A. Larson!

To add insult to injury, not only did Mario go on a quest to rescue a princess that didn't need rescuing, having to fight multiple changelings along the way, but when he got back, Wario had stolen his castle and turned it into an illegal game development business! Thanks, M.A. Larson!

As much as I love the Mario one for biased reasons, I don't think this can be beat. That Twi barrel roll

I think this could of been a teeny-tiny bit more perfect had you had the changeling exit the screen by jumping. Still, bravo.

It's still perfect regardless.

Amazing. If you're really bored, you need to put Gilda in for the monster.

Yeah, I should have done that but I didn't.

Here's a

one that is stupidly large and artifacted as fuck, I'll probably try something more ambitious* again tomorrow.

I love this one for reasons of bitter validation.

Also, the shelf one by Praetorius is pretty much perfect.

Thank you, this is perfect. That happened to me way to many times when I cheated at played this game.

I was feeling rather angry* before I saw this thread. Thanks M.A. Larson!
