Thumbs up from Valve!!! Portal short is a go!Wow, how did I forget to post here, where all the publicity started, that last week Valve gave my Portal-based animated short film the thumbs-up!
After a whole lot of effort, Claire Hayes (producer) managed to get on the phone with Valve's head of legal, and not only do we now have their express approval to make the film, AND to raise money for the production (!!!), but we even got praise for what we've done so far!
I love the smell of victory in the morning. It smells like napalm.

The life origin of Crystal ThornThorn was born from the crystal empire during the time King sombra ruled over it. his mother was a crystal pony who was pregnant during The dark ages of the Empire. The Father was unknown cause he was found dead from exahustion and slavery. King sombra didn't want any crystal pony doing ANYTHING but being slaves to him. the mother had no choice but to abandon the black crystal foal by hiding him all bundled up in the deep snow of the Crystal empire..

Then right as it happened King Sombra was banished by Luna and celestia and turned into shadow and imprisoned in the arctic ice...when celestia flew off back to the castle.. Luna was going to r

The air vent they had entered, at least, it seemed to be some kind of air vent, was rather low-ceilinged and quite narrow. All of them had to throw themselves on their knees and crawl in single file as fast as they could to escape the hover turrets' gunfire. This was made even more difficult by the fact that they had to drag GLaDOS, an extremely heavy core that seemed to take up most of the space in the narrow vent, along as they went. The regular sentry turrets' bullets could no longer reach them, of course, but they could hear the noises of the hover turrets just behind them, seemingly

The mysteries of Aperature“You just had to play bloody cat and mouse didn’t you?!?! While people were trying to work. Yeah, well now we’re all going to pay the price cause we’re all going to bloody die! Oh yeah brilliant take one more look at your precious human moon. Because it cannot help you now!” he said as the facility came crashing down around him. Why did nothing ever go the way he planned it? When he had been plugged into the Chassis his thoughts had cleared and the puzzle pieces had all fallen into place. He had realized at once that the plan he had made to get him and Chell out of Aperture had been stupid and full of flaws. He had also realized that it would never have worked and they had gotten where they were on pure luck and Chell’s intelligence. WOOOOOOSH! A blue streak came out of the portal gun and went through the hole in the ceiling. Well that was stu- mid though he realized that she wasn’t just hoping for a portalable surface to hit she had aim

***Do yourself a favor and don't ruin the ending!***

Chell stared at the door, the sound of it's shutting still ringing in her ears. In a daze, she turned to take in her surroundings, squinting in the bright sunlight that seemed to reflect directly into her eyes from every angle. All she could see around her was miles and miles of long, tall, golden grass, moving with the wind that she just now had noticed was blowing across her face. Grass, grass, grass... oh yes, and the Cube. Chell tore her eyes away from the sheer nothing that expanded around her and crouched nest to the Aperture Science Weight

For You Time Waits

I find my self pouring over your words again
Finding myself having to peel my eyes off your page
I feel like "They" should all know your work
But it was only a few select souls who could ever understand it
One I wish she would explode into a million pieces
She was so very wrong in everything she did
And the other's heart is broken and I wish I could free those words
Those words only you could pull from her
... before she implodes from creative overload
And me who secretly admired you
And now am tormented by this chain of events
But being were you are....
I guess you understand more than I
And I'm sure you would say to me "Ever

GiveYou think you cant even try
tho when it's all is lost by
and yet you don't know why
still the whole world can hear your cry

Fast Friends pt. 3Fast Friends Ch. 3 – Lunch

It was lunch time and Chell walked into the cafeteria with her lunch and blanket. She looked around for a place to sit when she saw Curiosity waving and motioning for her to sit down. Chell nodded and walked over to her and sat across from the happy girl.

"Hey there Chell! You can sit with us!"

Curiosity sat next to a kid with bleached blonde hair, red and white eyes, and had a walkie-talkie toy with a huge antenna sticking up on his belt. "Oh I'm sorry, Chell this is Turret, he's in one of the other classes in the school. Turret looked up at Chell and smiled.

"How come you're in a separate class than ours?

HOW TO ADD A LINK OR AVATARHow can I make a link to Strong Badia? Can I make a link that uses StrongBadia's avatar as the link?
There are a few formats you can use: either a text link of the StrongBadia, or displaying our avatar.
:iconstrongbadia: will display the club's avatar as a link on your page, like this: :iconstrongbadia:.
:devstrongbadia: will give you the members name as a link, like this: #strongbadia
Why can't I get the StrongBadia avatar to work in my signature?
The avatars have been disabled for everyone in the signatures, you will have to use the :devstrongbadia: option to link the club to your friends. People used to fill signatures with numerous avatars causing the page to load slower, especially in the forums, which is why they were removed from the service.

A Nation Divided, Ch I: TurbulenceShe soared up, up past the clouds, closed her eyes, and rolled back in the air. She began to plummet, bursting through the thick layer of puffy clouds, feeling the cool moisture race across her mane and fur, then flicking off the end of her tail as she rocketed toward the ground. Her eyes snapped open and she somersaulted, kicking off a low cloud to shoot forward across the low skies above Ponyville. There was little activity throughout most of the town, as it was a bit before 6:00 am and most ponies were probably either still asleep or just waking up. Typically Rainbow Dash would be among them, but not today. She loved early morning flights,

GirlThere will always be that girl.
The girl that's in smart classes
But always gets bad grades,
The girl who cries herself to sleep at night
But never sheds a tear,
The girl who has no friends
But is always being social,
The girl who has every reason to be sad
But walks around with a smile on her face,
The girl who slits her wrists everyday
But she bleeds just like everyone else.

This test aria[Wheatley]
This test is going to be perfect,
The kind of test of which I dreamed since I was small,
Every subject will gather 'round, see I look lovely in my chasis,
What they don't know is that I'm going to kill them all

[GLaDOS]
This day was going to be perfect,
The kind of day of which I dreamed since I was small,
But instead of testing, with all the test subjects
The testing Procedure; will not go well at all

[Wheatley]
I could care less about the test,
I will fake any cake,
Subjects, well I'll be lying when I say,
That through any kind of protocol, I'll want you and companion cube to be together,
The truth is that I don't

Gift: From Wheatley, To Abbi -Testin' For Me-Your on the radio with GLaDOS, she's upset.
She's goin' off about some testing that you did.
She doesn't, get your talent like I do...
In cryo sleep, it's a typical Friday night
I'm using the kind of robot hacking she doesn't like
She'll never, be your sphere like I am...

She an A.I
I'm just really round
She's head of Aperture
And I'm just a sphere
I'm dreamin' 'bout the day,
When you stop testin' and find
That what your, lookin' for, has been here the whole time!

If you could see that I'm the one that won't hurt you,
Been hangin here all along,
So why can't you see-e-e,
you should be testin' for me...

So there's a cameo for a certain megalomaniacal life form/operating system in my Portal short, Companionship, and wouldn't you know it? Ellen muthafrakkin McLain is confirmed to voice the scene!

(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻ YEEEEEAAAAAHHHHH!!!

This has been an amazing week of positive turns for Companionship, and I think we might even manage to launch our Kickstarter next week like we've been planning!

Unless the other shoe drops. *gasp*
