cards promo

Magic Ride??

cards promo is still next as we only found out about the magic ride today. And so far I don't think anyone has mentioned that testing for the Int server has opened yet for the magic ride.The bits and pieces we've heard have been from the French server. We seem to be finding out about promos 2 in advance lately. Kind of nice, but also gets a little confusing

So the pose is possible^^


I was jsut looking through my photos and thought: hey that´s the same pose
The angle is slightly different

Even in suspension you're going to see one leg slightly in front of/behind the other, such as how the horse image you posted is depicted(who is super pretty by the way!). You can tell by S___'s feet that even by the angle, his legs are right next to each other and seem like mirror images. I've never seen my horses run like that before. Or even canter, because I then wondered if maybe he's cantering but I don't think so either.

Here's a video I found of a horse galloping in slow motion so you can really examine his leg movements. This video is in even slower motion so you can really see his leg placement in suspension(one leg is very much in front of the other), but you only see him in suspension at one point in the clip so you really have to watch it or pause it a dozen times

Since I'm so analytical and curious about everything I checked out some more videos and I saw a barrel horse running in slow motion that came pretty close to Seth.

By close, I mean when his front legs were in Seth's exact position his back legs were touching the ground and the horse wasn't in suspension like Seth(check out his first barrel in particular). His transition from first to second came even closer, though he didn't look like he was running, so much as trying to jump/leap to the next barrel, especially if you compare his actual run to first.
However, the video quality was quite horrid, almost like a VHS to Youtube transfer or something so it was hard to really examine him XD

Then I found a front picture of Secretariat in a race that was pretty darn close but his form is more bunched from using his muscles(and you can tell his front legs aren't in the exact position), whereas Seth just looks a little too....loose?? I guess since he seems to be dragging his front legs.

I dunno. Regardless I had fun comparing a pixel horse to videos of horses in slo-mo! And went waaaay overboard in my analysis as well.

spiders lately? All the other little creatures in those images are adorable except for the creepy spider. Is he supposed to be evil? Even the ants look cute and ants creep me out. I'll take the caterpillar and Monkey in a bee costume for 200 Alex!
