Coming to you live from deep within Princess Celestia's sugar mines, I have somehow also been placed in charge of the news for tonight. At least that means the return of Lyra! Now if you'll excuse me I'm being whipped by the overseer, so instead of being witty and charming let's just dive right into tonight's headlines:
Pro-gamming Pony Comparisons Sighted. Parents don't react at all.
Somepony over at the Starcraft pro-gamming site TeamLiquid made a writeup matching up the programmers of that community with various ponies, most of which are some combination of little and mine. It's kind of cute. If you're familiar with this community or just want to see a brony being geeky, check it out here.
Drinks On Da House Deluxe Edition to be released June 25th, filly hospitalized in ill-advised attempt at holding breath in anticipation
Musical talent Silvahound has announced a planned release for an updated version of his album, Drinks on Da House, a collection of pony inspired music you can get drunk to. 5 additional tracks will be added to the album on the 25th, but in the meantime scope it out and see if it's your thing on his bandcamp page.Pinkie Pie declares: Rainbow Dash birthday cake is "Totally delish!"
Birthdays were had, bronies were involved, cakes were consumed, and there were totally ponies. Reports are limited at this moment, but hey look at that cake isn't it cool?Escapist reports violence in the streets of Ponyville!
Two days ago we reported on the pre-alpha demo of the upcoming My Little Pony: Fighting is Magic game currently in the works. And now those slowpokes at The Escapist have caught up to the scoop as well. It should be some wonderful press for what looks to be a really promising and cool game, and I hope the extra publicity helps coax it out a little sooner. Some arguments regarding ponies and the word "best" need to be settled, and sometimes the only way to do that is in the ring.
Forever Alone guy threatens to cry that much harder if ponies don't stop being popular
Evidently Ponies have closed the gap between themselves and the top spot on Know Your Meme views to less than 100,000. The race is on to 2 million views is on. Who will win? This reporter for one welcomes her new pony overlords.
Google Reports: The word 'counfound' now universally applied to ponies
Hell is other ponies, and also bullets
The developer of a My Little Pony bullet hell game just recently set up a blog to centralize his update announcements and gather feedback. If you like danmaku (and if you don't what's wrong with you?), head on over and lend a hoof to the cause of Bullet Hell Ponies.
Summer Sun Celebration Stolen! S-phonemes spreading!
Over at Ponychan, Moony and the Pinky Poll crew put together a "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" style story in honor of the Summer Sun Celebration. So now you can have some story with your news and read while you read. Fantastic!

Halolz converts to pony. Luna pictures once again roam free
The headline pretty much covers this one. See? Banished to the moon and stuff. At least I'll have company. Or, wait. I'm in the sugar mines this time. Whatever, they're all cold and full of white dust.
Video Voting Contest Announced! Reporter runs out of clever headlines!
To be perfectly honest I don't have the slightest idea what this is about, but maybe it's significant to you. Go... vote on what the best pony video is, or something. Learn about it over here. This is interminably lazy reporting. I'm going to get flogged for this.
Ponies Profess Insiatiable Lust for Roleplaying. Additional forums open to slake thirst
We seem to have gained yet another place to get your pony RP on. Roleplay of Equestria is new and looking for members to help kickstart things. Dive in, have fun, be a pony! It's all the rage.
Gametracker Reports: Friendship is Magic #1 TF2 Server. Sandviches and acronyms prepared in celebration
Source. It seems these days that everywhere you go, there are ponies dominating it. Move over 4chan, the internet has a new face. I guess this means it has a face for the first time, actually. Your face when your face is ponies. I need to not talk anymore, I'm so sorry.
"The Ponies" Project Updates. Photographs of street crossing annoy the elderly
A full scale Beatles pony project is rapidly picking up steam, having gained a dedicated youtube page and forums to help organize efforts. They're looking for help with making PMVs, fanart, and album cover art. Beatles enthusiasts, now is you chance to shine.

Customized Pinkie Pie being auctioned. Proceeds to help little girl.
The links I'm handing you now lay out the situation better than I can in any short amount of. Bottom line: buy a Pinkie, help a mom and child stay together.

VastaKustutaMFW I'm a pony now. /)^3^(\
VastaKustutaWoo! Phoe roundup! :3
VastaKustutaDo you think we can really take over the net? o.o?
CAN WE DO IT?!
Programmers != Pro gamers
VastaKustutaI got a bit confused when you mentioned programmers with TeamLiquid.
>Sethisto takes over ATG so Phoe can sleep
VastaKustuta>Phoe placed in charge of the Nightly Roundup, posted an hour later

I demand ye takeith the whip and force him to sleep FOR ONCE!
VastaKustutaI am a part of that TF2 server and I have to say its great. <3

@Display Name
VastaKustutaYaah, it kinda didn't work out so well.
Wait, I thought you were sleeping. Is Seth making things up again?
VastaKustuta@Thattagen
VastaKustutaSleep was the plan. I wound up feeling guilty and took on extra work to make up for it. I felt so lazy!
All that is needed is for Day9 to do a Rarity impression on his show and Starcraft2 will have completely fallen to the might of Equestria.
VastaKustutaNot that I don't empathize with the originator of the last post, but she plans on making $2500 by selling permed Pinkies? Looks awesome though, GL.
VastaKustutaSoon ponies become so popular that mlp will become [GASP] mainstream! BWHAHAHAHAH!
VastaKustutabut seriously every day I am supprised at how fast this fandom is growing. I just can't stop wondering how big it can get.
Well, Google has not yet been wrong much. Right?
VastaKustutaConfound... yea, you know the rest ;)
We got mentioned on a radio show:
VastaKustutahttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QWgnBjgDLKw&t=12m54s
Apparently 4Chan was trolling the host who is generally just an angry guy and he got reeeeeal mad and when someone with a supporting Brony name tweeted about his show he acted like it was degrading to his character that he would be "liked" by Bronies.
The Permed Pinkie Poster doesn't look like she's trying to raise all $2500 -- there's a lot of different auctions on the page. It looks like just a single pony being auctioned for what she can get to add to the pot.
VastaKustutaSounds like a good idea to me. That hair is cool!

I like the role reversal personally. You each have a unique way of presenting information, so I think it's cool to see you stepping outside your normal bounds to give us a fresh take on events.
>Halolz converts to Pony
VastaKustutaTo the point that the Halolz Forums and Skype Chats have separate MLP Sections... Specifically, the Halolz Skype Chat got divided (There's a main chat, and a MANE CHAT) and there's an MLP thread in the forums, where all is good until the trolls come in.
The more you know~
Damn, nightly roundup at 2am? That's really early for you Seth
VastaKustutaWow... Day[9] As Rarity? With this transition to Rarity as my personal favorite I have now gone through every single pony in that spot.
VastaKustutaNot only will ponies take over the internet but the whole world! its only a matter of time.
VastaKustutaI have friends that go on Halolz to get away from me and my pony things. Today is going to be a really big shock for them.
VastaKustutaWhew~ I just finished reciting that whole Grinch/MLP parody. By god was that good!
VastaKustutaA few bad bits where they really stretched the rhymes, but overall very nice. Now we just need a group to record a reading of it.
*just sees the fighting game footage*
VastaKustutao_____o *SQUEEE!!* I didn't know they had a video out! That looks amazing!
No-one's bid on the Pinkie Pie yet except for me :(
VastaKustutaIdrA vs. Rainbow Dash xD
VastaKustutaHe forgot that RD hates losing and IdrA...
Well everybody who knows him knows what i'm talking about...
We're slowly spreading
VastaKustutaLike mold, only good
We're good mold
I love how positive the Escapist article was. Its nice to have some good press once in a while.
VastaKustutaJust FYI,
VastaKustutaTeamLiquid is a "pro-gamer" site for SC2, not a programmer site. :D
Yay, good press is always great.
VastaKustutaWorld domination draws closer by the hour! :3
Yay! The cake I made. :)
VastaKustutaHere's pics of the top and inside too:

Dammit, I had JUST RECENTLY bought that house album, and now there's coming a deluxe version of it. What horribly bad timing.
VastaKustutaWow, I never thought I'd see the day when TeamLiquid got infected. It's all coming together...
VastaKustuta>Programming Pony Comparisons Sighted. Parents don't react at all.
VastaKustutaEh, it's Progaming, not programming. Short wrod for Professional Gaming.
The headlines made it all 20% cooler.
VastaKustutaGod, I'm jealous of your opportunity to mess with them like that. That's probably my favorite thing to do in the world.
I love you, Phoe.
VastaKustutaGET SOME GODDAMN SLEEP.
YOU TOO SETH.
/maternal instincts
I really with there was a way to turn off the pony changing cutie marks in that bullet hell game, or have another way to change ponies. The game is fun except for that part, which makes it extremely frustrating and almost unplayable at times. They are the hardest obstacles in the game and my number one cause for losing when I don't want to change my pony.
VastaKustutaPony music to get drunk to? Sigh. There goes my last up that brony culture would manage to stay even slightly class. How vile.
VastaKustutaReading how ponies keep taking over new things seriously makes my day ^^
VastaKustutaDestructoid had an article about the fighting game also.
VastaKustutaI love watching professional progamers program Starcraft II.
VastaKustutaPretty cool news, but was the writer of the headlines high?
VastaKustuta@Zamoonda
VastaKustutaYeah, I... I don't... it's been fixed. Let's just leave it at that.
I just can't get into the pony figures they sell. They look awful in comparison to the show and the fan made stuff.
VastaKustutaPoni street fighter looks really well put together so far.
VastaKustutaI've been in that Steam MLP group since it had like 400 members.
