    Inb4 Luna is creepy as hell in season two!

    On with the news!
    Guest Appearances at BronyCon

    The convention being held on the 25th of June in New York (Found here) will have a few of the more well known bronies attending.  Cabal from rainbowdash.net is presenting a panel, along with Eurobeat Brony who will be doing a live video Q&A for everyone.  Sounds like this event is turning out to be pretty massive!


    Merch Giveaway on Ponychan 

    Over on the /merch/ board of ponychan, another giveaway is currently under way.  The rules are pretty simple: Either Write a fic, draw a picture, or come up with a description of Star Swirl's life.  For those of you who have no clue who the hell that is, you can find the image here.   She is a toy that comes bundled with Rarity, which just so happens to be the grand prize.  Runner-ups will recieve various brushable single ponies.  If you are interested in entering, hop on over to the ponychan thread at this link!


    Rainbow Dash Takes Over a Mountain

    Or at least a sticker of her.  Some brony has pasted his super awesome custom Rainbow Dash sticker at the peak of a mountain for all the world to see.  Few places are worthy of such a mare, but I think this will work out well.  You can find the image page here!


    More Webcomics Go Brony 

    What is it with all these web comic creators!  They have ALL converted!
    1. Gingers Bread
    2. Full Time Ink (Several appearances in various comics)
    Slowly we devour the internet...one community at a time.  I'm still amazed at the lack of Penny Arcade pony!


    European World of Tanks Brony Guild

    It took a while, but the european server finally has a pony clan to call it's own. The clan is called READ (Royal Equestrian Armour Division), and for those interested in joining, you can find the page for it here!


    Twilight's Library Has a Name?

    Apparently logging into The Hub website gives you access to a customizable room, where you can spend your club bucks (collected from various things around the page) to add backgrounds and other items.  The Twilight's Library selection is called "Books and Branches Library".  Whether this is an official name, or a lazy designer, remains to be seen.   Thanks to Hoppie Love for the find!


    Beatles PMV Project

    Flashgen is starting up a massive compilation of pony clips to various beatles tracks.  You can find the page, and his intro video here!  If you are interested in helping out, you can email him at [email protected] or send him a message on Youtube.


    Ponies Pop Up in New Zealand's "The Listener"

    Another news source has thrown down the brony card, this time way over in New Zealand where the show hasn't even started airing yet!  The internet really is an amazing place.  Sadly it doesn't really cover anything new...which is why it's here in the nightly update! Hoorah! You can find the article here, along with my awesome banner that I need to change for tomorrow!


    Know Your Meme Pony Stats #2

    A few weeks ago I posted up the statistics for FiM over on Knowyourmeme.com.  Apparently we are closing in on some serious records here.  At it's current rate, it will be come the most viewed meme of all time on the site on the 24th of June.  Great job everyone!  You can find the new stats here! 


    EQDaily News Below!

    Fanfiction Fan Art

    You may have noticed a trend over on the Fallout Equestria post, a ton of fan art has been added.  I've said it before, and I'll say it again, these posts are your story posts!  If someone gives you fan art for it, or if the image I assign isn't something you want, feel free to let me know!  The blog format does have a few benefits that FF.net and DA generally don't give. 

    Madmax Appreciation Drawing Training Ground

    For those of you that don't follow the training ground post at all, today's bonus entry is to include Madmax's pony into the mix.  She is having a tough time right now IRL, and can really use all of your support.  Madmax has provided us with well over 250 images at this point, completely free, so she deserves it!  Now go draw her ponysona doing random things!

    Reading Rainboom Twice
    Hey

    I don't get much sleep





    And that is it for tonight's Nightly Round Up! Yes, it is 4:00AM. Yes, these posts do seem to be steadily moving to earlier in the morning. Yes, I am half asleep right now and completely incapable of writing anything witty.  I'm gonna go sort that side bar now and schedule tomorrow morning.  Wish me luck!  I'll proofread this stuff later!

      That's not a creepy Luna. That's Luna having tried coffee for the first time. Or drugs. Moon drugs.

      And yay, The Listener didn't portray us in a negative light! The first impression for my fellow Kiwis is positive! The battle may be won yet!

      Holy shit! I was like "Let me check ED one more time and hit the sack" and then Luna is in my face going "DON'T GO TO BED!"






      Time to crack open the energy drinks and burn the midnight oil doing nothing much. Cause that's the least I can do for our superior moon goddess.

      You should take Luna's advise, American Bronies. Stay up all night, Sleep through Celestia's day.

      Or maybe she is telling me to stay up through the night. I don't know, The Night and day dynamics get more confusing when you factor in time zones.

      Hmm, I'm surprisingly disapproving about someone putting a sticker on a mountain marker. Someone is going to have to clean that off and they'll have to climb the mountain to just cause of Rainbow Dash.

      Putting a sticker on a mountain is just littering and messing up the place. Yeah, it's got a meaning to us but you're essentially putting a graffiti tag up there. Not so hot.

      Why are people complaining about the sticker. I don't think anyone will mind there being a sticker on a post on top of a mountain. Also leaving a piece of you or something you love on top of a mountain is a great form of expression, as long as it isn't harmful to others or the environment (which a sticker stuck to a man-made statue really isn't.)

      Speaking of stats, how does Equestria Daily's "Total Pageviews" counter work? The counter widget updates continuously and at a regular interval, without polling the server. The rate of pageviews doesn't seem to change based on time of day.

      I've just been through four months of Penny Arcade comics because I was *sure* I saw another MLP PA. Tycho is sitting on a couch playing a game, when Gabe walks in with a DVD(?) of MLP. He makes Tycho watch it. Last panel is the two of them in front of an explosion of rainbows declaring their love for ponies.

      I couldn't find it.

      Did someone do a spoof PA strip? Did I dream it? Am I going insane?

      Rainbow Dash/Fluttershy, Twilight, Derpy, Rarity, Luna, Pinkie Pie, and Apple Jack.

      So, I got up, turned the computer on, and went to Equestria Daily...and that creepy picture of Luna WAS THE FIRST DAMN THING I SAW.
