Two new unique art blogs have popped up. People send in questions and the artists draw the ponies responding to them. The Applebloom one in particular uses a pretty interesting crayon style. You can find both of them below!Ask Applebloom
Ask Twilight Sparkle
My Little Timelord Audio Drama
The Doctor Whoof Story, My Little Timelord, has spawned an audio drama project. The guy working on it is currently looking for bronies to fill in for various roles. You can find the video explaining everything here!
Ponies Invade Extra Credit
The Extra Credit show over on Escapistmagazine.com has apparently succumbed to the same plague of friendship and love that the rest of the website is currently experiencing. Their recent cast dropped all sorts of pony references. You can find it here!
The Geek Professor Reports on Bronies
Another positive FiM article has appeared. It pretty much explains every single aspect of the show and why it is amazing. Everything from the animation to the community behind it is fully discussed. You can find it here!
Applebloom Jet Mod for Microsoft Flight Simulator
Another aircraft mod has popped up! this time it's a jet skin for Flight Simulator. This video actually shows the entire process of creating it to using it. Download links can be found in the description.
Official Portal Pony Mod Blog
A few days ago, I posted about a Portal 2 pony mod that was currently in progress, along with a map of equestrian that they built for the game. The team has started up a blog to report about the progress they are making on the game. You can find it here!
Alone in the Crowd Goes Full Pony
Another webcomic has given in to the pony armada! In fact, this one has dropped quite a bit of pony over the last few months! You can find them all below!

League of Legends Brony Clan
A bunch of bronies over on League of Legends have formed a group! Sadly the game doesn't have actual clan support yet, but these guys have taken over a section of the forums and created an in game brony chat channel for everyone to join. You can find the post about it here!Also have a Trixie, cause there are a lack of images in this thread and I love this one.
Brony Essay Live Reading
Another brony essay has popped up! Apparently someone thought it was so good, that they took it and created a youtube video about it. You can find that here!
Equestria Daily News
I read a lot of other blogs, it's one of the reasons I started this one in the first place. While EQdaily tends to be somewhat unconventional with it's archives and fanfiction, it still is primarily running with a heavily modified version of the same format.
That being said, I'd like to start borrowing ideas. I was linked to WoW insider today due to their sudden love of all things pony, and thought the blog post in question sounded like a good idea!
Would you guys be interested in something like that? A direct Q&A with various blog people? I'd be up for it, and I'm sure Cereal and Phoe would be cool with it too.
I know a lot of stuff here is a bit less wordy than most traditional blogs. It's difficult to write well thought out stuff without falling behind. Hell in the duration of creating this post, I got 9 emails! Not that this is a bad thing mind you, the more the merrier, I just don't have enough time in the day to be anything but brief.
And that is all for the nightly news! Off to archive the day and schedule tomorrow morning!

Freaky picture O_o
VastaKustutaThe guest artist on Extra Credits this week was apparently a brony, as you can see on her deviantArt page. But yeah, I couldn't help but drop a smile when I saw that.
VastaKustutaOH god that is one ugly picture, poor Fluttershy
VastaKustuta:(
Inb4 first
VastaKustutaJesus Christ, how horrifying.
VastaKustutaI think a Q&A would be pretty cool. But don't forget that sleep is important too.
VastaKustutaAnd, ~yay~ for more positive media. None of that icky mainstream stuff. Who watches the news, anyways?
Eek! Please don't hurt me, Fluttershy!
VastaKustutaI was only just about to go to sleep. But if Fluttershy wants me to stay awake, who am I to cower in fear and follow her every advice?
VastaKustutaYou're so cool Sethy. If you were a girl I'd ask you to have my babies.
VastaKustutaJust kidding. But really though, you are extremely cool.
IT'S 4AM (EST FTW)
VastaKustutaI'm sitting ALONE
in the DARK
AND I JUST SHAT A BRICK
Confound you Seth.
Cool news tonight.
VastaKustutaWTF...HOW WILL I SLEEP?
VastaKustutaThe audio drama looks a little underprepared; especially when comparing it to the organized look of that musical project.
VastaKustutaCreepyshy
VastaKustutaFUUUUUUUUK
MUST NOT SLEEP, MUST WARN OTHERS
Early nightly news?! I can go to sleep at a reasonable hour tonight! Yay!
VastaKustutaLots of gaming news, I would like to get the TF2 bronies together to do something. There is a large presence out there, at least in the servers I frequent.
Also, I think the Q&A is a great idea, if only to congratulate you all on your diligence and hard work! Takes a lot to run one of these shin-dig websites, and that would be a good place to let y'all know yer appreciated.
you should totally do a Trixie Q&A as well as a regular one.
VastaKustutaI really dig that Q&A idea, it'd be interesting and fun to interact with you guys in such a way, I give it a yay~
VastaKustutaIt's 4:20 in the morning here, and I'm reading Pony news. WHAT HAVE I DONE WITH MY LIFE?
VastaKustutaWhen Fluttershy tells you not to go to sleep, you listen or she will make you cry.
VastaKustutaWhen Luna tells you not to go to sleep, you fell bad that everyone else is sleeping and you do it before you make her cry.
Also, those ask a pony things were interesting. Those Twilight ones were amazing. The Twilight in a labcoat and glasses was adorable. Also the flustered and probably lying about not loving Celestia Twilight was adorable as well.
WAHHHH Fluttershy's too scary!
VastaKustutaHow can i go to sleep when... oh... right...
VastaKustutaForgot the timezones 'n' stuff! 9 hours ahead of ya!
No info or news about the series in Latin America ?
VastaKustutaThat Geek Professor site looked really lame but it was actually a very good read. I especially liked how he wrapped it all up, putting in to words what we all feel but can't necessarily explain when we watch the show.
VastaKustutaThose comics were great! Especially the first one. I still haven't figured a good solution to that problem.
VastaKustutaQ&A sounds good.
Huh, those two blogs are a pretty cool and fun idea. I applaud them. <3
VastaKustutaThe My Little Timelord audio drama sounds like it could be fun too. Almost contemplating lending my voice talent to it.
The article from The Geek Professor was also a pretty good read. It covered quite a bit and it covered it well. Better than your usual article that deals with things of this nature. Many of the points he talked about are points I was trying to make earlier in the "Discussion/Editorial: Ponies As A Creative Outlet" topic. Sadly, my writing and wording skills are not the best around. lol
The Alone in a Crowd comics made me giggle. So true, so true. :P
And hmm, a direct Q&A with the bloggers. Eh, I probably wouldn't utilize it much myself to be honest, but I'm sure there are a LOT of people here who would be all over that. Could give it a trial run and see how it goes. :)
glad to see sethisto getting to bed at a slightly more reasonable hour.
VastaKustutaAhem... Rule 244.
VastaKustutaI'm familiar with the extra credit show on the escapist, and this news about them is not really news to me: Their backup artist is just very meme savvy.
VastaKustutaNow I can't go to bed because I'll have nightmares now :C
VastaKustuta>direct Q&A with blog people.
VastaKustuta>Seth, Cereal, Phoe, and the new guy?
>:D yes please!!!
I'd still hug her.
VastaKustuta@Anonymous
VastaKustutaI wish!
Damn you EQD! I was going to go to sleep two hours ago but I saw the Nightly Round-up and just had to read it! >.< All very good info regardless.
VastaKustutaYay for pony science!
VastaKustuta*scrolling up from the bottom*
VastaKustuta"D'awww, Filly Derpy!"
"Oh Luna, you so cute."
"WAAAAHHHH!"
Don't go to sleep indeed.
Seth, you guys can do whatever you have time for in those inane schedules and we'll love it.
VastaKustutaAlso... stop telling Fluttershy no.
Okay, the Applebloom blog is just cute enough to act as a contrast to the nightmare inducing header picture.
VastaKustutaSo *one* MLP reference is now "all sorts of pony references"? Or did I miss them all? Either way, it's good to know that series has come a long way since it started. I remember watching the first one and thinking it was crap.
VastaKustutaAlso, FLUTTERSHY WILL MURDER YOUR FAMILY
Probably one pf ,y most favorite Nightly ups!
VastaKustutaKeep the good work Seth and I'll draw you Trixie!
I love those ask Twilight and Apple Bloom things. They made one for almost every character, but I don't think anybody made an ask Trixie yet. Just putting it out there, Seth.
VastaKustutaI don't think it's very big thing or even surprising that Extra Credits had an MLP reference, especially if the guest/temporary artist is a member of this fandom. It's hosted on the Escapist, which is already very pony-friendly, and the show is the most optimistic show on the site. I'd say it was more a question of 'when' rather than 'if'. Now if Yathzee dropped a reference...
VastaKustutaAlso, by my count there is one very obvious reference (the logo) and one possible one at the start (is it me or was that "I am bee-tii-full" thing Steven Magnet?). I don't think that's "all sorts of pony references".
As soon as that audio is done, you post it bro!
VastaKustutaGood Mid Afternoon Round up this time.
VastaKustutaThe ONE day I don't watch EC the day it comes out.
VastaKustutaHm. I wondered when you'd get around to posting about the Thinking With Ponies blog... but I'm kinda surprised it didn't get its own post, what with the new 3D pony model for Source... oh, well.
VastaKustuta@NotAGoodUsername360
VastaKustutaWhen I sent him the email, I suggested the nightly roundup. That's probably why it's not in its own post.
Nobody wll read this, but I'll saynit anyway.
VastaKustutaThe Brony essay video was incredibly well done and speaks to all bronies, especially me. Watch it, it deserves your attention.
"I know a lot of stuff here is a bit less wordy than most traditional blogs." Are you kidding? Pretty much my entire day is spent on Equestria Daily! Back that up with the giant archive of fics and I could spend weeks straight just sitting at my computer XD
VastaKustutaI am so glad I check these round-up posts in the morning (8 AM) now- that is a CREEPY image.
VastaKustutaI'm not sure which of the two images above I find creepier.
VastaKustutaAsk Applebloom is a riot, this one's my favorite:

Kinda makes me wish I had a tumblr.
@Dr. Henry Killinger
VastaKustutaDude, you can't go on ANY server without at least one other brony being on
@Torrential Rains
VastaKustutaAnd that's not even counting the ones who are trying to hide that fact...
After Magick Chicks, lately that's a lot of web comics.
VastaKustutaTRIPIE? SEXY
VastaKustuta(HuffytheMagicDragon)
Ponies invaded Extra Credit?
VastaKustuta'Scuse me for a sec.
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
Where was I?
The only think I know about that Extra Credit show is that /v/ absolutely despises them, I assume for good reason.
VastaKustutaA bit of an update on the pony science: There are currently 88 people who will be watching thanks to all your help. I think it's very likely that we'll break 100 by the end of the day.
VastaKustutaI like the brief posts. If I want to do a lot of reading, I'll check out a fanfic.
VastaKustutaA Q&A segment would be pretty cool, I'd probably read it if it's presented somewhat concisely.
I... it...
VastaKustutaAll aboard the Pinxie ship!
She's using "The Stare" of reproach on us. Quite intimidating. I feel guilty.
VastaKustutaThere's also an Ask Pinkie Pie that started very recently!
VastaKustutahttp://askpinkie-pie.tumblr.com/
@Zogger568
VastaKustutaDude. I read it.
Nice roundup. Especially liked the ask AppleBloom/Twilight one.
VastaKustutaAlso, I actually love that Creepyshy picture (hence why I have it as my icon)
Well thats just the thing, ED is run by individuals who can't seem to 'keep up'. They then make excuses and then act all weak and ask for 'advice', which is clearly just your way and shoveling grit under the rug. Fact it, this blog ll continue to fall behind with that attitude of yours.
VastaKustutaI'm loving all the new Ask Ponies blogs on Tumblr. I'm http://askprincesscelestia.tumblr.com/ and I think between my header and AskApplebloom's links page, we have the links to almost all the other Ask Ponies blogs (at least that I've seen). It's loads of fun.
VastaKustutaI love me them pony image blogs.
VastaKustutaAsk Pinkie Pie on Tumblr is pretty good, too.
VastaKustutaLol Fluttershy looks epic in that pic! xD
