    Tomorrow will be huge though right?

    So..Much...news. 
    Pony Episode Chronology Version 2

    RusselH has modified the hell out of his Pony Episode Chronology from a few days ago. Apparently someone sent it early without his consent. The new version can be found at the post! Or here!


    Bronies for Good Drive on Ponychan

    A bunch people over on Ponychan have teamed up to do some crazy charity drive. Ideas on what exactly to do are currently storming over at this thread. If you are interested, go check it out!

    Tropecast Top 10 Guilty Pleasures

    You can find Friendship is Magic hangin out right next to Pokemon, Wrestling, and Yu-Gi-Oh, over at the Tropecast Top 10 Guilty Pleasures section of Webcast Beacon. Now we just need games to go with it like everyone else!

    Icelandic Subtitles

    Another brony has released a subtitle set! This time it's all in Icelandic. You can find the files for it here!

    Malaysian McDonalds Ponies Slightly Limited

    Sadly, the bronies over in Malaysia got a bit shafted on their McDonalds toys. Rainbow Dash, Twilight Sparkle, Cheerilee, and Pinkie Pie are the only characters available. It is currently unknown if the rest of the set will be available later on. At least there is still ebay!

    "Ask A Pony" Blog Listing

    Apparently there are a ton "Ask a Pony" blogs out there. Enough to warrant an entire portal style google doc. You can find it here!

     I'm pretty sure the Trixie ones are the best though. 







    Space Shuttle Pulls off a Sonic Rainboom

    OmigoshOmigoshOmigosh.  This is from Space Shuttle Atlantis busting out a sonic rainboom.  Looks like it actually exists guys! It may not be a giant explosion of light covering a hundred mile radius, but I'll take what I can get! 








    Comic: Alex's Guide Posts Ponies

    Another webcomic artist has gone pony!  I'm pretty sure this is going to be a requirement for all of them soon. You can find all of them here!

    Story of the Blanks Featured at Blistered Thumbs


    The gaming website Blisteredthumbs.net has included "Story of the Blanks" in their recent Delightful Treats of the Week post.

    If you guys haven't played it yet, I would highly suggest heading over to newgrounds and giving it a shot.  It's short, but totally worth it.  Might want to do it with the lights on though. 



    British Facebook Brony Hub

    A group for british bronies is currently recruiting more over on facebook!  You can check it out here!

    Roleplaying Forum: Afternoon in Trottingham

    Another RP forum has popped up!  This one promises less rules, and encourges insanity.  Sounds like my old Dungeons and Dragons group.  You can find it here!

    Party City Picks Up Pony Stuff

    Looks like Party City has some custom style birthday stuff available, along with that semi-creepy Rainbow Dash dress from a while back.

    So if you need thank you cards, or banners, you know where to find them!  


    New Tinychat Channel Up

    Apparently all of the tinychat rooms died out!  So they made a new one! You can find it here!

    Pony Dresses

    Someone over at Polyvore is taking existing designs and combing them to match ponies!  Sadly most of us aren't really capable of wearing dresses (in public at least), but they are pretty neat regardless! You can find them here!

    Worms Reloaded: Pony Speechbank Demonstration Video

    Earlier I posted about a Worms Reloaded mod that adds pony speech to everything.   Someone created a video to demonstrate what exactly the mod does! You can find it here!

    Pony Call to Arms!

    A game called "Own This World" where players from various GPS locations team up and declare war on other coordinates has a small following of bronies that are teaming up to literally take over the world.  If you are interested in helping out, hit up the ponychan thread here!

    Equestria Daily News

    The Ponies Around the World event is absolutely insane right now.  There are over 50 entries already, and we still have 4 days left.  I don't think I can handle extending it sadly.  I might try making this a monthly thing though.

    Some of these locations are amazing!  I really need to get out more..


    That's it for the nightly news! Probably a few typos in there, but this one is pretty beastly and I have a bunch of stuff to do still.

      I think that Bronies for Good charity idea is great. So many talents and love in our community. Why not put some of that talent and love to use with helping those in need or helping make the world just a little brighter?

      As for MLPFiM as a guilty pleasure... certainly without a doubt guilty here. But aren't we all? lol

      Also, blogs dedicated to answering questions ponies have for me? It's more likely than you think... silly ponies, thinking they're me. 6_9

      I saw the photo of that spacecraft a little while ago when someone posted it elsewhere. Pretty neat. Sonic Rainboom... not quite all the way across the sky... but hey. It's there!

      Dang, another webcomic featuring the ponies. They know doing so will garner them a lot of attention, they're not stupid. ;)

      And ooh, the dresses look nice. This brings the Rarity in me out. I've never really been much of a dress person myself to be honest. But I may be persuaded to get one of these. They're cute.

      Hmm, musical auditions. I haven't seen that. Doubt I'll have time for anything like that, but it's worth taking a look at.

      Also, dang, still need to go get a my Ponies Around the World pic done. I have to wait til I get the chance to get out again and have the time. I hope I can!

      The chronology still isn't right, though, because Pinkie Pie describes the climax event of "Sonic Rainboom" in "Griffon The Brushoff."

      ...jesus fucking christ, I'm nitpicking the chronology of a TV show, which I vowed I would never do, because I vowed I'd never get so involved in a fandom that I fucking knew something about the chronology in the first place. And what am I involved in? "My Little Pony." What happened to me?

      Lets see the shuttle thing is new and I've seen a lightning orbs before.

      Cute comic.

      "Story of the blanks" is pretty popular and needs a fanfiction master to put it in a written format.

      Wish I could join the fanfiction fun but my stuff sucks.

      Of those 50 entries my two (Mostly a) joke entries must not be a part of the 'ponies around the world'.

      The shuttle pulls off half of a Sonic Rainboom? Maybe they will preform a full one when we eventually go to Mars.

      So most web comics has done ponies, a lot of news websites have done ponies, and even MI5 has done ponies. It won't be long until full domination, or at least a joke in a Simpsons episode.

      Dash's dress. It's all under two-hundred bits till you get to the purse she'd never carry. Dash and purses? Does not mix, even though I see pegasui carrying one on their wings.

      Personally, I'll stick to a messanger bag covered in pins and not wear a dress with strategically-placed holes.

      Also, I don't recall that kids' dress model wearing brony shoes.

      And Story of the Blanks is so great. Atmospheric, creative, and working within the confines of 8bit makes it work probably way better than it would have if it had been done professionally for the PS3. Applebloom makes a great lead to, would love to see more.

      Going nerd: what the Shuttle did was break the sound barrier, what you're seeing is a Prandtl–Glauert singularity, a vapor cone produced when you break the sound barrier.

      All the shuttles do it as they have to achieve an orbital speed of 17,580 miles per hour ~ Mach 22.89.

      Shuttle speeds are far beyond anything Rainbow Dash could ever hope to achieve. A lot more then just 20% cooler.
