• Nightly Roundup #40

    Galaxy pony edition!

    Or kitsune pony, I don't really know what that thing is.  Is this even an FiM image?

    TECHNICALITIES!

    On with he news!


    Comics Plugging Ponies!

    There are a few this time around, so have a list!
    1. Loldwell (Pony Corgi)
    2. El Goonish Shive (Yep, again! Might as well convert to a pony comic at this rate)
    3. NSFW Comics (Apparently he actually is a brony, so I guess it's the same as [INSERT NATIONALITY HERE] comedians making fun of their own culture... right?)
    4. Catena Manor

    Crazy comic artists!

    Ponies Return to Memebase

    A few weeks ago, Memebase.com banned ponies, completely wiping out every single trace of them and deleting any new entries that popped up.

    As we have seen in the past, this never actually works. My Little Pony has now returned, and can be found under the Bronies category.



    Roy is a Brony Contact Information

    Last night I plugged a fan comedy film project called "Roy is a Brony". He didn't give me any contact information though! I had him send it this morning. If you are interested, check out the post about it here!

    And contact him here: fkrnews@gmail.com
     

    Trixter Online Brony Guild

    Another group is working on setting up a brony guild, this time over on Trickster Online. 

    If you play this game, and want to join in, you can find the link to the forum post here, or an alternate one here


    Derpy Hooves in "Castle Crashing a Wedding"

    A Castle Crashers flash over on Newgrounds thew derpy hooves at the end.  Not exactly groundbreaking for newgrounds, but still pretty neat!

    You can find it here!



    Washington DC Brony Meet

    Another successful meetup!  I haven't heard of any of these going badly yet.  Is it possible that bronies everywhere are similar enough to actually have fun with complete strangers? Apparently these guys did!  You can find a few videos below!


    Winter Wrap Up Singalong
    So Many Wonders Singalong

    Also some photos here!


    Comic Con Meetup!

    A spur of the moment meetup is happening for comic con.  If you are going, it would probably be a good idea to check out this thread!



    FiM Review on DA

    I think ten people sent this throughout the day, so apparently it's good! Enjoy!

    3. Fallout Equestria updated..

      OH NO, MY FREE TIME!

      ReplyDelete
    4. Aw, the slightly-altered official intro still hasn't been posted. Damn.

      Well, whatever. Yo, people - Canadian MLP site has a slightly different version of the show's intro on it. Instruments are louder and AJ/Rarity's voices are completely different.

      http://www.hasbro.com/mylittlepony/en_CA/

      Apparently the US pony site has the same one, but you've gotta wait through a video or two to get to it.

    5. That's not how you spell Pinkie Pie!

      ReplyDelete
    6. Seth, whatever happened to your undying love for the Great and Powerful Trixie? I am disappoint.

      Twilight is clearly the most superior pony, just sayin'.

      And another chapter of Fallout Equestria... already...? Kkat truely is a machine.

    7. The best pony is once again best pony!

      ReplyDelete
    8. Damn right Fluttershy is the best Pony.

      ReplyDelete
    9. Alright fluttershy, show that ninja who's boss! Also, posting from work is awesome.

    10. Cool news as always, pitty I won't be able to make it to Comic-con this year(well short of picking up tickets for next year).

      ReplyDelete
    11. Of course I just bought a shirt, and there is one for half the price. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

      ReplyDelete
    12. That comic... "I have a lot to learn about friendship."

      I cracked up

      And I saw that flash earlier and didn't know about or see Derpy. Watched it again, and there she was... EPIC!

      She or somepony better be there for the other fights.

      ReplyDelete
    13. Yay, I helped and contributed something. lol

      Silly Memebase, y u no liek ponies?

      Seeing Derpy in that Castle Crashers flash was great. It may not be majorly "wow", but it's still funny and cool. :D

      Poor Ninja Pony. But you go Fluttershy. I can agree with this. Minus Trixie, Derpy and Octavia. ;)

      ReplyDelete
    14. Fluttershy is now best pony?

      On whose authority?

      ReplyDelete
    15. Not much caught my eye tonight. Oh well.

      @BronyMike:

      What is this I don't even?

      Rarity and Applejack just didn't sound right.

      The music wasn't that bad though, the louder instruments didn't affect it that much in my opinion.

      ReplyDelete
    16. slow news day....

      ReplyDelete
    17. I want the alfalfa monster shirt soooo bad

      ReplyDelete
    18. Ok every pony sorry if this has been reported on before, but mighty fine released new shirts with sayings like "brony","brohoof" Dashie flying out of the pink floyd thingy, "Equestria Girls", I heart (inserd pic of Derpy Hooves here), and a DJ-Pon3 shirt!!! Here's the link http://www.welovefine.com/nby.php?c=3#/instantSearch=1&id_lang=1&q=124&c=2,3&wa=&st=&o=n&p=1 I absolutely geeked OUT!!!

      ReplyDelete
    19. Some of the shirts are web exclusive but well worth it!!!

      ReplyDelete
    20. While Fluttershy is cute and adorable, Twilight is best pony. I mean, c'mon, Pinkie Pie says Twilight is the best pony and she can see through the fourth wall. Don't believe me? Remember "Ticket Master"? Remember Pinkie's Ticket song?
      "Twilight is my bestest friend whopee, whopee. She's the cutest, smartest all around best pony, pony."
      Irrefutable evidence is irrefutable.

    23. Imma buy the shit out of those vector tees.

      (even though I never liked having official art be copypasta'd, I can't resist that price)

      ReplyDelete
    24. Why did we get banned from memebase again? I though we moved past pointless banning of bronies months ago. Its not like we go raiding these sites. At least, I never see us raiding, I'm usually asleep when most of the activity here happens.

      ReplyDelete
    25. 19 mil! Woohoo!
      Oh man, hey, it's been ages since I read Catena. I loved that comic, I gotta go check it out.
      FLUTTERSHYYYYYYYY! =D

    26. God damn it, Furries.

      ReplyDelete
    27. ... But Fluttershy IS a ninja...

      ReplyDelete
    28. Finally came to your senses Seth! Fluttershy IS best pony!!!

      ReplyDelete
    29. Hooray for Fluttershy!

    30. Tears of a ValedictorianJuly 18, 2011 at 7:28 AM

      I don't think I'll be able to advance past a certain stage on the Pony Streetfighter game, because there's no way I'm going to be able to beat up Fluttershy. Unless there's a "have afternoon tea and chat about the weather" combo.

      ReplyDelete
    31. All I can think about this post is, my God, people still play Trickster? I remember when that came out, years ago, when I was really into Maple Story. Blast from the past, bro.

      ReplyDelete
    32. Just you wait guys- I see a lot of trixie heading our way. Keep up the nightly round ups seth, pony news is usually good news!

      ReplyDelete
    33. Argh, the spam filter hates me. Could you post some tips on how to not get caught by it? Maybe I used to many elipsis points.

      Seth, you are such a... a flip-flop! Ninja pony one moment, and fluttershy the next! When I first got to EqD, I thought there was only one admin who was bi-pony (hey, Charlie sheen can make up bi-winning). Rarity one hour, trixie the next, and sometimes pinkiepie.

      ReplyDelete
    34. Everypony must remember that The Great and Powerful Trixie is and forever will be, best pony! For now Trixie will forgive everypony's temporary mind lapse in saying otherwise. Also Trixie will most definitely be buying every shirt that features The Great and Powerful Trixie, for they are the best and greatest shirts!

      ReplyDelete
    35. Yay cheap vector shirts!
      And the review is just amazing.

      ReplyDelete
    36. Hope I'm not breaking any community rules, but I don't know where else to put this, so I'm treating this as basically an open thread...

    37. I've come up with a few ideas for new fanfics, but I'm not sure if I have an original plot. Should I manually go back through the archives and read anything that looks like a possible match, or is there an easier way to make sure my story is unique?

      ReplyDelete
    38. The Twilight in the banner has her highlight on the wrong side >:(

      ReplyDelete
    39. "Fluttershy is now best pony"
      And suddenly, Seth became 20% cooler!


      @icefox01
      I would suggest going to /fic and ask on the writer training grounds thread.

    40. Artist Alumni group?

      ReplyDelete
    41. I recall seeing this image on Know Your Meme. The artist was trying to imagine what Celestia and Luna's parents were like.

      ReplyDelete
    42. Hey, just so everyone knows, Somepony does not have my permission to sell Alfalfa Monster shirts. I have contacted the owner and asked them to remove the shirts from the store; until this happens, please refrain from placing orders for those particular shirts.

      Thanks.

      ReplyDelete
    43. ^ Just to clarify my above post, they are using a modified version of my art without my permission. That's the part I'm not cool with.

      Why did we need to bitch at Memebase just so they would let ponies back up? That is why a lot of people hate Bronies, cause you can get damn annoying. You guys should have just made your own site for that.

      ReplyDelete
    45. LMFAO at the ICHC.com network being slowly consumed by bronies.

      First, KnowYourMeme was assimilated. Now Memebase.

      Next caturday, I think we need to try and get Opalescence on the front page of the actual I Can Has Cheezburger page...

      Can we try to not take over the Internet? You know, before we officially become Cancer?

      ReplyDelete
    47. Muahahaha, and the pony swarm continues to devour the internets.


      Also, Fluttershy is best pony now? Did you and Trixie have a falling out? :/

      ReplyDelete
    48. Fluttershy's pulling rank on ninja pony. Damn straight

      ReplyDelete
    49. @BronyMike
      I could have sworn that was just an earlier demo version where Rarity still had Tabitha St. Germain as her singing voice.

      ReplyDelete
    50. Excuse me, you mispelled Rarity there at the end of the post.

      ReplyDelete
    51. why did i read 20 mil is Scootaloo?

      ReplyDelete
    52. @Egophiliac When I saw that the image had been altered I figured something was up. An original with your permission would rock, just sayin.

      ReplyDelete
    53. Our broney meet up made it on EqD? Sqeeeee! So awesome!

      ReplyDelete
    54. The Memebase thing is sort of wrong.

      Everything you see in the 'Bronies' category? That's just what they tagged all the stuff that appeared on Pony Day On Memebase, which was reported ten days ago.

      At the end of Pony Day On Memebase, they mentioned something about moving pony stuff over to Bros at Failblog, which really wasn't a good compromise. Bros at Failblog is a collection of pictures of orange-tanned 'Jersey Shore'-type folks who think they're ten times as cool as they are. The guys who throw up strange hand signals and pull duckfaces. Not a good place for ponies.

      I just archive binged the last ten days of Bros., and there's about three or four pony entries. One of them seems to suggest they're just trollin' us: http://bros.failblog.org/2011/07/12/guidos-bros-douchebags-fratboys-untitled-9/

      ReplyDelete
    55. @Dave Mustang, the cynical Brony Where was it confirmed that bronies complained to get their stuff back? I'd like to see a source or are you making assumptions again?

      ReplyDelete
    56. >On with he news!

      By the power of Grey-Skull...

      I HAVE THE POWER!!

    57. @Egophiliac
      I am sorry, and I have removed the shirts.
      I was trying to be a convenience to the community.
      The other shirts are still up and I have been contacted saying it is fine.

      ReplyDelete
    58. Fluttershy the best pony? You ALMOST got it there with the second best! Next time, write T-w-i-l-i-g-h-t S-p-a-r-k-l-e.

    59. OMG 20 MIL? WTFFTWWTFFTWWTFFTWWTFFTWWTF??????!!!!!
