• Nightly Roundup #55

    This is so confusing. 

    Have some news while I go put my brain back togeather.


    Comics Posted Ponies!

    Actually, only one this time around.  Shortpacked did a small one recently.  You can find it below!

    Shortpacked!


    Fallout Stealth Suit Mod

    Another mod has popped up! this one replaces some of the lines of the Stealth Suit Mk II with pony stuff.  I never did aquire this thing when I played New Vegas... Oh well!

    You can find the video of it, as well as the download link, here!



    Canterlot.com Create a Dream Foal Contest 

    The final week for the Create Your Dream Foal Contest has come.  The general rule of it is to design the child of a pair of ponies in the show, regardless of sex or compatibility.

    They have a bunch of rewards lined up, so if you are interested in winning stuff,  you can find more information here!



    Rainbowdash.net Forums

    The Twitter style site Rainbowdash.net has opened up a forum.  You can find it here!

    They are also setting up some gaming servers for things like Minecraft and Terraria.  All information on that can be found at this link!


    Fire Breathing Pony Robot

    Overlord Butterscotch is the newest addition to the robotics community.  This 3 foot tall demonspawn is the ultimate in pony badassedness.  Not even Celestia can breathe fire.

    You can find the article, and a video of it, here!


    Generosity Day

    For those following the monthly elements of harmony holidays,  August 6th has been dubbed "generosity" day over at the facebook group.  You can join in on the festivities here!


    Achievement Hunter Watches My Little Pony

    Remember when that used to be an insult back in grade school? 

    One of the more famous gamerscore enthusiasts over on youtube, known as the Achievement Hunter, recently released a video and dropped a tiny pony reference at the 3:08 mark.  You can find it here!


    Canterlot Throw Blanket, and AJ's Pink Truck!

    Part of the Canterlot set included the pink truck that popped up a while back. It's....interesting to say the least.  Definitely not something I want to see in the show.

    At the other end of the spectrum...I really want this throw blanket.  Have a review thing from from the person that sent the picture!


    "The wife and I grabbed one of the microsuede throw blankets. Its very, very soft and not near as pink as the picture on the label makes it out to be. Its actually mostly a nice violet color and the image on the blanket is nice and crisp."-Dashukta
    Yep... I want one.  


    MLP RPG Rule Book Needs Testers

    Flatline from Ponychan is looking for people to help test out his RPG rule book.  If you are interested in taking a look, you can find it here!

    All feedback should be sent to [email protected]

    1. Probably NOT first.

      VastaKustuta
    2. Well you never got the Stealth suit MK II in New Vegas is because it's only in Old World Blues

      VastaKustuta
    3. >mfw when Pink Truck goes canon

      headexplosion.jpg

      VastaKustuta
    4. uhm, what's up with the OP image, school bus?? is it something I don't know about..

      VastaKustuta
    5. I really can't tell if the picture is NMM or Nyx. On one hand, she's adoring a poofy-twilight-haired school bus, on the other she has Luna's NMM cutie mark. To defeat the first point, it makes no sense for NMM OR Nyx to correlate that poofy hair to Twilight, so therefore it can't be Nyx, and for the second point, NMM has never been seen without her armour so it can't be NMM. Therefore, we can only conclude that the whole image is just artistic license.

      Confound these ponies, they drive me to make arguments about downright ridiculous things.

      VastaKustuta
    6. I need to get paid so I can acquire my new throw blanket.

      VastaKustuta
    7. @Vsin So, let me get this straight: Twilight Sparkle, with poofy hair, as a school bus, is an acceptable break from reality; but NMM not wearing her armour is just stretching things a little too far?

      Hmm. Interstading...

      VastaKustuta
    8. Dude, I haven't played Vindictus since I started watching ponies!
      ...And now, I must make a Pony guild in it.

      VastaKustuta
    9. Fire-Breathing pony ftw

      VastaKustuta
    10. I was disappointed with the AHWU... I was really hoping that Jack and Geoff would finally convert to bronyism. Ah well.

      VastaKustuta
    11. Aww, but, they're in love. And who're we to get in between true love? :>

      The Shortpacked comic gave me a good laugh. I can see some Bronies saying this at the cash register. :P

      Hmm, I didn't know about that Create Your Dream Foal Contest. Sounds fun. Let the large quantities of shipping commence! As opposed to any other time, right? ;)

      Heh, that fire-breathing robot pony is cool. If they haven't already, they should make it capable of walking around as well.

      Uh-oh, there's AJ's pink truck again. With the Twi cutout in thw back. Always reminds me of that comic... http://ponibooru.413chan.net/post/view/18743

      As for the throw blanket, I can relate. I want it too.

      Huh... a guide to rapping. Eh, not a rap person myself. But I make exceptions for pony-related rap. lol That's a good nifty idea though.

      Also, I concur that Bonbon and Lyra do make a very cute couple. Love'em. :)

      VastaKustuta
    12. o.o! I too would love to get one of those throw blankets! Any info on those perhaps?

      VastaKustuta
    13. So, Geoff likes ponies.

      Sarge: "Grif! What are you doin' in there!?"
      Grif: "Watchin' ponies, jeez."

      VastaKustuta
    14. I think I chose the perfect month to do a lot of Rarity drawings :3 Generosity FTW!

      VastaKustuta
    15. I bought the weird as hay truck. It actually can hitch to Rarity's carriage. Oddly enough, the hood ornament on mine is a light blue, like a certain cyan colored pegasus. Coincidence?

      VastaKustuta
    16. Overlord Butterscotch is Perfect.
      Better than that knave Glueblood.

      VastaKustuta
    17. Well then, I guess there's another piece of merchandise to pick up.

      Reading through the Pony RPG rules, it seems a lot like Wushu. That's not really a bad thing though. It was an easy to get into, quick to start, and simple to learn game.

      VastaKustuta
    18. another great nightly round-up. Shame I can't attend the sol cal meet-up. Go figure I work both those days hah!

      VastaKustuta
    19. Aw, even though I live in Irvine, I doubt I'll be able to make it to either meet-up. Such is life sometimes.

      VastaKustuta
    20. I'd love to play that tabletop RPG, but I don't have any RL bronies...
      Also, loved Twilight Schoolbus. IMO that's Nyx next to her/it/whatever.

      VastaKustuta
    21. Celestia seems a bit... small... on that blanket.

      VastaKustuta
    22. Good nightly roundup :)

      Nice of you to put Lyra and BonBon at the end, such a cute couple.

      VastaKustuta
    23. So we finally got to Rooster Teeth. To be honest, I wasn't expecting it to turn up in Achievement Hunter. If it turned up anywhere, I was betting pony toys turning up in one of the Rooster Teeth shorts. They have a very large collection of toys to begin with anyway. If not there, they could have easily turning up in Red vs Blue anyway.

      VastaKustuta
    24. Looks like sparkle screwed up a spell again!

      VastaKustuta
    25. those blankets are at Target!! http://www.target.com/My-Little-Pony-Throw/dp/B004W8U9CU/

      VastaKustuta
    26. ACHIEVEMENT HUNTER IS A BRONY?!

      Meh, old news. He had winter wrap up playing in the background in one of his deleted minecraft videos.

      VastaKustuta
    27. Heh, one of the characters on Shortpacked was collecting MLP toys before Friendship is Magic even started. They've been dropping several FiM references in the past months.

      VastaKustuta
    28. YES! I knew it! Abbout a month ago, the guys from achievement hunter posted a normal video that had "Ponies are not the same" in the tags... I knew it had something to do with this! This is huge, their fanbase is inormeous!

      VastaKustuta
    29. Totally bought that throw yesterday at Target. It's pretty amazing.

      Even got some weird looks from the cashier and a mom/daughter who where in the same aisle.

      Also, Target has an entire endcap of pony merchandise, most of its the nightmare inducing stuff but at least its there.

      VastaKustuta
    30. Nightmare Moon is climbing on the Magic Schoolbus, get ready for adventure! *Jingle!*

      VastaKustuta
    31. I got one if those blankets a few days ago. It's great. Celestia isn't pink finally! When I was at Target again yesterday, they were sold out of them and one piece of the bedding set. I didn't look to see whether it was the comforter or the sheet set. I'm hoping they have more in the back, because it all seemed to be selling quickly. Well, all but the T-shirts that only go up to size 5 toddler. If they were bigger, though, they'd be gone, too.

      VastaKustuta
    32. Nice to see RT dropping a pony reference. I was expecting it in a comic or podcast, since they tend to be more random and have lower lead times. Seeing ponies in RvB would be awesome, but I hear the lead time is long, so it would be a while from them joining the herd to us seeing it. I completely missed the whatever was up with ponies in their minecraft videos, is there any way to find those?

      I'm still waiting for xkcd to drop a pony reference. I don't want to see it forced, but something subtle would be nice.

      And once again, I want that blanket. Confound you Target and your poor restocking!

      VastaKustuta
    33. I just wanna say that us bronies on the RT site have a Friendship is Magic group. And we also have AH Pony icons :D

      VastaKustuta
    34. Now more than ever, I wish I had TF2.

      VastaKustuta
    35. Re: OP Image: That is indeed intended to be Nightmare Moon, and the bus in question has no formal title other than "Bedroom Hair Bus" or simply, "THE BUS".

      The image is based on a quickfic written here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1wufYSdIemiiDnQypz5s9koc8dSzjqc6UxKiSKkpBU8o/edit?hl=en_GB

      VastaKustuta
    36. MAGIC SCHOOL BUS!

      VastaKustuta
    37. "Ride on the [Friendship is] Magic School Bus!"

      VastaKustuta
    38. It wasn't good that they dropped the pony reference because they were calling the streamers gay...

      VastaKustuta
    39. @SajinZero I've seen those around. I think I actually saw a few in a comments section before I knew about FiM. Didn't realize what I was seeing at the time. Looking back, I may have seen Applebloom there as early as April, and I found the title pic for "The Sun's Song" floating around my HDD, away from the other ponies the other day, tagged as downloaded in early May (I didn't start turning into a pony till July), and I have no idea where it came from. Seems I've been exposed to ponies for longer than I thought...

      VastaKustuta
    40. Yay the 6th of August is our meet-up!

      VastaKustuta
    41. @Vsin

      For some reason, I totally read your comment in Vizzini's voice from the Princess Bride.

      VastaKustuta
    42. I have a fellow bronie picking me up that blanket, and sending it to me!

      VastaKustuta
    43. You know one of the Achievement Horse games had the tags Ponies Are Not The Same, before this just sayin.

      VastaKustuta
    44. Ack... A bit of confusion there.

      I just saw (for the first time) the AppleJack Truck in with the Canterlot stuff. I'm pretty sure it's not part of it. Just customers being customers moving things around the store again.

      VastaKustuta
    45. Now THAT'S a Celestia Blanket worth buying (She's NOT Pink)! :D

      VastaKustuta
    46. Bonbon and Lyra are totally the best couple.

      And the roleplaying game seems fun. If only I had a group to do so with.

      VastaKustuta
    47. Damn that pony is HOT Nathan Zachary's response: Whoa That's Hot! Professor whens this thing end i'm bouncin off the walls in here!
      Lol bon bon's face is like "just go with it"
      (HuffytheMagicDragon)

      VastaKustuta
    48. @Fly Amanita

      Hey brony! No worries, you can feel free to join the group so you'll know when we're planning our next Irvine meetup! :)

      VastaKustuta
    49. HEY BRONIES!! About Dragon Nest, in the GERRANT server, we have a guild entitled "Bronies". Just PM Starstruckk (myself) or CuddlyPotato for an invite!

      VastaKustuta
    50. >Says the SoCal meetup was organized by the MLP Trading Post
      >Was actually organized about a month ago through Rainbowdash.net and the corresponding Skype group.
      Can't make it to either meetup due to money, unfortunately. We're working on another I believe, but with a later date and somewhere closer to the beach probably.

      VastaKustuta
    51. @Anonymous
      You know TF2 is free to play now, right?

      VastaKustuta
    52. If The Irvine Meet was on the 5th there.. I could show up depending if I can get a 53 foot trailer wedged in the parking lot.

      VastaKustuta
    53. @eaglehooves
      Couldn't have said any of that better myself.

      VastaKustuta
    54. I don't do facebook but I will be doing Generosity Day! I already have 20 cupcakes in Rarity's colours waiting in the freezer at work, along with a small white-chocolate cake, two mini (blind-bag size) Rarity figurines and a giant brushable Rarity in boots to give away. I also bought a tube of blue icing so I can write 'Generosity Day' or something on the cake. This is going to be so manly my (inexistant) chest-hairs are going to grow chest hairs!

      VastaKustuta
    55. @sotha

      If people here are interested, I'd be willing to GM a PBEM/IRC/forum/whathaveyou game.

      My email is [email protected] if anyone cares for the idea...

      VastaKustuta
    56. @Anonymous

      Well, you're only half right. The Meetup.com group was founded by some fellas from RDN, but this specific meetup was entirely planned by MLPTP members. If the RDN group had planned anything in the OC, I would have been happy to attend!

      I figured it bore mentioning, since people might assume it's all bronies if I didn't specify. :) I hope to see many more SoCal meetups!

      VastaKustuta
    57. Nightmare Moon is Anthy, Twilight is Utena!

      VastaKustuta
    58. My friend and I finally found the Canterlot throw at Target after checking half the stores in the greater Phoenix area. The display looked like it had just been put up today so my recommendation is to give it a couple days and look in the toy department. They are really out there!

      VastaKustuta
    59. Oh... and it makes my bed look 20% cooler!!!!!

      VastaKustuta
    60. Nyx is a BLANK FLANK! HAHAHAHAHAHA

      VastaKustuta
