• Nightly Roundup #55

    by
    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

    7. VsinAugust 2, 2011 at 4:16 AM

      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.

      @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...

      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. :)

      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.

      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.

      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.

      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!

      @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...
