• Nightly Roundup #122

    I labeled this as "Sparklydash" on my source list for drawfriend earlier, and spent a good 45 seconds stumped when I couldn't find the TwilightxDash image to go with it. 

    Have some news!

    See that pumpkin?  It's awesome. 

    I'm running a pumpkin event a bit closer to Halloween, so save your stuff for that!

    I also want to do a Halloween banner thing, since me and Cereal totally lack the time to make banners these days.   Let me know if you guys would be interested in something like that in comments!


    Rainbow Dash Invades Russia



    That city looks so clean aside from the graffiti. I need to go to Russia some time.

    Rainbow Dash Case Mod


    I'm actually building a computer soon. Maybe I should cut out some Trixie on the side? Or maybe I'll just toss a picture of her up there... That would be much easier.

    Have a gallery for more images of it!

    1. You forgot the QnA video, Seth.

    2. That Dashie on the wall needs to be around 120% bigger!

      ReplyDelete
    3. I was the one that asked Jayson where ponies get their glue in the Q&A :v

      ReplyDelete
    4. Halloween stuff sounds like a good idea. Is it going to be a banner contest or just a new banner?
      Sure they're recolors but they're also the doll ver. of some blindbag characters.

      ReplyDelete
    5. That's one big chalk Rainbow Dash...

      I've got a feeling that somepony's going to make an awesome CMC Halloween banner, just feelin' it.

    6. Has there actually been any post on EQ so far about ponies in stores in the UK? I know a while back it was mentioned that they will be heading over to the UK, but I can confirm that they ARE here, in case people don't know. Maybe there has been a post about it already and I missed it, someone lemme know.

      But either way, there are many G4 ponies in my local Tesco and Toys R Us now, including that oh-so-rare 4-pack of figures of Twilight, Dash, Rarity and Pinkie.

    7. Ooh, Trixie pumpkin. Nice. And a pumpkin event, you say? Well, I'm interested. Though admittedly, I haven't carved a pumpkin in a long time.

      Huh, that Rainbow Dash they used on the side of the building looks like a giant sticker. We have similar things on the walls here. Same size too it looks like. Cool. :) And I don't mind some graffiti. It can look quite nice and artful. :D

      Nice Rainbow Dash case. I'm surprised I haven't seen more of these yet really. I know all the big computer builders and customizers are around. ;) And I know a few companies that do absolutely fantastic work with custom cut cases.

      A chalk pony is fine too~ And a giant one no less. Some one will probably 1-up this eventually too. Just watch.

      Inafter others mentioning the missing Q&A session with Jayson. :P But yeah, throw that in there at some point, Seth. ;)

      Yup, saw some of those new recolors just earlier in a Target.

      The Rainbow Dash oil painting... they just had to take a shot of her plot. Now I can't look at it without instantly thinking "dat plot". lol

    12. Needs to be a pony Minecraft mod apart from that weird one which changes your avatar.

    13. I need to find some bronies around here. I have no idea how though. :(

    15. Pumpkin ponies, I think that is the last art form that we had to combine with ponies. I think we are done now until they build a laser powerful enough to tag the moon with Luna's face.

      ReplyDelete
    16. Regarding the Freaky Friday part of the post, I should direct some of you guys to a fic called "To Trot A Mile In Another's Hooves", featuring Applejack and Rainbow Dash taking on a bet where they have to switch places. It's a really good read. :)

    17. Go russia and go those chalk drawings :D

      ReplyDelete
    18. Looking at those Pony recolors, I'm kind of annoyed at how lazy Hasbro is being (even though I own no pony toys at all). I don't blame them for opting for simple recolors on the toys themselves since the sculpts are not all that unique anyway, but what excuse is there for just recoloring the pictures of Rarity, Dash, Cheerilee and such on the box? Take the 15 minutes to have an artist draw a different mane on the illustrations (since the doll hair on the toy will never match it anyway) and suddenly it actually looks like a new character rather than a color-shifted copy.

      ReplyDelete
    19. Russian is not country. It is lifestyle.
      BTW. This pumpkin is awesome. Good work for author.

      ReplyDelete
    20. I wrote a story weeks ago that would have fit incely into that freaky Friday event.

      But the prereaders rejected it so... yeah...

      ReplyDelete
    21. Can't really read the names on those new pony toys.
      I managed to make out "Honeybuzz" "Feathermay" and "Plumsweet", but I can't figure out the other three.

      They're quite pretty tho. :3

    22. Oh my God I want that white re-colour of Pinkie Pie! It looks adorable!!!

      I expected you to carve a Trixie pumpkin for Halloween. That would be all shades of awesome Seth if you do that.

      I'm actually interested on the Halloween Banner thingie, I might try something out and send it your way.

      Also, Fallout New Vegas mods? I gotta see if they run on the Xbox 360.

      I'm guessing this is the one. I will leave this here while Seth gets his much deserved sleep ^_^;

    24. You think that city looked clean? Wow, the US must look sh*t. You should come to Norway sometime.

      Eeyup, I was JUST about to comment with that same link.

      You dun goof'd Seth! =)

      Oh, and I'm gonna come out and admit it here: Big Macintosh is best secondary pony. I just wish they didn't kill his character, taking him from being Applejack's experienced (and "wise") older brother to a catchphrase-repeating "+1" character, but here's hoping he gets some redemption (however small) in the future.
      Seriously, I can't even call that guy a background pony. He MUST be secondary by this stage! :P

      Fan in-jokes about liking specific characters too much aside, yeah, that's probably the right link considering it's the best out of all of them. Best video quality (and frame rate!), clearest audio, and it actually spans the entire session.

    26. That giant chalk pony is literally right outside my dorm. It's pretty great.

      ReplyDelete
    27. I'm still waiting for Pony sightings at the Occupy Wall St. protests.

      ReplyDelete
    28. I just noticed that the pink Dash recolor has an orange parrot. That imposter stole Dash's pet! That's why she never had one in Season 1!

      ReplyDelete
    29. Hasbro!! Y U NO make show accurate toys!!!

    30. Seth, Seth, Seth! What are the specs of your rig? Tell us!

    31. HI! I just realized that if you tried to register on EverfreeForest.com, the reCAPTCHA was derped. It's fixed now. Sorry!! We had changed domains earlier and I forgotten to update that.

    34. I want the fluttershy iPhone case but they only made it for the 4 and 4s iPhones... =(

      I has a 3G still........

    35. Runescape? Oh nostalgia... so many wasted hours (days)(115 day's worth. You can check) of preteen time...

      ReplyDelete
    36. Heh. You know, I was actually going to write that story... a Freaky Friday crossover with Rarity and Applejack switching places on the day that Rarity would have a meeting with Hoity Toity and on the day Applejack would star in a Rodeo. But I guess if everybody is going to be doing it (probably better than I could) I might as well leave it to the others and focus on one of my other crossover ideas.

      Besides, there's probably no way I could do anything in one chapter, less than 15 pages...

      ReplyDelete
    37. That pumpkin, case mod and chalk drawings were pretty darn cool

      ReplyDelete
    38. I know a Carnegie Mellon brony, and I suspect that she's currently omigosh-ing over those chalk ponies. They're so awesome!

      ReplyDelete
    39. Oh my god! My pony pumpkin has made it to Equestria Daily! Why am I the last person to know this? I'm finding out about my own pumpkin on facebook. Regaurdless...I am pleased :D

      ReplyDelete
    40. I hope those russian artist guys had premission to put RD on that building, or that it wasn't owned by anyone.

      As for the city looking clean to quote that one character from Yugioh Zexal "There's an underside to everything"

      You only saw the back of one building after all...

      ReplyDelete
    41. So... Was there a video or not? Because if that interview video happened, I don't see it in this post.

      ReplyDelete
    42. I guess that I am going to stop by CMU tomorrow, in order to see if they are still there.

    43. Target in La Crosse, WI has re-color ponies in stock, for those who care.

      Also, our regional store, Shop-Ko, has the Pinkie Pie ornaments for $14.
