We are now four episodes into Season Two, and have another two week break ahead of us. I think it's time to poll what you guys think about it! Hit that up on the right side bar.

I might have to do two banners a day from now on to keep up! There are a ton of really good ones.
Have some news.
New PonyKart Game Looking for 3D Modelers/Spriters
There are a few Pony Kart games in progress, but this one is trying to pull off the old Snes style instead of the others focusing on a more 3D look. The team needs more people though. Check out the video for a demo and the facebook page for more information.

Southpark Episode Hoax
Earlier, an image was floating around, and a ton of you sent it my way.
We are pretty much 99% sure it is a hoax. The website it was found on does not actually show the synopsis, and Southpark in general is known for never releasing it early.
I'm just tossing this in here since some of you seem really excited to see it up on EQD! There you go!

headed straight for the ponify
VastaKustutaalso omg, will this be my first "first"!? :o
Yay. First one.
VastaKustutaawww you beat me to it
VastaKustutaNice.
VastaKustutaYou know, as one of the few people who has actually never really enjoyed South Park... I'm not upset that it's most likely a hoax.
VastaKustutaStill, it's probably only a matter of time until it touches on it.
I think 3d modellers are needed more for that game, It isn't using mode7 like sneskart was, it looks like a 3d space with placeholder sprites for the karts.
VastaKustuta*sigh*
VastaKustutaYou kids and your firsts
Btw lovin the banner.
Confound all these breaks between episodes.
VastaKustutaThey drive me to insanity
two weeks!?
VastaKustutaNooooooo, my life is ruined!!
The southpark thing is a fake.
VastaKustutaHmm, I'm checking out Ponify.
VastaKustutaThe art of Rarity doth be called 'Typography', fair Seth.
VastaKustutaYeah, the South Park is a Photoshop... Shame, it would have been awesome, but I guess we avoid the massive increase of hate this way ^^
VastaKustutaAt least an MLP episode of South Park is likely to happen... but yeah, that sounded like a hoax.
VastaKustutaApplejack looks nervous standing next to human Applejack.
VastaKustutathese stand-up ponies look really neat.
VastaKustutaWANT!
Lol going on facebook with ponify on haha
VastaKustutaPonify could be the best thing ever. EVER.
VastaKustutaso i went straight to ponify, and installed, and THEN watched the video.
VastaKustutaI would kinda like to see this guy in voice projest as like, a narrator for a fanfic or something XD
Also, I was UBER excited for the south park thing, I mean, I stopped watching theshow after whatever season had the jonas brothers (long story) but i enjoyed when the did satire about things I loved. I guess I just like laughing at myself (and I have plenty to laugh at) so it's disappointing to see it's not gonna happen. :(
I knew that would be today's Nightly Roundup picture. ^3^
VastaKustutaGuess who's giving up more of their life to Google?
That South Park thins is definitely a hoax -- they write those episodes less than a week in advance, and don't release them until about a day before they air.
VastaKustuta@Dusty the Royal Janitor
VastaKustutaEeyup; only a matter of time before that hoax comes true. And when it does, it will certainly be worth the wait. XD
The waiting has been doubled...
VastaKustutaI'm not sure if the fan polls are representative currently. Maybe it's because Luna Eclipsed aired 2 days ago and is in everyones mind whilst Return of Harmony aired just over a month ago. I wonder if these results will have changed by the end of the season...
@P. Pony Ponyson
VastaKustutaGoogle completely owns mine.
That cake looks too fine to be the truth...
VastaKustutaIt must be a LIE!!!!
I know the South Park thing is fake, but I would be really surprised if they didn't do something on Bronies at some point, even just a quick mention. The South Park guys are very active when it comes to pop culture and something this large would be difficult for them to miss.
VastaKustutaSo far Luna Eclipsed is winning in the favorite Season two episode poll. Big surprise there. :P And yay, lots of banners!
VastaKustutaI was never a big Mario Kart fan admittedly, but I would play a ponified version of it probably. :)
The Ponify browser app is pretty cool. Though even with the tooltips and highlights, I could see myself maybe getting confused once in a while. Plus, I already automatically read things replacing common words with pony variants anyway. Hah. But still, it's cool and a fun idea.
The Pony Archive stats seem pretty nice so far. Over 40k visitors. 80% of whom are from here. Lmao.
Midwest Bronies know how its done! I love the huge pony cardboard cutouts. Too cool.
Wow, that Fluttershy cross stitch is DAMN good for a first time. I wonder what they'll be like after doing a dozen or so more. :P
Whoa... that Rarity. I believe there is a name for these types of art, but it completely escapes me right now. Still, those are really cool.
Ooh, giant chalk Vinyl. But I still see un-ponified cement space. Unacceptable! lol Nah, I'm kidding. That's great. :D
I was thinking the same thing about that Fluttershy cake before even reading what you had typed about it. The lines and surfaces are so smooth and precise. I'm sure there's techniques to do this. But I'm not a cake maker myself. lol That is a real beautifully made cake.
Hmm, a South Park Brony episode. I'm pretty dubious on it myself. But I'm not gonna lie. As a South Park fan, I would love to see this made. I know they'd make a lot of fun of the community, but it'd probably still be pretyu hilarious. It'd probably make me laugh at least. :D
Well two weeks for now, but I've heard that the cartoon will advance to 2x13 until the end of the year, and for that be possible to happen, the actual gap needs to be the last one.
VastaKustutaAnd the South Park thing would be incredible awesome. So bad it's a fake =/
@ Octavia
VastaKustutaSo is it just me that misses Old Luna?
That Rarity is uber impressive.
VastaKustutaThough South Park will most likely get to ponies eventually, that is way to early to be a legit eps.
Well, the actual title of the upcoming South Park episode is "Broadway Bro Down". There's still a chance it might have something to do with bronies, but it's unlikely. But yeah, they will probably do an episode about us at some point.
VastaKustutaWow, I bet one bite of that Fluttershy cake would give you immediate diabetes due its extremely high amount of sweetness! :)
And the Rarity typography... man, some bronies have seriously too much time on their hands. Although this is pretty cool.
@P. Pony Ponyson
VastaKustutaSeems like it. :( lol I'm kidding. I know some others who prefer the old Luna to the new canon one too. Though I like the new one myself. Especially how she speaks. <3
I love that Ponify thing!
VastaKustutaI already installed and it works like a charm.
Also, note the Fluttershy cake says "Welcome to manhood".
Pony = Manly.
No doubt about that.
Two more weeks? Of all possible things, this is THE. WORST. THING!
VastaKustutaSo, how many people have read the message on that Fluttershy cake?
VastaKustutaThat typography Rarity is terrific; I'm also wondering how long that took.
And yeah, "Luna Eclipsed" does have something of an unfair advantage, having been first aired less than 48 hours ago and thus fresh on everyone's mind. Still, I suspect it would win even if we could remove that bias from the poll. I'm just a bit surprised that the two parts of "The Return of Harmony" are polling so poorly.
The Fluttershy cake is made not of icing, but a stiff, gummy paste called fondant. It's sort of the cake maker's version of modeling clay. The baker probably cut out each piece of Fluttershy with a knife.
VastaKustuta@jodyjm13
VastaKustutaI'm not surprised at all. Return of Harmony was, basically, season 1 content; the difference in the quality of writing and animation is pretty clear. That's not at all to put down season 1, but both S2 episodes so far have been just amazing.
That'd be a interesting south park episode if it was real. I'd definitely have to seed it to believe it.
VastaKustutaHeh. That ponify addon will destroy plagiarism amongst the younger bronies, I'm sure.
VastaKustutaEpisode synopsis from SouthParkStudios.com: "After Randy takes Sharon to see a hit musical, he becomes Broadways biggest fan." Considering that M&T have become extremely acquainted with Broadway as of late and usually come up with episode ideas on very short notice, I would take this description at face value.
VastaKustutaThe "My Little Brony" thing is fake. Also, believe it or not I don't think we would make good South Park satire material. At all. Robot Chicken? Sure. A Family Guy gag? Maybe. South Park? It's kind of hard to put into words but Bronies are like the inverse of the sort of thing that M&T use for satire material.

VastaKustuta@ Seth
VastaKustuta"(Flame-shields ACTIVATE!)"
I laughed. I laughed so hard.
For those of you who downloaded Ponify!
VastaKustutaI am a Human and I love human thing because we can sue our hands to pick things up. I like to go and Brofist anyone who is a fellow human.
lets see all the changes shall we?
@D4SHTH3R4INB0W
VastaKustutaJust noticed "anyone" is not changed to "anypony". Might have to change that later.
I love this ponify extension like nothing else XD. Looked up Human on Wikipedia, much hilarity was had.
Got the addon for chrome!
VastaKustutaI wish there weren't so many closet brony's in my state. I don't know who to talk to outside O.o
The "All of them" option is missing in the poll, please fix that.
VastaKustutaImpressive. I'd never had thought of drawing a pony with words.
VastaKustutaOoooh brother.
VastaKustutaYou know, I was going to comment on a few things here and there for the Round Up, especially how awesome the Mareio Kart game looks. But then I reach the bottom and I see the South Park Prank Episode XD
I will say here what I said in Ponibooru. If they actually make that episode, Dave Polsky (Feeling Pinkie Keen, Over a Barrell) who also wrote for South Park, should be the guy writing it.
Dylan is now 20% manlier. Grats bro
VastaKustuta>is looking at this Nightly Roundup liking what there is so far
VastaKustuta>sees that JORDAN RUDESS has recognized ponies
Cue imminent nerdgasm.
I drew the Rarity with words and it only took an hour. Thanks so much for the nice comments!
VastaKustutafinally a translator to this ''english''
VastaKustutai couldnt undertsna d a thing until this showed up :D
Ugghh, two weeks, I was really looking forward to the Rarity/Sweetie Belle episode! Oh well, at least we got Luna!
VastaKustuta<3 Ponify, installed and lol'd
VastaKustutaI miss the old Luna too, don't worry.
Everypony, look up human on wikepedia with ponify installed. Please
VastaKustutaOMG, I'm so glad that a badflank band like DT actually acknowledged that PMV. That's SO AWESOME. /)^3^(\
VastaKustutaRegarding South Park. The first place you'll almost always see the first synopsis pop up is on the South Park Website.
VastaKustutaWell of course everypony looks like normal, average furries, why wouldn't they?
VastaKustuta@top image: ALFALFA MONSTER!!! BLEGH!!!
VastaKustutaHeadless Pinkiemann.
VastaKustutaIn that vinyl scratch chalk drawing that one brony is wearing that cool red hat. Of course it is not as cool as my red hat and now I must do something brony related so I can get a picture of me wearing it one the site.
VastaKustutaChallengeaccepted.jpg
Argh! I can't decide
VastaKustutaJust a comment on the poll:
VastaKustutaAs much as I enjoyed Luna, I have to say that Lesson Zero is my favorite episode so far.
'm seriously against this "ponyfy" thing. If there's one thing I can agree with trolls on, it's how absurd the whole escapism part is.
VastaKustutaIt's fine to have an imagination. It's not ok for it to go out of control...
That's TvGuide.com btw. I'll check it right now.
Oh look everyponies voting Luna Eclipsed!
VastaKustutaNotsurprised.jpg
I hope they don't skip episodes each week it's too painful to wait :(
VastaKustuta....and ya Luna eclipsed is my favorite episode, well it's because I like Luna sooooooooooo much!
oh! and Celestia too :D
I voted Lesson Zero, I liked it more.
VastaKustutaI'm going to sit back and consider that it was leaked by somepony that works on the show, and just couldn't leak properly... so just did the next best thing.
VastaKustutaSo if I'm a brony (/pegasister/whatever...) and a trekkie, what does that make me?
VastaKustutaAs for the ponify addon... While it looks well-done I can't exactly say I suppost it. Keep the ponified words to fansites and fanfiction.
My icons are ponies, my chrome theme is ponies, my folders have ponies, even the words are now ponified... But my wallpaper is still a M60. I'm never gonna change it.
VastaKustutaThere is a such thing as a cake printer. However, any designs put on a cake that way would ruin the cake as it is too focused on looks and not nearly enough on taste changing most if not all cakes they are used on from their respective indented favours.
VastaKustuta....wow. I'm actually not looking forward to the weekend as much because there's no new pony. Eh, I'll give it time. Also, what the hell, Seth? You listed Return of Harmony parts 1 and 2 separately? You want me to pick one?
VastaKustuta*looks at the cross-stitch* Well, at least my morning is full of squee now.
I think the poll is already showing that the older an episode is the less popular it is. So I dunno how reliable the result will be. I wonder what the result would be if we were polled for all of season one's episodes instead?
VastaKustutaDELICIOUS STATISTICS.
Wow, my Applebloom vector is the one that they printed. I feel so pleased now. I know I can print her like that XD
VastaKustutaIf that southpark Ep does show up, i'll watch it haha
@Chase
VastaKustutaOh oh oh, THEN we could compare which character is liked the most with the popularity of the episodes!
Wait, two week break? So three weeks before more pony? Darn... I thought just next weekend was ponyless.
VastaKustutaThat augmented reality add-on...it is insidious! Funny as the wiki pages become, try the "Orangutan Culture Develops Like Pony Culture" article on wired (it's on the front page). You could really believe it was written by a pony scholar...
VastaKustuta>Favorite Season Two Episode So Far?
VastaKustutanooooo, dont make me choose! they were all so goood...
@anonycus Why? They made a whole episode about the Pokemon craze once, as well as facebook and other things, so why not MLP?
VastaKustutaBig surprise, everyone voted for the most recent episode. I'd say you guys are like goldfishes but I don't think that fish enjoy Pizza Hut.
VastaKustuta"So you Think Your a Brony Episode 11"
VastaKustutaGrammar is an important part of this balanced breakfast, Seth.
I wouldn't actually mind an MLP episode of South Park, just to see how 'bad' the satire got. Particularly with the new direction they've gone this season.
VastaKustutaI love watching South Park, but I doubt they would do an entire episode on my Little Pony, maybe a sketch or a reference but not an entire episode... even if Trey and Matt are Bronies. If that was true though, the world would be a brighter place.
VastaKustutaMidwest Brony Meetup had the sweetest ponified standups ever. It was seriously awesom.
VastaKustutaAlso can't wait to try this ponify thang.
Also: @40387d3e-cd3f-11e0-b87b-000bcdcb8a73
...wat?
@NikitaDarkstar
VastaKustutaIt makes you twice as cool.
(Sorry, I know the meme is "20% cooler", but that won't cut it in this instance.)
Man! I wish I knew where that midwest brony thing was!!!!! :(
VastaKustutaAccording to South Park's website, the new episode is called "Broadway Bro Down". It would be interesting if they made a MLP episode, but this fandom isn't nearly as known as Pokémon was at the time.
VastaKustutaFiM is animation with musical numbers and comedy, and it does all 3 with great success. If M&T didn't like the show it'd be the pot calling the kettle black. Though a Southpark ep would spare neither bronies or brony-haters, they would likely have only respect for FiM itself.
VastaKustutaI hope it isn't a hoax, but it totally is.
i am so going to forget that i have ponify installed and wonder why everyone is suddenly talking about ponies
VastaKustutaThis Ponify add-on is pretty hilarious. Adds a good bit of humor to the Internet (like it needed more). I shall keep.
VastaKustutaOn two completely unrelated topics, anyone ever notice that one could easily align the Mane 6 with the Clue guests (adjusting for gender, obviously)?
Twilight Sparkle - Professor Plum
Rainbow Dash - Mrs. Peacock
Pinkie Pie - Miss Scarlet
Applejack - Colonel Mustard
Rarity - Mrs. White
Fluttershy - Ms. Green
Secondly, and I'm sure I'm not the only one making this connection, but Equestria really seems like it'd fit perfectly as a Dungeons & Dragons campaign setting, either that, or a Magic: The Gathering set cycle. Hasbro does own Wizards of the Coast, so it could easily happen.
I have the oddest mental image of Pinkie Pie inviting Optimus Prime, Elminster, and Jace Beleren to a game of Clue now.
We are now four episodes into Season Two, and have another two week break ahead of us. I think it's time to poll what you guys think about it! Hit that up on the right side bar.
VastaKustutaI little tad early as many of us are still awaiting a clean version to pop up.
p.s. Confound the internet it always find a way to spoil my ponies.
South Park on ponies. That doesnt sound good...
VastaKustutaI have been properly Ponified.
VastaKustutaPonify isn't playing nice with firefox 8 for me :(
VastaKustutaAutor on selle kommentaari eemaldanud.
VastaKustutaI would buy a truck just to put that Twilight standee in the back.
VastaKustuta@jodyjm13 The coolness has been doubled! :D
VastaKustutaThat app and those standees are SO AWESOME!
VastaKustutaI need a pony standee. Now.
Ponify. Aww yeah.
VastaKustutaAlso, I agree, I want those cut-outs..
I had to re watch the Mareo Kart vid in HD to to realize they put Luna in a MOON ROVER!!!
VastaKustutaTHIS IS SO MUCH WIN!!! I APPROVE!!!
"So You Think Your A Brony"
VastaKustuta>see this
>rage like the grammar Nazi I am
OH DEAR CELESTIA SOUTH PARK WAS TRULY FANTASTIC!!!
VastaKustuta--
--
*** SPOILER ALERT IF YOU HAVE NOT WATCHED SOUTH PARK ***
--
Randy takes Sharon to a broadway musical...
By the end of the episode, Randy and the men of South Park are attempting to write their own musical, and end up in a "Bro-down" against Stephen Sondheim!
No ponies, but it did have Stephen Sondheim as a "bro", and Randy dressed as Spiderman trying to stop his daughter from being brainwashed into giving her new boyfriend a blow job. There was only one fatality.
LOLOL!!!
I don't know if anybrony's already said it, but we only have a one week break this time, thank Celestia & Luna. If it was two weeks, I'd be pissed the hell off.
VastaKustuta
