Independent Game Studio Opens Auditions for Voice Acting Roles
Have some copy paste:
Aiming high, Gentlecolt Collaborations, the studio responsible for the upcoming game "My Little Pony: Love is Magic", is opening auditions for voice actors to fill the roles of the game's main characters.
The game, based on the increasingly popular "My Little Pony" franchise, hopes to draw upon the show's ancillary adult fan-base for talent. Committed to the quality of their game, the studio has even spun-off "Equestrial Sound and Magic", a new division dedicated exclusively to the voice acting process. This new division is lead by Victor Frost, a seasoned audio engineer and professional podcaster.
"Being fans of the show ourselves, we're really excited to get other fans involved in the production of this game," says Mr. Frost, "We hope that working on this project can be a solid stepping stone for amateur voice actors to discover their talents and maybe even use this as a launching pad into their professional careers.
For more information on the game, visit HTTP://www.gentlecolts.org

Winter Wrap-up Fanwork exchange!
Sign up and full out the form (what you're requesting and what you're willing to do). And when Signups are done, the mods match everyone together. You get and give one thing. Signups go through the 16th of December and all fanworks will be due for posting on the last day of winter, March 19th, 2012.
Signups are at: http://winter-wrapup.livejournal.com/1414.html
More info and specifics on the LJ comm. It just opened and we're trying to spread the word! We're trying to make it accessible even to bronies who aren't on LJ a lot. We're using it as a coordination site, but posting to places like devart, ffn, or FIMfiction are totally cool. We've made the requirements pretty attainable and there is a ton of time. We hope it'll be something fun for everyone!

VastaKustutaHmm.....nice
VastaKustutaSweet! Thanks Seth! :D
VastaKustutaSomebody cosplayed as Tom in Australia? EPIC!
VastaKustutaWoot, go CartoonLion!!!
VastaKustutaDat Banner and Warhammer Derpy are both full of win
Ahhhh!!! y must there always be an aliance pony guild but not on my eerver!!! :<<<<
VastaKustutaRarispy here, The Supanova Australia meetup was SO AWESOME!
VastaKustutaWish I could have gone to supanova
VastaKustuta*sigh*
Maybe next year...
#BecauseOfMLP I was introduced to so many new things, from music to friends :D
VastaKustuta@Tylendal
VastaKustutaThis is perfect for me. Right before I go to bed. Usually when it's posted it's in the morning and I usually skip it because I hate everything in the morning.
Hey. It's a brony article that actually mentions that Friendship is Magic is supposedly a well-written show. It always bugs me how many fail to mention that.
VastaKustutaYet more pony media coverage? That's pretty damn cool. And yet, somewhere out there, the editor of Top Gear Magazine is putting on some hipster glasses and reclining in his chair.
VastaKustutaA nightly roundup at 5 past midnight? What is Sethisto on, and why isn't he sharing? >:I
VastaKustutaSilly timer, don't you know that this was uploaded at midnight not 1 o'clock?
VastaKustutayou are not a true man until you can use a Warderp
VastaKustutaon the other hoof...
ლ(ಠ益ಠლ)
SETH WHY YOU POST EARLY
never any meet ups near me. but if i can find a good camera (one that ain't my phone) I'm gonna upload the Great And Powerful Trixie and Starswirl The Bearded costumes a friend and I made.

VastaKustuta@DeeperMadness
VastaKustutaIt's really crazy lately hah
Damn Supernova. Why'd all the cool stuff have to happen on the Sunday instead of the Saturday?
VastaKustutaI doubt this will actually be shown since all of my comments are randomly being deleted, but I'll try regardless.
VastaKustutaDerpy certainly is a dangerous, blunt force weapon.
Yay for having more music radios to listen to, Celestia radio is the only one I know of right now. Anypony else care to add any other pony music radios?
@Sethisto
VastaKustutay so early? I mean I'm not usually awake at 3am but still... sometimes I don't even see the nightly roundup when I wake up! I actually kinda like this though. For once I'm awake for it!
@Nightly Roundup
Curses... Almost wish I played WoW again so I can find a serious pony based guild and laugh up on Vent.
Also *whistle* awesome meetups, awesome banner, awesome warderp, awesome media coverage, awesome news... this roundup is awesome. It's got RD all over it. aka awesome. Am I rambling? I ramble when I'm tired. Or hyper. Figure that one out.
Oh my God, I totally live about seven miles from that VA Beach meetup. I am so there.
VastaKustutaDat Tom cosplayer.
VastaKustuta@Aesahaettr-
VastaKustutaLeague of legends :x
Ahh I was totally at Supanova and didn't know about this! Curses!
VastaKustuta@Jelfes
VastaKustutaEverFree Radio has a PonyStream with occasional live DJing, usually taking requests from the EqD IRC.
Speaking of EverFree Radio, the episode review should have been posted in the Nightly Roundup. I apparently went through the trouble of getinng it posted quickly for nothing.
Roundup before 3am? Zounds! And a long one too!
VastaKustutaThat is an AWESOME Ponygeist poster! Just, wow! In other news, pony music is best music!
@Nash Thanks!
VastaKustutaD: I missedededed the Supernova Brony meet up!!!!
VastaKustutaha ... I took that supanova pic. I'M SO HAPPY I COULD PEE!!!
VastaKustuta@Damo Does that imply you can only pee whilst happy?
VastaKustutaYa know, if you do have a slow night like tonight, you could always give some of the Nightly News articles their own posts...
VastaKustutaI'm sure my artists would love it...
Hint, hint...
Futashy is two clicks away from Equestria Daily...
VastaKustuta=p
@taco There's much worse things than that that could be found with that many clicks from EqD, all of which have disclaimers that warn about the content ahead.
VastaKustutaYou really made CL the artist of the weak, I mean week? You got to be fucking shitting us Seth.
VastaKustutaSeth confirmed for Futafan.
Like this <- don't click it your not missing out on much, OR are you?
VastaKustuta@Bobbyzero
VastaKustutaAlright, maybe I sounded like a dick, but come on. I thought this site operated under the assumption that show creators frequent it. Do you really want them to see the bulk of CL's art portfolio?
Artist of the week isn't run by me!
VastaKustuta@Sethisto
VastaKustutaMy apologies for the assumption Seth. As a frequenter of Ponibooru, I have seen many thumbnails of CL art that I can't ever "unsee". Its...difficult to have her represent the Brony art community.
Honestly, all I've seen of CartoonLion's work has been NSFW. VERY NSFW.
VastaKustutaStrange to see her featured. But she is a good artist... Just one that does a lot of stuff I don't think would be recognized by EqD.
@Discord
VastaKustutaYou have just opened my eyes to how dangerous my curisoity can be.
And for that Discord, I thank you
THANKING DISCORD!!!
I must have been teleported to backwards land!!!
I gota get home!!!
@Bobbyzero
VastaKustutaSeth didn't do the interviews. I did. If you have a problem with my artists, my email is right there, give me a ring.
However, know this: I stick by my artists and all their works. I base my decision on the merits of their artistic talents. And CartoonLion is extremely talented, one of the best. I will provide access to all of my artist's works, and I will create warnings and disclaimers for works that are not appropriate for everyone. However, I will not censor art. As a journalist, that is against everything I stand for.
@Sethisto
VastaKustutaNinja!

VastaKustutaRainbow Dash in the front row of the Supanova meetup here... who was looking down when the photo was taken. Yay. Nevertheless, it was awesome! Totally psyched to see that pic here!
VastaKustutaThe world at large already thinks we're a bunch of sick demented fucks. Her "art" no matter how "arty", does not help our cause brother, not at all. All art has a right to exist, but some should be kept out of the limelight.
VastaKustutaFor instance, imagine a journalist from the New York Times doing research into ponydom for an upcoming article. Lets check out the hub of pony info, EqD. Hey, featured artist? Lets check her out. *click*...*click*...Oh gawd!!!! The hell is this! *Commence total article re-write*
Guy with the glasses on the very left in the Supanova meetup here! THAT WAS THE BEST. DAY. EVER! We had the lot of us singing 'Equestria Girls' and 'Winter Wrap Up Song' in the middle of the crowd and later got up on stage to play 'B.Y.O.B.' in 'Rock Band 3'. It was amazing!
VastaKustutahttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iO4j9D_oZlo
I threw my cello on the ground! I ain't apart of your system!
VastaKustuta*ahem* Anyway...
Yet another pony game? Whew, seems like there's a new one every other week now. Or more. Can't keep track of the vast amounts of pony games. lol
I want a Derpy warhammer so I can crush TV's and other assortment electronics and appliances! Haha.
Some nice pony cosplays in those meetup photos. I especially like the Tom in the first one and the mustached Spike in the second. XD
Yup, more articles. When new up and coming fandoms like this start getting more popular, a lot of agencies and businesses like to do stories on them. Especially in cases like Bronies. They're interesting to many people in some form or another. This certainly isn't the first fandom it's happened to, and you can be sure it won't be the last.
Oooh, someone went and had a large Ponygeist banner printed up. Wonder how much it cost.
A scientific podcast that tries to explain scientifically the ponies and how aspects of them and their world function? Uh-oh. lol Though I agree with him, some things can be somewhat scientifically explained. To extents. Though obviously it's hard to really prove any theories you have on it. :P
TIMELORDZ, FULL EPISODE LENGTH, FANMADE
VastaKustutasomuchwantsomuchwantsomuchwantsomuchwantsomuchwantsomuchwantsomuchwantsomuchwantsomuchwantsomuchwant
Science? SCIENCE? SCIENCE!!
Ponies and Science, my 2 favorite things to go on about
Bronygamerz!
YESH, something to fill the infinitely empty void in the in-betweem.
@Bobbyzero Luckily you don't have to worry about reports being done on that section of the fandom because of Rule #34 which, quite clearly, states that if it exists, then there's pornography of it, no exceptions. Pokemon, Simpsons, and news reporters, it doesn't matter how ridiculous it is, which is exactly why The Simpsons and Pokemon viewers aren't all reported as a bunch of creeps that spend all day looking at that kind of content.
VastaKustuta@Jelfes
VastaKustuta*and even
WOOT! My War Derp got posted! My day has been made!
VastaKustutaSeth, you may not run artist of the week, but you are still ultimately responsible for the content published on your site. I like a lot of drawings CL has done, and her talent is not the issue at stake. Nobody will deny CL's skill. But the fact is that she has also drawn some of the most...deviant things in this fandom, and you are not doing us any favors by telling everyone about goddamn futaquestria.
VastaKustutaAnd haha Jelfes, The Simpsons is a show with broad mainstream appeal, of course they can't characterize the fanbase like that. We are not, and the adult male->young girls->sexual deviant connection is there even in people who haven't seen the R34.
@Ghandi 2 Must I repeat my mentioning of Pokemon? Let me think of some more that aren't reported as a bunch of porn addicts. Power Puff Girls, Naruto(though I don't watch anime), My Life as a Teenage Robot, and countless more that I care not to think of.
VastaKustutaHonestly, you're making something of nothing. Not to be disrespectful/rude, but I really don't think this will do a single thing to how we're viewed.
Ah, people arguing over rule34 in the fandom, sure brings back memories of another certain fandom. But seriously, if rulw34 bugs people so much, why in Celestia's name are they browsing ponibooru with mature filter off? :p
VastaKustutaI for one am all for CL as the AotW. She has plenty of good, quality, SFW pony art on her DA, and if one somehow is scarred by her work, chances are it is ones own darned fault. :p
Also, Derpy doesn't have a warhammer, Seth. Derpy IS the warhammer!
I really want to stand up for CartoonLion, but links to all that futa? Really? Disclaimer or not, I just don't think that should have been involved. CL has plenty of other worthwhile work.
VastaKustutaTom cosplayer gets all my internets. I was saving those, but he deserves them.
Is anyone else doing the Winter Wrap-up exchange? It sounds fun!
As much as I would love to smash these artists with my war derp, anyone who points at them saying we are deviants will have their own childhood raped by some other artist a few clicks later.
VastaKustutaYay for the Tom Cosplay and the spectacular Octavia picture.
VastaKustutaAlso, today has been a rather crazy day hasn't it? There has been much heated discussion over a lot of different things. Oh my.
You guys do know that there are ALOT of school age children that visit this site, I know this for a fact. Do you honestly think they won't click a link because there is a warning label?
VastaKustuta@Bobbyzero The best lessons learned are those you learn from personal experience. If anything, making the mistake of not taking the given warning to heart is one of the best they could learn early in life.
VastaKustutaObviously, my saying that makes me seem like I don't care about their mental stability/condition, I think it's safe to say, for me at least, it won't have that great an effect on them. The way I was introduced to pornography? I was 5 at the time, at my friends house with my sister who was significantly older than me. She goes on the computer, and, for whatever reason, looks up some porn and gets my friend to watch it, then telling me to come over there and asks me what I think the phallic object I see is. Obviously, it was a male's member. I knew exactly what it was, so, no, don't go saying it didn't affect me because I didn't understand, because I did. I'm not asking for empathy(hopefully no sympathy), mind you, just giving you my analysis of how that stuff will affect someone at such a young age.
My point being, live and let live.
If Seth really thought this stuff would endanger the fandom then he wouldn't post/allow it. If someone decides they want to ignore blatant and simple warnings then that's there own fault, regardless of age.
Haha random God Tier John in that Supernova convention.
VastaKustutaJohn Joseco should be the Artist Of The Infinite Revolution Of Time.
VastaKustuta@Temporal Walker
VastaKustutaBut according to Bobbyzero, John shouldn't be considered because he also does adult pony art as well.
A My Little Time Lord series in the works? Color me amazed, this fandom is really touching unexperienced heights by the week.
VastaKustutaYoumacon was so much fun. I loved the pony bling in Artist Alley and Friendship is Music. I'm not in the photo because I didn't have a costume. Maybe next year. I was the one slinking behind the maker of the awesome Pinkie Pie plush.
VastaKustutaGreat Nightly ;)
VastaKustutaI'd have to say that Dr. Henry Killinger knows his way around an interview.
@Jelfes
VastaKustutaSo I'm not the only one having that problem?
Lazarus is your friend. I've recovered quite a few long comments that somehow disappeared when I tried to post.
does anyone know what a pegasister is?
VastaKustutaI'm the Pinkie Pie with super curly hair in the first row of the Youmacon pic!
VastaKustutaThere were SO MANY people there! These are just the ones in pony costumes!
@Sunbell
VastaKustutaA term sometimes used for adult female fans of MLP:FiM; it's usually used by people who fear that 'brony' appears to be male-centric, even though most of the fandom accepts it as a gender-neutral term.
Become a brony.
VastaKustutaCreate a melee weapon based on a background character.
I love this fandom. You guys just keep surprising me.
Argh! I wish I still lived in Columbus. My old apartment used to be right down the road from where they are having their meetup.
VastaKustutaThe Kidscreen article is inadequate in the description as to what motivates the MLP:FIM fandom. It suggests that our activities revolve around making PMV's by matching movie trailer audio with sequences from FIM. For the business people looking for markets, that makes us very uninteresting. I think it's also inaccurate. in one of my 100 Prompts questions, I asked the 70 members of my community to state their favorite movie or product PMV. There were no answers. I couldn't come up with one either.
VastaKustutaWoW guilds... Y U ALL ALLIANCE?
VastaKustutaAlso: No pony merch today? Weird.
Hey, I'm the Tom cosplayer at Supanova, was super fun! Very fun seeing the looks of complete confusion on the faces of people who don't watch ponies, and the recognition on those that do. And everyone else that I met over the weekend was super awesome and convinced me that ponies are the best thing ever.
VastaKustutaIf anyone particularly wants a closer look at the cosplay, I've got a few shots on my deviantART account, one of which is here: http://claveslayer.deviantart.com/art/Tomplay-2-267520985
oh HAI CL is AotW = wow that's quite suprise
VastaKustutalinks to her dA and FlutterDashPie tumblr = it's ok
links to NSFW futa blogs = WTF!? EqD and something related with NSFW O_O even with the warnings (lol no one look at them even btw)... there is plenty of artists with beautiful MLP art and you picked CL... 100% shirstorms everywhere
next AotW must be Megasweet or Slugbox + can't wait for special NSFW Drawfriend Stuff edition of course with warning for youngsters and I hope that there will be Lauren Faust OC pictures included, because everyone remember how much fun and positive comments those pic had
Wait you provide links to her porn stuff!? Ok it's one think to link her normal art but you don't have to go providing links to porn! Why can't there ever be any good artist that don't draw nasty stuff too?
VastaKustutaPicture of Sweetie Belle running laps around Rarity's boutique, tracking poop everywhere? Deleted off EqD due to a mix of "gross" and "please think of the children"
VastaKustutaArtist draws Fluttershy with a massive penis, and has her use it on anything with a pulse? Perfectly okay. In fact, let's link directly to the porn, because I'm pretending to be a journalist full of journalistic integrity, and not linking to it would be censorship of the arts.
What the hell. I can't figure this out anymore.
I'm gonna give seth the benefit of the doubt. he probably was too busy to read the linked article at the moment. and he didn't make the decision to have the links in question even in place.
VastaKustutado like CL, but she has been doing a lot more porn than she used to now, and that's a bit of a shame, because her normal stuff was really great.
Huh, I know quite a few artists who could very well easily be "AOW"
VastaKustutaLet's write an awesome email about it.
Is it me or does the blog have a safety word device now?
VastaKustutaPeople complaining that Seth linked to an interview which doesn't actually have NSFW artwork in it and only contains links with huge obnoxious warnings that tell you not to click on something if you aren't prepared for it?
VastaKustutaI'm so outraged that I am right now writing an angry letter to Seth. I'll send it out as soon as I finish writing to Google because when I type "porn" into the search bar those bastards at Google have the nerve to give out porn-related results.
I wonder why everyone is so upset about CartoonLion being the artist of the week?
VastaKustutaThe way I see it, this blog's no-nsfw policy is to make it so that people who don't want to be exposed to that kind of stuff are not.
Considering that EqD did not link directly to anything nsfw, and that anything nsfw has a huge red warning in front of it, I don't see the problem.
I really don't. If someone could explain to me what exactly the problem is, I'd be appreciative.
@PD
VastaKustutawow rly? Now I'm more confused @_@
@PD
VastaKustutaMmmh... a sexually related subject OR a shitty(in more than one way) and humiliating subject... SUCH and hard choice isn't it ?
The knight in shining armor is that way mister. 3-->
TOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
VastaKustutaThat picture from Youmacon is /just/ the cosplayers. That was from an event of 150/200 ponies and 300/350 ponies showed up for the event.
VastaKustutaI'm the guy who started the MLP theme song sing-along when technology failed, for those of you who were there. ^^
Brony > Pegasister
VastaKustutaAre these people really so picky that they must use some other name?
A mouthful at that? Really, people.
Not that I play WoW anymore, but dang, why so many Alliance guilds... you would think they would want to be Tauren.
VastaKustutaWow, someone actually cosplayed as Roboshi!
VastaKustutaThat's awesome.
Ultimately, the validity of any argument declaring outrage over R34 ponies is greatly undermined by the fact that, this. is. the. Internet. For quite some time now, it has been rife with porn of all types. I'm willing to bet that most all sites are within 6 clicks of something NSFW.
VastaKustutaTrying to argue, then, that an innocent child might inadvertently view something tawdry, should be seen as silly. This is the internet, of course they are going to see sleaze, that's most probably why they are here in the first place. If you think that by NOT having a link to a link to a link will prevent someone determined to see something from seeing it, then you greatly underestimate determination. If you argue that you would not like to be exposed to it, because of your values; then be consoled by the fact that it takes effort and willful action to access it.
I am more convinced that this is not about protecting the passerby from being inadvertently assaulted by something disgusting against their will, but about forcing your own stigma and perceptions on to others.
Now on to more enjoyable matters. I would like to thank Killinger for taking the time to put together the AotW. I always enjoy seeing new art and artists C:. It's also good to see more of everything lol, more news stories, more brony meetups, more complex projects on the horizon, more of everything! As always, a big thanks to Seth and everypony who take out tremendous time from their lives to keep this whole site going. :D Tip of the hat to you all!
Why me? First I missed the Crossville, TN meetup, now theres a Shreveport, LA meetup? I just moved from Shreveport not 4 months ago!
VastaKustutaI approve of these two news articles! Unlike the previous one, their bias does not overtake the actual message. (While it may be more positive it is still a bias nonetheless). Now, I have no way of verifying this but I'm pretty sure bronies are more than just a "small portion" of the people who enjoy MLP. Between the actual target audience, their mother's (who aren't fanatic enough to be labeled bronies but still accept FiM as a quality show) and bronies I'd say we're all on equal footing for representation.
VastaKustutaAlso, pegasisters? Really? Come on, gender was never an issue here.
Everything CL makes is distubingly cute, including the porn.
