• Nightly Roundup #158

    Apparently this is from Lauren Faust's new short series. 

    Or not. Oh well, It's a cool gif anyway.

    I figure EQD Already deals with enough unicorns, ponies, and princesses, so why not go all the way? Check out the clip for that here.

    And in other news, Mixermike (The creator of that Fluttershy Banner) Just got out of the hospital.  Go toss him some support! 

    Have some pony news!



    Super Smash Brothers: Brony Edition Project


    More crazy game mods are under way. This one focuses on bringing ponies to Super Smash Brothers Brawl.

    Check out their blog here! So far they have a simple Rainbow Dash model that still needs animation.


    SKYRIM Mods

    Yep, the floodgates have been OPENED. Citizens of Skyrim are about to be completely dominated by the pony armada. So far we have two new ones. Check them out below!

    Houston Brony Meetup Report


    Another meetup recently went down over in Houston. I think the highlight of this one is the giant Rainbow Dash.

    Check out their gallery here, and facebook page here!

    They have a video too, but their email has like 30 images in it and keeps freezing my laptop, so I guess look for it on their facebook page!


    BroNYCon Donation Drive

    Have some Copy Paste:

    As you may know, Tinker's Lab (a.k.a. BroNYCon HQ) had to move on short notice. This has, to put it mildly, screwed with my budget something fierce. Therefore, I am opening a new donation drive, with some amazing prizes.

    From now until December 1, I am accepting donations for a special raffle drive. For every $5 you donate, you get one raffle entry (so if you give $50, you get ten times the chance to win). The prizes are as follows:

    * One (1) GOLD SPONSOR SEAT (plus complimentary admission, if you have not yet paid) at BroNYCon January 2011 (or any future BroNYCon, at your option)! If you will not be attending BroNYCon, you will have the opportunity to donate this seat to the attendee of your choice.
    * One (1) Big Macintosh blind bag figurine! (Not a custom, but genuine Hasbro prerelease merch; identical to the one at [link] )
    * $50 in store credit at BroNYCon January
    * One complete set of all the BroNYCon January posters


    Yes-- ALL of these things will go to ONE lucky winner!

    If you wish to donate to BroNYCon, please send a multiple of $5 via Paypal to prpltnkr (at) gmail (dot) com with the Subject of 'BRONYCON RAFFLE DONATION'. Each $5 will get you one raffle entry! The raffle will be held December 2.

    Thank you in advance, everypony!

    In the spirit of friendship,

    Purple Tinker

    4. Anyone else find just a tiny bit depressing that she's moved onto bigger and better things?

      Still, at least we have the rest of the team to bring us all the amazing adventures to come.

      She still is doing the whole alicorn thing, so that at least is good, right?

    12. Seth, Laurn didn't make that animation.

      ReplyDelete
    13. That little animation snippet is from the upcoming "Amethyst of Gemworld" short, and it doesn't look like Lauren Faust is involved in that particular short (though Brianne Drouhard (potatofarmgirl) is doing animation for it). She rides an alicorn in the original comic, so no, that doesn't look like a MLP reference either. Still, I'm not complaining; I love Brianne Drouhard's work. :)

      I never look at that ebay stuff but because of you I saw that crazy sparkle and smarty pants auction. Where's my mind bleach?

    17. Seth, dude, it's crazy early! I don't know whether to be worried or happy. But I hope this means your sleeping lots =D

      Hoory for Midwest meetups, I loves you guize

    18. Okay. If Rainbow Dash becomes playable in SSBB, that will be the day I hack my Wii.

      ReplyDelete
    19. I'm still getting into the routine of how early these Nightly Roundups have been getting. Still shocked everytime I see one before 5am. lol

      Jeez, already Skyrim mods. lol Shouldn't be too surprised though with how popular the game is and how many Bronies like it. It's all I heard about for weeks!

      Rainbow Dash cutout in almost every shot of that Houston meetup. Yeah, I'd say it was the main attraction there. Haha.

      Hope Purple Tinker has luck in her donation drive to raise money.

      Another Notacleverpony tribute. Very nice. I hope he gets the chance to see all these. I'm sure it'll warm his heart to know he is so liked and an inspiration to many. :)

      Heh, that Twilight video was kinda cute. Though he should have made her a little animated at least. Blinking, or something. And yeah, dating. He obviously has a bit of a crush on a certain book smart purple unicorn. lol

      Aww, those chibi pony badges... wait, I look kinda like a cow! lol

    20. A ANIMATED IMAGE ON THE FRONT PAGE? WHAT HATH GOD WROUGHT

    21. I think it worth mentioning, today(the 15th. It's really yesterday, but I still consider it to be today) we had absolutely no comics posted! Bah! We need more!

    24. I'm really sorry for the confusion the clip is causing right now. I just want to make a fun cartoon with my friends. I would really love if one of the admins here could please straighten it out. I don't want to let anyone down. You guys are cool, but if you are curious about what the deal is with Amethyst, check my blog: http://potatofarmgirl.blogspot.com/2011/11/amethyst-of-gemworld.html
      Thanks, and have a good week!

    25. Ill be at the midwest meetup. I love that group of people. Also helps I live 5 minutes away

    26. So the pony mods for Skyrim have finally turned up. It only took 4 days. You gotta love how fast this fandom does these things.

      When I saw that image, the first thing I though was Amethyst of Gemworld. I remember my cousin having a book of her when I was younger. I was kind of hoping she was part of the Super Friends short as a way to get her back into the DC lime light, the same way Brave and The Bold did it for a lot of the more obscure heroes and villains. I remember that there was a few attempts to bring her into the main DC universe that didn't go so well. I'll still watch the short anyway. If its anything like the comic, It should be interesting.

    27. Ah, the rest of what happened at the Houston meetup wasn't mentioned.

      Basically, the best part was we ended up going to dinner at Red Robin, and when one of the girls that works there found out that we were the Houston Bronies, and came up to the table, and in a tiny, Fluttershy-esque voice, said "I like Scootaloo." The whole table jumped up and cheered for her.
      Also, at the end of dinner, our server (the man holding Dashie in picture #21) told us that knowing that people like us exist makes his life happier, and boosts his faith in humanity!

      Also, here's the video:

    28. Yes, the Skyrim mods have arrived. My Werewolf will wear its cutie mark with pride.

      ReplyDelete
    29. I'm just glad that an idiot ruined the fact your character can become a werewolf for me, because if they hadn't, EQD would have just ruined it for me anyway. Please take into consideration that some of us don't like ANY kind of spoiler at all, didn't look up anything to do with Skyrim before release and that some people also don't have the time to be playing each and every day. Thank you.

    30. @Chaoyll

      As far as spoilers go, Werewolves are about as big a spoiler as finding out your character can use a sword.

      ReplyDelete
    31. @Tylendal You don't have to hack your Wii to use Brawl mods, if that's what concerns you. It's possible to launch homebrew off of a non-hacked Wii. It's just a bit more time-consuming since whenever you want to use homebrew you'll have to launch Brawl first to get into Gecko OS to then launch the game again with mods on.

      ReplyDelete
    32. Hey guys. Animator for RD in Brawl here. At the moment, we're still brainstorming ideas for a full moveset, but if all goes according to plan, production should start by Monday next week, if not sooner! Glad to see all your support!

      I didn't know werewolves were going to be in the game at all, all I heard was rumors they would be and I didn't want to look into it any further. None of my friends who play it knew either, up until one friend decided to ruin it for the rest of us.

    35. unicorns, ponies, and princesses
      Nope let me fix that unicorns, and pony princesses

      I'm impressed you managed to stay that in the dark about it. I'm trying to do the same thing with Mass Effect and Zelda. I refuse to read anything about them, and if someone starts talking about them I just run away screaming (OK maybe I don't actually do that last thing, but I want to).

      ReplyDelete
    37. It's true, the Princess Amethyst shot isn't from Lauren Faust. But it's from Brianne Rouhard (potatofarmgirl), and she's a pretty fantastic artist in her own right.

      ReplyDelete
    38. Now I can ride around in style as I traverse Skyrim in my quest to slay dragons!

      ReplyDelete
    39. @mattwhite924

      It's not hard. All I saw about Skyrim before release were the trailers. If I accidentally came across a page with stuff about it on it, I would close it. I don't understand why someone would want to know every single spoiler there is to know about a game they haven't bought yet, seems a waste of money in the end if you know everything that happens already...

      ReplyDelete
    40. @Chaoyll While I see your point, you have to take into consideration that it's not the ED crew's job to look into every reported Skyrim mod post to make sure it's safe for people that don't want to be exposed to the least bit of information. It'd be unreasonable to expect them to go through all that trouble for a very small subset of people. At the end of the day, finding out you can turn into a werewolf won't be (as Rarity would put it) "The worst. thing.EVER." I'm sure Skyrim has much better surprises in store than that.

      ReplyDelete
    41. Speaking of the animation and Brianne Drouhard, you all should check out her Billie the Unicorn book. The art is amazing. Sure it's aimed at kids but so is a certain cartoon we all like. I just look at it as an artbook.

      http://www.amazon.com/Billie-Unicorn-Brianne-Drouhard/dp/1597020249

      By the way, here's Lauren's take on the book: "It’s not often that something makes you go 'aaaaaww,' 'cooooool,' and 'ha ha ha ha ha' all at the same time. The world seriously needs more of the cute/awesome/funny work of Brianne Drouhard!"

      Sure it wouldn't be the worst thing ever, I'm sure Skyrim has much in store for me still, but finding out (by myself) whether or not I could be a werewolf in this game was up to me to find out myself. I guess I'm still pissed my friend blurted it out randomly and didn't even say sorry. ):

      ReplyDelete
    43. Finally! Been waiting, I've been dreaming for the Brawl mod!

      ReplyDelete
    44. Wait a second...it's finally going to be able to play as Rainbow Dash in Brawl!? *takes breath* yay.

      Now if only my game could still be alive T_T (it died by the fault of my aunt who scratched it by accident)

    45. @Octavia "Another Notacleverpony tribute. Very nice. I hope he gets the chance to see all these. I'm sure it'll warm his heart to know he is so liked and an inspiration to many. :)"

      When I made this PMV Not A Clever Pony was actually the first one to view it. His comment was

      "Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.

      That looks amazing.

      You rock. I'm going to send it to my subscribers."

      and he even posted it on his facebook page.

      Once there is a bit more episodes with Luna in it (I hope), I'm gonna make a PMV with his "For the New Lunar Republic" song.

      His music is so awesome.
